Re: Superlinks Problem

I'll take a look this weekend. Time and motivation have been low recently.
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.

Found the fix to this issue ...

For some reason it does not honour the 100% declaration here in superlinks.php

print '<iframe src="' . $page['contentfile'] . '" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>';

But works just fine if you specify pixels instead ......

print '<iframe src="' . $page['contentfile'] . '" width="100%" height="600px" frameborder="0"></iframe>';

I fixed that by adding following trick, just change
print '<iframe src="' . $page['contentfile'] . '" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>';
to
print '<iframe id="frame" src="' . $page['contentfile'] .'" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>';
print "<script type='text/javascript'>
function resizeIframe() {
var height=window.innerWidth;//Firefox
if (document.documentElement.clientHeight) {
height=document.documentElement.clientHeight;//IE
};
document.getElementById('frame').style.height=parseInt(height-document.getElementById('frame').offsetTop-72)+'px';
};
document.getElementById('frame').onload = resizeIframe;
window.onresize = resizeIframe;
</script>";
in superlinks.php
This worked for me for my issue with Chrome (virtually not showing at all) and IE9 (showing only a portion). This works for me on both whether configured as a tab or a console menu selection option.


So Thanks man! :)

PIA 2.9 & 0.87g Cacti

As stated modifying the height value fixed my issues on IE9, Firefox 4, and Google Chrome
print '<iframe src="' . $page['contentfile'] . '" width="100%" height="800px" frameborder="0"></iframe>';

I have however one more issue. All superlinks defined as a Console Menu work fine. However if I change the style of them to a Tab , then I get no Tab gif rendered , just the text in Firefox (not Chrome). However the link/broken graphic works fine and gives the target with no need to access or display the console menu which is what I want. (All other plugins render the Tabs fine ). Screenshots below

Console Menu works fine

Hm,that either may be a permission issue as the apache user needs to be able to create these dynamically created images ( check the path of the tab image and check if your webserver can write there )

Or you're missing a php module (e.g. php-gd ) so it's not even trying to generate the images.

You should get a warning for both of those issues in the Superlinks management page, but it does sound like the files aren't being created... (look in plugins/superlinks/tab_images)

Wow! you guys are quick ! I also agree with your responses but haven't figured out yet what I am missing. Here's more info.

OK re

I have chmod'd -R 777 the complete plugins directory structure and chown -R cactiuser:apache but the httpd log is STILL complaining about non-existent gif files when I click a tab

now that permissions and modules aren't the problem any more, you will need to re-create that "superlink" or change the name of it so the image gets re-created.

I don't think Howie made it create the images/tabs every time, but only when you create/update a link

Yeah, some kind of 'regenerate all' button might be handy, eh?

Or at least something that tries to create the image if it doesn't exist, until it does exist.
