BETA webtags
Additional webtags available in the BETA version of Cumulus 1.9.3
These are special markers placed in a file which Cumulus can then process and replace with the actual values. Typically you would use this to build your own website by having an HTML template file with your layout, static text and graphics. In the position on the page you wish Cumulus to insert the relevant data place a webtag in the form:
<#tagname>
Assuming you have asked Cumulus to process the file, it will replace the tag with the current value of the item the tag represents just before the file is uploaded to the internet.
Note: When you put a tag into your HTML, be careful that whatever program you are using to develop your web pages doesn't change the angle brackets to slightly different symbols -- this is a common cause of failure!
Also note that web tags are case sensitive, use them exactly as they appear here.

Recent History
There are a set of tags for 'recent historical data', giving data values from 1 minute ago, up to 1 week ago, in 1 minute intervals. Note that the values are initialised from the log files when Cumulus starts, so they will initially have a resolution according to the logger interval you have set in Cumulus and/or your station. You'll get the nearest value if you ask for one for which there is currently no exact match.
You specify how old you want the value to be by using parameters on the web tags for number of days, hours, and minutes. For example, <#RecentOutsideTemp m=1> will give the temperature one minute ago, <#RecentOutsideTemp h=1> will give the temperature one hour ago (as will <#RecentOutsideTemp m=60>), and <#RecentOutsideTemp d=1> will give the temperature one day ago. <#RecentOutsideTemp d=1 h=1 m=1> will give the temperature one day, one hour and one minute ago. All values supplied for parameters must be whole numbers. If you don't supply any parameters, the result is undefined.
| webtag | Function |
|---|---|
| <#RecentOutsideTemp> | Outside Temperature |
| <#RecentWindSpeed> | Wind Speed |
| <#RecentWindGust> | Wind Gust |
| <#RecentWindLatest> | Wind Latest. Note: Wind 'Speed', 'Gust' and 'Latest' have the usual Cumulus meanings |
| <#RecentWindDir> | Wind Direction (instantaneous) |
| <#RecentWindAvgDir> | Wind Direction (average) |
| <#RecentWindChill> | Wind Chill |
| <#RecentDewPoint> | Dew Point |
| <#RecentHeatIndex> | Heat Index |
| <#RecentHumidity> | Relative Humidity |
| <#RecentPressure> | Sea-level Pressure |
| <#RecentRainToday> | Today's rain |
| <#RecentSolarRad> | Solar Radiation |
| <#RecentUV> | UV Index |
Monthly All Time Records
There are a set of tags for monthly all-time highs and lows, in other words the highest and lowest values for a particular month of the year. For example, the highest ever temperature in July. Each Value tag has an optional parameter "mon=N" where N is the index of the month of the year that you want the value for (January=1 and so on). For example, <#ByMonthTempH mon=7> will give you the highest ever temperature in July.
If you don't supply a parameter (or supply an invalid value) the current month will be used. You can customise the date and time formats using the 'format' parameter on the web tag, see below. To supply more than one parameter, separate them with spaces, e.g. <#ByMonthTempHT mon=7 format=hh:nn>
