In the quest to find a way to present my weather station data on devices that cannot use Adobe Flash I have setup SteelGauges - http://www.worldsouroyster.com/cms/weather/mahana-weather-uses-java (http://www.worldsouroyster.com/cms/weather/mahana-weather-uses-java). The intention is to have this page as an iframe page within my website but I am having issues with iframe on my Joomla config so will solve that another day.
One of the things I found the hardest was reading through the long threads on the forums and the wiki to find out how to set this all up. I have created a document to help others achieve this more easily. Hopefully you find it helpful. Oh and if you find errors do let me know!
I would love to use linear graphs for my temperature and rain readings but that is another learning curve for another day.

That's awesome work choc-a-holic. A really useful resource.
Whats the trouble you are having with Joomla and Iframing? Much of my site is iframed joomla

looking good, your steel gauges :)
(even consolewd for raspberry pi can now create the needed for for the steel gauges :) )

Thanks Andrew. Whilst the iframe config says to use the steelgauges.html file it is opening the WDL iframe instead. I tried doing it two ways...via menu option iframe and imbedding the iframe info into an article and I get the same result. I haven't looked for this issue on the Joomla website yet. I will look to see what it says in the database tomorrow as well. There will be a solution I am sure :)

All mine are setup via the menu item. What happens when you save the menu item, and then go back in - does it show correctly?
-
I have solved the problem...the menu item was a sub menu item of weather - If you clicked on weather it would take you to WDL using iframe or if you hovered you would get a whole list of menu options. I changed weather to be a txt separator menu type instead and now it works! Thanks for the offer of assistance it is much appreciated Andrew :)
I will update the link above.
