@LostInIgnorance:

THANKS JIMP!!!! :D ;D :D

LostInIgnorance,

Can you share how you add the missing links?

Thanks!

serialdie

I got it.

Thanks

Fixed :)

I even add it phpsysinfo and it works just fine :)

Posted pull request to file on GitHub, hopefully they will be committed.

Merged, thx.

I've had a similar problem which I was discussing here: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,40570.0.html in the IPv6 forums. I took a look at the original fbegin.inc and compared it to the one from the widescreen package. They seemed to be quite different so I modified the original file with the layout changes that make it work with the widescreen package. I've uploaded a copy to take a look at and hopefully someone will add it to the latest version of the widescreen package.

Edit: Sorry, the version of fbegin.inc I had didn't have the DHCPv6 Relay link in the Services menu. I've reuploaded the new version.

How different is it?

I only found a few links missing.

It's not just the missing links but the way the file is written. I believe it uses the old fbegin.inc from version 1.2.3.
There is a few changes such as in the old one a line would like like this:

$firewall_menu[] = array("Aliases", "/firewall_aliases.php");

where as in the new one it would look like this:

$firewall_menu[] = array(gettext("Aliases"), "/firewall_aliases.php");

There is also this part that checks if you have the correct user privileges and displays the appropriate link


if (!isAllowedPage("system_usermanager.php*"))
	$system_menu[] = array(gettext("User Manager"), "/system_usermanager_passwordmg.php");
else
	$system_menu[] = array(gettext("User Manager"), "/system_usermanager.php");

The changes aren't that big but I believe it's always good to use the most up to date version of the files.

That's the difference between fbegin.inc on mainline (what will be 2.1, the "ipv6" code people are using now) and 2.0 proper.
There isn't going to be a good way to just have one file do both without a bit of hacking things up and detecting the version.

jimp,

Do you think going away from the widescreen pkg is the best solution?

I am not the type that likes to look at 1000 of lines of code to try and compare and fix them :)

Until the widescreen package has a workaround for 2.1, it would probably be best to not use it. That is, unless you don't actually need any of the menu items that are missing…

For now I've just been uploading the modified copy of fbegin.inc after I do an update. Only takes a few seconds to ftp in.
