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.

#In case of problems there exists a [[Cumulusutils logfile]]. In case of problems you can check for yourself or ask on the forum with the log file as attachment. All logfiles are to be found in the directory utils/utilslog/ - which is automatically created if it does not exist - and they will have the name: ''yyMMddHHmmcumulusutils.log'' which sorts easily alphabetically. So that would be e.g. 2005271332cumulusutils.log. This gives the possibility to run CumulusUtils many times per day and if you find a problem later in one of the major runs at midnight, you still have that log. Logs will be kept for 2 days, giving you enough time to save the log you want to save. Errorlogging is governed by two inifile parameters: ''NormalMessageToConsole'' and ''TraceInfoLevel''. See the page on [[Cumulusutils.ini|''cumulusutils.ini'']]. | #In case of problems there exists a [[Cumulusutils logfile]].
