# A working example of the original Annual Weather Data Summary Ver 1.2. November 2012 Script by David Jamieson (PHP variant), is [http://www.fordingbridgeweather.co.uk/datasummary.php here]; note that example uses a different carrier page (see below) from the Weather Blue set of Alternative Templates available from the French only site [http://meteoduquebec.com/ Météo du Québec] and the international site [http://weatherbyyou.com/demo.php <strong>Weather</strong> <small>by</small>_You].

# This article is called '''Daily Summary''' as it summarises scripts that various authors have contributed that take as their source daily statistics output from Cumulus

# The scripts mentioned below range quite widely:

* Some are direct descendants of David Jamieson's original idea, in that they read the ''[[dayfile.txt|daily summary]]'' log file that Cumulus creates, and produce an output that looks like a calendar with months heading the columns and one row per day of the month while the internal content shows how a selected statistic varies from one day to another

The instructions in [[AnnualDataSummary| David's original]] article for PHP version still apply, so these are repeated below in a simplified manner. The files in the zip include additional notes, and explanations on the changes made in the update, where relevant.

 

*#'''readDayfile.php''' - script for reading the dayfile.txt and for creating the table structure that displays selected statistics in a calendar style

*#'''datasummary.php''' - example 'carrier' web page, this one uses the Saratoga template system, so also requires 2 more scripts (not provided) ''Settings.php'' and ''common.php''. You can use your own page instead of this file - see [[#Creating_your_own_Carrier_Page|carrier page customisation]] below.

The above code uses jQuery to output a table showing all the statistics from the database, note that any column containing values can be clicked upon and the table will be resorted by those values, but any column containing time-stamps has the sorting set to false, so you cannot pick them. The column names used above are from the schema by David Jamieson, as used by Cumulus MX.
