New Belchertown 2, Icon Not Found

[geni08...@gmail.com]

The icon cannot be found and is replaced with “../images/unknown.png.” All icons on the home page are correct.

Affected Menu Items

The problem does not occur for all items; ./images/mostly-clear-day.png is OK.

Live page: https://wetter.affolter.familyds.net/

Hi,

This is a slightly lengthy response but it should be a quick read.

Since v2.0, I do not see any Issues with missing icons. I checked the git logs for the repo and nothing in the text. It may be possible that the issue was resolved and as it was minor, it did not make it in the git log.

On your main page, when the problem happens, is the Icon also not found?  Here?



Background

I believe the code uses the data from https://wetter.affolter.familyds.net/json/current_conditions.json, in particular the icon element, to look up the image: icon element + '.png'

In the example below, it would display the "partly-cloudy-day.png" icon.



Given the above, here are some options.

Next time it happens, check the current_conditions.json file and see what the value is for the icon element. Do you find a .png in .../images?

If so, you could submit an Issue - https://github.com/uajqq/weewx-belchertown-new/issues

If not, well, you could submit an Issue as well. :)

In both cases, include the current_conditions.json file.

The other thing that you can do is upgrade from 2.0v to 2.1v beta 3 - see https://github.com/uajqq/weewx-belchertown-new/releases - or you could try the development branch and see if it is resolved.

I hope the above helps.

I haven't been following the rest of this discussion, but the partly cloudy icon on my original BT system is missing at times too. It never happened or worried me enough to chase it down.

P.s going to do a rebuild to your version soon, thanks for keeping BT alive!

Hi Colin,

When you say "my original BT system", are you referring to the original, Belchertown or the New Belchertown  ?

You can check in .../public_html/images to see if all the necessary .png's are there:

# ls -la part*                             
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3374 2026-07-12 17:19 partly-cloudy-day.png
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3165 2026-07-12 17:19 partly-cloudy-night.png

P.s going to do a rebuild to your version soon, thanks for keeping BT alive!

Ah, the above may answer my question. You are referring to the original Belchertown.

btw, I am not the one keeping BT alive. all credit goes to uajqq!

Right now, the icons are working without me having to make any changes—thank you very much.

Hi,

The issue is data dependent. If certain values are not set, the entire processing of the JSON file upends. 

Cheers!
