Latest FOG 0.33b

[Tom Elliott]

I don’t know about the progress bars specifically. I haven’t seen them since r899 and I can’t pinpoint where they’re to actually display. So that issue aside, how do you mean you’ve lost the ability to search? Search for what? All search bars in specific? One area? What do you mean lost the ability to search?

r976 released,

Fixes type on ImageManagementPage for editing the images.

Also corrects the Host edit to keep you from having to change the hostname any time you make a change to some field other than the hostname.

[Ed Blom]

The ability to search for any part… like the mac address, host name, tag…
On 32 there’s a progress bar on “active tasks” that shows you the percentage of imaging, we’ve also implemented a fix for UPloading an image to show the progress bar, which is what I was referring to.

[SIZE=2]We’re [/SIZE]re installing[SIZE=2] 12.04 then fog r796, note: this is a side server. Our main one we still run on 32 ;)[/SIZE]

Update: we’ve installed 12.04 fog R976.
Everything works fine until we import our SQL from .32 .
33b goes nuts, throws errors , any suggestions ?

I’m assuming the exported SQL database is not compatible with .33b so what changed.

[Tom Elliott]

You must remember that, more or less, FOG 0.33b was a complete rewrite of the original code from 0.01 thru 0.32. Many things got changed. It is not recommended to use 0.32 database for 0.33 as it’s too difficult to determine exactly all the changes between the two. I can provide a diff file if necessary, but it’s quite a bit of change. For one, hosts no longer has a hostOS field for example. I do understand the reasoning for wanting to import the old database and am working on trying to figure out the best approach to this, but in the mean time, the best recommendation I can give is to export the elements you need for sure. When exporting the Hosts, export only the name mac and, as necessary or possible, the imageID. Exporting the images get the path, imageID, and name if you can. Also, when exporting do a right inner join to obtain the OSID from the 0.32 code for implementation into 0.33 images field. This last part is especially important as otherwise the system won’t know what OS it is and everything, I imagine, would try to be dd imaged if I understand the fog scripts well enough.

I’m sure there’s other things to need as well, but there is so many changes between the two databases.

Hmm… I see you didn’t use my patch, and removed the internationalization support on ImageManagementPage.class.php line 243… Not sure that’s a good thing

[code] <h2><?php print “Edit image definition”; ?></h2>[/code]

Also at some point, I think I could bring a lot of help in there, but is there :

• a project management tool (or is it the forum) ?
• a project leader, or some roadmap (besides ironing out the new 0.33 OO code) ?
• coding guidelines ?

and who manages the SVN access on SF ? In case, my SF id is gilou-epik.

How do you say I didn’t use the patch file?

According to your description:

[code]- <h2><?php print _(“Add new image definition”); ?></h2>

•          <h2><?php print _("Edit image definition"); ?></h2>[/code] These were the referenced variables.
  

The only thing I did was remove the _() parts. Maybe I just don’t understand, but what exactly does the _( ) wrapping actually do?

I tried researching it, but it’s kind of difficult even with the best google ninja’s.

[Gilou]

It is a wrapper for the gettext function, that uses the .pot file as a reference to ease the translation in other languages.

[Tom Elliott]

I found that out and am changing all the elements that I remove the _() tags from right now. I didn’t now. I’m sorry I was so STOOPID

ok… we’ve finessed our export/imports and are confident we can make 033b happen. However one tiny problem that’s probably easy to fix., when you search for any piece of hardware like a serial number or asset tag, search results are 0.
We use this quite extensively to search for Dell tags.

Can you try on in your database to search for something in the hardware… like [FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#555555]System Serial Number ?[/COLOR][/FONT]

[Tom Elliott]

Yes I can,

Relatively speaking this is very easy, except the search protocols don’t look at the inventory tables … yet, I’ll try to look into this over the weekend if that’s okay!

[Ed Blom]

yes ! that’s fine… we do appreciate the time and effort ! Fog is the cornerstone of our IT department

[Tom Elliott]

I already have this figure out and, somewhat, tested.

For all:

Not only can you now search for host by hostname, mac, id, description, serial, or what have you! You can also search for a host by group name from the hosts page, and you can search for a group containing a specific hostname. I thought this could be useful and hope you all think the same.

r979 out.

Something to be aware of, as well,

Searching by ID’s isn’t supported, yet. It would only take an add to the searchQuery string in <class>Manager.class.php though!

how did you export and import from .32 to .33

[Ed Blom]

exported from .32 using phpmyadmin.
What was important for us was the host name, mac address and hardware info.
So we exported to .csv format the hosts from the old .32 install.
Finessed the data in excel, we had to add four columns. then imported the .csv in the new install.
same with printers and images.
The easiest one was inventory -which holds all your hardware info, this was a straight SQL export.

So you need to csv export:

• hosts

• images

• printers -if you use printers-

• inventory (SQL table export)

Then use phpmyadmin on .33 and import into the sql.

I can be more specific, but that’ll be Monday when I’m back at work.

[Tom Elliott]

Thank you ed.

[Tom Elliott]

r981 out.

Added ID searching fields to the Group and Host searching elements.

Still working towards reintegrating Internationalization bits, but almost there!.

Moved inventory display to Inventory Class.

[Ed Blom]

Hmm I’ve imported all my stuff and search does not work

[Tom Elliott]

You may have to ensure the hostid matches the inventory hostid

[Tom Elliott]

Also,

Have you upgraded to the latest revision? I’m guess you have, but that would only leave the thought from above. When you imported the hosts, did you import as CSV? If you did with CSV, it recreates the hostID’s so the Inventory table’s iHostID would be incorrect.
