Webtags (preserving history)

Jump to navigationJump to search

The webtags available in the version/build you are using are listed in the Cumulus Help provided with that build.

Webtags available in Cumulus

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>

Note: When you put a tag into your template, 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!

Webtags are case sensitive, so please type them exactly as shown in the web tag columns on this page, or with parameter modifiers added as examples that are also shown on this page.

Using web tags in templates for creating HTML pages

  • You can create a template file that has a structure of HTML elements with Cumulus web tags to represent the information you want included.
  • If you ask Cumulus to process that template file, it will create a HTML page from the template, and during that file creation replace the tag with the current value of the item the tag represents.
  • You also need to tell Cumulus that the resulting HTML file is to be uploaded to the internet (or copied to a local web server).

Using web tags in scripts

  • You can also use the tags within script, either embedded in HTML, or in external files, to transfer the values represented by the tags to the server for further processing.
  • As JavaScript can not understand a real number that has the integer and decimal parts separated by a comma, but your computer may be set to use that representation in standard tags, there are special versions of many tags to use in script - see tags with commas removed section.
  • Note that if a script contains any Cumulus web tags then you must ask Cumulus to process the script file.
  • The whole script can be embedded in a template that is already being processed into HTML. (This technique has been used in the standard 'monthlyrecordT.htm' template).
  • Alternatively embed a bit of script in HTML that is already been processed to convert the tags to a collection of string variables and use those variable names in any external script called from the HTML file. (This technique has been used in the standard 'gaugesT.htm' template).
  • Finally, remember that to use the value from a tag as an integer you need to use a
integer_variable_name=parseInt(string_variable_name,10)

type conversion (or apply '*1', i.e. multiply by one, to implicitly convert the tag from string to base 10 number).

Differences for Webtags in MX builds

The web tags listed below are those available in the latest official (finalised version) release of Cumulus 1.9.x. However, Cumulus MX provides equivalent tags, with only minor differences.

Beta Builds of Cumulus 1

New webtags for beta builds of Cumulus are not listed here until the version becomes 'live', however there is a page that details the additional webtags available in any Cumulus 1 Beta version that is currently under development.

Time/Date 'format' Parameter

Time/Date format codes are used in two places:

  1. As part of report names for NOAA style reports (see Cumulus.ini#Section:_NOAA)
  2. As part of web-tags that report either times or dates or both a date and a time

From version 1.9.1 most web-tags that report any form of time or date will accept an optional 'format' parameter, e.g. (Cumulus 1 only): <#YearTempHT format=hh:nn>.

This allows you to override the default display format for that item, using the format specifiers in the table below.

Although, in theory, you can specify date formatting to times, and vice versa, this will not always yield a sensible result. It is best to look at the default format (in most, but not all, cases this reveals whether date and time information are both available):

  • The time-stamps for today, and yesterday, only contain time information, so only time-based format instructions should be applied to them. You can use date format parameters on (for example) <#metdate>, and <#metdateyesterday> and that may give you your desired date information to augment the time-stamps.
  • Almanac times such as sun-rise, moon-rise, are also only times, and time-based format instructions can generally be applied to them. However, be aware these are calculated as at midnight GMT and for some of your calendar days, the times may be reported (in default format) as '--' if for example the moon does not rise that day.

Additional text

You should put anything that is additional, to the defined format modifier specification below, into single quotation marks to prevent it being interpreted as a date or time format modifier:

  1. For example, the word "on" contains the character "n", which for Cumulus versions 1.9.1 to 1.9.4 will be interpreted as a time format modifier unless you put it into single quotation marks. Example of valid Cumulus 1 syntax: <#TtempH format="'at' hh: mm 'on' dd / mm / yyyy">.
  2. You can include HTML tags (but they cannot have any attributes because both single and double quote characters have defined meanings) and special characters as quoted text within the 'format' parameter.
    Example of valid syntax: <#TapptempH format="'at 'h:nn' 'am/pm '<small>on' d/m/yyyy'</small>'">.

Note for Cumulus 1 - if your format has any spaces in it, you must enclose the whole format parameter value in double quotes, for example (Cumulus 1.9.x): <#YearTempHT format="hh nn">. Consequently, you cannot include double quote characters in any other position (see here for work-around).

Differences between Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX (Cumulus 3):

  • Cumulus MX uses the .NET date and time format characters that are not exactly the same as the Delphi ones that Cumulus 1 uses. For Cumulus MX see this Microsoft site for format selectors. The differences come about because Delphi is case-insensitive, and .Net is case sensitive, so .Net can use upper and lower case for different items, where Delphi has to use different letters.
    1. For example, in Delphi, "nn" means "minutes" for Cumulus 1, but "minutes" is "mm" for .Net in Cumulus MX.
    2. e.g. the hour in 24-hour format, is "hh" in Delphi (Cumulus 1) and in .Net it's "HH" (Cumulus MX).
  • The other change with the "format" parameter is the different way that .Net escapes characters that are not being used as format specifiers. In Delphi you put the 'verbatim' characters inside single quotes (Cumulus 1); in .Net you escape each verbatim character with backslashes (Cumulus MX).

For full details see Cumulus MX forum, the following table is abridged. (I've abridged the table here for those who can't learn about standard strings and custom strings just for looking at date / time format).

List of allowed modifiers

Delphi Specifier for Cumulus 1.9.x .NET Specifier for Cumulus MX Displays
c G Displays the date using the format given by the Windows Short Date format, followed by the time using the format given by the Windows Long Time format. The time is not displayed in Cumulus 1 if the date-time value indicates midnight precisely.

dddddd D Displays the date using the format given by the Windows Long Date format.
m M Displays the month as a number without a leading zero (1-12). If the m specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.
mm MM Displays the month as a number with a leading zero (01-12). If the mm specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.
mmm MMM Displays the month as an abbreviation (Jan-Dec) using the strings appropriate to the Windows Locale.
mmmm MMMM Displays the month as a full name (January-December) using the strings appropriate to the Windows Locale.
yy yy Displays the year as a two-digit number (00-99).
yyyy yyyy Displays the year as a four-digit number (0000-9999).
(not available) h Displays the hour (12 hour clock) without a leading zero (1-12).

Recent History

There are a set of web tags for 'recent historical data', based on an array stored by Cumulus giving data values from 1 minute ago, up to 1 week ago, in 1 minute intervals. As Cumulus runs it will add the latest values to the array with full resolution, and shift existing values along so those older than 7 days fall off. #No_Commas versions of the array are available for use in script.

You specify which value you want from the array by using parameters on the web tags for number of days ago, hours ago, and minutes ago. 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.

Although 'Apparent Temperature' is not included as a tag, it can be calculated in a script from recent 'outside temperature', 'wind speed', and 'relative humidity' values (using the same time selection for all).

When Cumulus is re-started the array it sets up will be based on reading the logs, so the contents 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 a time for which there is currently no exact match, and the first tag listed tells you that nearest time. Before build 1098, the recent history array did not initialise correctly from the station logger for the period since Cumulus was last run.

webtag Function
<#RecentTS> Takes parameters like the 'recent data' web tags (e.g. <#RecentOutsideTemp>) and gives the timestamp of the data that will be returned for those web tags with the supplied parameters (it may not have the data for the exact time specified). Format can be specified in the usual way with the 'format' parameter.
<#RecentOutsideTemp> Outside Temperature
<#RecentWindSpeed> Wind Speed
<#RecentWindGust> Wind Gust (reports maximum gust from build 1088 of version 1.9.4)
<#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> Daily rain total from last roll-over to specified time
<#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>

Day/Night/Sun/Moon

These are updated each hour to refer to current time-zone

webtag Function
<#sunrise> Last sunrise time at the station - This sunrise time is calculated by a third party library each midnight UTC, and each hour Cumulus converts it to local time to ensure shown correctly before and after any clock change.
<#sunset> Next sunset time at the station - The sunset/sunrise times are calculated each midnight UTC, and each hour Cumulus converts them to local time to ensure it shows them correctly before and after any clock change.
<#daylength> Length of day in hours and minutes (sunrise to sunset) - The third party library that Cumulus uses each midnight UTC, may take last sunrise from previous day and next sunset from next day, so the calculation may be off by a minute or so compared to true figure for current day.
<#IsSunUp> A flag to indicate if the Sun is above the horizon or not, based on the sunrise and sunset times.

Possible values are 0 or 1, where 1 is when the Sun is above the horizon for the station location.

<#dawn> Start of last Civil Twilight at the station as at last midnight UTC
<#dusk> End of next Civil Twilight at the station as at last midnight UTC
<#daylightlength> Length of daylight in hours and minutes (dawn to dusk)
<#isdaylight> A flag to indicate if the location for the station is in civil daylight or not, based on the dawn and dusk times.

Possible values are 0 or 1, where 1 notes that it is currently within the hours of daylight.

<#tomorrowdaylength> A string giving an approximate predicted difference between the length of daylight (dawn to dusk) yesterday and length of daylight tomorrow.

This web tag is unreliable, and its use is not recommended. Its use is therefore not supported (i.e. you use it at your own risk).

<#moonphase> Current phase of the moon in words, eg "New Moon" etc. The names used can be altered in strings.ini.
<#MoonAge> Current approximate age of the Moon in days (0-29)

Special tags

OS WMR Series

There are a set of tags for the WMR928, WR100/200 extra sensors:

webtag Function
n/a Now incorporated into the Extra Sensors section above

Davis

Most of the following web tags are available in Cumulus MX from build 3019, Storm tags from 3021:

All (see note for THSWindex) of the following web tags for the Davis PWS are available in Cumulus 1.x.x; which updates the values of the reception tags every 15 minutes:

web tag Applicability Function
<#DavisTotalPacketsReceived> 1.x.x and MX Total number of data packets received
<#DavisTotalPacketsMissed> 1.x.x and MX Number of missed data packets
<#DavisMaxInARow> 1.x.x and MX Longest streak of consecutive packets received
<#DavisNumCRCerrors> 1.x.x and MX Number of packets received with CRC errors
<#DavisFirmwareVersion> 1.x.x and MX The console firmware version
<#DavisNumberOfResynchs> 1.x.x and MX Number of times the console resynchronised with the transmitter
<#THWindex> 1.9.x A derived temperature using Temperature/Humidity/Wind values read from Davis DLL in Cumulus 1.9.x.
  • The THW Index uses humidity and temperature (like Heat Index), but includes the cooling effects of wind (like wind chill).
  • Available from 1.9.2 Build 1009 (Aug 2011).
<#THSWindex> (1.9.x and) MX A heat stress indicator using Temperature/Humidity/Solar/Wind values.
  • The THSW Index uses humidity and temperature (like the Heat Index), but also includes the heating effects of sunshine, and the cooling effects of wind.
  • Therefore requires Davis station with solar sensor.

Approx calculation: Decrease heat index by 1 unit for each 1 mph increase in wind speed, and for each, either 3 Langley increase in solar radiation, or 10% increase in cloud cover.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  1. Although this tag is available in Cumulus 1.9.x, there is an issue somewhere in the Davis code that prevents Cumulus 1 obtaining the value (so tag always displays zero).
  2. Search the forum for several discussions about "THSW".
  3. Cumulus MX reads "LOOP2" packets, and the correct value for this tag can be read there and displayed on 'Now' template.
<#battery> 1.x.x and MX The console battery condition in volts. eg "4.82v"
<#txbattery>

<#txbattery channel=1>

1.x.x and MX The transmitter battery condition, by default it returns the status of all transmitters.

Cumulus 1.x.x Only: The optional 'channel' parameter returns the status for a particular transmitter, up to channel=8. The channel result is just the string "ok" or "LOW" for a low battery

<#StormRain> 1.x.x and MX The console 'storm rain' current amount (build 1090 onwards for Cumulus 1; 3021 onwards for MX)
<#StormRainStart> 1.x.x and MX The console reported date of the start of the 'storm' (the console does not report start time, but it appears a minimum of 2 tips within 3 hours will trigger a storm start, so using <#LastRainTipISO> in a script might help), but standard Cumulus date/time formatting can be applied to that date.

Fine Offset

The following tags are specific to the Fine Offset series of PWS

webtag Function
<#Light> Current Lux value "Fine Offset only"
<#SensorContactLost> 1 if the station has lost contact with its remote sensors "Fine Offset only"

0 if contact has been established
