My exploration of Cumulus MX has succeeded, and as the experiment did help me find a mistake in one of my Cumulus templates where I had not defined input parameters for "Recent History", it has been useful. I am continuing to use Cumulus 1 for the moment, until I am sure MX can do everything I want. | My exploration of Cumulus MX has succeeded, and as the experiment did help me find a mistake in one of my Cumulus templates where I had not defined input parameters for "Recent History", it has been useful.

If your weather station does not have solar instrumentation you might wish to edit some of the display elements that relate to that. You need some understanding of Hyper-Text Markup Language to do this correctly, but here is a simple example. | |||
# Navigate to '''\CumulusMX\interface''' folder. | |||
# Open the file '''now.html''' in an editor designed for code (e.g. Notepad++ for Windows) | |||
# Near the bottom of the file edit it by inserting HTML comment delimiters so it looks like this: | |||
<pre><table id="SolarTable" style="width:100%"> | |||
<thead> | |||
<tr> | |||
<th> Solar</th> | |||
<th></th> | |||
<th></th> | |||
</tr> | |||
</thead> | |||
<!-- | |||
<tr> | |||
<td>Solar Radiation</td> | |||
<td><span id="SolarRad">--</span></td> | |||
<td>W/m<sup>2</sup></td> | |||
</tr> | |||
<tr> | |||
<td>Sunshine Today</td> | |||
<td><span id="SunshineHours">--</span></td> | |||
<td>hrs</td> | |||
</tr> | |||
<tr> | |||
<td>UV</td> | |||
<td><span id="UVindex">--</span></td> | |||
<td></td> | |||
</tr> | |||

</table> </pre> | |||

It is always best to take a backup of your existing MX installation before you do an update, this allows you to regress back to the earlier version if you mess up installing the new version. | It is always best to take a backup of your existing MX installation before you do an update, this allows you to regress back to the earlier version if you mess up installing the new version. | ||
