weeWX v4.4.0 (installed using setup.py method)
Raspberry Pi 4 (32-bit OS)

I recently installed wee-wd (https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/weewx-wd) without issue.

When I stand up the Saratoga Template (http://www.tslllc.com/korsherw28/weewx/mainconsole/wxindex.php) the date stamp on the header is simply showing a numeric value (the time stamp is correct).  The same is happening with the date directly under the radar.

The value that is being displayed for the date is the same value that is showing in the clientraw.txt file generated by the weewx-wd plugin/skin for weewx.

Any ideas as to the underlying issue and how to resolve -- noting I'm simply looking for the date to be in the format of m/d/Y.

Thanks in advance!

- Tim

Tim,

Unfortunately the holes in the cheese all lined up for you and resulted in a broken clientraw.txt being generated. If no weather service is specified under [Weewx-WD] [[Supplementary]] in weewx.conf WeeWX-WD use some default values for a number of fields in various templates, including clientraw.txt.tmpl. Unfortunately clientraw.txt.tmpl had a bug that formatted one of these defaults incorrectly, and as clientraw.txt is a simple space delimited text field this threw off all fields after the problem field in clientraw.txt. Consequently on your site you would see some values being updated correctly on your site but some would be incorrect.

I have fixed the bug and released WeeWX-WD v2.1.3. To upgrade just download the v2.1.3 extension package from GitHub, install v2.1.3 with wee_extension and restart WeeWX. After the first report cycle things should come good. If not please let me know.

Many Thanks for the quick response.

 

If we don’t thaw out here (south of Portland, OR, where we received over 1” of ice, which has caused considerable tree damage on my property) I’ll have something to play with tomorrow and report back.   Otherwise I’ll circle back later in the week.

 

Thanks again!

 

Tim

Gary,

 

I un-installed the original install of WeeWX-WD v1.0.3 and installed WeeWX-WD v2.1.3 – the date issue has been resolved and is presenting properly on the Saratoga template.

 

Thanks again!

 

Regards,

 

Tim
