Forecast variable and the Forecast extension

[Dan Hinckley]

I have the Forecast extension installed (forecast 3.4.0b12) and it works fine. The index.html page that display the many Forecast display options works, including the Tides forecast.

In tides.html.tmpl, I find

#if $varExists('forecast')

<h1>Tides</h1>

<p>

#set $tides = $forecast.xtides

#if len($tides) > 0

  #for $tide in $tides

$tide.event_ts $tide.hilo $tide.offset<br/>

  #end for

#else

Tide forecast is not available.

#end if

When I add this to the Belchertown index_hook_after_station_info.inc, it reports that the forecast variable is not available.

In Weewx.conf

[Engine]

[[Services]] I have

 archive_services = weewx.engine.StdArchive, user.forecast.ZambrettiForecast, user.forecast.NWSForecast, user.forecast.WUForecast, user.forecast.OWMForecast, user.forecast.UKMOForecast, user.forecast.AerisForecast, user.forecast.WWOForecast, user.forecast.DSForecast, user.forecast.XTideForecast

Can someone point me to what I have missed in the setup/configuration here?

I don’t use Betchlertown, but from your error, I wonder if you’ve added the search list extension for the forecast variables to the CheetahGenerator section of the Betchlertown report.

search_list_extensions = user.forecast.ForecastVariables

John,

Bingo, I should have seen that myself! Many thanks.
