version dashticz Topic is solved

[pvklink]

Hi,

My dashticz gives 2.5.11 in the info tab, and a remark that this is the latest version.
On the internet i see a more recent version, beta 3.05, https://github.com/Dashticz/dashticz.

Is the 3 version another fork, and if so, are both versions supported and updated?
Can i do a fresh install of the 3.05 , and copy my current custom.js, custom.css and config.js ?

Version 3 is the new version. The fork was at an other address, but is now at the old address.
For fresh install:
1st make a backup of your custom folder. Remove that folder if named dashticz. You then can do the install in a new folder dashticz:

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/Dashticz/dashticz dashticz --branch beta

The latest beta is then gonna be installed in the folder dashticz. After that copy your own custom folder to the new dashticz folder.
To update just do the following in the dashticz folder to update:

Code: Select all

git pull

ok thanks HansiNL, i will update with the latest beta...

[pvklink]

Ok, installed latest beta and removed old dashticz_v2 folder.
I get an error when i want to remove the old symbolic link that the folder does not exist... (it does exist!)

sudo unlink /var/www/html/dashticz_v2 or
sudo rm /var/www/html/dashticz_v2

Ok, installed latest beta and removed old dashticz_v2 folder.
I get an error when i start dashticz, so i renamed the dashticz folder to dashticz_v2 and working!

I think it is easier to have no version in the folder name so is this the way to do it?:
1) rename the folder back to dashticz
2) sudo ln -s /home/pi/dashticz/ /var/www/html
3) how do i remove the old sudo ln -s /home/pi/dashticz_v2/ /var/www/html symbolic link ?

Yes, that will work.

For 3:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/www/html/dashticz_v2

everything works! thanks!

have two small errors with the latest version

1. my buienradar does not work anymore... i had a live screen at my dashboard (without a click)

buttons.buienradar = {width:9, isimage:true, refreshimage:60000, image: 'http://api.buienradar.nl/image/1.0/Rada ... =338&h=297', url: 'http://www.weer.nl/verwachting/nederland/son/189656/'}

2. in the old version i had a blinds_closed.png changed in yellow in the /img folder. I changed it again but dashticz keeps on showing the old png also after a f5

For 1:
Which buienradar link do you use? In a button or in a frame? buienradar changed something which blocks showing their site in a frame.

for 2:
I recommend to save the new image with a new name, and use the recently added imageOff (or imageOn) parameter to select your new image.

1. Hi lokonli, i use the link in a button but any other solution or better solution is welcome...
i sometimes see nice koloms with days with a forecats

2. ok clear, will try that!
can dis be a png file and do i put this in the img folder?

[pvklink]

I tried, but my block stays empty

added:
//Configuring the OWM parameters
config['owm_api'] = 'my new api key';
config['owm_city'] = 'Rijswijk';
config['owm_name'] = '';
config['owm_country'] = 'nl';
config['owm_lang'] = 'nl';
config['owm_cnt'] = '3';
config['owm_min'] = true;
config['owm_days'] = true;

changed my column

var columns = {}
columns[1] = {}
columns[1]['blocks'] = [3,1248,1423,1303,1049,1018,1025,'currentweather_big_owm','weather_owm','455_1','982_1','457_1',1163,1285,1305,1250,calendars.fam]
columns[1]['width'] = 3;
etc.

If you wanna keep your own images in the custom folder you can make a sub folder named img if you like. In the block section you then can use ../custom/img/image.png.
Yes, best is to use a png.

ok, both problems solved as you advised!
thanks lokonli!

it took some time before the api was operational...

Last one little problem, there are 2 Rijswijk in Holland.
The config setting only offers city name.
I think city ID is in my case a better option, because i get the wrong Rijswijk and cant adjust it...

see the city list on the website of own

[EdwinK]

There are even three Rijswijk's (South Holland, Brabant, Gelre)

[pvklink]

Yes, indeed!

I see Open Weather Map Station (City or Code) in the config menu. Did you already try to fill in your city code?

[pvklink]

config['owm_city'] = 'Rijswijk'; works
config['owm_city'] = '2748075'; not
config['owm_city'] = 2748075; not

[HansieNL]

config['owm_city'] = 'Rijswijk'; works
config['owm_city'] = '2748075'; not
config['owm_city'] = 2748075; not

Bug reported: https://github.com/Dashticz/dashticz/issues/35

[pvklink]

I saw that the bug was solved in a new beta
so i did a git pull....
do i use the location id as following:

instead off
config['owm_city'] = 'Rijswijk';

i use:

config['owm_city'] = 2748075;
config['owm_name'] = 'Rijswijk (zh)';

[Lokonli]

Yes, that should work
