Installing a new template

[Marco Citossi]

I would like to install a new template.

For example this one https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer/blob/master/INSTALL

Anyway I've installed weewx (now working) in Oracle Linux 8.9 using Redhat instructions but I don't find utilities like wee_extension.

http://weewx.com/docs/5.0/quickstarts/redhat/

So how can I install a new template? Should I copy files under public_html in a new folder e and change the path in weewx.conf?

Do you suggest some other clean templates as Sofaskin that is not supported anymore?

Thanks.

Marco

Hi Marco, for fuzzy-archer, simply follow the instructions on your default "about.html" ("Custom pages") or consider checking the wiki: https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer/wiki/Customization#custom-pages

For WeeWX 5 the utility works like this:

weectl extension install http://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer/archive/master.zip

(Depending on your installation, some "sudo" might be necessary)

Marco,

Michael's post is spot on, but you should read the Upgrade Guide. It explains what happened to wee_extension.

I don't think it is really spot on, because I just realized that Marco means "skin" when he is writing "template". I understood "template" in the way a cheetah template (a *.html.tmpl) is meant.

Anyway, the result of utilizing weectl extension install will most likely be satisfying for Marco's needs.

Further, fuzzy-archer supports adding new cheetah-templates in a way, that this kind of customization will survive an update of the skin to another version, which is described in the wiki link.

Yes sorry I think I’ve  have used misunderstanding words. Anyway in my public html folder I’ve some messy files and I want to clean. How to rebuild pages in the main folder from scratch? 
Thanks.

If you delete everything, weewx will regenerate them.

You might want to also stop and restart weewx so any .css files or anything else that is set in the skins to copy_once are put into place.

The weewx_<whatever> have been replaced by the weectl command. weectl help for more info
