Weathermap 0.9pre1 - TEST RELEASE - READ THE POST!

[Howie]

This is the first release candidate for PHP Weathermap 0.9

Unlike previous versions, there have been two stages to the development/testing process this time around.

There have been 'early test' versions around since October 2006, and development since March 2006. This is *in theory* a 'finished' version now.

The full change list is quite big, so it's now a web page. It's in the manual too, but you can see it here:
http://www.network-weathermap.com/docs/0.9/changes

The manual is also online in it's current form:
http://www.network-weathermap.com/manual/0.9/

HOWEVER, if you have never used Weathermap before, please don't use this as your first version. At this stage, I'd like to focus on release-specific problems, rather than supporting new users. Please stick with 0.82 for a week or so longer. Equally, please be aware that there *might* still be issues in this version that I haven't seen in my testing and that no-one else has reported. Having said that, I've been using my own dev versions on my employer's live service for at least 6 months now, with only a few hiccups.

The only issues I know of are documentation - the TARGET section needs updating still, as does the Cacti plugin section. None of it is wrong, but both sections need expanding.

If that directory doesn't exist, it looks like you didn't copy everything into your weathermap directory, because it does exist in the zip file

You do need to copy ALL of the zip contents.

Its there

I just unzipped to the plugins dir and overwrote all. I didn't unzip and copy there

[Howie]

Its there

[root@mints weathermap]# cd lib/pre/
[root@mints pre]# ls
WeatherMapPreProcessorTest.php

[root@mints pre]# ls -la /var/www/html/plugins/weathermap/lib/pre/

Your error said post, not pre. Does that exist?
(hey, editing is cheating )

Actually, I'll make these two directories optional, because they aren't used yet, but they should exist as part of the zip file. They do on my copy anyway

You don't get the same problem with the datasource plugins? How about using the command-line version(./weathermap)?

[eternal]

Sorry Its a bit early for me.
I get a err for all dirs in lib. Was searching for the error didn't realize i didn't copy all when posting

[Howie]

Hmmm. OK. Could you add in a line for me?

In Weathermap.class.php, can you add a line before 2596:
warn("PWD is ".getcwd()."\n");
and see what the output says? (it should be the path to the weathermap directory.

Also, can you confirm whether you're seeing this in the cacti logs, or the Recalc Now output or from the command line? (or all?)

Dosent show up in cacti log

Does this only happen with the editor? (you didn't mention it was the editor!)

I mean, if you put the example map into the configs directry, and it in the Weathermaps management page, does that get generated properly?

[eternal]

YEa sorry only when trying to edit a map. Pre existing maps work fine. Or creating one

[Howie]

In that case, can you try adding the followig to the end of the editor-config.php file? (just before the ?> )

Code: Select all

chdir(dirname(__FILE__));

(that's two _ each side of file)

[eternal]

Got it

thanks

[Howie]

Got it

thanks

Cool. pre2 will have that fix.

Howie, I just got around to installing this today. One good thing that I noticed is the map seems to render faster in both the editor and Cacti, not sure if I'm going nuts on seeing that or not, but it just seems to.

I have three bugs for you though. The Legend Text does not seem to work properly in the editor. If you put nothing in that line and hit submit you'll get:

Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /var/www/html/plugins/weathermap/Weathermap.class.php on line 4155

and it will put "Traffic Load" in the Legend, if you open Map Properties again and hit submit, you'll only see a T appear on the Traffic Legend, even though it shows "Traffic Load" in the box.

Second buggie: In the previous version I didn't have borders around my node labels. I don't recall how I turned them off, but they were off. Now with this version they're back, and I really don't like them.

Third: Map Size apparently doesn't work. I changed mine to 1024x768 and it reverted right back to 800x600. Map appears to be ok, and the correct size, but it just doesn't seem to keep it set.

I'll let you know if I find anymore, keep up the good work, everything else looks great on it so far, head down to the pub for a drink for a job well done so far.
