Dashboard does not save settings

oswazi

I also see that when i log into Pfsense webgui it does not save the dashboard settings, and bottom banner is off to the left.

I see the same thing and we're taking a look into it.

oswazi

Did that issue ever get looked into? with the image and also with the saving the dashboard so everytime i login it's there?

This should be resolved now. Try the next snapshot in about an hour and see how it goes.

The footer offset is now corrected
BUT, now it is not possible to add any dashboard items. (ALPHA-20080722-0152)

Have tried both IE and FF3.01 and when you press "+" and select an item for the dashboard
nothing happens and it does not appear on the dashboard screen…

Tried several times and on both browsers.

In IE I get the error "Line 44, Char 2, Error: document.getByElementId(...) is null or not an object, Code 0" in index.php

Seeing the same thing on pfSense-20080722-0909.img
No dashboard intro, blank dashboard, nothing happens when you add an item.

Have tested latest build "ALPHA-20080722-1318" and still same problem…

yoda715

Hmm. Ok, I'm not seeing the same results, but I'm looking into it.

mrzaz

Tried the latest again "ALPHA-20080722-1722.tgz" but same.

Just to be sure that it isn't any old cached data running I cleared the Cache in FF and IE
and closed down the browsers and started fresh. But as said, same problem.

I also noticed in IE, the following exceptions:
1_login.jpg

This comes straight after you have logged in and done nothing.

2_mousecursor_over__blank_Dashboard.jpg

This comes continously when the cursor is hovering the dashboard. Once every few seconds

3_select_widget_carp.jpg

This comes when you press the PLUS and selects a widget to show on dashboard (in this case the CARP)

Ok I'm not able to duplicate this. Can you post the widget config entry in your config.xml? To view the config entry, go to Diagnostics > Edit File. Enter "/conf/config.xml" in the "Save/load" text box and click 'Load'. Now look for the section like this:

Can you post this information to this thread? (include the <widget>tags)</widget>

oswazi

Here is my config.xml, at the bottom widgets doesn't show anything.

<pfsense><version>4.8</version>
…........................

<shaper></shaper></pfsense>

Ahh, thats a problem. It should never be blank. Remove

and save the config, then reboot. Tell me how that looks.

oswazi

I am running off of Monday July21st snapshot, should i upgrade first to latest and then do as suggested? or try as is?

yoda715

I'm committing a data check for this issue. You can either remove the config entries or wait for the next snapshot to be built. Either way will restore the dashboard. Thanks for your assistance!

mrzaz

Mine was:

Thumbs up! I removed the section and rebooted and now it seems to work.
Got SystemInfo, Interfaces and Traffic Graphs as default when logging in
and was able to add additional and drag them around and place them where
I wanted...

If you have included a sanity check for this I have no problem to close
this topic. Case closed... :-)

Best regards

Ps. Thanks for quick response on this one ... :D
And thanks for a VERY good piece of software...

mrzaz

Have double-checked that the widget data is stored correctly in config = YES.

Good to hear, thanks for helping troubleshoot :)

Hmm mine gets overridden with the default setting everytime I logon. Did a pfSense reinstall with pfSense-Full-Update-1.3-ALPHA-ALPHA-20080723-0948.tgz
what i did (config.xml):


After Logon
-------------------
	 <widgets><traffic_graphs-config>LAN_graph-config:show,WAN_graph-config:show,refreshInterval=1</traffic_graphs-config></widgets> 
-----------------------------------
After adding widgets and saving
----------------------------------------
	 <widgets><sequence>system_information-container:col1:show,carp_status-container:col1:close,cpu_graphs-container:col1:close,gateways-container:col1:close,interface_statistics-container:col2:show,installed_packages-container:col2:show,interfaces-container:col2:show,ipsec-container:col2:close,load_balancer_status-container:col2:close,log-container:col2:close,services_status-container:col2:close,traffic_graphs-container:col2:show</sequence>
		<traffic_graphs-config>LAN_graph-config:show,WAN_graph-config:show,refreshInterval=1</traffic_graphs-config></widgets>

Now that is even stranger than before. The config is in no way session based. Once you save the dashboard its written to the config. I would remove the entire <widget>entry in your config and see how that works. Sounds like your config is really messed up somehow.</widget>

I thought the same, that was why i did a reinstall from a 1.2 cd to snapshot. But let's see if others confirms it or i find a empty cd so i can burn a image :).
