Tab default images and font used for existing cacti tabs.

Post by lavermil »

Hello,

I am creating a few plugins for some applications (at the moment crude IFRAME) but I want to have a nice tab that looks like every other tab for plugins out there. Where would I get that tab and what font is used for the writting of the tab name?

TIA.

use SuperLinks 0.72.
With it you can create tab with necessary title and then just save pic.

I am confused. I thoguht the tabs superlinks created were subpages within the superlinks page.

The point is that it creates tab images. You don't have to keep the pages, just the images :-)

They aren't "subpages" though - a superlinks tab doesn't look any different to any other plugin or cacti tab (it's a very slightly different font, but no-one has complained)...

In fact, if all you are doing is using an iframe to embed another app, then Superlinks might do what you need - that's exactly what it's aimed at. You get pretty good per-user access control for free, too.
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.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)

Interesting. I will check it out. I thought superlinks was purely for displaying links.
