Based on the JavaScript/HTML5 Canvas SteelSeries gauges, this weather gauge page is now available in version 2.0
 
The page is Ajax based and uses the JQuery library to pull a JSON formatted data file from your web server to update the gauge values. By default the page is configured to update every 60 seconds.
Each gauge has has an optional pop-up information box that contains some additional text based data for today, and a graph of recent trends for relevant values.
 
Please note that these gauges use HTML5 'features' and so will not run on older browsers, in particular versionversions of Internet Explorer prior to IE9. Also if you are planning on embedding the code in an existing page, then the whole page should be converted to the HTML5 standard.
 
== Quick Start Guide for Cumulus 1 Users (Other software users may want to scan this too) ==
 
1. Extract all the file in the SteelSeries zip file to a folder on your PC.
1. Copy "realtimegaugesT.txt" to your Cumulus web folder.
 
2. Copy "realtimegaugesT.txt" to your Cumulus web folder (N.B. The file in the SteelSeries zip is for Cumulus 1, Cumulus MX supplies its own file with this name, but using a slightly different format).
2. Copy "gauges-ssT.htm" to your Cumulus web folder.
 
3. ConfigureCopy "gauges-ssT.htm" to your Cumulus Internet|Filesweb to:folder.
 
4. On main Cumulus screen, in '''Configuration''' menu, pick ''Internet'' option, '''Files''' tab and complete a row for each file (again this guide is for Cumulus 1, Cumulus MX automatically uploads realtimegauges as a standard file):
 
realtime file:-
Process = Yes
Realtime = Yes
FTP = Yes (unless you are local hosinghosting)
UTF-8 = Yes
gauges HTML file:-
Process = Yes
Realtime = No
FTP = Yes (unless you are local hosinghosting)
UTF-8 = Yes
 
(The standard Cumulus template is Cumulus\web\gaugesT.htm, this uses "Cumulus\web\gauges-ssT.htm" so you can retain the old one).
'''''NOTE''': Cumulus does not actually update any data when it processes the (gauges-ssT.htm) web pagetemplate, it simply replaces the 'static-ish' values such as your station name, location, version etc. If you wish you can edit the ''gauges-ssT.htm'' file and directly enter the information, then you do not need to get Cumulus to process the file, just copy it once to your web site, removing the 'T' from the filename. OR, you can let Cumulus process and upload the HTML file to your web site a few times, then remove it from 'files' tab table.''
 
45. If required edit the "gauges.js", the key items are at the top:
 
- The path on your website to the "realtimegauges.txt" file.
- The relative path on your website to your 'trend' graphs folder (''images'' in standard Cumulus set up).
- The relative path on your website to your old 'gauges.htm' page. (users with 'old' browsers will be redirected to this page)
 
56. If you do not require the UV/Solar Index gauges, then change the lines
 
showUvGauge  : true,
showSolarGauge  : false,
 
67. IfFTP youthe havefolders installed'css' toand a'scripts' weband foldertheir differentcontents from(the yourfiles Cumulusthat 'root'are youcontained willin alsothe needZIP tofile) editfrom your PC to the folder where your "gauges-ss.htm" file, andis located amend(probably the relativesame pathfolder towhere all your other Cumulus "weatherstyle.css"HTM filefiles are located) on your web server.
 
8. Test the page.
7. Copy (or move) the folders 'css' and 'scripts' and their contents (the files that are contained in the ZIP file) to the folder where your "gauges-ss.htm" file is located (probably the same folder where all your other Cumulus HTM files are located).
 
=== Relative Paths ===
 
Are just that, they specify where something is on your web site folder structure relative to the page you are currently displaying.
If you are installing to a web folder different from your Cumulus 'root' on your web server, you will first need to edit the "gauges-ss.htm" file, and amend the relative path to your Cumulus "weatherstyle.css" file. So if you copy these gauges to a folder called 'gauges-ss' in the root of your website, the relative path of the Cumulus css file is one folder back in the path. You would then enter the path as "../weatherstyle.css".
 
== What Next? ==
It is as well to leave the original gauges page on your site, the new page will direct any really old incompatible browsers back to the original page.
 
If you decide on a different 'standard' gauge size, then it is a goodyou ideaneed to edit the HTMLgauges-ss.css file. andBy makedefault all the gaugegauges <canvas> entries 'width' and 'height' propertiesuse the same value".gaugeSizeStd" This is not mandatoryclass, butsimply it meanschange the page will not 're-flow' between the initial page loadwidth and scriptheight running.settings You can also remove any elements associated with gauges you will not use as wellthere, again this is not mandatory, the script will remove them dynamically for you.
 
You can also remove any HTML elements associated with gauges you will not use as well, again this is not mandatory, the script will remove them dynamically for you.
 
== Browser Redirects ==
(where XX is the desired language code).
 
To add a new translation, edit the "language.js" file and copy one of the existing sections e.g. English, to the end of the file, changing all the LANG.EN values to LANG.XX (where XX is the code for the new language), and editing all the strings. The zip file contains a language.js file with English, French, German, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Italian, Spanish, and Catalan translations to get you going.
 
I see the translations as community effort, so I have created a [[SteelSeries_Translations|translations page for SteelSeries]] here in the Wiki. Please contribute by refining or completing these pages.
 
If you are only going to use one language, then deleting the unused language options and the changeLang() function from the language.js file will speed up the page load time slightly.
&lt;script src="scripts/windrose.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src="scripts/RGraph.common.core.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src="scripts/RGraph.radarrose.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
 
2. Edit gauges.js, and change...

== Altering the gauge sizes on the page ==
 
From version 2.2.0 the sizes of the gauges is controlled via CSS and longer coded in the gauges.js script. By default all the gauge canvas tags are set to pick up their size from the ".gaugeSizeStd" class in gauges-ss.css file. To change the size of all the gauges, simply edit this class and set the width & height to your required size - the width and height should always be the same.
 
You can easily have different sized gauges on the same page, in the gauges-ss.css I have created two additional classes ".gaugeSizeSml" and ".gaugeSizeLrg", (again you can edit the width/height values of these classes to whatever you want), to assign one of these alternative sizes to a gauge, edit the HTML and change (for example)...
 
<canvas id="canvas_baro" class="gaugeSizeStd"></canvas>
to
<canvas id="canvas_baro" class="gaugeSizeLrg"></canvas>
 
This would change the Barometer from a 221 pixel gauge, to 261 pixels (using the default values).
 
== JavaScript Files ==
Some of the JavaScript files are pre-minimised in the package, the un-minimised versions of these script can be found in the /scripts/src folder. The 'src' folder is not used by the web page in normal use, but for debugging purposes you may want to change the page to these source scripts.
 
'''''Note:''''' the file ''"scripts/steelseriessteelseries_tween.min.js"'' is a combination of ''"scripts/src/steelseries.min.js"'' '''AND''' ''"scripts/src/tween.min.js"'' concatenated together. You should never have to edit these files, but be aware of this if you do.
 
All the JavaScript files have been created using a UTF-8 character encoding, when editing the files please use an editor that is capable of retaining the correct file encoding.
 
Once you are happy with your web page I recommend that you minimise all your scripts, and possibly concatenate them - if you do this though, ensure that you maintain the script load order. Concatenation is not as big a speed up as it used to be as most modern browsers no longer 'block' when downloading a script file.
 
 
== Weather Display Users ==
 
These files will work with WD if you switch the following value in gauges.js:
weatherProgram : 0,
To...
<script src="scripts/windrose.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/RGraph.common.core.min.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/RGraph.radarrose.min.js"></script>
 
Note that VWS does *not* produce data for all the entries to be displayed.

== WeatherCat Users ==
 
Please see the WeatherCat wiki page for instructions: http://wiki.trixology.com/index.php/Steel_Series_Gauges
 
== Meteobridge Users ==
 
Some features of the gauges page are not available, when you configure the program type to "4" the
script automatically disables the Wind Rose gauge and the pop-up graphs.
