Is there a way of having a smartphone button added to the standard skin. I've seen it a older standard skin in the screenshots on Weewx.com http://www.weewx.com/screenshots/hoodriver.png

Thanks in advance.

Of course. It's just HTML. You can link anything.

I assumed that is commonly understood. Guess I asked in the wrong place. I was looking for some help with that. Also wondering why a simple "just html" thing isn't included in the standard skin. -saw-

Wow.

You can get some help by doing a google search for "html button" and looking at the examples that are in every page that search returns.

It's not in the Standard skin because not everyone wants, or needs, a smartphone formatted version, so a link is not always needed.

Figure out where you want the link located in the Standard skin index template index.html.tmpl, then place something like this in that location (NOT TESTED):

<a href="smartphone">Smartphone formatted</a>

Then, make sure you enable the smartphone skin! In weewx.conf:

[[SmartphoneReport]]
# The SmartphoneReport uses the 'Smartphone' skin, and the images and
# files are placed in a dedicated subdirectory.
skin = Smartphone
enable = true
HTML_ROOT = public_html/smartphone

Thanks for sending me in the right direction. Exactly the help I needed. I may be out of my league in trying some of this for the first time but I'm not sure where else to get help to begin learning. Getting closer. I'lll publish my results once I get it fully tested. I'm just doing a generic install and trying to get a couple of tweaks. I'm not a developer nor a programmer but I did have some Sun OS training back in the 80's that helps me with the command line and the VI editor. Thanks again for the help! -saw-
