I give up... :-)
« on: August 31, 2017, 12:57:56 PM »
I'm working on Ken's template so that I can use it at several schools I'm supporting, and I'm trying to figure out where the default setting is for "uom", the one that sets IMPERIAL or METRIC. My eyes are now crossed after looking so long. :-)

Did you look at Settings.php line 144

Code: [Select]
$SITE['uomTemp'] = '°F';  // ='°C', ='°F'
$SITE['uomBaro'] = ' inHg';    // =' hPa', =' mb', =' inHg'
$SITE['uomWind'] = ' mph';   // =' km/h', =' kts', =' m/s', =' mph'
$SITE['uomRain'] = ' in';     // =' mm', =' in'
$SITE['uomSnow'] = ' in';     // =' cm', =' in'
$SITE['uomDistance'] = ' miles';  // or ' km' -- used for Wind Run display
$SITE['uomPerHour'] = '/hr';
//

All of that is set correctly for IMPERIAL. I can click on IMPERIAL and it all changes from metric to US, I just can't find the global setting to make it come up as IMPERIAL as the default.

The template (PHP parts) expect to work in only ONE system (Metric or Imperial) and the Settings.php entries reflect that.  The PHP part of the template does not convert from one to another system.  It expects the tags php file to use the units specified in Settings.php for the weather software.

If you use the Alternative Dashboard from Burnsville, it is the ajaxWDwx3.js JavaScript that performs the automatic swap from Metric to Imperial.

That's what I needed! I found it in the ajaxWDwx3.js file. Thanks Ken! Awesome as always!
