i think what this is bug. because i don't need 120 graphs i need only eight.
I add special report tree because i need fast look graphs with identical parametrs, but when i created pdf i see in pdf report another graphs, but they not exists in some tree report.

hm, i though I fixed that bug ( graphs showing up in PDF report from other trees ) in v0.3a... need to check this

Below is a screenshot for a new feature in one of the next versions.
It enables the users to limit the reports to the page displayed, and also enables the user to change some of the report settings for the page displayed.

When selecting the PDF icon on a graph tree page, i get unable to connect to MYSQL on localhost......

have i missed out a step? i have added both plugin directories under the cacti\plugin folder. installed and enabled them in cacti. replaced the htmlgraph.php with the 8.7b.

Thanks

the plugin tries to retrieve the database settings from the config.php file, do you have that and is there some valid data in there ?

Yes under the cacti\include directory is the config.php with the correct mysql settings. This is a iis / windows box if that makes a difference?

Thanks

ok. I need to check this out this evening. Did you use the cacti windows installer ?

Dwayne_Dibbley · Post by **Dwayne_Dibbley** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 5:29 am

To do the original install back in November 2008. but each cacti upgrade has been run as per the readme ie backup DB, rename old cacti folder etc. I have upgraded to 8.7.d with plugin 2.4 but still same result.

the only obvious thing that is different is the MYSQL instance runs on port 3406, do you read the database port info as well from the config.php?

Thanks

phalek · Post by **phalek** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 4:25 pm

yep, i didn't use the port. thanks for pointing this out.

I uploaded v0.3a Update 3. That version also includes a feature from the upcoming v0.4 where the users can select the report format (paper size, column format etc.) directly from the graph view page (see screenshot some posts earlier)

As usual go to:

to download the files

Bingo all working now with the non standard mysql port. Thanks. Will it be possible to choose the fonts sizes? only some of our graph titles are longer than the graph image so get cut off.

I can do that, yes. The next version will have that feature.

Update 4 will be around soon with the font size changeable in the settings and user panel:
