Icons in forecast extension

[Chris P]

Not understanding why the icons arent showing on my website.  http://personalpages.tds.net/~cmplant pretty sure i followed the directions to the "t".  Is there a setting somewhere that i have to point something to the icon folder in weewx.conf or something?

did you a) copy the icons to the skin you are using and b) change the copy once in the copy generator section of weewx.conf - as specified in the instructions - to get the .png files copied to your site?

[Chris P]

A) Yes, i in fact copied the exact lines in the instructions from the github website and pasted them in my console.  B) Pretty sure i did, im wondering if that is the issue, ill have to check my website to make sure those files are even uploading...  If they aren't uploading, do you know if i can just FTP the files to my website rather than letting the conf file do it?  Do they end up in the root folder after uploading or do they go in their own folder on the website?  Thanks!

Just checked my website and it appears the icons are not uploading through the weewx program, guess ill have to go back and check this copy generator section part.

http://personalpages.tds.net/~cmplant/icons/  It looks like it tried though, i didnt make the icons folder manually...

Thank you Andrew for pointing me in the direction you did.  I see i did not do the copy generator part!  Thanks again for the help!

Alright, i have another question, the icons uploaded but now they display really large on my website.  How do i get the icons so they are small?

[Andrew Milner]

Someone else will have to answer - I do not use the forecasting extension - far too much messing around for me!!

I suspect it depends on exactly what you included, where on the page it was included, and how the css is being used.  Too messy for me I'm afraid.

Thanks anyway Andrew again.  I figured it out, it was uploading forecast_compact.css instead of the iconic.css.  All works now!
