Internationalization (English & French)

Thanks to Rémy L we now have a French language file for our french speakers (along with some minor lang fixes to the core)

Internationalization and point 6!

Various minor, but necessary fixes.

• Add instructions (See point 6 of README) regarding adding a URL link to Seasons (via links.inc). This will provide a link from weewx/, to the wxobs/ page.

• Add the required lang/ and files to the installer. Clean up the installer.

• Tidy up numerous annoyances!

Internationalization + fix

With the release of weewx 4.6.0 comes the ability to add language translations. skins/wxobs/lang/en.conf now exists as a template for those who wish to personalize it.

The weewx localization documents will provide more details.

This gives you, the user, the ability to have languages other than English. Although those other files don't exist just yet, with help they may.

If someone with the required language skill does them, and shares them (perfect, partly, or best effort) ... then we will be on our way!

(This release as v0.7.6 adds the missing datepicker.js.tmpl files and removes the errant paste!)

It's the little things that bite us.

A minor change to note that weewx.conf takes priority over any skin.conf entries, and add weewx.conf placeholders for Units : Group entries as examples.
If you have an installation that is already displaying the labels as you want them, then this update is not required. The changes can be viewed as here

This change is required for the label logic when manually changing units to something other than what is in the weewx database.

See How options work in the Customizing Guide for the full details.

And, weewx4 logging

Tidy up the logs.
Add weewx4 style logging.

Catch up

Catch up on some unpublished fixes, add some new ones.

Merged the 'new timing' branch changes. (v0.7.0)

Create /usr/share/php directory that was missing in some installations.
Adapt code for python3 so it should be weewx 4 ready.

Beta is better?

Pre release of the next version which should (may?) simplify the display output or logic.

Instead of messing around with ext_interval and int_interval within the config file, the choice now becomes that of a single entry (the default) or an average (over 1800 seconds / 30 minutes) will be displayed in the Periodic stats table.

display_interval (was int_interval) is the time between database entries, as displayed in the periodic stats table.

1. 'single' means that the displayed value is the single entry in the database for that time. (everything in-between has been ignored.)
2. 'average' means that the all the entries for the display_interval (default is 1800 [30 minutes]) are summed so that the displayed result is the average of those entries.

Offsite is a plus

This release allows the transfer of the config file (include.inc) for the php side and the sqlite database to a remote server where weewx and the wxobs skin have also been transferred to. This gives you a working remote installation.

Bug fix: symlink for the local database is now included!

If you run wxobs on the same machine as your weewx and weather station installation, then it will all work with zero to minimal configuration.

If you transfer the webpages to a remote machine that cannot access the existing weewx sqlite database then wxobs cannot fetch the data with that configuration.
This version (0.6.5) uses rsync to copy the sqlite database to the remote server where it is then accessible, and also moves the configuration file that tells the relocated wxobs pages where that database copy is located.
skin.conf should help to explain the options available.

For the remote installation, some extra configuration by the user will be required. How much depends on your installation, software versions. OS, filesystem layout, permissions etc.
ie YMMV, but there is now extra flexibilty within wxobs so that it should be quite do-able.

rsync for sqlite

See the next release (0.6.4) for important updates to this pre-release version.

This version allows the transfer of the include file *config file for the php side) and the sqlite database to a remote server where weewx and the wxobs skin have also been transferred to.

If you run wxobs on the same machine as your weewx and weather station are installed it will work with zero to minimal configuration.

If you transfer the webpages to a machine that cannot access the weewx sqlite database then wxobs cannot fetch the data - it won't just work. The fix is to move the database so it is accessible, and to move the configuration file that tells the relocated wxobs where it is.

This version does all that, with some extra configuration by the user - that would be you.
