Are you talking about the links seen on top, when editing a single host?
Whcih method of adding your custom link do you prefer, by writing a plugin (using a plugin hook) or by simply patching the code?
Which base version of cacti are you using?

hello,

Are you talking about the links seen on top, when editing a single host?

yes

Whcih method of adding your custom link do you prefer, by writing a plugin (using a plugin hook) or by simply patching the code?

i want to add this within a plugin, so using plugin hook.

Which base version of cacti are you using?

my cacti version is 0.8.7i

The relevant part of code is

Code: Select all

				<td class="textInfo" valign="top">
					<span style="color: #c16921;">*</span><a href="<?php print htmlspecialchars("graphs_new.php?host_id=" . $host["id"]);?>">Create Graphs for this Host</a><br>
					<span style="color: #c16921;">*</span><a href="<?php print htmlspecialchars("data_sources.php?host_id=" . $host["id"] . "&ds_rows=30&filter=&template_id=-1&method_id=-1&page=1");?>">Data Source List</a><br>
					<span style="color: #c16921;">*</span><a href="<?php print htmlspecialchars("graphs.php?host_id=" . $host["id"] . "&graph_rows=30&filter=&template_id=-1&page=1");?>">Graph List</a>
					<?php api_plugin_hook('device_edit_top_links'); ?>
				</td>

So you will use the hook device_edit_top_links and may want to use get_request_var("id") as the id of the host. It would be safe to use

Code: Select all

	/* ================= input validation ================= */
	input_validate_input_number(get_request_var("id"));
	/* ==================================================== */

as validation before using the id.
