Cumulus ‘Current Conditions’ Alternative v3.0
« on: December 24, 2014, 01:11:34 PM »
As opposed to Weather Display, the Cumulus Software does not have an automatic calculated 'Current Conditions'.  Cumulus Users have to manually type their conditions into a box  in Cumulus itself.

After years of manually adding the ‘Current Conditions’ into my Cumulus Window on my PC, I finally have a script to do it for me automatically by reading the webtags on my Server.

Going on 4 months 'in the making' this script is very clever and comes also with an Admin Modifier Panel. The admin Modifier allows online alterations through ones browser from anywhere. Ideal for when away or at work.

The script supports Cumulus Standard sites, own Web design sites ( as David and I have ) Weather By You and Saratoga Web sites.

It supports 21 languages in the Saratoga Enviroment and 12 in Weather By You or Cumulus Stand a lone.

The script was kicked off by our own member Philipgm with 20 odd lines and my own script of a few lines. From there beteljuice began coding and fudging together our ideas covering all conditions as accurately as possible. Language files were complied by many of the Cumulus Forum's members which was no mean feat as many do not speak english. Google Translator certainly has closed the gap as far as communication between our countries is concerned.
So as you see it has been team work.

I will post links below to my demo sites and a link to the Cumulus forum where the different Packages have been released.
If anyone has a play please post below for others to see :)

Thanks JennyLeez and beteljuice.  I have it at -

and have already used the CCmodifier when my station reported rain but it was snow in the rain bucket melting a few days later.  Merry Christmas

Enjoying,
Paul
