The next version will contain the possibility to select the graphs to put on the PDF via a checkbox next to the graph.

I already have it implemented and running. stay tuned for more to come.

Have a look here for a flash screencast of it:

Graph Selection Feature

I was thinking on an improvement like this but without the checkboxs... and they are really a good idea!

I now got some performance improvements in place. Instead of the PDF creation for 4 graphs taking about 10 seconds, it's down to around 1 second.

It's also making use of boos's cached images to achieve this.

v0.3 will include this, together with landscape support and some other stuff.

Another new feature for v0.3:

Columnar display of graphs. Look at the attached screenshot of two sample PDF pages

Phalek,

I get

Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Dynamically loaded extensions aren't enabled in /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/nmidCreatePDF/createPDFReport.php on line 2
PHP script /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/nmidCreatePDF/createPDFReport.php is protected by SourceGuardian and requires the SourceGuardian loader ixed.5.2.lin. The SourceGuardian loader has not been installed, or is not installed correctly. Please visit the SourceGuardian php encoder site to download required loader.

Does this need SourceGuardian libs or have you included them ?

Hi,

Everything is included in the tgz.

You need to make sure that you have the following in your php.ini file:

Code: Select all

; Whether or not to enable the dl() function.  The dl() function does NOT work
; properly in multithreaded servers, such as IIS or Zeus, and is automatically
; disabled on them.
enable_dl = On

Enabled this in php.ini - same problem ?

Yes

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Error message is now slightly different

Code: Select all

Ok,

Download this file and extract it somewhere in your html root:

http://www.sourceguardian.com/ixeds/sg4 ... nstall.zip

then point your web-browser to it. It will tell you what you need to do to load the extension correctly. Seems like 5.2 may have some special reqs

Upcoming features in v0.4:

Feature #22: Add selection fields for pageSize, pageOrientation and reportFormat to tree view page
