My davis is up and running. Kicking butt.

1. I may have screwed something up and my current conditions icon is not working.
How can I fix it.

2. Can I add my UV/Solar instead of having the UV/Solar forecast?

Using Weather display.

2. Can I add my UV/Solar instead of having the UV/Solar forecast?

Try ajax-dashboard.php around line 70:

Code: [Select]

$haveUV   = true;        // set to false if no UV sensor
$haveSolar = true;       // set to false if no Solar sensor

I have that .....but still has the UV Forecast

oops. may not have had it in

Do I need to get rid of the UV script?

[saratogaWX]

No, keep the UV script.. it's used by the wxuvforecast.php page.

[chief-david]

I still see UV forecast and not my UV settings.

What else should I look at

In Settings-weather.php you have

$SITE['DavisVP']        = false;  // set to false if not a Davis VP weather station
$SITE['UV']                = false;  // set to false if no UV sensor
$SITE['SOLAR']            = false;  // set to false if no Solar sensor

change that to

$SITE['DavisVP']        = false;  // set to false if not a Davis VP weather station
$SITE['UV']                = true;  // set to false if no UV sensor
$SITE['SOLAR']            = true;  // set to false if no Solar sensor

N.B.  The values in Settings.php/Settings-weather.php override the built-in settings in other scripts when using the Saratoga template.

Even in ajax-dashboard.php? Hadn't realised that could be used standalone. . .

Sorry for the duff gen, @chief-david 

P.S. If this is your new Davis station you probably need

$SITE['DavisVP']        = true;  // set to false if not a Davis VP weather station

too. . .

I started out making separate scripts with inbuilt settings for standalone uses.  When I put together the templates with Kevin Reed and Mike Challis, I adapted the scripts to check for $SITE variables to override the built-in values -- that way, template users could just modify stuff in Settings.php/Settings-weather.php and the the support scripts would autoconfigure.  It made for easy setup of the templates, and allowed for simple replacement of the support scripts without further configuration when updates were issued.  Now you know the method behind my madness

Thanks, that is it. I was on the wrong file.

Yes, vasco, I have a new Davis.

Forgive me, I'm relatively new to this game
