Sofaskin-CW9009

CW9009 Meridian code modifications to Sofaskin web page for Weewx originally developed by Sven at http://neoground.com/projects/weewx. Please see the readme for dependency requirements to use this skin. An Italian version of these directions are available at http://micae.it/2017/12/28/sofaskin-italiano/.

Sofaskin V1.1 is developed by Sven at Neoground: https://neoground.com/portfolio/neowx/. Sven no longer supports the original skin. This is a great template but I made some modifications to suit my needs. I also added some code from another template by dajda.net to make the history and NOAA Tables. There is also code additions from Björn Torkelsson. A list of the changes are listed below along with instructions to setup the history tables.

• Added more variables in the skin.conf files to help customize the pages.
• Removed monthly and yearly summary drop down list and added a separate summaries page.
• Used all-time records weewx variables to create records table.
• Added a station page for station information along with links to weather networks where data is sent.
• Added Menu button for smaller screens.
• Auto page refresh every ten minutes.
• Added code from the dajda.net to produce history tables.The historygenerator.py script must be added to WeeWx in order for the - tables to work.
• Created a PHP page template to view the NOAA climate text files.
• Add warning if the weather data is old (more than 30 min old). (Written by Björn Torkelsson)
• Replaced javascript code in the web camera section of index.html with CSS slideshow to allow for more than two web cameras

Responsive Menu:
I added a better responsive menu system that would use less vertical space on smaller screen sizes.

History Table:
The historygenerator.py script was part of a template developed by http://www.dajda.net/index.html. More information on the template is available at http://www.dajda.net/about.html and the original template is available on GitHub at https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer. I modify the code in historygenerator.py to create the right html links in the NOAA climate summary table and wrote a php page to view the summary.

Old Data Alert:
Displays an alert message in the header when weather data is X minutes old. The default is 30 minutes but this can be adjusted in the checkdiff.js file in the js folder.
