Building on Belchertown reports/index.html.tmpl

[Lewis McCallum]

Hi all,

So I'm loving the Belchertown skin, but thought the "Records" section of the template a bit sparse, and I've been trying to extend it to hold lots of info.

I know that you can add to reports.inc and reports-table.inc but what I'm doing is more of a complete rework of the table building index.html template. 

It's going OK so far, but I'm a bit stuck on extending the "Rainiest day" and "days with/without rain" record to shorter timescales. Also min and max temp range.

I'm having difficulties because the built-in tags for calculating these don't seem to be standard weewx observation/tag names.

Does anyone know anything about the following tags:

$year_outTemp_range_max (appears to be an array)

$rainiest_day (also an array?)

$year_days_without_rain (actually all of these are arrays)

I can't find anything about what these are/where they came from/how they are used. Can anyone lend a hand to help me get and use the shorter time_length versions of these?

for context - meikleobney.net/records (to give an idea of what I'm trying to do)

Also while I'm at it, where are the "record-header-*" tags defined? I'd like to add some more.

Cheers and sorry if dumb questions,

Lewis

PS: Deb installed weewx on RPi

Ok so for my add-on question, I found the "records-header" classes in the style.css file. So all good there.

 But still none the wiser on the tags that are actually arrays.

Hi Lewis,

Nice add-on to Belchertown skin you are working on. When finished would you consider sharing this add-on?

The code you are looking for is in belchertwown.py: https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown/blob/master/bin/user/belchertown.py and is part of the search list extension. Look for "Build the all time stats." in this file.

Regards, Arend

Hi Arend,

I actually found that file in my lunch break today. Super useful to have the actual Belchertown code and I should be able to finishing populating my table with that now!

When I’m done and prettied up the new records page a bit I’ll pass on the new records.html.tmpl (along with the modified .py file and likely will need to update style.css). 

Another thing that Im unsure/concerned about is that I’m making all these modifications to various files (.html.tmpl files and now one of the .py files), and I worry that I’ll lose my modifications when time comes to update Belchertown. How do I safeguard against that? Will I have to back up my modified files and then go back in after the update and add the modifications back in? Feels like it could turn into a lot of work. Also feels like a lot of files to need to pass on to anyone wanting to use whatever I’ve made. Is there a better way of doing this than just going in and editing the .py/.html.tmpl/.css files?

Cheers,

Lewis

Using fork and clone on Github you can create a repository to save the changes. If you are willing to share, you can create a pull request to Belchertown repository. If Pat likes your add-on he may consider adding it to the master.

It’s actually about time I learned how to use GitHub beyond just downloading and editing locally. Cheers for the advice I’ll get finishing my table and go figure out the GitHub stuff also.
