formatting of current.inc

[Neville Davis]

I have data being stored in watt Hrs in the db and have a daily sum formatted to 2 decimal places in the current.inc file, it displays within the widget but at the top of the section (see attached). Any ideas on how to correct this please

I also would like to know how to add an observation to the standard groups, e.g the observation "powerconsumed" add to the group "group_energy"

Any help would be appreciated.

It would be useful to have more information. Did you add "powerconsumed" to the list "observations_current" in skin.conf? If so, where in the list? 

Instead of including a screenshot of current.inc, how about posting an actual copy of both it, and skin.conf? 

As for your second question, see the section Assigning a unit group in the Customizing Guide.

My responses keep getting deleted not sure why, possibly attachments????

I will again look at the guide must have missed the info.

Yes I did add "powerconsumed" in the "observations_current" in skin.conf list.

I had already removed those items I wished not to display and added my new observation after rainRate as follows...

" observations_current = outTemp, outHumidity, barometer, windSpeed, rain, rainRate, powerconsumed, inTemp, inHumidity"

this is my current.inc file..

Hopefully this is posted

I have added my new observation to the group and my data now displays with units correctly that is "16622.49 Wh"...and the daily sum is correct.

It still positions itself at the top of the current.inc widget.

Not sure if it's the cause or not, but you might want to add the missing '>' to the closing </td> at the end of this line:

<td class="label">$gettext("Power Consumed today")</td

Thanks for that, I did look and look, it was the problem.
