RESOLVED - cant add new graph to weewex Seasons
BaseLine:
I was planning to add a new graph to Seasons skin and edited the skins.conf by uncommenting the example:
--- Code: ---# [[[yearhilow]]]
# [[[[hi]]]]
# data_type = outTemp
# aggregate_type = max
# label = High
# [[[[low]]]]
# data_type = outTemp
# aggregate_type = min
# label = Low Temperature
--- End code ---
Nothing.
* I restarted weewx - nothing. No errors in the log
* cleared out browsers cache - nothing
* I deleted everything from /html - it was regenerated as expected but no new graph.
* I even updated to new version of weewex :) - nothing I am out of ideas.

I'll see if I can mess you up again.
Here is what I have, you can delete the freeze line of course:
--- Code: --- # Plot of high/low outdoor temperatures
[[[yearhilow]]]
[[[[freezeLine]]]]
data_type = 32
label = ' '
color = 0x42b442
[[[[hi]]]]
data_type = highOutTemp
aggregate_type = max
label = High Outside Temperature
color = 0x4242b4
[[[[low]]]]
data_type = lowOutTemp
aggregate_type = min
label = Low Outside Temperature
color = 0xb48242
--- End code ---
This is my result:

But as I recall I also had to add the columns highOutTemp and lowOutTemp to the database as I read from the archives instead of loop on my VP and have a fairly long archive interval and would otherwise miss some highs and lows, so as I say, I may be messing you up again. I don't know why the example isn't working.

Maybe try adding this in the appropriate place in the "index.html" file for the Seasons skin:
--- Code: --- <img src="yearhilow.png" alt="$obs.label.hilowTemp" />
--- End code ---

There is absolutely no need to screw around with index.html. It's a generated file and is based on skin templates etc.
Took a closer look of the skin.conf file and found this interesting and undocumented (in customizing.htm) configuration option:
plot_groups =
Added my "hilow" to it and that was it.
No idea how I missed this in the first place. Wasted like an hour on this. LOL.

Interesting. There is no plot_groups = in my skin.conf. It appears to have been added later as I chose to keep my current file through upgrades.
Whatever I did worked for me, and has lasted through upgrades. I've also reordered the graphs, among other things.
So I'll screw around with what a want to. I've learned from the docs, experimentation, and sometimes from reading the WeeWX users group, and yes, sometimes it's taken me some time.
