New skin

[browniebraun]

Thanks for all information, but to be sure to understand, the phalek version is a fork and not a new addition to the official version? This is not the same thing that says browniebraun?

You're absolutely right. And I was talking about 0.8.8d - nothing else.
As Jimmy perfectly explained we have to migrate everything in baby steps.
Next release will allow to use different themes based on plain CSS.

phalek, your forked version will follow the Cacti roadmap, or it's a "one shoot" version only?

[phalek]

It will/needs to follow the roadmap, as it's the base for CereusMonitoring a hosted Cacti solution with several enhancements.

UPDATE: Now of course it will be behind a bit due to the changes involved ... e.g. the current version is based on 0.8.8b but already includes some patches from 0.8.8c

Would be nice to see the Smarty integration coming at some point, as it makes things easier ...

Here's a little online-demo:

Try calling the URL from your smartphone ...

Took me 5 lines of code to be changed in setup.php to integrate Weathermap. It's enabled on the demo page as well now:

The skin looks great, but the license for the skin isn't so useful...

You must not incorporate the item in a work which is created for redistribution or resale by you or your client.

Your use of the item is restricted to a single installation.

Until you get to the $750 version.

[phalek]

which I have ....

[Howie]

fair enough...

I'll be reverting to plain bootstrap though - Weathermap is the worst-paying job I ever had!

[phalek]

I was way to lazy to take care of a nice design. Nevertheless plain bootstrap is nice looking as well. Just wanted to get a complete supported package to use for my commercial projects. That 750$ paid off on a customer project already anyway.

Btw, i just implemented this Image map resizer to Weathermap ( along with some divs in the Weathermap class) to nicely resize the ImageMap along with the actual weathermap.

The whole thing needs to be useable on a tablet/smartphone

https://github.com/davidjbradshaw/imagemap-resizer

It's implementd on the demo page and works quite nicely and should be compatible with GPL i think ( it's MIT licensed )

Still need to find that little table/td/tr thing that stops the resizing part to fit on a smartphone ...
Edit: Found it, it was the footer

Thanks for that! I'll try to get it into the next version. It has a nice full-screen mode now, and this would work well with that too.

The Manage...Weathermaps screen will be very different for the next version, I hope.

+1,000,000,000,000,000....well, you get the point.

The data Cacti pulls is second to none, even as a base install. I've had many comments over the last 7+ years of using Cacti about the UI and how it needs an update. That said, those of us that are Network/Systems Engineers are interested in data, not fashion. But at the end of the day, Management always likes the polished look. So this is VERY exciting.

I will say this. That without the plugins working, any UI re-write is virtually unusable for probably 90% of the community. Functions such as Weathermaps, AUTOM8, Monitor, MacTrack, THOLD, Nectar, Discover etc., are all essential (IMO) to basic operation of Cacti. I'm sure many great minds have discussed integrating those functions as a part of Cacti, and have great reasons why it has NOT been done for some of the more obvious ones like AUTOM8 and THOLD etc.., but as long as we can ensure the plugins can port to whatever new UI's are created, this will be a highlight of 2015 for me. I've waited MANY years for this!

[phalek]

Don't worry, the base functionality won't change in Cacti and most plugins are simple to adapt to the new UI, regardless if it's the CereusMonitoring UI or what browniebrown is talking about.

Without a rewrite of their UI they simply will look "odd", but if they only show up on the "console" part and not the end-user interface that doesn't really matter at the beginning.

[phalek]

I've updated the demo site with some plugins. Thold is not yet fully "new UI" like.

Hello,
First of all, the look is awesome phalek. I've began testing, and I think I got a bug for you : cant create additional graph trees(error : save failed).
Also a small feature is missing when creating graphs for hosts : the box for "select all" is missing, you have to manually click for every graph.

That's all, so far, I just installed it . Keep up the good job, btw.

Nice Phalek,
Keep up the good job, btw ist free ???
