Don’t forget to exportfs -a, I know I’m being captain obvious here, but I just want to make sure jbonilla doesn’t skip any steps.

Just for comparison, this is how I boot:

:ubuntu 
kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/iso/ubuntu64/desktop/casper/vmlinuz.efi
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/iso/ubuntu64/desktop/casper/initrd.lz
imgargs vmlinuz.efi root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/var/www/fog/iso/ubuntu64/desktop/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us mirror/country=US
boot || goto MENU

with chmod set to 755 on the folders. Btw, your vmlinuz and initrd should usually be located in the casper folder.

@Tom-Elliott Will we be able to alpha/beta test FOG 2.0? I’d really be interested.

@Jbob Yes, spawning a new thread was what I was going to try out next. Thanks for the help.

I’m trying to make a plugin that scans a folder periodically to detect any addition/removal of files. The problem is, when I try to implement this functionality with a simple while(true)-loop and sleep(), FOG completely stops working. Does FOG have some sort of TimeTick-Event that I can use for this mechanism?

Thanks.

@ch3i Yes, I meant having widgets on the dashboard.

@Jbob I see, thanks for the answer.

Ups, sry, wasn’t specific enough I guess, I meant GUI widgets.

@Tom-Elliott Ok I figured it out. The problem were the comments in the AddHostSerial.hook.php:

	/** @var $name the name of the hook */
	public $name = 'AddHostSerial';
	/** @var $description the description of what the hook does */
	public $description = 'Adds host serial to the host lists';
	/** @var $author the author of the hook */
	public $author = 'Junkhacker with edits from Tom Elliott';
	/** @var $active whether or not the hook is to be running */
	public $active = true;

Those @var $name Symbols are not very PHP friendly it seems.

Thanks for the help, Tom.

I’d be awesome if FOG had similar drag and drop’able widgets like e.g. Wordpress has. I’m thinking about coding this myself but seeing as I’m a complete newbie to PHP I figure it’d probably be faster to request this feature.

Any chance this will be implemented in the future?

@Tom-Elliott I modified the VNC hook now to represent a minimal (working) example:

class HostVNCLink extends Hook {
	var $name = 'HostVNCLink';
	var $description = 'Adds a "VNC" link to the Host Lists';
	var $author = 'Blackout';
	var $active = true;

	function DashboardData($arguments) {
		if ($_REQUEST['node'] == 'home') {
			echo 'test';
		}
	}
}
$HookManager->register('DashboardData', array(new HostVNCLink(), 'DashboardData'));

If I use the exact same code in e.g. AddHostSerial.hook.php (with the classnames changed ofc), the hook doesn’t work. This is what I don’t understand. Do I have to register AddHostSerial somewhere for it to work?

@Tom-Elliott I’ve tried to copy and paste the VNC hook into e.g. AddHostSerial hook, they both use HOST_DATA so they should be interchangeable. Copying VNC code to AddHostSerial didn’t work but for some reason, copying AddHostSerial code to VNC did work. I don’t understand why though.
