[. . . ] title=Sending_ Weather_ Warnings&oldid=2005 Principal Authors: ANONIPEDITS:0 Creating a Weather Web Page 49 Creating a Weather Web Page Purpose: Create a web page(s) for use on either the local LAN or at a public WEB site. Also to transmit that page(s) to the web server. Let WD Create the page(s) * Click "Setup" in the menu bar, then control panel. * Click "then, Web files/web page setup". * Click the tab labeled "Web Files setup #1". To set the name of the file that will be uploaded to your web page, and be part of the URL, enter that under weather station filename. No spaces, but you can use - or _ and don't include '. html' or '. htm'. The file name will have '. htm' put on the end of it automatically. You may click the "Use . html instead of . htm", if you prefer that option. If you are uploading a web cam file (the file name must remain static; see Help topic for web cam to setup this up), then add in the title of the web cam image that you want to appear on the web page (e. g. If you want a wallpaper /background image to appear on the web site, then you enter the name of the wallpaper or image (jpg or . . gif only), but this file must be on your FTP server. You can have WD upload it to the server (see the "manual upload" tab), or use another FTP program. Title of Web page: This will appear on people's bookmark of your URL, on the browser window, and on the Table title on the web page. Special status message: use this as a quick and easy way to let people know the status of the weather station. The real time graph upload is the one you can see under view, real time graph (or right mouse click on the graph in weather display to see this option) Right mouse clicking on most of the screen in weather display gives you some popup options, and a left mouse click will also go straight to some screens. Tick the screen shot option to have the weather display screen, as you see it now, appear on the web page. You can change the colour of the screen shot; see the button to set screen shot colour (this is independent from the colour you have selected for normal viewing). The upload time stamped 24 hour graph files option is useful if you want to limit the amount of web server space weather display uses (i. e. un-tick this option to limit the file space used). Tick don't show indoor temperature/humidity on web page if you don't want these values to appear on the screen shot (some weather station types do not have indoor temperature/humidity anyway). If you only want some images/dials on your web page, and no table, then you can tick that option. The upload daily high/low pressure is to upload and include on your web page the daily high/low extremes (see under view, or click the extreme conditions section on the weather display screen to see this image).
