Hi,

with this new version of cacti I would like to ask about an old bug reported by me #0000855. I still use 0.8.6g because that faulty graf generation. The bugreport's status is still new

Is anybody dealing with this problem? Is there any chance to solve this?

Thank you,

Kope

It's a minor issue and hasn't been assigned. I'm currently in the process of reviewing open bugs and attempting to assign them to be fixed in 0.8.7 or later version.

Minor bugs are not a high priority, this particular one is an annoyance.

Hi

I'm still seeing the same weird graph template behavior in beta2. Should I file a specific bug report?

Um...

Can you email me your a saved copy of the System Utilities -> Tech Support Output screen?

This will answer a majority of my initial questions, then I may have more before I ask you to submit a bug.

[mvam]

i've sent a plain text copy to your email listed here on the forum.

Plugin Architecture 2.0 ? Will cacti-plugin-0.8.6k-beta2-v1.2.zip work with 0.8.7 ?

Probably not....

Most file will patch, but you might have some chunk failures.

Have you reloaded the database? From when you where testing Beta 1?

No, I haven't.

Please reload, your database is in a bad state from the previous bug.

Let me know what you are seeing after that.

[mvam]

That did the trick, thanks!

It will be backported per our roadmap for the implemention of a new templating methodology. If you review the roadmap, you will see the templating changes covered. Rony can point you to that post.
