Noob question? - Can't see other than the "standard" skin on my webpage. ?

[Alco van Neck]

Hi,

I recently bought a Oregon WMR-88 station and connect it to my raspberry PI with WeeWX on it.
I did a manual installation with the python setup scripts and it works well, you can see it at: http://weather.bluemotica.nl/

I also installed a few skins, I take an example, weewx-WD skin. I installed it with the installer (https://bitbucket.org/ozgreg/weewx-wd/wiki/User%20Instructions#markdown-header-installation-using-the-weewx-extension-installer) and I runs without errors.
I also see the modifications at weewx.conf:

[StdReport]
    # This section specifies what reports, using which skins, to generate.
   
    # Where the skins reside, relative to WEEWX_ROOT:
    SKIN_ROOT = skins
   
    # Where the generated reports should go, relative to WEEWX_ROOT:
    HTML_ROOT = public_html
   
    # The database binding indicates which data should be used in reports
    data_binding = wx_binding
   
    # Each subsection represents a report you wish to run.
   
    [[StandardReport]]
        # See the customizing guide to change the units, plot types and line
        # colors, modify the fonts, display additional sensor data, and other
        # customizations.  Many of those changes can be made here by overriding
        # parameters, or by modifying templates within the skin itself.
       
        # The StandardReport uses the 'Standard' skin, which contains the
        # images, templates and plots for the report.
        skin = Standard
   
    [[wdTesttags]]
        HTML_ROOT = public_html/WD
        skin = Testtags
   
    [[wdPWS]]
        HTML_ROOT = public_html/WD
        skin = PWS
   
    [[wdClientraw]]
        HTML_ROOT = public_html/WD
        skin = Clientraw
   
    [[wdStackedWindRose]]
        HTML_ROOT = public_html/WD
        skin = StackedWindRose
   
    [[wdSteelGauges]]
        HTML_ROOT = public_html/WD
        skin = SteelGauges
   

But how can I see the skins on my website? where do I have to config it? If I restart weewx.. it still shows the standard report on my webpage..not the WD skin..

Silly question??

only one report; Testtags did not build?

looks similar to what I was getting.
going to try again soon to see if i can do better.

1. weewx-WD must put its product someplace else besides where the "regular" weewx puts it. I'm not a WD user, so I can't help you with that. Search around

2. If you're going to use the extended almanac, you'll need to install pyephem. See the docs.

this time I changed nothing after the install of the deb package and it installed fine and no errors on report generating it seems.
Last time I changed the default folder location for www location in the weewx.conf before installing weewx-wd.

However there is a folder created under webroot/weewx/WD/  however there isn't any html files for a page to be displayed.

I obviously missed something complete obvious.
Is there some extra files I need to make the gauges?

The WD "Skin" produces a date files in your HTML_ROOT = public_html/WD location 

The about Weewx WD in our WIKI describes it nicely:

Weewx-WD is a Weewx extension that provides the data files for Weather Display Live, SteelSeries Gauges, Carter Lake/Saratoga weather website templates and the Pocket PWS Android weather App

Weewx-WD consists of a number of Weewx services, Search List Extensions (SLE) and skins that produce the following data files:

clientraw.txt, clientrawextra.txt, clientrawdaily.txt, clientrawhour.txt, customclientraw.txt, testtags.php, daywindrose.png, weewx_pws.xml

In the case of steelgauges the gauges use a json formatted file (this is customclientraw.txt) to "graph" the data, that file is stored in your public_html/WD/customclientraw.txt

Please have a read of 

http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/SteelSeries_Gauges

In particular

My very out of date site.. http://weather.ozgreg.com/steelgauges/  To see it in action

Yes it does, the original post told the answer....

HTML_ROOT = public_html/WD

So the files the extension generated are apparently down in a directory 'WD' under your weewx web root.   You'd want to look for whatever files are in your skins templates.  Mine are as follows:

 clientraw.txt       clientrawextra.txt  customclientraw.txt  weewx_pws.xml

 clientrawdaily.txt  clientrawhour.txt   daywindrose.png      testtags.php

I also cobbled together a index.html with links to each of the above so I can read them (including the windrose image) because I don't have my nginx setup permitting indexing directories.  Your mileage may vary.

Please follow

https://bitbucket.org/ozgreg/weewx-wd/wiki/User%20Instructions#markdown-header-changing-skin-file-locations

Change HTML_ROOT setting for each of the respective [[wdXxxxxx]] sub-sections to the location that suits you, ie the same value as HTML_ROOT in [StdReport]

[Alco van Neck]

Thanks all!, I thought it include also HTML pages, but its a (great) Json service extension. So I'm gonna install SteelSeries Gauges, and also an upload to my EmonCMS database (energy system).
and yes I had to change the root of the webpages for the other skin that I want to use (Bootstrap) it works now at http://weather.bluemotica.nl/Bootstrap/index.html

next up: getting it integrated with emoncms and my joomla website.
