Can I influence the position of a config object from a lower level?

[michael.k...@gmx.at]

https://weewx.com/docs/latest/customizing.htm#Processing_order

shows four option hierarchies.

When for example, the skin.conf defines:

[ImageGenerator]

    [[day_images]]

        [[[daytemp]]]
            [[[[outTemp]]]]
            [[[[dewpoint]]]]

and weewx.conf defines:

[StdReport]

    [[MyReport]]

        [[[ImageGenerator]]]

            [[[[day_images]]]]

                [[[[[inDaytemp]]]]]

                    [[[[[[inTemp]]]]]]

                    [[[[[[inDewpoint]]]]]]

inDaytemp is after dayTemp. Can I specifiy inDaytemp to appear before daytemp in the config object data structure?

Not sure why you would care but, no, during the merge, new items are appended.

I am caring, because my skin puts images in the order they are configured, something like this in the cheetah template:

#for $imageName in $ImageGenerator
<img src="${imageName}.png" alt="" class="mw-100">

#end for

If I want to put an extra plot, I cannot put it anywhere between by just adding it's config in weewx.conf, I have to edit skin.conf to achieve this.

[Tom Keffer]

OK. Where does $ImageGenerator come from? Is it a search list extension that scans the [ImageGenerator] section of the merged skin.conf, then uses that ordering? If so, perhaps it could also accept an option that specifies the ordering.

This is the way the "self-provisioning" feature of the Seasons skin works. See section [DisplayOptions].

Yes, it is a search list extension. So, I specify a key and a list in the config, then the ordering is then done in the template, following some naming conventions?

[Tom Keffer]

That's right. That's basically what the Seasons skin does.
