2.3 firewall tab -rules slow

Steve_B

OK good. So we know it is not related to the pfSense CSS then.

Thanks for taking the time to do that.

I'll suggest the next step shortly.

Pingle seems to have a handle on it (Internal communication)

Let's try this please:

Diagnostics->Edit file

Browse to /usr/local/www/firewall_rules.php

GoTo line 889 using the GoTo control in the top right

Comment out the code that makes the rules sortable:


events.push(function() {
/*
	// Make rules sortable
	$('table tbody.user-entries').sortable({
		cursor: 'grabbing',
		update: function(event, ui) {
			$('#order-store').removeAttr('disabled');
			reindex_rules(ui.item.parent('tbody'));
			dirty = true;
		}
	});
*/

Obviously the code will no longer be sortable, but lets see if it loads faster.

Now they're flyin :)

OK cool. Thanks for doing that.

There is an issue reported in Firefox where initializing the sorting is extremely slow. Trying to find a work-around now.

I have just pushed a work-around for this. Would you please gitsync and try it when you have time?

Hi!

We can close it :)

Chrome is fastest, IE and FF little slower (1.3sec load time) which is excellent :)

Steve_B

Yay!

Thanks to everyone who helped to track this down and test the fix. I learn something from you guys every day :)
