You need some understanding of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to do this, but all you need to do is to edit the relevant style sheet in '''\CumulusMX\interface\css'''. | You need some understanding of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to do this, but all you need to do is to edit the relevant style sheet in '''\CumulusMX\interface\css'''. | ||
== Changing Settings == | |||
This is done using the MX "user interface", you will see that '''Settings''' is the penultimate option in the navigation bar, and it has a drop down for the various settings screens that are now described. | |||
=== Station Settings === | |||
Each setting has a hint beside it (with a small 'i' for information before each hint). If you have used [[Cumulus_Screenshots#Station|Cumulus 1]], the layout and section headings will be familiar. Like all the settings pages, the headings are collapsed and need to be clicked to see the items under them. The table [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station|here]] will explain how MX stores the selections you make here, and give a bit more detail about each item and the values it can take. | |||
=== Internet Settings === | |||
This has a lot of similarities with the [[Cumulus_Screenshots#Sites.2FOptions_Tab|Cumulus 1 settings]]. Again there are hints, MX has more options than Cumulus 1 had, and some defaults are different in the two flavours. | |||
=== Extra Web Files === | |||
This is an extension of the Cumulus 1 facility, that is explained for both Cumulus flavours [[Customised_templates#What_to_select_on_the_.27Files.27_tab_of_the_Internet_Settings_screen_within_the_.27Configuration.27_menu|here]], it has an extra "end of day" option (leave "realtime" column blank if you tick the new column), but otherwise you fill it out exactly the same way. If you have moved from Cumulus 1, you might need to: | |||
# change some paths in local column | |||
# edit some templates where the process column is ticked because of [[Webtags|Web tags differences]]. | |||
=== Calibration settings === | |||
This is identical to [[Cumulus_Screenshots#Calibration|Cumulus 1]] functionality, already explained elsewhere in this wiki. | |||
=== NOAA report settings === | |||
This is identical to Cumulus 1 functionality, already explained [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_NOAA|elsewhere]] in this wiki. | |||
=== MySQL settings === | |||
This is new. <big>THIS SECTION NEEDS TO BE WRITTEN - WILL YOU VOLUNTEER ???</big> | |||
=== Alarms === | |||
This is identical to Cumulus 1 functionality, apart from their is a new default location for the files "\CumulusMX\interface\sounds", already explained [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Alarms|elsewhere]] in this wiki. | |||
=== FTP Now === | |||
This is similar to the option in Cumulus 1 to do an update now. | |||
