Dashticz - Save CONFIG.js automatically with PHP

[robgeerts]

In latest BETA-version, the config will be saved automatically to CONFIG.js with PHP.
Please backup your config.js

Make sure your CONFIG.js is writable.
If it doesnt save the file, you will still get the screen where you can copy the config!

Wow, nice work. Going to try it in a moment. You had a good vacation?

Just tested:
1) When clicking the settings icon and clicking save it saves so this is good
2) When going into EDIT mode my changes aren`t save to the config file and still have to this manually

[EdwinK]

It doesn't seem to save. If I change anything in settings and click 'save', the page refreshes, but no changes visible. I do believe I have PHP enabled on the webserver.

[robgeerts]

You do believe or are you sure?
And is the file writable (chmod)

[pvm]

Nice job, did a quick test by changing the dashboard title, that works.
Changing contents of the dashboard by f.e. adding a clock is not saved (beta version downloaded today ("Latest commit 957b89e 2 days ago"))
I started from default installation with only the correct IP set. After the first test I also tried to change config['auto_positioning'] to 0 (was on 1 before), but that also did not solve the issue. Will it be possible to switch auto_positioning from the web-config-interface in the future?

(for users with issues, I'm running Dashticz on my Synology nas, made the file write-able for the 'http' user by right clicking on the file in 'File Station')

You mean, like this?

Yes, hope it helps you. Can you change the dashboard title now?

[EdwinK]

Nope. Tried, but nothing changes.
Maybe it's the PHP version I'm using. It's 5.6 (if I'm not mistaken) on Synology.

[EdwinK]

It does seem to change the config.js file, but doesn't show when page is reloaded. Something to figure out next time.

Reading through the config.js file, it looks like all config blocks are there at least twice (last count 5 times, because I tried it several times), one with the new settings, and below that are the old settings. So, first the title is defined as Control-Center, but... in the second (old) part the title is defined as ControlCenter. I think the latest read by the browser is what it is going to use for the page.

And everytime I save the from the webbrowser a new block like this is added

[robgeerts]

Could you send me your complete config.js?

[pvm]

I do not see the effect of continuous adding of blocks. I'm not able to add any blocks however.
Do I need to specify columns or should everything be possible from within the web-interface?
(when setting auto positioning to 1 i see my favorites)

When I use the chrome web-interface nothing happens when pressing save after adding some blocks. The save button in the settings screen does generate a lot of calls and a refresh op the page.
Is there any more info I can provide?

Will do.

Edit CONFIG.js and put only this and try again:

Code: Select all

var config = {}
config['domoticz_ip'] = 'http://ipnumber:port';
config['app_title'] = 'Dashticz';
config['domoticz_refresh'] = '5';
config['dashticz_refresh'] = '60';
