The goal of ''CumulusUtils'' (abbr: Cutils) is to facilitate website creation for users of CumulusMX without exposure to coding in e.g. PHP or javascript. Having a meteo-website should not be privileged to users with great IT-skills. Making charts should not be demanding for programming skills in SQL or making it otherwise impossible to create charts without diving deep into the technique involved in CumulusMX (which actually is also the case with SQL). | The goal of ''CumulusUtils'' (abbr: Cutils) is to facilitate website creation for users of CumulusMX without exposure to coding in e.g. PHP or javascript.

Note that this does not mean you can't use IT skills: the user configurable menu offers an opening to expand as far as you wish. | ||
''CumulusUtils'' positions itself as a configurable application for which the understanding of how to run it and how to configure it is the most important thing to know. For configuration ''CumulusUtils'' uses [[Cumulusutils.ini|''cumulusutils.ini'']] file which resides in the CumulusMX directory. If that file does not exist, it will be created. All other files related to ''CumulusUtils'' are in the utils directory. | ''CumulusUtils'' positions itself as a configurable application for which the understanding of how to run it and how to configure it is the most important thing to know.
