What makes up the package
The following tools are used to create this system:
- Boltwire Wiki
- Cumulus Weather Software
- Cumulus Silverlight Realtime
- TNET Boltwire Cumulus Plugin
- TNET Boltwire GoogleiCal Plugin
- TNET Cumulus JpGraph Graphs
- TNET Cumulus RealTimeLog
- TNET Cumulus Thermometer
- TNET Cumulus Webtag system with extended variables
- Collection of new log files based on webtag info also rotated and maintained monthly for extended reports.
- TNET (SFS) Stop Forum Spam Boltwire Plugin
- Logfile rotation with extended logfile support
- Lytebox Image Manager
- TNET Boltwire Pseudo-cron Plugin (Based on v1.3)
When complete, the user of the website can use the wiki system to expand the site to add more pages and features. Update traffic is light since only the realtime.txt file needs to be sent to the website on a regular basis.
Charts, history and other data is all collected from those realtime.txt file updates.
Installation Support
TNET Services will be providing a paid installation support option to those that want to have their site installed and configured for them. More details coming soon.
