This is an updated version of the original web page (quick view) builder released in 2007. It has been my most popular download with nearly 700 downloads to date!
This is a summary of the changes from Version 1:
To recap what this package does:
There are many Homeseer users who want to display virtual devices, text and images in a web page but do not have the necessary web or programming skills to do so.
What I have done here is to get Homeseer generate a typical "Quickview" or System status web page by means of an ini file which requires no web or programming skills whatsoever (common sense though essential!). Numerous pages can be generated in this way by use of their own ini file. Pages generated do not have to show status and can be used to display just images or anything else that you like within the package constraints.
Because of the inclusion of control buttons, you can now make simple pages to view and control Homeseer from any browser such as iPaqs & mobile phones.
There are numerous options available including the number of columns generated, sub columns, spacing, headings, sub headings, button size, table classes used, image size etc to generate a page which is unique to you.
The image below shows how you can build up a typical quick view page with the package. A column is built up of blocks (indicated by the red and blue dotted lines ) and normally consists of a heading ( and optional sub-heading) followed by the information being displayed. Headings can be hidden and you can use one, two or all three sub headings.
Because of the flexibility of this package, configuration of the ini file may take some time.
Full documentation is included to assist you in building your own pages.
If you generate a page which you think is good, please post it here.
As always, it's available to download from my site (click on the banner below) Please let me know how you get on with this.
This is a summary of the changes from Version 1:

- The majority of existing ini files should work and look the same as before without changes
