Getting started, basic setup not working

[johansson]

I've installed the latest beta (V3.7.3) based on the great instructions, but am having a probably simple/stupid problem: if I add no blocks or columns at all, I get all Domoticz devices as expected. If I copy-paste the basic custom layout with some of my own devices idx's, I get a blank page.

This produces a complete list of all Domoticz devices:

Code: Select all

var config = {}
config['language'] = 'en_US'; //or: en_US, de_DE, fr_FR, hu_HU, it_IT, pt_PT, sv_SV
config['domoticz_ip'] = 'http://***.***.***.***:***';
config['domoticz_refresh'] = '5';
config['dashticz_refresh'] = '60';
config['user_name'] = '****';
config['pass_word'] = '****';

Just the connection stuff in custom.js

But when adding example blocks & columns, just a blank screen is shown:

Code: Select all

var config = {}
config['language'] = 'en_US'; //or: en_US, de_DE, fr_FR, hu_HU, it_IT, pt_PT, sv_SV
config['domoticz_ip'] = 'http://***.***.***.***:***';
config['domoticz_refresh'] = '5';
config['dashticz_refresh'] = '60';
config['user_name'] = '****';
config['pass_word'] = '****';

//config['use_favorites'] = 0; //Request all Domoticz Devices, not only favorites
//config['auto_positioning'] = 0; // Use 0 this if you have defined your own columns

//Definition of blocks
blocks = {}
blocks[3] = {
  width: 6
}

blocks[34] = {
  width: 6
}

//Definition of columns
columns = {}
columns[1] = {
  //In this example: No blocks are defined in this column
  //This column will be empty
  width: 4
}
columns[2] = {
  blocks : [3, 34],
  width: 8
}

//Definition of screens
screens = {}
screens[1] = {
  columns: [1, 2]
  }

Blank screen with blocks in custom.js

Cannot figure out what's going on, probably too simple but I'm lost - any pointers?

I guess device 3 and 34 are not marked as favorite in Domoticz.

Remove the two slashes before the config parameter, like this:

Code: Select all

config['use_favorites'] = 0;

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately no help - one of the other was marked as favorite, the other one not. Choosing two non-favorite ones and removing the slashes had no impact, neither did two favorites with or without the slashes. I'm sure the solution is obvious, but I'm just missing something.

[Lokonli]

There is a bug in beta: Each column must have a parameter 'block'
The block array can be empty, like this:

Code: Select all

columns[1] = {
   blocks: [],
   width: 4
}

but the blocks parameter must be present.

Indeed, that was it - great, thanks! Now at least (only) the test devices are seen in Dashticz.
