Hi Karen,
It seems I'm still having trouble with this. I have attached a file showing
my modifications which you indicated as needed for the skyfield data to
appear of my standard weewx skin. However, it's very possible I did
something wrong.
I was working with my regular station (probably a dumb idea) which is weewx
5.3.1 on bookworm. I have listed my pip and python versions as they may be
a problem.
The "almanac" button appears as it should but doesn't find almanac.html
anywhere on the server so it's not being created.
I realized that the skymap extension was missing so I installed it. At this
point, weewx crashed looking for 'moonMonthSpan'. I have included the error
in my file.
I removed the skymap extension and reinstalled my backup versions of
(Standard) skin.conf and index.html.tmpl. All seems to be working
(grattans.org/wx) again.
If the attached file helps, please let me know. I can do a debug run of
weewx if you want. Having a low skill set in this area indicates that I've
probably done something stupid.
Don't waste a lot of time on this if you are busy. Many thanks again for
your help.
Bob
