Weather Summary Template
Follow these instructions to create a Current Weather Conditions web page.
This is a good example of a simple HTML template that uses weather tags but does not use data images or the Ticker Tape Java Applet.
Transfer Files to your weather station's "Templates" Sub-directory
1.	Using Windows Explorer or My Computer, open the WeatherLink program directory.  
•	The program directory is the directory that you specified during the installation of WeatherLink.
2.	Open the "Sample Templates" sub-directory. 
3.	Open the "Weather Summary" sub-directory. This directory contains all the files needed to create a Weather Summary web site. 
4.	Open your weather station’s "Templates" sub-directory. 
•	This is the destination directory for the template files we will copy in Step 5.
5.	Copy the files listed below from the "Weather Summary" sub-directory into your weather station’s "Templates" sub-directory. 
·	The files required for this template are:
Weather_Summary_xxxxx.htx
clouds.jpg
Davis Logo.jpg
xxxx is your station type
•	The Weather_Summary.htx file is a template file that contains current text data in tabular format. 
•	The clouds.jpg file contains the blue sky and clouds background image used by the template.
•	The Davis Logo.jpg file contains the Davis Instruments logo displayed at the bottom of the page.
Check Your Internet Configuration Settings
6.	Open WeatherLink. 
7.	If WeatherLink has more than one weather station installed, select the weather station you want to provide data for your web page.  
•	This should match the station selected above.
8.	Choose “NOAA Setup” from the Reports Menu.
In the City and State fields enter your city and state.
9.   Choose “Set Latitude/Longitude” from the Setup Menu.
Enter your latitude and longitude settings.  This will ensure your sunrise and sunset calculations are correct.
10.  Choose "Internet Settings" from the Setup Menu. 
11.	Choose "Internet Connection Settings".
•	Be sure your Internet Connection and FTP Settings are properly configured as directed in the Help Files. 
Configure a Local Path Test Sub-Directory
In the Local Path ("Path" in the "Internet Connection Settings" dialog box) create a "test" sub-directory to your weather station's "Templates" directory.
•	We will use the "Local Path" file transfer function to test your web page before uploading it to the internet.
12.	Click on the "Browse" button of the dialog box and then select your weather station's "Templates" directory. 
13.	Create a sub-directory called "test" by typing in "test\" at the end of your weather station directory. 
•	When you are finished, the local path should look something like "C:\WeatherLink5\weather\Templates\test\"
14.	Set "Local Transfer Enabled" to Yes (required). 
15.	Make sure "Internet Transfer Enabled" is set to No (recommended). 
Note:	Once you have determined the template displays correctly, you can set "Local Transfer Enabled" to OFF and set "Internet Transfer Enabled" to ON.
Configure Data Upload Profile 1
16.	On the Internet Settingsdialog box, click the "Configure" button for Data Upload Profile 1. 
17.	Set the Upload Frequency to "1 min." for testing purposes (recommended). 
Note:	After you have tested your template, we recommend using a 5-15 minute interval if you desire frequent updates to your web site. Use a 30 minute or longer upload frequencey if you don't require frequent updating of your web site weather information. 
18.	Use the default Offset Time of “12:03a” (optional). 
19.	Do not select "Download First". Download First is not used by the "Weather Summary" template (recommended). 
20.	Click on "Select Template Files" and select the following files to be uploaded from the Templates/ sub-directory of your weather station directory. 
•	Weather_Summary_xxxxx.htx  (where xxxxx is your station type)
•	Davis Logo.jpg
•	clouds.jpg (optional background image)
Note:	The files "Davis Logo.jpg" and "clouds.jpg" only need to be uploaded once. After the first upload they can be removed from the files to be uploaded list.
21.	After you have selected the template files to be uploaded, click "OK" to return to the Internet Settings dialog box. 
Note:	This Data Upload Profile does not use any Current Data Images or Historical Data Images.
22.	Click "OK" to finish the configuration for this template. 
Note:	This template does not use the Data Upload Profile 2 or the Data Upload Profile 3.
Test Your Web Page
23.	Watch the WeatherLink window on your computer for the "Upload Progress" dialog box to briefly appear. 
•	The "Upload Progress" dialog box indicates when your Weather Summary template file has been converted to a .htm file and transfered to the test directory.
24.	When the upload is finished, use Windows Explorer or My Computer to locate and open "Weather_Summary_xxxxx.htm".
•	The HTML file should open as the "Weather Summary" web page in your web browser.
•	If the page isn't displayed, make sure you have the correct settings in your Internet Connection Settings dialog box and in your Data Upload Profile dialog box.
•	If the page displays correctly, go on to the next step to finish putting your weather web page up on the Internet.
Put Your Weather Summary Web Page On the Internet:
25.	Open the Internet Settingsdialog box. 
26.	Set "Local Copy Enabled" to "Off".

28.	Set "Internet Transfer Enabled" to "On".
