Migrating Season Skin from V4.7 to V5.3

[Phil Green]

Hello,

I am running Season skin 4.7 on my live system and have added time data for the Min/Max values to the Outside Temperature, Wind Gust etc.

See the screen shot.

I have modified the hilo.inc file as attached

I have got a test system running version 5.3 of the system & Season skin.

Please can I have any advice on how I would achieve a similar result to add the times to the Min/Max data?

I look forward to any advice.

Many thanks

Phil

Consult the Upgrade guide. The only breaking change for the Seasons skin is that delta times need a new suffix. Details are in the guide. With that caveat, you should be able to just replace the new Seasons skin with your old skin.

Hello Tom,

Thanks for the info and ongoing support for a great software package. 

Yes, that’s what I did on my live system, I was just wondering how easy it would be to implement the same features in the new 5.3 Season skin. 

I’ll stick with my current skin.

Regards

Phil

If you're comfortable working in Vim (a Unix vi editor clone), it has a
mode that shows two files side by side in "diff" mode showing the
differences on a line by line basis. It is started as:

"vimdiff file1 file2"

I then go through and make the changes I want to the new skin or
whatever file that gets updated. It's a very DIY way of handling
things.

If you're not at all familiar with vi, there may be other editors that
will do the same by giving a view of differences while editing. I found
this tool to be far less error prone than other ways I'd tried in the
past.

Thanks for the advice about the choice of editor.

I will take a look.
