Install of 5.1 into venv went perfect with instructions given, and a question

[DR]

I did a new install on a newly Rasp OS 5 and did the venv first, and all
went well.  Thanks for the bulletproof instructions. Copy-paste is my
friend!


I am running the simulator to let me get used to looking for stuff and
where it all is, which is seemingly very different from a Rasp Pi 4
running WeeWx 4.10


I was poking around trying to modify my display that is generated for
the index.html and ran across a question about the design of the skins
and .incs

In  home/pi/weewx-data there is weewx.conf


In the skins subdirectory there is seasons directory

in there thee skin.conf has the display options section which offers a
list of observations to show, and the order in which they are listed
along the left side of the panel, setting a string to
'observations_currrent'


That seems to be read in the current.inc part to concatenate that string
with two additional values, the outTemp and barometer.

Why do those get added to the observations_currrent string, sort of what
seems to be a forced list rather than to depend upon the string set in
the config file?


And, when I look at the .html that is generated, the outTemp and
barometer are not last on that section listed on the screen?


I'm missing something major and wonder if there is a section in the area
on modifications that I didn't understand.

Sorry to be so dense!  Dale


Oh, I cannot find, running RaspOs, a section in 'var' that has the
sys_log in it the way previous versions seemed to.  Is that in a
different spot for things running in the 'venv' type of environment?

See the wiki and faq for your logs question……and it is not ‘sys_log’ nor has it ever been….
