Dear all, hopefully somebody could help with this potential newbie question:

I have successfully added an additional parameter, Watertemp, to my Weewx installation and managed to modify the Seasons skin to include it in the right way. So far so good. My question is how to modify the yearly and monthly NOAA summaries that comes with the Seasons skin to also include this added parameter.

Thanks so much in advance for any advice

Peter

You modify the .tmpl files under the Seasons skin NOAA subdirectory in the same way you modify any other skin's .tmpl template files.

Simply follow the original example in the two files and tweak the header it prints to give you a column heading for the added column.  Should be pretty obvious.

Thanks Vince, I realize my question is somewhat fuzzy and unlcear. However, I´ll start to look into the NOAA .tmpl files as you suggest and hope for further help down the road if needed.

Easiest way to learn how easy it is would be to experiment.   Make sure to save your original copy just in case :-)
