I am using the exfoliation skin and have gotten all the pages working, except there is a problem with the display of the "current" page. I've attached a file showing the problem. The current weather source is set in the weewx.conf Forecast extension as NWS with lid = COZ081 and foid = PUB. The three-day forecast is working properly in the third column, but the forecast conditions in the second column are missing. There is also a formatting statement shown there. I am using the standard index.html.tmpl as it comes with the extension. Any help (especially from the extension's author!) is appreciated.

To properly display $day.maxSolarRad.xxx tags will require you to add the field maxSolarRad to your database schema. maxSolarRad is a derived observation that is calculated by WeeWX and added to loop packets and archive records. The current maxSolarRad value (ie $current.maxSolarRad) can be displayed without any change to the schema, but aggregates or plots require WeeWX to be archiving the underlying data. If you want to go ahead and add maxSolarRad to the database schema refer to the Adding a new type to the database section of the Customization Guide.

As for the other issue with the missing forecast data I don't use the Exfoliation skin nor do I use the NWS forecast so it's going to take a little time before I can provide any assistance there.

I have simply removed that column as the information is covered elsewhere in the skin. Looks pretty good now. thanks again for your help.
