Cumulus MX provides many, but not all web tags that were available in Cumulus 1. MX adds many more web tags, mostly in support of new weather stations or new sensors. This badge is used against web tags listed in one of the tables that are only available in MX. See [[#GENERAL_TIP|tip]] at top of page for how to check which web tags are available in your build. | |||
A combination of badges appears where certain aspects apply to Cumulus 1 or to MX. No information is given for Cumulus 2 as it is no longer available. | |||
When MX is processing web tags and finds one it cannot understand, a "*** web tag error - see MXdiags file ***" message will appear in the engine console, and the diagnostic file will include something like this, be aware a "token" parser is used to evaluate web tags: | |||
<pre>Web tag error | |||
Exception: i=8998 len=106297 | |||
inputText.Length=106297 | |||
token=<#daylightlength format=H></pre> | |||
This particular error is that when you use a single output format character it does not have same meaning as when there are multiple characters, correct this particular web tag to: | |||
<pre><#daylightlength format=%H></pre> | |||
Please note that where this article makes reference to other pages in the Wiki, the information shown there might be specific to Cumulus 1, as there are differences between the user interface for Cumulus 1 and MX flavours of this software, and the Wiki was originally written before MX existed, so not all pages have been updated. | |||
