nmidWeb2 - Cacti Web 2.0 - v0.3 - 0.8.7g beta out now !

[phalek]

nmidWeb2 adds an Web2 interface to the TreeView page, allowing the graphs to be moved around and collapsed. The graph positions are saved in the database on a per user/tree/leaf basis so the next time the user loads that page, the graph will be positioned be where they have been put. ( also when the user changes the computer or browser )

New: Plugin Documentation: http://docs.cacti.net/userplugin:nmidweb2

The addon can now be downloaded from: http://redmine.nmid-plugins.de/projects ... s/nmidweb2

[zeki]

Hello dear phalek...

Can you propose your work for the next version of cacti...
Or perhaps integrate the great Cacti developpers Team

Victor.

[chrisgapske]

Such a Great idea. I know they are looking to move to AJAX in 0.9.0 but if you started now as a plugin mirroring or building on what Cacti is great it all looks very very nice.

Did you ever go further with this?

[Hyperlord]

Hi there,

very nice thing! It reminds me of IPswitch WhatsUp Gold v. 11 (Workspace Views).
I think this is a really hot topic, because you might be able to create your own "Graph Views", or to be more specific, arrange your own Graph-View-Templates.

I might say this is Triple-X-Hot I'll folliow that thread!

I'm currently not really have a high focus on that one, although I really like the re-arranging stuff of the graphs.

Unfortunately, I lack the knowledge on how to actually save the "portlet" state correctly ...

[rony]

You should take a look at what we are up to in the Main branch in SVN.

[phalek]

I did read the email

You told something about extJS there but I didn't have time to take a look at the SVN yet ...

[rony]

We are using Jquery...

ExtJS license is questionable.

[phalek]

Ok,

Here's a screenshot using JQuery instead of EXTjs ...

It's even easier to do

If you just wouldn't use that many tables ...

[rony]

Keep it up man!

Nice work!

[phalek]

Ok, I now did manage to have the "state" saved. so the graphs stay where they are, even after closing and restarting the browser ...

The state is saved in a cookie, so that different cacti users can have their graphs sorted differently.
