Advanced Menu Issue(s)

[Sebastian Roth]

@x23piracy Not sure what you are trying to achieve with the first four lines of your menu script. Removing those make the menu work for me instantly!

@Junkhacker correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t 7671 be after @Tom-Elliott fixed the sanitization fields? I had this issue as well and just went to my Advanced menu and clicked “save” to update it. Cleared out the ampersand issue for me and started working right away.

[Junkhacker]

@Andy-Abplanalp that’s what i wanted to see, if it was the sanitization issue.

[x23piracy]

@Junkhacker hmmm no really the same:

but i tried advanced some hours ago and could remember that i also had error with it, i just thougth its the same.

[Junkhacker]

@x23piracy you need to check the values in your advanced menu settings. there was a field sanitization issue that’s been resolved, but you may have invalid data saved. check what should be your “&” symbols

@junkhacker, The result is of http://fog.IP/fog/service/ipxe/advanced.php:

#!ipxe

@Sebastian-Roth Ich Idiot ;)… stupid me, copy & paste issue

[Junkhacker]

@TreyBentley looks like you don’t actually have a menu created. what is listed in your advanced menu field in fog settings?

[TreyBentley]

@Junkhacker , Well, yeah, nothing is there; but I didn’t think that would matter when I gave fog.reginput’s “Menu Show with” either Advanced Options or Advanced Login Required. Obviously I’m not understanding the boot menu configurations properly yet. I thought placing those with one of those options would populate the Advanced Menu. If not, where’s me some good documentation on it? ^_^

[Junkhacker]

these features are pretty new and i’m not sure how documented they are. have you checked the wiki? perhaps i could help you if you told me what your goal was.

[TreyBentley]

@Junkhacker, no problem.

The goal is for the computer to pxe boot to a menu where the only option is to Boot to hard drive. However, if ESC (or other assigned hotkey) is pressed, then the Login Screen appears. After a Tech enters valid credentials, they’ll go to the Advanced Menu, where they can access the other, pre-defined menu items, like Host Registration, Quick Image, etc.

[Junkhacker]

@TreyBentley have you tried “Hide Menu” in FOG PXE Boot Menu Configuration ?

[TreyBentley]

@Junkhacker,
Yes, but I didn’t find that to be password protected…

[Junkhacker]

@TreyBentley i’m pretty sure that choosing most of the options on the first menu require logging in anyway

[TreyBentley]

@Junkhacker,

I’m sorry. It is indeed password protected; with and without that checkbox checked, ironically. We’ll live with that for now. Thanks. At least that was that simple. Now, time to go researching kernel panic issues.

@TreyBentley if you have any trouble with resolving fog kernel panics, just start a new thread and we’ll help you out.
