These section of the Wiki will enable you to get the latest information and resources for the alternative to the default CumulusMX public website. |

=== |
===Alternative public website=== |
||
Please visit the [[AlternativePublicWebsite|Alternative Public Website]] |
|||
This will always be available to you in the 'websites' folder of your CumulusMX Installation. If you wish to undo any of the changes that downloads from this page generate then simply re-copy the websites folder to your web host. |
|||
Please note. This is NOT part of the CumulusMX Distribution package and is provided only for those interested in having a public site that uses similar structures to the Alternative Interface. |
|||
Although it should function at the date of release, no guarantees are given that it will continue to do so with subsequent releases of CumulusMX. Users should take time to investigate how it reacts and uses the library and data files uploaded by CumulusMX so that you are able to do some troubleshooting for yourself. |
|||
===Templates=== |
|||
There are currently 3 alternative template frameworks for the site. These all include 4 variations for the main content area of a page; a single column, two column, three column and four columns. These can be used as the framework for existing pages or to add your own content as required. You can choose to use them in any combination or just one - its up to you. All come with a pdf readme file to help you use the but for full information about the available styles visit [https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/default.asp w3Schools]. |
|||
Full details of the alternative public website, including screenshots can be fond on [https://oaktreewebs.co.uk/wiki/ my wiki] together with comprehensive instructions on how to install, use and modify. |
|||
The available frameworks are: |
|||
* A lefthand sidebar with the main panel on the right. [[File:Https://cumuluswiki.org/a/File:LeftSBTemplates.zip|Left-handed sidebar template]] |
|||
* A righthand sidebar with the man panel on the left. [[File:Https://cumuluswiki.org/images/2/2a/NoSBTemplates.zip|No sidebar templates]]. This is similar to the default site but the sidebar starts higher up the screen. |
|||
* A set with no sidebar - just the main content area. [[File:Https://cumuluswiki.org/images/6/67/RightSBTemplates.zip|Right-handed sidebar templates]] |
|||
This site also comes with new themes (unfortunately not compatible with the AI or previous versions) that should be easier to modify for your own needs. |
|||
====Additional/Alternative Pages==== |
|||
=====Gauges===== |
|||
We also have an alternative to the default gauges.htm page. This does away with the sidebar and places the gauges in fixed width panels that automatically reposition themselves as the page strings. The gauges are also able to be placed in any order without resorting to cut-n-paste. Just add a number to their order property and its done. ''(Link to added)'' |
|||
==Editing the website menu== |
|||
This can be downloaded here. |
|||
Please refer to my [https://oaktreewebs.co.uk/wiki/ wiki] for full details of the menu and how to edit it. |
|||
=====NOAA Reports===== |
|||
To satisfy those who also publish their NOAA reports, this page will display 12 months worth of reports and the current annual report. It uses the default layout at present but will be updated as required. [Https://cumuluswiki.org/images/f/f1/Template-NOAA.zip NOAA website page] |
|||
==Changing the Theme and Other Settings== |
|||
===Complete ready to run alternative website pack=== |
|||
We hope to have complete 'website' ready alternatives to the default provided by CumulusMX available. It is likely that these will include a NOAA reports page as standard. |
|||
Please refer to my [https://oaktreewebs.co.uk/wiki/ wiki] for full information on configuring and setting up the alternative website. |
|||
===Colour schemes=== |
|||
The website and templates use a colour scheme to make it easier to change the colour throughout the site. By downloading the colour theme pack, you can simply rename the chosen colour as 'colours.css' and it will be applied throughout your site. |
|||
The theme included in the pack are: |
|||
* '''Arcadia''' - almost a bottle green based on #00a591 |
|||
* '''CherryTomato''' - a muted red based on #e94b3c |
|||
* '''ChiliOil''' - a reddy brown based on #944743 |
|||
* '''HarbourMist''' - A warm grey based on #b4b7ba |
|||
* '''Limelight''' - An insipid yellow based on #f1ea7f (for the brave or colour challenged) |
|||
* '''QuietGrey''' - A slightly cooler grey based on #bcbcbe |
|||
* '''RedPear''' - A variation between CherryTomato and ChiliOil based on #bcbcbe |
|||
* '''RussetOrange''' - A muted orange based on #bcbcbe |
|||
* '''SpringCrocus''' - a muted purple based on #bc70a4 |
|||
* '''UltraViolet''' - Two theme based on purple / violet - again for the brave or colour challenged. |
|||
* '''ValientPoppy''' - As above. |
|||
More will be added over time. Use this link [https://cumuluswiki.org/images/4/43/ColourSchemes.zip Additional colour schemes] to down load the schemes. |
