: VWS AllTags Templates

VWS AllTags is a simple tagged solution to make all existing VWS tags available on any page of your web site. It includes a VWS template (.htx) that you add to your html settings list of VWS and publish (ftp) to your web server. Every VWS value is then available in ASP/PHP/JavaScript variables that you can easily included on any web page of your site. Your benefit is that you have to upload only one file instead of creating and uploading single htx files for every web page you need your VWS data on. Not to mention that in VWS only 15 htx files are possible to convert.
In addition, VWS AllTags converts all Imperial values in Metric values if applicable
(e.g. 67°F --> 19.5°C, or 12mph --> 19.3km/h, or 6/22/03 --> 22.6.03, or 4:15pm --> 16:15) and provides additional values like month, year, yesterday's date, and VWS AllTags Version.

Here is how it works in ASP, PHP, JavaScript:

Preparing your Virtual Weather Station software to publish the ASP AllTags file:

1. Download and unzip the vwsalltags.htx file of your choice.

2. Copy the vwsalltags.htx file to your /vws/templates folder.

3. Open your VWS program and go to [Internet][HTML Settings] from the menu bar.

4. Click [Browse] on an empty Template row and select the vwsalltags.htx file in your /vws/templates folder.

5. Click [Browse] on the HTML Filename row next to the selected vwsalltags.htx template file and select your web server upload folder and create a new file called vwsalltags.asp. If you don't have an upload folder already, simply publish the file anywhere you want and set FTP Sent (Upload) File accordingly. Make sure the created vwsalltags.asp file will be uploaded to your web server.

Preparing your web pages to show the published data of the ASP AllTags file:

6. All your web pages you like to include the AllTags file have to be ASP pages with .asp extension. Open your ASP page in any html editor or text editor and add the following line of code at the top of your page to include the vwsalltags.asp file (replace [path] with your path to this file, e.g. /folder/subfolder or delete if the file is in your root):

7. Depending which VWS AllTags template you use (Imperial, Metric, both) you can add the following variables (tags) to your ASP page to view the according VWS value. Replace xxXXX with the corresponding VWS vxxXXX tag without leading v. Add a leading z for Imperial values or a leading c for Metric values. Have a look into the vwsalltags.htx template for a tag reference:

For Imperial values:	`<%=zxxXXX%>`
For Metric values:	`<%=cxxXXX%>`

Example:

<p>Temperature: <%=zxv007%>°F (<%=cxv007%>°C)<br> Wind Speed: <%=zxv002%>mph (<%=cxv002%>km/h)</p>
