[robgeerts]

Good to hear its working now!

[webrazor]

Guys,
some advice please.

Got dashtics up and running.
But every change I make to the config.js will not apply.
It still only sees the default screen.

Any suggestions?

cheers,
Aaron

Do you use the regular (master) version or the beta?
If you use the original version, try the CONFIG.JS I've added as an attachment first..

I had something similar yesterday when setup up my first dashboard.
You forgot to initialize the columns object:

var columns = {}

It kinda sucks that you don't see any error message in the console when you make syntax errors in the configuration. I remember while debbuging the exception was catched somewhere in jquery code and failing silently.

[robgeerts]

The erros were catched, but not in latest versions.
Although, he als missed the quotes around the domoticz-path...

It works Rob.
Thanks for your assistance.

I have a problem getting Dashticz to work after the latest update, before that it worked like you would expect (showing my favourits from Domoticz).

Since i've updated Dashticz i'm having problems getting information, it is stuck at saying Domoticz offline. I even removed Dashticz and reinstalled it but that didnt help either .

After the reinstalled i didnt configure the CONFIG.js so i could see the default page (like before) with example data. This wasnt showing up, after that i entered the IP and port number, saved the config and rebooted the Domoticz server, problem still not solved.

I've tested it on two different devices, and with 3 different browsers. Firefox says Domoticz Offline, Edge and Chrome say connection refused. I dont use authentication.

any ideas?

Solved the problem! After a few reboots I got the Dashticz example page, i used the gear to make a config and copied the data to a blanc config.js file. After that, it worked! After some troubleshooting it became clear that the problem was with the columns part in the example config file. After removing those lines, the problem was solved.

Hi,
I´m about to configure a new dashboard and it looks great but I ran in to a problem. My "changes" looks great on PC but on my Ipad I cant se any device/switch, cant figure out why.. Have tried Safari. CHrome and in private modes but no switches, temperatures etc as shown on my PC. It could see them by running default and use the "save local to this unit" function.

Any advice?

[robgeerts]

Did you configure it via Dashticz webinterface?
If yes, did you save the code to config.js after saving?

Hi to all,
from internal of network all work fine but from external the page prompt only name and date/time like in picture

No i did all the config in config.js.

[robgeerts]

Are the contents of config.js starting with: /* and ending with */
? If yes, remove those...

Today.....again.....i tried to use dashticz.......again.........a white screen. From my point of view. Crappy software. It just doesn't work. Descent software should just work. Without spending hours and days to get it to work. And don't bullshit me that it's a config problem. I'm a systemdeveloper and programmer with more then 30 years of experience. And till now it still is a programming problem. There is no other explanation. If it was a config problem you suggest that al my machines (tried it on more then 10 different machines) and all the people i know (more then 10 people have tried it and nobody could get it to work) all have config problems!? The problem is that the programming issue is applied from scratch till now. Only option. Completely rebuild it without the buggy config.js file which wants me to have a plexserver and an xbmc and god knows what.

Sorry Rob.

I never ever seen it working. Just getting this:

jquery.js:8556 [Deprecation] Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, check https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/.
send @ jquery.js:8556
jquery.js:8693 [Deprecation] Subresource requests whose URLs contain embedded credentials (e.g. `https://user:pass@host/`) are blocked. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5669008342777856 for more details.

Both programming issues.

The second one states that you can not have usernames/passwords in the url. One of your config must haves. But not allowed anymore. No need to explain why i guess.

The exact line of code that is causing problems is:

xhr.open( options.type, options.url, options.async, options.username, options.password );

And Cross-Domain usage is also deprecated.

I just dont know what to answer exactly...
First of all, if you think its crappy, dont use it and just stick with another dashboard or Domoticz itselfs.
There are currently 400 (unique) active users a day who are using it and are happy with it. At first, I created Dashticz as a hobby, just for myself. But, because people liked the idea, I published it FREE OF CHARGE and extended it with new functionality FREE OF CHARGE, spent lots of (actually, too much) time in it. Just for fun. I hate the way you approach me here. Again, If you dont like it, leave! Otherwise, ask me for solutions instead, maybe I can help you...

The first error you mention, I know, this has to be fixed, but its not critical yet! I'll find a solution as soon as I have time.
About the second error; Maybe you should post your config, because I think you have set your domoticz_url with a username and password in it...
By the way, the line you mentioned that is bothering you IS NOT IN ONE OF THE 133 FILES OF DASHTICZ! . At least not in the latest beta and master.

[robgeerts]

Oh, and FYI, because you are using this topic, I guess you are using the old version 1 of Dashticz and not the latest, version 2.
Wich has its own forum: http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=67

I have this working without any real problems (except for my own mistakes) for quite some time.

Just a heads up to you Rob.

Maybe you should think about a sector change? Someone with "30 years of experience" should be able to configure this dashboard in minutes. My 9 year old brother would need half an hour to configure this...
