Category:Cumulus MX: Difference between revisions

To set up your web server for the first time, you need to do a one-off installation of a number of files that do not change. These are found in '''\CumulusMX\webfiles''' and its sub-folders. these include the standard styling file '''\CumulusMX\webfiles\weatherstyle.css''' which you place in the directory specified for the uploads. To do this, you will probably need to invoke a FTP process outside of Cumulus. The filezilla client is a popular choice, although other software to do this is also available. Next you have three sub-folders, each of those sub-folders need to be replicated '''within''' the directory specified for the uploads. For example '''\CumulusMX\webfiles\images\picture.jpg''' will be stored in a "images" sub-directory of the upload directory and is used as the background image for web pages. There is nothing to stop you creating your own "picture.jpg" (instead of uploading the supplied one) and then Cumulus web pages will use that for the background image on each page. Similarly '''\CumulusMX\webfiles\js\cumuluscharts.js''' needs to be stored in a "js" sub-directory of your upload directory (this is the script that allows you to change the chart shown on the trends page and uses the appropriate json file to populate it with data). The "lib" sub-folder contains further levels of sub-folders all to be replicated on your web site.
