The Seasons skin "autoprovisions", which means that if there is
any recent data for an observation type, it is automatically
included in `current.inc`, using a standard format.
In your case, you want to customize outTemp, so you will have to
remove it from the autoprovisioning list, then include it
manually. Here's how to do this.
In the Season's skin.conf, you will see an option called
`observations_current`. It looks something like this:
* observations_current = outTemp, heatindex, windchill, ...
*
Remove `outTemp`, so it looks like this:
* observations_current = heatindex, windchill, ...
*
Now go into `current.inc` and add it back in. Look for this code.
*#for $x in $observations
#if $getVar('year.%s.has_data' % $x)
#if $x == 'barometer'
<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.barometer</td>
<td class="data">$current.barometer
($trend.barometer.formatted)</td>
</tr>
*
* #elif $x == 'windSpeed'
*
* ...*
Note how it has a special case for 'barometer', 'windSpeed' and
other observation types. You want to do something similar for
'outTemp'. When you're done, it will look something like this:
*#for $x in $observations
#if $getVar('year.%s.has_data' % $x)
#if $x == 'barometer'
<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.barometer</td>
<td class="data">$current.barometer
($trend.barometer.formatted)</td>
</tr>
# elif $x == 'outTemp'
*
*<tr>
*
<td class="label">$obs.label.outTemp</td>
<td class="data">$current.outTemp
(∆$trend(time_delta=86400).outTemp.format("%+.1f"))</td></td>
</tr>
# elif $x == 'windSpeed'
* ...
*
**
You've manually added specialized formatting for outTemp.
Do something similar for any other variables you want to customize
Hope that helps.

I have run 4.5.1 for some time, and had gotten suggestions on
how to
modify the formating of one of the Current area statements,
along with
adding two pieces of information which are generating from
the data
base, but have no formal definition or schema name, to wit:
4.5.1, which shows:
Outside Temperature 35.0°F (∆ +1.2°F)
Heat Index 35.0°F
Wind Chill 35.0°F
Dew Point 32.6°F
Humidity 91%
Barometer 29.481 inHg (-0.060 in)
Wind 0 mph N/A ( N/A)
Rain Rate 0.00 in/h
Rain Today 0.00 in
Rainfall Yesterday 0.00 in
Last Rain 06/18/2022 05:00:00 PM
286 days, 4 hours, 25 minutes ago
Inside Temperature 67.0°F
which shows the out temp as compared to yesterday at this
time and the
formatted delta sign, along with the Rainfall yesterday and
last rain
line along with another line saying how long ago that was.
These are the html generating statements to get that display
<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.outTemp</td>
<td class="data">$current.outTemp (∆
$trend(time_delta=86400).outTemp.format("%+.1f"))</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.heatindex</td>
<td class="data">$current.heatindex</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.windchill</td>
<td class="data">$current.windchill</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.dewpoint</td>
<td class="data">$current.dewpoint</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.outHumidity</td>
<td class="data">$current.outHumidity</td>

<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.barometer</td>
<td class="data">$current.barometer

in)</td>

<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.wind</td>
<td class="data">$current.windSpeed
$current.windDir.ordinal_compass ($current.windDir)</td>

<td class="data">$current.rainRate</td>

<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.Rainfall Yesterday</td>
<td class="data">$day($days_ago=1).rain.sum</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.Last Rain</td>
<td
class="data">$time_at('rain>0')<br/>$time_since('rain>0')

</tr>
Question:
Is it possible to have 4.9.1 generate the similar current
conditions as
I was in 4.5.1?
I have looked at the current.inc and there are no obvious
places to
insert that code, to my eye. The list of observations is cycled
through, but I cannot see where to insert the formatting for
the delta
character, nor since the values for yesterday's rain do not
actually
exist as a value in the data base (it is calculated with a
sum function,
nor extracting the date of last rain, or the calculated time
since last
rain also are not hard values in the data base, I'm confused
as to how
to control the generation of those values, and to exercise
control of
where in the list of current conditions those can be placed.
I have looked in the Seasons directory, at the current.inc
and also the
skins.conf for that directory and find a lot of formatting
for the
PLOTS, I don't find any areas that look like it should
control the
textual information along the left side.
If I've not confused you, can you provide some guidance as to
where I
need to look to control the formatting, where to add the
statements and
choose order of appearance ?
I think I have read the customization and user guide a couple
times
looking for information there and learn something new each
time, but
haven't found this particular guidance.
Thank you. Dale
