plugin architecture patched but nowhere to be found in Cacti

[marianne.dherens]

Hi everybody !

config:

Operating System:windows XP
Webserver: Apache2.2
Cacti: 0.8.7d
MySQL: 5.0.77
PHP: 5.2.9
RRDTool (Cygwin or Win32 version): 1-2.15
Net-SNMP:5.4.2.1-1
Cygwin (cygwin1.dll version): 1.5.20
Plugin Architecture: on the way !

I patched cacti-plugin-0.8.7d-PA-v2.4.diff (version from: http://forums.cacti.net/download.php?id=16863) on cacti-0.8.7d working properly.

I had problems first for 2 files global_constants.php and html.php but with this new version, I had no problem with the patching:

Code: Select all

C:\apache\htdocs\cacti>patch -p1 -N --dry-run < c:\cacti2009\plugins\cacti-plugi
n-arch\cacti-plugin-0.8.7d-PA-v2.4.diff

patching file lib/rrd.php
patching file lib/variables.php
patching file plugins/index.php
patching file plugins.php
patching file poller.php
patching file user_admin.php
patching file utilities.php

So nothing new appear on the left side of the screen (plugin management in configuration) and nothing even under user management...

Can somebody help me to figure out what's wrong ?

Thanks a lot!

You need to import the pa.sql too, before the plugin management will appear.

I know I'm a newbie but how do I do that exactly ? I suppose there is a command line... I tried to copy/paste it in the cacti folder and then in the lib and include folders but no luck.

Although since I used the patch method I don't need to copy the folders contained into files-0.8.7d, do I ?

[Howie]

Code: Select all

mysql -uroot -p cacti < pa.sql

or use the import SQL option in phpMyAdmin, if you use that.

[marianne.dherens]

thanks for the command, I applied it and I got no error message. However still no plugin management link...

And if you go to User Admin.. and pick the admin user, do you have a new 'right' in there called something like 'manage plugins'?

[marianne.dherens]

no I don't. I have the same stuffs than before I installed the plugin architecture. And every box is checked.

[cacti4bigy]

I have the same exact issue.
Upgraded Cacti to 8.7d ( Worked fine w/o errors )
2.4 Pa upgrade ( Worked fine w/o errors )
Ran pa.sql import ( Worked fine w/o errors )
No plugin management link on left bar near settings link.
Checked user management link for admin user, no additional user realm permissions and nothing about pluggins.

Please help, this is driving me nuts.

I have essentially the same problem.

There is some step missing from the upgrade.

I upgraded from 0.8.7b to 0.8.7d, and all my plugin stuff disappeared.

Poked around a little, and determined that there was some significant change to the plugin architecture.

So I installed PIA 2.4. Updated permissions, and ran the pa.sql script.

All the above appeared to work correctly.

I checked the plugin_config table, and it shows this:

Code: Select all

+----+----------+-------------+-------------------+
| id | plugin   | file        | display           |
+----+----------+-------------+-------------------+
|  1 | internal | plugins.php | Plugin Management |
+----+----------+-------------+-------------------+

The plugin_config table is empty. I did not find anything to load it with anything. Is this correct?

[tomate]

I have exactly the same on a fresh new install
the table is empty

Hi,

I am about to write a CC2 plugin. As far as the textfile plugin sample shows how to pass data to CC2 everything is fine. But: I didnt find any information on how to expose the plugin items to the editor.

Is there any description on _DllGetPluginItems and _DllInsertConfigData?

I already tried the forum search without success.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Rene

Are you sure you have the right forum? Cacti plugins are not DLLs - they're written in PHP...

and what's CC2?

[mariusz]

The same by me.

Pre-patched, pa imported etc.

1. plugin management (realm permissions) for my user (admin) checked.
2. new tab Plugin Management appear, but clear, empty, just table with " Plugin Management" in upper row, even when Host info (working plugin !!! i don't know how) says that I AM USING clog, reportit etc.

Strange.

[SOLVED] I deleted ALL plugins folders from /Plugins, and leave just Hostinfo and settings, tab on left side in Cacti works ( Plugin Management), now i will work on next plugins.
