Weather Page Template ???
Where is the weather page template? I can't seem to find it if there is one... or do I have to create it from scratch? And how do I add the RSS info... been doing the RTFM but cannot find this info.
Thanks for any help! Paul B.

Inappropriate?Paul,
The Weather and RSS templates are located on the dynamic tab (Main Menu:New Bulletin:Dynamic: Weather or RSS. Here is the link to the manual outlining dynamic bulletins:

Jennifer -- how does the RSS info get injected into the template -- are there firewall settings to consider? I cannot see any change in the data...
Thanks, Paul B. -
Inappropriate?To be clear, there are Weather bulletins, and there are RSS bulletins, and they don't really intermix. You can't put RSS data in a Weather bulletin, and you can't put weather data in an RSS bulletin (well, unless the RSS feed that you're subscribing to happens to contain weather information).
Both Weather and RSS bulletins can be found on the Dynamic tab when creating a new bulletin. If you're not licensed for RSS bulletins, however, you won't see it listed on the Dynamic tab.

You can alter the Weather bulletin's template after you select it. You'll first be asked to upload new backgrounds to be used for various weather conditions (a snowy picture when it's snowing, etc). Then you'll be taken to a basic editor where you can edit simple properties for the various text blocks. From that screen, you can also take the bulletin into the full template editor and have access to all the editing options.

I hope this helps?

So why am I not seeing any content updates in the weather bulletin I created? All I see is the ## coding. Are there firewall settings to consider? Thanks, Paul B. -
Inappropriate?Hey Paul,
Ack, sorry, I missed your firewall question. Carousel uses the National Weather Service's FTP site to pull weather data, so you'll need to allow FTP access from the Carousel machine.
Does this help?
