      If it's patched against 2.1 or a package is made, it can be used in the meantime. It's not really that big of a deal to go that route.

        Can we get a package done for both the 2.0.x series and then 2.1 since its not on release yet you think?

        Marcello had something going but I dont know if he is talking to Rich about this and they do it together?

          @jimp:

          So, I'll keep some of the hard coded stuff that works with comments that it needs a little logic love, and focus on asthetics and functionality.

          I'll do what it says here to my eclipse, hopefully it will get me off of the napkins I have been using to get this widescreen thing done.

          http://devwiki.pfsense.org/PfsenseEclipseXdebugSetup

          I STILL need some kind of autocomplete Ai Syntax thing where I type just a few letters of what I'm trying to do, and a whole function appears that just works exactly like what I'm picturing in my head.
          (I hope you guys can tell when I'm joking..  all I hear is crickets.. is this thing on? How come there are many programmers who think that Halloween is XMas?  because Oct 31 == Dec 25!!  Um, how many coders to screw in a lightbulb?  Can't be done .. hardware issue.  Ok, I swear.. maybe not today , maybe not this week. I'll get some more time to keep this moving forward.,….)

          I anyone who is using the current 2.1 widescreen stuff...    Any comments?  does it feel like I'm going in the right direction with this so far?

            Rich,

            Your widescreen update does work in v2.1, sorry no screen shots (yet!), unfortunately the "all.css" file that is included in the zip file appears to be old and misses some later updates.

            The dashboard (index.php) has an issue with the HTML DIV statements, it's giving an error message.  I'm not at home at present and will try and find the culprit, but may be something to do with the closing DIV statement before column 1 ("col1").

            Definitely a thumbs up from me (and probably lots from Supermule ;) ).

              Yes…..! Its fairly annoying to sit on a 2560x1600 screen and mess with the "old" theme.... :D

              Rich. Can you walk me through a 3-4 column code change in 2.0.3??

                @rich

                Just found this thread thanks to Supermule. I was unaware of your work while I was working on something similar! I was struggling with loading the columns after a save, but looking at your code I figured this out big THANKS!

                Anyway I have taken a different approach to you and have attempted to implement this into a theme as opposed to the existing pfsense. If your interested in what I have done you can follow it here:

                    Since I thought initially this was for 2.0.x I installed it on a few I have around. What Ive found is that if Ive had the original widescreen package on a box before (but uninstalled) things work fine. If not then I seem to have issues.  (Actually one I tried to install over the widescreen package and that didn't so so well until I uninstalled that package then worked fine. 2nd had the package then uninstalled before I tried, works fine. third never had the package and didn't do so well.) Forth same as third before went to 2.1…

                    I have it on two boxes now with 2.1 RC and everything (this widescreen (manual install)) is great so far.   :)

                    Some others going to 2.1 today and will add it later.

                              Hi Serialdie,

                              For now you can use the ZIP file earlier in the thread to overlay onto your install.. There is just a few files to be updated underneath of /usr/local/www the subfolder layout in the www folder of the zip file should match up if you take a moment to look at it.

                              If you are on Windows you can grab 2 tools which are very useful to examining the changes that were made from the official files and mine. If your not on Windows I assume you know how to do all of this already.   The best place (I find) to grab these tool on a Windows PC would be http://ninite.com, you should grab WinSCP and WinDiff WinMerge.  WinSCP will allow you to transfer files in and out of your pfSense installation in a GUI interface.. its cake.. Here is the magic sauce if anyone needs it.. #1 SSH Enabled.  #2 Use the username "root" not admin.  #3 Use the same password as your admin user.  I'm pretty sure both SCP and SFTP will work fine.. if one doesn't work, try the other.

                              WinDiff WinMerge will give you a GUI to compare the Widescreen patched files and the release files in the image (If you so desire to understand the changes).. If it doesn't compare properly, its probably because the line endings are wrong in one of the files.. There is an option on the first menu in WinDiff WinMerge which will unify the line endings to unix or windows (You want them to be unix before putting them back into your router, obviously)   I only mention WinDiffWinMerge because it was instrumental in helping me sort out the Widescreen fixes and keep track of what I was changing along the way as I worked on this.

                              I'm tied down in another project, but I forked everything under my Github account which matches up with this user name here… It will probably be about a week before I can dig in again like I did before.  I still have a few things I wanted to do to the Widescreen before publishing it.. its perfectly functional as is.. but not where I want it to be before I figure out how to package it properly and submit it.

                              It really is easy enough to patch these files into your router if you understand basic file management.. WinSCP will get you the access you need to do so in the mean time.

                              I hope this helps for now.. I was rushing initially thinking it was possible to get this into 2.1, but JimP says its a "no go" due to it being late in the cycle.  I'll dig back into this ASAP.

                              Rich

                                The File Manager Package is also good for getting these files in place.  :)

                                  Ok I must have done something wrong but my dashboard is broken. I cant re arrange my dashboard nor I can add or delete widgets… :/
                                  What gives?

                                  I scp the files over to the correct areas as explained...

                                  I use linux not windows.

                                    ok I reverted back. This pkg broke my web interface.

                                    Did I had to apply the patch manually after transferring the files? Or all I had to do was just transfer the files?

                                      Any ideas where I can get the original?

                                      TIA

                                        not trying to hijack this thread. But if your running 2.1 you can try this theme: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,48140.msg339507.html#msg339507
                                        It should do exactly the same as this package ie add extra columns.

                                        I tried to patch it to work for 2.0.3 but it looks like to much work. 2.1 is not far away so I gave up (sorry Supermule). So if your on 2.0.3 stick with this patch. If someone wants to package it up they can.

                                        I'm not sure if it will work with this package installed as they may conflict.
