CUtils 6.18.1

Post by AndyKF650 »

Hi Hans

Thanks for the update which as ever works just fine.

For me the only point of use was the moon image location, this did require a website run, after loading the new update, to get the updated .ini file.

You mentioned the need for a full url which I mistakenly took to need the inclusion of /public_html/, this is of course not needed merely the site address of /images/moon.png. A second rerun of cmd website got everything running in the correct form.

Well that moon image looks good to me, is that your problem.
If you look at my site the moon looks much the same as yours.

EDIT As a second thought you could cross check your moon image on the website with the CMX image at /CumulusMX/web/

Hi Ian

The address you need on the CUtils.ini file for the moon image should be as follows " MoonImageLocation=/images/moon.png "

If the MoonImageLocation line in the .ini file does not show just run the cmd website to refresh the .ini file with the new update. Once you have added the new location rerun cmd website and clear the website cache and all should be visible again.

I can't tell if this is being ignored or if I'm doing something wrong :(

Code: Select all

MoonImageLocation=/images/moon.png

It looks all right to me. The image shows. So what is the point?
And btw: the value of MoonImageLocation is the URL to the moonimage. What you have is a relative path which may work (in your case) but the full path might be easier to understand and less confusing:

Code: Select all

MoonImageLocation=http://www.stewartonweather.com/images/moon.png
The reason for existence of this parameter is the confusion which arose when a user had several sites on one domain with two stationsNote. With upload.php the confusion of where CUtils found the image. Because originally it just took the CMX path for the moon image which did not go well with two CMX images on different locations.

Hope this clarifies.
If not, ask again :?

Note: sutne corrected me on this:
My problem was that my CumulusUtils-web files were not in the CMX root directory.
CMX allows me to upload the moon image to anywhere on my web-area, but there were no way for cumulusutils to know where that was.
Having two different stations uploading to one web was not the problem.

Thanks Andy - yeah it's working perfectly now - I think it must have been a cache issue on another browser, I flushed it too - ah well =)

Thanks Hans, I went back to the relative one and it appears to be working, but one of my other browsers is still not showing, very weird.

cheers again.
Ian.

Which browser is that? And that is also the relative URL?
