Please make sure you backup your template prior to any major update, none of my updates should have any negative effects on anyone's site, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. If you aren't particularly familiar with computers or websites and aren't sure how to backup your site, just create a copy if it in a new folder (ie: 'cp -r ./pws ./pws.bak' if you're on a Linux server. Post here or email me at support@lightmaster.pw if you ever need help. I just pushed out a fix to the Wind Module that changes the left speed to be the current wind speed as of when your MB last sent data to your site, and the right speed is now actually reading the gust speed. Previously, gust speed had been the instantaneous speed, now it is the max speed within the last 10 minutes as per NOAA/NWS standards. The chart for hourly wind will look a bit different from here on out, with the gust part always being above the average speed, unless there's been no wind at all for a 10 min interval, since the max can never be below the average.
To update, if you use git just a normal pull using 'git pull' should work. If you manually update individual files, you'll need to replace 'livedata.php', 'mbridge/mb.php', and 'windspeeddirection.php'.
There have also been a number of small changes in the last week or so, so if you don't update regularly with git, check the
commit history to see what you missed.
Tonight or tomorrow, I'll be updating the charts to auto adjust the axis markers so you don't have so many labels on the side that you can't read the numbers (like when your temp decides to change by 40 degrees in a single day
), and some of the graphs will become line graphs to make them look better (like the gusts part of the wind graph). Also, unless anyone has an objection, I'm gonna turn on the animations on the charts. Shouldn't effect anyone server performance, and makes them load a bit nicer.
