== Summary ==
A set of templates to be processed by Cumulus at different frequencies (once for static file, at realtime, standard interval and end of day as identified by file name), assigning web tags to PHP variables.


Please read the announcement for the latest MX release in [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17887 the forum] before installing it.
For more information see [[Php_webtags|Php web tags page]] that describes the background to these templates and how to set up the process and upload at different intervals.


We strongly advise updating to the latest version, if only for the fact that later versions offer more functionality, and may fix any bugs in an earlier

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Cumulus 1 or MX, please read all of the release notes (in the appropriate forum announcement
All these files have been designed to work with both Cumulus 1 and MX (except web_tags_MXRCreal_timeT.cum which only works with version 3.5.4 and later); to the extent that is possible. However, Cumulus 1 does not have option to process at end of day, so what I did was process "web_tags_EOD_T.cum" file at real time interval, saving it into data folder, and upload to web site from data folder at end of day with the dayfile.txt upload; it may muck up the dates, but the weather derivatives are set correctly.
