I have added something similar to my tasks.advanced.include.php file and it works like a charm, my code is near on the same.

Please read your related post in the Technical help section.

Have you tried getting a later kernel from the “Other Information” > “Kernel Updates” page?

Hey Lethal

I added the following to /var/www/fog/management/includes/tasks.advanced.include.php around line 165, i’m using FOG 0.32, seems to work a treat, not sure why its not included in the standard build.

[PHP] <tr>
<td class=“c”><a href=“?node=tasks&type=group&direction=onesnap&noconfirm=<?php print $groupid; ?>”><img src=“./images/snap.png” /><p><?php print _(‘Deploy Single Snapin’); ?></p></a></td>
<td><p><?php print _(‘This option allows you to send a single snapin to a Group. (Requires FOG Service to be installed on client)’); ?></p></td>
</tr>[/PHP]

Would love to know how you have added extra info to the database I would like to add a location to the hosts section so I know where my computers are, have requested the feature maybe you can help [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/location-information-for-each-host.913/[/url]

Thanks chad-bids that’s great this is the article I have been using to get it going but I’m wondering if I can update the engine version? rather than the def’s, I already have the def’s updating thanks to your article:) .

Have you installed the fog client in the image you are deploying? [url]http://localhost/fog/client[/url]

Hey there,

Is there an easy way to update the version of ClamAV in the init.gz file?

Cheers

This is a pretty simple feature I would like to request.

Is it possible to add a location field into the General section for a host.
Would also be nice if it showed when all hosts were listed.

I know you are rewriting the web interface at the moment so I thought I better get in quick.

Bump.

Is it possible to turn this into a feature request/improvement?

It would be nice if the results of the disk surface test were dumped into a nicely named text file on the FOG server.

Even better features would be.

• Results displayed in reports section.
• Change the status of computers that have failed the test.
• Options to change the surface scan parameters.
• Email alerts.

But hey I would be happy with the text output, I don’t really want to sit in front of computers waiting for the scan to finish.

P.S. Thanks Robin Commander I will be looking into your method in the mean time.

Had some time today, added this to my fog script

[CODE] if [ “$type” == “down” ];
then
# Windows XP
if [ “$osid” == “1” ]; then
echo “”;
echo " * Copying driver files";
echo “”;
ntfs-3g -o force,rw $part /ntfs
mkdir -p /ntfs/sysprep/drivers
cp -R -f /images/drivers/* /ntfs/sysprep/drivers
umount /ntfs;
fi
fi[/CODE]

It seems to work well, will probably expand on this in the future, might even send through page for your wiki with what I’m doing for deploying images.

Hey There,

I have to say this is the third time I have used this project for deployment situations and its fantastic.

I have an odd request, I would like to add a custom some script to copy driver files from a directory on my fog server to my xp image once its restored to the machine.

I understand that you can mount the init.gz image and modify it, I am thinking that adding a bit of code to the “fog” script in /bin will do but at what point should I add this? for the most part my images are single partition.

Also any suggestions on what I should write as well would be great I can write a vb script file but first time with bash script, basically would like to copy a folder full of drivers say /mnt/drivers to ~c:\sysprep\drivers, anything basic will do I’m sure I can modify it to suit

There may even be an easier way of doing this but I dont know it

Cheers
