Posted: Sun 10 Jan 2010 4:51 pm
Cumulus Realtime Gadget updated to Version 2.3IH (6. March 2011)
- accept https:
Update 2011-01-05:
Do not use the local realtime.txt version "for real": the gadget will run fine for a while, but will hang after an unpredictable lapse of time - no matter what I do in the code
Cumulus Realtime Gadget updated to Version 2.2IH (21. October 2010)
- accept new additional fields (up to 58) in realtime.txt
- display "not updating" in red if date/time in realtime.txt does not change over 10 intervals
Update 2010-07-16: (version not changed: still called version 2.1IH):
- modified code to handle local realtime.txt. New code uploaded.
Update 2010-07-12: Version 2.1IH:
new optional settings.ini parameter: usdate = "/" causing US-date format in output, with the specified separation char.
Update 2010-07-09 18:45: Code updated. Version no. not changed.
New: site name (the url/path minus the 'realtime.txt' bit) may be shown above the temperature (in color: lime)
Controlled by a new paramter in the settings.ini: sitename = 1. Default: anything else = no site name
(this was an old request (Janter?))
For info: the latest code has been running flawlessly against a local file for about 24 hours now....
Update 2010-07-08 23:00: Code and document updated.
Do not use the local realtime.txt version "for real": the gadget will run fine for a while, but will hang after an unpredictable lapse of time - no matter what I do in the code
Change in Version 2.0IH: (8. July 2010)
- modified the code to allow reading a realtime.txt file from your local system (without a web server)
