Dashboard for Nextcloud by flost and Holger (was: Anyone in for an Overview / Dashboard / Start page app?)

@BernhardPosselt
I would like to upload my beta version to the appstore / ab appstore but I must confess that I did not understand, which appstore!
Is there already an appstore and where can I find it and where can I get the login information from or do I have to set up my own appstore?

To the best of my knowledge, there is no NC appstore yet. But I might stand corrected.

The installation of version 1.9.1 beta works for me: after activating I’m forwarded to a update page and all wents smoothly.

One thing I noticed: I cannot configure the clock widget. Clicking on settings has no respsonse whatsoever. Bitcoin settings for example works.

I have configured my clock as double size widget (1x2) May this cause a problem? Settings of other 1x1 widgets work and can be modified.

Holger_Dehnhardt · July 17, 2016, 6:59pm

I tested switching the clock to 1x2 which worked without any drawback. I still can configure it and can switch back to 1x1.
Any errors in the log?

I’m not @John but I have the same problem.

Could not find resource file "/apps/dashboard/…"

I have all 3rd party apps in /apps2/….

Holger_Dehnhardt · July 17, 2016, 7:55pm

@anon99252149
which resource file?
BTW: How can you configure a different app folder?

Lars_M · July 17, 2016, 8:02pm

Yes from Github. Extract from Master.zip and renamed the folder to Dashboard.

anon99252149 · July 17, 2016, 8:03pm

All style.css and script.js files of all four widgets.

github.com

nextcloud/server/blob/master/config/config.sample.php#L682-L696




/**
* By default the Nextcloud logs are sent to the ``nextcloud.log`` file in the
* default Nextcloud data directory.
* If syslogging is desired, set this parameter to ``syslog``.
* Setting this parameter to ``errorlog`` will use the PHP error_log function
* for logging.
*
* Defaults to ``file``
*/
'log_type' => 'file',


/**
* Log file path for the Nextcloud logging type.
*

/apps isn’t writable and /apps2 is writable. So I don’t lose any 3rd party app during an update.

@Holger_Dehnhardt @John use the owncloud app store for now. Although we’re actually pretty far for the first release it’s not ready yet. Here’s the progress in case you’re interested https://github.com/nextcloud/appstore/milestone/2

Apart from that I think Nextcloud integration is still missing, AFAIK devs will start to work on that at the end of this month

Holger_Dehnhardt · July 17, 2016, 8:12pm

Strange! Ist there any reason in the message or in the logs?
Can you try to set the following config variable (in config/config.php):
‘appcodechecker’ => false
What nextcloud version are you using?

calmlychilled · July 17, 2016, 8:25pm

Getting a string of these errors in the log (one for each widget):

Could not find resource file "/apps/dashboard/widgets/iframe/style.css"
Undefined offset: 0 at /var/www/html/nextcloud/lib/private/template/resourcelocator.php#119

Did the Git Clone thing to get the app and using NC 9.0.52

Holger_Dehnhardt · July 17, 2016, 8:33pm

Your app directory is differnt from apps as well?

calmlychilled · July 17, 2016, 8:36pm

No, my apps directory is /var/www/html/nextcloud/apps

anon99252149 · July 17, 2016, 8:46pm

Still the same here with all four style.css and script.js after moving all files to /apps.
But I can configure the Clock widget now.

git clone or manual upload makes no difference.

Holger_Dehnhardt · July 17, 2016, 8:54pm

@anon99252149 and @calmlychilled
could it be an issue of file rights - the path seems to point to the right resource…

Holger_Dehnhardt · July 17, 2016, 9:01pm

@anon99252149 and @calmlychilled
I’s no problem with file rights. I do have the same errors. Weird, becaus the files are found and loaded…

Lars_M · July 18, 2016, 4:50am

Didn’t work. I use this Version 9.0.52 (daily) Build:2016-07-15T23:01:02+00:00

And Dashboard 1.7.8. beta

get the same message .

John · July 18, 2016, 5:16am

The version Holger is refering to should identify itself as 1.9.1 beta. Are you sure, you have used the correct github repo then?

Holger_Dehnhardt · July 18, 2016, 6:48am

@John: Thanks for answering, John.
@all: Obviously there is something wrong with the handling of css and js files. I will try to find a solution in the next days. I also will create an issue on GitHub so we can continue the there.

nickvergessen · July 18, 2016, 8:01am

Left some comments about the API on the repo in an issue.

Holger_Dehnhardt · July 21, 2016, 8:23pm

@anon99252149; Loading widgets from different app paths should work now on. Use the GitHub code to try it.
The other error messages should be gone now as well.
@nickvergessen: with respect to your last comment I modified the source code to use the same mechanism to include css and script files - but different app pathes are now recognized.
The “special” array member can now be omitted.
@all: nickvergessen had commented the api at GitHub but he seems very busy… can anyone else show me some sample codes or explain, what exactly he means?
