Adding Plots for extra****

[messyp...@gmail.com]

Why am I getting only one plot with soilTemp1 & soilTemp2? soilTemp3&4 have data in them; and when soilTemp1,2,3,4 were under [[[daytempext1]]] all four were plotted. I want 1&2 to be in daytempext1, and 3&4 to be in a separte plot - - daytempext2.

Yes I have deleted all *.png from public_html waiting for the next cycle.
Here is an excerpt from my skin.conf:

        # Plot extra temperatures.  You can add more temperature sensors here.

        # However, you might want to make a second plot if your system has more
        # than 3 extra sensors, otherwise the plots can become rather busy.
        [[[daytempext]]]
            yscale = None, None, 0.5
#            [[[[extraTemp1]]]]
#            [[[[extraTemp2]]]]
            [[[[extraTemp3]]]]
            [[[[extraTemp4]]]]
            [[[[extraTemp5]]]]
            [[[[extraTemp6]]]]
            [[[[extraTemp7]]]]
            [[[[extraTemp8]]]]


        [[[daytempext2]]]
            yscale = None, None, 0.5
            [[[[soilTemp1]]]]
            [[[[soilTemp2]]]]
#            [[[[soilTemp3]]]]
#            [[[[soilTemp4]]]]

        [[[daytempext3]]]
            yscale = None, None, 0.5
#            [[[[soilTemp1]]]]
#            [[[[soilTemp2]]]]
            [[[[soilTemp3]]]]
            [[[[soilTemp4]]]]

Not trying to be smart, but your description of your desired outcome bears little resemblance to the plot definition extract provided (eg where is [[[daytempext1]]]) and hence it's impossible to provide any meaningful advice. Might I suggest reworking your plot definitions to what you think they should be, save them, then let WeeWX generate those plots. Then post the generated plot files along with the [ImageGenerator] stanza from your skin config file (or better still the entire skin config file).

I'm sorry I don't understand your "reworking your plot definitions";
and " ...along with the [ImageGenerator] stanza from skin.conf. I
assumed if I added a [[[daytempext3]]] it would automatically
generate another plot, just like if the [[[daytempext2]]] is there
and there's data, it will automatically generate another plot, which
it does. Where did my thinking go wrong?

I just checked and the images are being generated just like I
expected, I wrongly assumed they weren't because they weren't
appearing on the generated page. They're in public_html. Now why
dayextratemp3.png and dayextratemp4.png aren't showing up on the
published page, I need to figure out. I didn't need to do anything
special to get dayextratemp2.png to show up.
If anyone has an idea of what I forgot, or what I failed to understand
about the publishing mechanism in weewx 4.9.1, please let me know.
Thanks.

OOPS ... I found it... I forgot to edit this line in skin.conf:

plot_groups = tempdew, barometer, hum, wind, winddir, rain, lakeelev, tempin, humin, tempext, humext, tempext2, tempext3, humext2, pm

Working now!
