Do you plan future updates or is a dead project?
Is a very well done plugin, very useful and simple to use.
I find some issue in email encapsulation.
The message is right in preview mode but is not in a valid html format when the system send it.
Also predefined template like "lotus" are well displaied in preview mode but are not in html format when arrive.
I tried also various mail client like Outlook, Thunderbird, ecc. ................same problem.

(Nectar 0.35a and Cacti 0.8.7g)

It is not dead. But I need more specific hints to track down the bugs you've found. E.g. send the broken mail along with your analysis to my mail account

Hi Gandalf,
there's the possibility to add aggregate graph to the report?
I tried but they were not listed because they are not under template.

Solved

I set "none" on host template, host and graph template, after that aggregate graph are selectable.

Sorry

I'd Love it if someone could help with the issue i have and this plugin.

The plugin is going to do exactly what i need and would be a godsend.

I've set it up, but when i try to send a report via email i just get a blank page and nothing in my maillog. I'm not sure really where to debug.

Nothing shown in cacti.log

Info:
Cacti 0.8.8
Nectar 0.35a
Ubuntu 11.10

Plugin installed no problems, without me editing anything in the code.

Installed postfix and mailutils and successfully send a mail from the OS.

Questions:
How does nectar choose the mail client on the OS? I see no settings in cacti to point to a mail binary path
How could i debug why nectar just returns a blank page in the browser when i try and send a report.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I'm just wondering the permissions of nectar files in the plugin dir are all 500, 501 and nectar.php is not +x i wonder if that is the issue
