<script type="text/javascript">
var config = {
  'select'                   : {},
  '.chosen-select'           : {},
  '.chosen-select-deselect'  : {allow_single_deselect:true},

nice!
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!)

Very nice !

However, you'd also need to make this change for each "general_header.php" file in use for all your plugins, too :D
