{{AddOnBanner\|name=SteelSeries Gauges\|type=Web Page\|author=Mark Crossley\|contact='mcrossley' via the forum\|updated=2523 ~~August~~October ~~2013~~2018\|version=2.47.42}} [[Image:gauge.png\|left]] [[Image:Steelseries-sshot-3.jpg\|thumb\|Default Gauges]] Please note that these gauges use HTML5 'features' and so will not run on older browsers, in particular versions 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. 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). 3. Copy "gauges-ssT.htm" to your Cumulus web 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): ~~4. Configure Cumulus Internet \| Files to:~~ realtime file:- Realtime = Yes FTP = Yes (unless you are local hosting) UTF-8 = Yes gauges HTML file:- Process = Yes Realtime = No FTP = Yes (unless you are local ~~hosing~~hosting) 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 ~~page~~template, 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 ~~disable~~remove it ~~again~~from 'files' tab table.'' 5. 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) 6. If you do not require the UV/Solar Index gauges, then change the lines showSolarGauge  : false, 7. IfFTP ~~you~~the ~~are~~folders ~~installing~~'css' toand a'scripts' ~~web~~and ~~folder~~their ~~different~~contents ~~from~~(the ~~your~~files ~~Cumulus~~that ~~'root'~~are oncontained ~~your~~in ~~web~~the ~~server,~~ZIP ~~you~~file) ~~will~~from ~~also~~your ~~need~~PC to ~~edit~~ the folder where your "gauges-ss.htm" file, ~~and~~is ~~amend~~located (probably the ~~relative~~same ~~path~~folder towhere all your other Cumulus ~~"weatherstyle.css"~~HTM ~~file~~files are located) on your web server. 98. Test the page.▼ 8. FTP the folders 'css' and 'scripts' and their contents (the files that are contained in the ZIP file) from your PC to the folder where your "gauges-ss.htm" file is located (probably the same folder where all your other Cumulus HTM files are located) on your web server. ▲9. Test the page. === 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? == = Downloads = The code for the gauges ~~can~~is benow ~~downloaded~~on ~~from~~GitHub, ~~here:~~it can be [~~http~~https://~~wiki.sandaysoft~~github.com/~~files~~mcrossley/~~Steelseries/gauges~~SteelSeries-ssWeather-~~v2-4-4.zip~~Gauges/ ~~Download~~viewed here]. The gauges package can be downloaded from here: [https://github.com/mcrossley/SteelSeries-Weather-Gauges/archive/master.zip Download here]. = Release History = The latest version of the gauges is 2.47.42, a full version history can be [[SteelSeries_Versions\|found here]].
