HelioHost Posted October 16, 2023 Author Posted October 16, 2023 I changed the directory to: /home/admin/web/wa2uetwx.heliohost.us/public_html The directory listing shows up in the window but it is not being updated. It seems like if I can see the directory listing I must be in the right place. Not sure why it is not being updated. Stan Engel, WA2UET Ghent, NY
HelioHost Posted October 16, 2023 Author Posted October 16, 2023 Are the files still going to /home/wa2uet/ ? If so then there is something going on here that I cannot figure out so far.

HelioHost Posted October 16, 2023 Author Posted October 16, 2023 The address I am using to access my website is "wa2uet-weather.com" Has this changed somehow? It opens the web site but the date is still 9/29/23. I also tried using the directory "/web/wa2uetwx.heliohost.us/public_html" that also showed a directory listing but did not update.

Krydos Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Yeah, the files are still going to /home/wa2uet/ but it's alright, I just symlinked /home/admin/web/wa2uetwx.heliohost.us/public_html/ to /home/wa2uet/ so you can continue uploading the files to this new directory. If you take a look at https://wa2uet-weather.com/ now it shows October 16th data.
HelioHost Posted October 16, 2023 Author Posted October 16, 2023 Well I don't understand that because I don't even see that directory. But thanks. Now I can rearrange the page to my liking. How can I access the site code to add some information etc.? Stan Engel, WA2UET Ghent, NY
Krydos Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 I found this manual which I think is for your weather station https://p10.secure.hostingprod.com/@site.ambientweatherstore.com/ssl/vws/vwsmanual.PDF Section 8.12 describes how to change the template 8.12 Web Page Templates Your software was shipped with several HTML templates. To view these templates, select Weather Website Builder from the Internet Menu, and select one of the Web Page Templates. You should be able to customize the way the page looks with those instructions.
HelioHost Posted October 16, 2023 Author Posted October 16, 2023 Thanks, I will check this out. But be aware, Ambient no longer exists, so if anything requires contacting them it won't work. Much appreciated! Stan Engel, WA2UET Ghent, NY
HelioHost Posted October 22, 2023 Author Posted October 22, 2023 How do I access the code for my page so I can add to it? I don't remember. Thanks Stan Engel, WA2UET Ghent, NY
Krydos Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 You can upload new code using the same SFTP credentials that you're using to upload the weather images. One of the most popular SFTP clients is Filezilla, and you can install that on Windows.
HelioHost Posted October 31, 2023 Author Posted October 31, 2023 I installed that "filezilla" app and can view the files that are on the site but I don't see a way to access and edit the actual code. What am I missing? Stan Engel, WA2UET Ghent, NY
Krydos Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 You can edit the code on your local computer, and then upload the modified files with Filezilla. As far as editing goes you can just something as simple as Notepad, or as fancy as something like Visual Studio Code. Both are free, but the latter is an editor specifically designed for editing code, such as HTML, and a lot of other types of code as well. Notepad is just an extremely simple editor that can get the job done if you don't have anything else. I recommend NOT using Wordpad, or Microsoft Word or an editor like that because they might not handle html well or might add strange symbols, etc. Let us know if you have any other questions or need more help.
HelioHost Posted October 31, 2023 Author Posted October 31, 2023 I really appreciate your help, but I have forgotten how to access this code. I have done this before but my mind is a blank. I can view "Page Source" of course but I don't have access to it. Stan Engel, WA2UET Ghent, NY
HelioHost Posted October 31, 2023 Author Posted October 31, 2023 Never mind, I think I found the file. Thanks again.

HelioHost Posted November 1, 2023 Author Posted November 1, 2023 I am not sure how much you can help, but I will see. On my web site, wa2uet-weather.com I have a logo up in the top left corner and another RVW logo in the center below it. Is there a way to have them both on the same level? I don't see a code to move the RVW logo down. But I am very green at this.

Krydos Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 I took a look at https://wa2uet-weather.com/ and I don't see any logos in the top left corner. There are two broken images for ambient weather up there, but like you said earlier it's because they went out of business so their domain isn't working anymore. Is there some subpage I need to go to?
