Belchertown Skin 1.2 is out of beta and released! You can download it here

Thanks to everyone who helped test all the new changes, especially with the new Aeris Weather integration testing! DarkSky will be missed but Aeris is a great replacement. 

If you're upgrading, please pay attention to the breaking changes that you will need to migrate to.

I had an error with the install for this skin and was missing some icons. It's been fixed. I suggest you re-download the release, re-install it and restart weewx. Oops!

Hi Pat,

I upgraded to version 1.2 and noticed that there is the code to swap the moon phases for southern hemisphere, which is great.
I looked at it and it didn't look correct. I looked at the css code and saw that the code to lip the icons was there.

This is my web site:
and I compared it to yours:

Then I figured out why it didn't look correct because I was looking at it in dark theme. When dark theme is selected the moon phases change to incorrect.
When the theme is light the moon phase is correct.


Other than that all is OK.

Hi

I have solved this problem by deleting "-alt" in belchertown.js.tmpl on lines:

    // Moon icon, phase and illumination percent
    switch ( data["almanac"]["moon"]["moon_index"] ) {
        case "0":
            jQuery(".moon-icon").html( "<div class='wi wi-moon-alt-new'></div>" );
            break;
        case "1":
            jQuery(".moon-icon").html( "<div class='wi wi-moon-alt-waxing-crescent-3 $hemisphere'></div>" );
            break;
        case "2":
            jQuery(".moon-icon").html( "<div class='wi wi-moon-alt-first-quarter $hemisphere'></div>" );
            break;
        case "3":
            jQuery(".moon-icon").html( "<div class='wi wi-moon-alt-waxing-gibbous-3 $hemisphere'></div>" );
            break;
        case "4":
            jQuery(".moon-icon").html( "<div class='wi wi-moon-alt-full'></div>" );
            break;
        case "5":
            jQuery(".moon-icon").html( "<div class='wi wi-moon-alt-waning-gibbous-3 $hemisphere'></div>" );
            break;
        case "6":
            jQuery(".moon-icon").html( "<div class='wi wi-moon-alt-third-quarter $hemisphere'></div>" );
            break;
        case "7":
            jQuery(".moon-icon").html( "<div class='wi wi-moon-alt-waning-crescent-4 $hemisphere'></div>" );
            break;

That suggestion to take the -alt out doesn't work here in the Southern hemisphere.
I will just use the light theme.

Pat;

   GREAT job! - upgraded this morning to 1.2 --

   So Far so Good. I did notice that the embedded link within each day's individual forecast has been removed. Works for me,  I was just hoping it wasn't a result of me missing a configuration setting?

   The ONLY thing I see working differently, is that I get some of the 'live' weather station values coming in as N/A until an update fills in the actual reading. I had not seen that before.

  Keep up the Great work...

You guys and your upside down moon :) 

Interesting catch! I didn't realize it was flip-flopping on the theme switching. I'll have to take a look at that

The forecast link was removed because Aeris doesn't give a reliable way to script that with the information I can get from your weewx.conf file. However there is the option  forecast_show_daily_forecast_link and  forecast_daily_forecast_link that could work. 

forecast_daily_forecast_link  has some pretty specific parameters though, so make sure you read the readme guide on it 

The N/A comes from weewx I believe and could be a sign that you may have a bad sensor or something?

We are the forgotten metric hemisphere. :)
I can just use the light theme and that works fine.

Thanks for looking at it. It is nice to see the moon the right way around when you step outside.

Pat;

   thanks for the info and for pointing me to the relevant information. I was able to get those links up and running again. <my site>

  as far as the N/A values being displayed... I haven't seen them since the first day, just after upgrading to 1.2 skin. Perhaps I just didn't wait long enough after restarting weewx.

   Thanks again ....
