ic0n: Fresh install of storageareas has problems with the new cache busting. It's looking for a folder that doesn't exist.

yeah wokring on that now.. among other thigns. Not sure why it isn't creating the dir.

Is it meant to go /web/cache?

/usr/share/zoneminder/www/cache

Because if I manually create that it still doesn't work.

just create the dir and make it writeable by web user

It will write and stop complaining but no css loads on any page.

Missing /zm in the url. I guess that's ZM_PATH_WEB

right...

digital-gnome: permissions for the new folder ?

www-data:www-data

check current code

just pushed a fix

I dont use /zm/ now if I can

ugly default imo, suits multi use servers

I don't think that worked. It's linking to http://server/cache/blah.css and it needs to be http://server/zm/cache/blah.css

there shouldn't be a leading / anymore....

is cache_bust called to create the file or just to load?

Grabbed the wrong commit, still doesn't work. Removing the slash doesn't fix the write errors. Css/js loads now but it's not the cache buster file, just the original. And it complains of failed linking for every css/js

k, how bout now

looks like that got it

ic0n: One more. On the 25th you added some bits to web/includes/functions.php for DiskSpace and EndTime. DateTime used to change $_REQUEST['sort_field'] to StartTime, now it directly returns E.StartTime. This breaks getNearEvents in web/ajax/status.php because $event doesn't have a DateTime field.

adding $event[$_REQUEST['sort_field'] == 'DateTime' ? 'StartTime' : $_REQUEST['sort_field']] to getNearEvents fixes it but I'm not sure if the functions.php change breaks anything else.

The problem is that DateTime doesn't specify which one, start or endtime. Events have both. SO we need to find all cases of DateTime and make them more specific. While also providing backwards compatibility for old stored Filters.

Hey digital-gnome where are you located? What do you do for a living? What is motivating you to work on ZM?

ic0n: Live in Kentucky, USA. I run a small tech support business. Got working on ZM because a client wanted something cheap that doesn't require a subscription or report to some third party.

Excellent. Guess what, you are now our official ZM Support rep in Kentucky. :)

Wheee

Does it include dental?

Not at this time, but you never know.

because I grit my teeth a lot when I'm troubleshooting

hah, me too.

For nearEvents it works if a sort is actually chosen in Events. It's just that the default no longer redirects to StartTime. I think that's the only case where it's a problem. I can do a PR for that if you'd like.

We should default to sorting by Id..should be slightly more efficient and result in the same ordering.

ic0n: Turns out that sorting is configurable in WEB_EVENT_SORT_FIELD under options>web. We can change the default to ID but people can still set it to DateTime which will kill nearEvents and thus navigation. I still say fix nearEvents since it seems to be the only thing affected by this. Everything else has a high chance for side effects.

i'm a newbie, so i'll apologize in advance. i've purchased your zmNinja for android product (GREAT), and i'd love to run it on my windows desktop... but... i see where it says [It also works on Linux, Windows and Mac desktops.], but... i can't find where to download/install the windows version. [a very meek] help me.

hey asker - wake up, please. Someone asked about zmN

well... don't i feel pretty dumb. thanks.

no problem, thanks for using zmninja

digital-gnome: I don't understand how this ever worked... what if we were sorting by something OTHER than StartTime or Id?

ic0n: Every other sort works as far as I can tell. I think I have it figured--->

I just pushed a change to convert the DateTime sort_field to StartTime

Sorting by any of the other options works. The only thing that breaks nearEvents is specifically DateTime in the field. Previously we intercepted DateTime and called it StartTime then inserted it into the flow. I think only nearevents needs that so it's not showing up anywhere else.

That should work. I'll check here.

I added a LIMIT 2 to the sql for next and prev which should reduce mysql load...

ic0n: Did I make sense in the PR there? Or am I missing an option? Because I think the video export you're talking about is under the export link and it already does support videojs. If I click the export link and tell it to download everything it gets it all.

possibly. Havn't had a chance to look closely. I feel like you are right about that.
