small problem with database binding

[angry tux]

Helllo,

I'ḿ a bit lost with creating some statistics for the data from two databases.

when I use:

$week($weeks_ago=2).grid_energy.max.formatted    it works perfectly directly with the skin template (SMA)

if I try to use it in another skin with:

$week($weeks_ago=2)($data_binding='SMA_binding').grid_energy.max.formatted   gives me error messages.

While:

$week($data_binding='SMA_binding').grid_energy.max.formatted   gives correct data. So, the binding works well.

What is wrong with the syntax? I tried several constellations, but could not find an solution.

Hi,

Looks like your syntax is wrong, you need to follow the syntax detailed under ‘Aggregation periods’ in the Customization Guide (http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#general_aggregation_periods)

Hi,

Thats what I tried in different ways, honestly, I never learned to code, just puzzle around as good as I understand. But for this I don´t get it whats wrong. Is there nobody with a hint?

Nothing to do with coding, I gave you a big clue. Here is a bigger one, have a look at what you tried that did not work:

$week($weeks_ago=2)($data_binding='SMA_binding').grid_energy.max.formatted

Now have a look at the tag syntax from the link I provided:

$period($data_binding=binding_name, $optional_ago=delta).statstype.aggregation[.optional_unit_conversion][.optional_formatting]

Do you notice a difference? How many sets of brackets () did you use and how many in the tag syntax ?

Try

$week($data_binding='SMA_binding', $weeks_ago=2).grid_energy.max.formatted

Thanks a lot to both of you, it surely works.

Sorrry to bother, I saw the hints for bindings and the aggregation, but I have overlooked how to combine them.

Great to have this examples :-)
