Cutils v7 migration

[Nossie]

So the example .def file is just that, create a copy and rename it to CutilsMenu.def and then you can add and change things as you like.


Here is mine just FYI

Notice the ; for commented out lines but you could just remove them - the main thing Paul is that what you are modifying is just an example.

Thanks, that helped a lot. After much trial-and-errors, ended successfully!

Enjoy,

The v7 home page has [User] [NL] and [Map] tabs. I want to edit these and have renamed MAP and started to edit the content in CUsermenu-example.txt. Where can I remove, rename and edit the User and NL tabs?
http://www.komokaweather.com/cumulusmx4/index.html

Hi Paul,

Indeed you should use CutilsMenu-example-for-use.def and move that to CUsermenu.def

The CutilsMenu-example.txt ( ) (there is no def file for CUsermenu-example) is for the old SYSTEM-1 menu system. I will remove that file for the final release, system-1 is strongly disadvised and it serves no purpose anymore.

Thanks for the observation.

Cheers,

[Nossie]

Great to see Paul


Thanks Hans - that beta has fixed the co2 issue.

@Ian: Good and thanks for helping out Paul, I did not read beyond Pauls original message

I am still running 2 instances of CMXv3 with CUtils v6.23.6 but these will eventually be stopped and converted to CMXv4.
I've updated the CutilsMenu.def menu but have a small thing...

I was successful to get another CMXv4 working with CUtils v7.0.0 and the CutilsMenu.def http://www.komokaweather.com/cumulusmx4 ... n=Overview

I have updated the v6.23.6 to the same CutilsMenu.def and that also works well. However in both there is an additional menu tab.
For one v6.23.6 install there is an extra [Uploads] and [Maps] tab http://www.komokaweather.com/cumulusmx/index.html
For the other v6.23.6 install there is an extra [User Menu] tab http://www.komokaweather.com/cumulusmxwll/index.html
These appears to be a carry over from the previous CUsermenu that had these extra tabs but the new CutilsMenu.def does not have these two tabs, and all 3 installs have the identical CutilsMenu.def in \utils. I have done a website run several times for both the v6.23.6 installs.

Just live with it for the time being, or did I do something wrong/missed something?

Enjoy,
Paul

All your sites re unreachable for me a.t.m. @paul, I'll check again tomorrow and we'll contact in the afternoon (my time) / morning (your time)

[HansR]

@Paul: unfortunately all those links are inaccessible (see screenshot of what I see). I unlocked all blocking possibilities for ads/trackers, malware and scams but it remains no go.

But try to remove the CUsermenu.txt from the server directory. It could interfere if you use both menu systems at the same time. Your menu does not have anything to do with me not seeing your site I assume.

Interesting.
Any country restrictions?
All links work fine for me.

@Hans write:

Which file (name) should I use CutilsMenu.def or CUsermenu.txt?
Neither of these files are on my webserver and I think that is ok.

I have tried a website run using the v7 included CUsermenu-example.txt after renaming it to CUsermenu.def in the CumulusMX4\utils folder and the tabs on the home page are Home, About, Reports, Graphs, Records, Extras, Misc, Toggle Dashboard, Print and they all work. But none of the new tabs that would have the navigation items in the example file - like Waterstanden.txt and European Forest Fire Information System, etc. If I could get this working then I should be able to edit for my preferred sites/links. I am drawing a blank

Enjoy,
Paul

@Paul: indeed I confused myself and everybody else

I think I best point to the wiki.
The file CutilsMenu-example-for-use.def in the distri is a good starting point with all possibilities shown.

The file you use operational must be CutilsMenu.def which must reside in the utils directory (like CutilsCharts.def).
The system-1 file (CUsermenu.txt exists on the server (but please remove it when you use system-2)

Hope this clarifies.

all resolved now. I've used only my edited CutilsMenu.def in both \CumulusMX\utils and remote webserver. Both CMXv3 and CMXv4 installs now show the menu as I expect. Quite easy when it sinks in, and a read of the Wiki also helps.

Thanks for your patience.

Enjoy,
Paul

Pfff...

And I see your site when using my 5g connection on the phone so it must be somewhere in my wifi
