Great stuff!!

To the moderators...     Is there a way you can set up a space for user defined widgets with the instructions Andi has set out for those wanting to install them?

This would be a great benefit to the community as a whole.

Maybe on the header row above as a new section under emoncms, e.g. 'user defined widgets'. You could add the Compass, Windrose etc. into there.

You produce the information, I shall check it and edit it into usable documentation, and we can then find a place for it. But unless and until the developers devote a little more time to the perspiration bit and less to the inspiration, it won't happen.

Good and accurate documentation is absolutely essential, and producing it is not time wasted, it will actually save time by reducing the workload in providing support on the forums, and it will lead to fewer disgruntled customers.

(If you don't understand, I'm referring to the comment that is attributed to Edison: "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration")

Hi firefox, try to make the modules self contained to this folders :

\Modules\your_module_name\widget\
or
\Modules\dashboard\widget\your_widget_name\

Both formats are supported.

That widget.css outside of widget folder breaks modularization support because requires manual changes..

Nice work anyway.

Hi Chaveiro

You're right maybe better to have the images directly mentioned in the widget code. I made it that way because css code is always easier to edit for others than js code :-) 

I will have a look on how to integrate them to make installation more easy....

My initial intention actually was to have like a glow effect which fills out the whole panel area and gets brighter with more power and darker with less. Does someone of the pro devs maybe have a good idea on how to that? At the moment it's just a "copy" of the bar widget with additional background img and global alpha setting :-)

Thanks
Andi

I now have edited them to be independent

- Vertical PV Widget

- Horizontal PV Widget

Is it possible that someone can test them if they are working? Seems to be ok for my installation.

So copy the folders into the widget folder should be enough to run them now.

Thanks
Andi

OK Robert I'll give it a go. Might be a day or two....

just as an fyi, I noted in a post that the latest installation guides for 9.2 in the post from Paul were pointing to a 404.  Even worse if you go to te menu bar above and look at emoncms/installation guides then this throws a 404 as well!!

hallo, congratulations for the setup, i would like to know what hardware you are using for logging, expecially on the weather station side.

This post has only just appeared! The 404 has been cured now.

That gives me a bit of grace with my couple of days promise.

Although I had noticed that another post I had made seemed to have disappeared. the one above I could see btw. So maybe there's something a bit fishy about the forum of late??

ive just installed it on a emoncms9.3 install on a Pi,

I had to edit the line .backgroundPVH.src = path+'Modules/dashboard/widget/pvhorizontal/pv-panel-h2.png'; to backgroundPVH.src = path+'Modules/vis/widget/pvhorizontal/pv-panel-h2.png';

The location of the widgets must have changed. Works great, nice work Andi.
