Description

I had some time to kill so I built a FOG server from scratch, performing a fresh install of CentOS 7.2.1511 then installing RC26 in order to prove my documentation is still good. And there was much rejoicing.

Once the entire install process was complete I imported users, groups, hosts and images exports OK, then:

FOG View Settings
= FOG_VIEW_DEFAULT_SCREEN = LIST (default=search)

Clicking on USERS, HOSTS, GROUPS or IMAGES brings me to the SEARCH page only. I can still manually go to the LIST All link, but this setting is not behaving as intended.

This was already reported and is fixed upstream.

[sudburr]

Ahh, there it is.

Huh… wonder how I missed that one?

[Wayne Workman]

@sudburr Happens. Don’t worry about it.

Ultimately you’re re-worded posting about the problem will help others that are in the RC cycle.

[sudburr]

Figured out why I missed it again. It is another example of the perils of using pictures instead of text and of quoting text inaccurately.

Searching for either ‘FOG_VIEW_DEFAULT_SCREEN’ or ‘FOG View Settings’ doesn’t find it, but using the incorrect ‘FOG View Setting’ (missing the s) does find it.

Updating to RC27 did not fix this.
= result is no list displayed for hosts or images ( I have no groups, snapins or printers )

However …

1. FOG_DATA_RETURNED was now blank. Previously it stated 0.
   = result is no list.

2. Set FOG_VIEW_DEFAULT_SCREEN to Search
   = result is no list.

3. Set FOG_VIEW_DEFAULT_SCREEN to List
   = result is no list.

4. Set FOG_DATA_RETURNED to any value
   = result is no list.

5. Set FOG_VIEW_DEFAULT_SCREEN to Search
   = result is no list.

6. Set FOG_VIEW_DEFAULT_SCREEN to Search and a FOG_DATA_RETURNED value
   = result is no list.

7. Set FOG_VIEW_DEFAULT_SCREEN to List and a FOG_DATA_RETURNED with no value
   = result is no list.

8. Performed a SEARCH from the Image page while no images listed
   = returns list of matching image

9. Cleared the SEARCH box and revisited HOSTS page
   = returns the list

10. visited Images page
    = returns the list

[Tom Elliott]

@sudburr I don’t understand what you’re meaning?

List is listing things. Search will only search things. Essentially, the data returned 0 means limiting is turned off, but due to the “new” way of searching/listing, the data returned is not even needed. I search in host and the searched for results are returned.

Maybe a Hard Refresh will be needed? (Shift + F5 typically)

[sudburr]

I mean following the steps I outlined above is how I got it to finally work. Assume a save and a hard refresh on a separate tab to achieve each = . Considering what I found with the storage group association of images yesterday I figured I’d try toggling some settings, and that included the Search vs List option.

It wasn’t until I performed a Search from the Images page that the LIST option setting began to work as intended.

Again, this is on an absolutely from-the-ground-up installation of CentOS followed by RC26. The only thing introduced other than my standard configuration was the importing of exports.
