Ignore that one, reinstall again, I have reverted the change... not enough testing done. I need to take holiday from work or something, to fix some stuff and add requests properly.

Thanks for your work on this plugin to make it compatible with unraid 7.
I have just revert back and is working now again :)

Yes. @VladoPortos said he sent it to @Squid on the 13th. No idea what happened after that. Hopefully they will chime in with an update.

Yes,and @VladoPortos needs to create a template repository with the xml pointed at the plugin.  

This conversation makes me uneasy with the progress of this plugin. :D

I mean don't get me wrong, someone takes over, then is not taking much part in the discussion about the evolution of what he has taken over, Squid publicly points out what has to be done (where someone would expect the guy who took over to reach Squid and push and silently resolve whatever issue to make it to Apps), then someone elese (not the guy who took over?) replies... looks weird.
Maybe I just misunderstood what is happening though.
Anyway. I guess this is what happens sometimes with free things.

Hope for the best, to me (and my own setups) is not super vital, but it is functionality that could be "stock" functionality of UNRAID.

As much as I would love to take more active role, I simply do not have that much time. 

I have created the file @Squid required and its in the repo, I messaged them about it but not get any response... I might did it wrong, but I'm not sure, I asked at march 20th if there is anything else to do.. but no response...

Thanks for the reply, of course Real Life (tm) takes precedence.

My fear when @VladoPortos stepped up to make the plugin work with unRAID 7 made me uneasy from the start. He did the good-guy thing and made it work, but then everyone kinda latched on to him as the "savior of the plugin." I questioned right away whether he had signed up for that. And I certainly DO NOT blame him if he doesn't want to or can't take it on. A plugin that serves such an integral task and with a plethora of passionate users is not an easy task by any means.

 

So, I'm not sure how the position for new FolderView maintainer is advertised. I'm not sure how long the current working plugin will continue to do so as unRAID 7.1 and beyond comes out (It's already missing a couple features from the previous version - like the autostart order indicator). The plugin will need a maintainer(s) or we can kiss our precious container organization goodbye. :-D 

 

Hopefully there are enough knowledgeable FolderView users that can keep it going through PRs, etc. @VladoPortos will have to decide if he wants to own the repo that others contribute to.

Again, serious kudos to you, sir, for getting it working again!

Edited by Mattaton

I'm going to re-emphasize a prior point:, so as to beat the drum:

 

 This functionality should be rolled into the native Unraid product.  It's a perfect compliment and progression.

 

And, I'll also add my thanks to @VladoPortos for re-establishing the functionality!

...when it is released in "Apps" (hopefully), else is for few of us willing to manually install (which I suspect is a tiny percentage of UNRAID users).

 

Any chance you can add Tailscale support so that there is a way to click on something to open the tailscale url?

Right now, you're lucky it's even working. Probably going to be a while before we see new features added. 

Read back a few posts and you'll see what I mean.

Hi Guys,
first great work, but I have found a "visual" bug. If you use the compose plugin and ceate a stack like this the actions are moved down so you can see it and click it.


grafik.thumb.png.1e82e49e9fd50fe47f782f15532e50b7.png

I have found if you use a stack it "will be displayed".

.....<span class="state">started<br>Compose Stack: elasticsearch</span>.......

This html code is used for the first red rectangles.
If you remove the <br>Comose stack .... if will works like usal.

The compose plugin ssem to generate the Compose Stack ... output (last red rectangle)

Maybe it can be fixed in a future release?

best regards
Messias

Edited by Messias

Hi!

thanks to @VladoPortos for making the plugin working again.

I have the same issue with compose dockers reported in previous message by @Messias, please @VladoPortos help us adding the changes suggested by him when you have some spare time, and thanks again for your work.

 

As others said I think this plugin should be part of Unraid product!! It has been widely promoted by SpaceInvader in his videos, now it's not working and in the Apps it's a broken version!!! Please @Squid help us to get this working, at last the current fixed version.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

 

Ok guys/girls looks like I will finally have some free time next week.
 

Order of business:
1 -  Get the plugin back to store ( We might need to create new forum post just for it, not sure what else we missing )

2 - Fix bugs / visual issues 
3 - New features, depends how the rest will go.

It still works fine on 6.12. Just don't update it to the latest version. Just stay on 2024.10.02.

Works the same as it always has on my 6.12.15.

 

eh? Is it possible to install a specific version now (I uninstalled)? from where? and how do I stop it auto-updating? (please!)

A lot has transpired since I posted that. And I was wrong when I said it. It worked as long as you didn't try to edit or add a folder. 

 

But now, the only working option is the one from @VladoPortos that can currently only be installed manually and only on unRAID 7+.

 

I think there's a pinned post with instructions on how to do so.

I've discovered that there are other CSS issues with the current release.

 

When opening the UR UI on my Samsung tablet, nothing shows in the page regarding inner content.

 

Desktop PC and mobile are ok; the in-between media query sizes are somehow messing up.

*** I just noticed that the main dashboard is showing "Dashboard Folders" for some reason.

So, your MAIN tab is blank too? I didn't realize FolderView did anything to the MAIN tab.
