Scroller Text Forecast
Hi All,
The forecast text in the display, how do you make it scroll instead of just appear? Is there a way to do that or is that a function of the weather station itself?
Also, I understand that on the main cumulus (console) page there is the white text box with the 'Current' label. The Wiki and help say to use that feature, turn it on in the display settings...I can't seem to find that anywhere;(
Thanks!

Re: Scroller Text Forecast
This code
starts around line 585 in gauges,js.
Set autoScroll and alwaysScroll to true.
Code: Select all
// Singleton for the Status Scroller
//
singleStatus = (function () {
var instance; // Stores a reference to the Singleton
var scroller; // Stores a reference to the SS scrolling display
function init() {
// create forecast display
if ($('#canvas_status').length) {
scroller = new steelseries.DisplaySingle(
'canvas_status', {
width : $('#canvas_status').width(),
height : $('#canvas_status').height(),
lcdColor : gaugeGlobals.lcdColour,
unitStringVisible : false,
value : strings.statusStr,
digitalFont : config.digitalForecast,
valuesNumeric : false,
autoScroll : true,
alwaysScroll : true
});
}
Set autoScroll and alwaysScroll to true.

Re: Scroller Text Forecast
If you can see it, then you've presumably turned it on? If not, the display settings are on the configuration menu, and the checkbox has the label "Show current conditions box".Also, I understand that on the main cumulus (console) page there is the white text box with the 'Current' label. The Wiki and help say to use that feature, turn it on in the display settings...I can't seem to find that anywhere;(

Yes , I can see it, so it must be on. Some I types 'test' in there and can not find any output on the web pages. Is there a tag I need to add somewhere?
Thanks!

Re: Scroller Text Forecast
The gauges.js on your web site still has alwaysScroll: false - http://www.yardvilleweather.com/scripts/gauges.js
Please zip up and attach the template to which you have added the <#currcond> web tag.

Re: Scroller Text Forecast
Got the scroller to work . Not sure what happened, maybe I didn't save it the first time
When I get a chance I will zip up and upload my indexT.htm file. I'm on the IPad right now.
Thanks!!
