[Plugin] FolderView

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

Yes it is, I don't think it's supposed to affect any page other than "/docker". I mentioned at the end of the post that I noticed it added a header "Dashboard Folders" which is not present when pulling up the main page on a PC.

 

That leads me to think the CSS is not specific enough, locking it to only the /docker URL but also the mediaquery has issues with breakpoints.

Well, the DASHBOARD tab/page is affected by FolderView, but you also showed a screenshot of the MAIN tab/page. That's the one I'm wondering about. It doesn't just affect the /docker page since it handles the Docker and VM sections of the dashboard too. But I don't know why it's affecting the MAIN page. But, you're right, if it is affecting the MAIN page, then yes the CSS specificity needs to be tweaked.

It's a shame that after I installed new containers I realized that there was no way to add them to the folder properly, and it's been a long time since I've updated the plugin. This plugin is really great when there are a lot of containers installed, the so hopefully it'll be back to normal soon!

Do you not have the ability to edit the folder on the docker page and then toggle the switch on the containers you want to add to that folder?

@aglyons No, running 7.0.1 here (on a couple of boxes) and for a while now you can open the Edit option for a Folder, but when you go to the section with the switches against different Dockers to add them into a folder, that section is bare.

 

Here's the view of an existing FolderView group, and what it shows when you click edit:

 

image.thumb.png.1a534049aa6c3e905c33f621dd7edc72.png

Note: This is an NOT a new FolderView / group trying to create from scratch, this is a long existing group that when you try edit it, everything appears blank and you can't edit it. 

 

I've just tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin and it makes no difference. It is possible to import the existing settings/groups, but you can't edit/update them in the WebGUI.

Are you installing the plug-in from Community Apps or the manual install of @VladoPortosnew fork of FolderView?

The one on CA is broken and abandoned by the original maintainer. They're working toward getting the new version on CA, but it hasn't happened yet.

See the last pinned post if you want to manually install the new version. If not, you'll have to wait for it to be on CA.

Ok kids and wyfu dropped off to grandparents, tomorrow I will make new forum ( I think we need that ) rename the plugin to something like FolderView2 and apply for store listing again. Then I'm free to hopefully fix major issues first....

Agreed on the new thread. Hopefully that will remove some of the confusion concerning old versus new.

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

There are 2x PRs that both address this in different ways.  I went with a CSS only and JohannesHo went with a JS approach.  Both work.

My CSS approach - I also lined up the containers so they're all the same size.  It's not the prettiest CSS but it works :)

Thanks I hadn't seen that. Updated to the new version and it works fine.

 

BTW would anyone know if there's a way to have folder groups wrap to 2 rows? Currently when I have a bunch of dockers in a folder group it reaches a point where it can only display 6-7 and then any more than that don't appear in the box showing their status.

 

TIA.

May I suggest - docker-foldes instead - folder-view has never been a good name since it for me relates to the filesystem.

I would agree, but its too late :D I just finished updating everything to Folder.View2, created support forum (not in correct place yet, it have to be moved by Squid) + messaged Squid about the changes. Also Folder.View was used for so long people are more familiar with the name, and videos on YT and link on web refer to it, so it might be easier to find the updated version if the name is the same. But I agree with your point.

The Docker Folders plug-in was the predecessor to FolderView, but people adopted FolderView easily once CA showed Docker Folders as deprecated and pointed users to FolderView. 🙂

But I see nothing wrong with keeping the FolderView name either. 🙂

Thanks for picking it up and running with it!

I don't care even if it is called Pinocchio.

As long as it gets released in CA and maintained. :D

 

So, please let us know the new name of Pinocchio (credit to @NLS) or what you decided... Because this night I a warning in Fix Common Problems:

The plugin folder.view.plg is not known to Community Applications and is possibly incompatible with your server

It is very innovative and unexpected "Folder.View2" :D The new support forum is here 

 But it needs to be moved by Squid in correct section.  I dropped him message yesterday and I think I made all the changes required to have it in CA. So we need to wait a little, I'm sure he is busy.

Is this still working? I can't find it in the apps.

Check the last pinned post. 

It's in flux between developers at the moment. The install procedure is not as straight forward

Easiest possible path to get updated to the @VladoPortos version until it is added to Community Apps is:

 

  1. Go to FolderView settings (under the SETTINGS tab), click the EXPORT ALL button to export all folder settings to a Docker.json file. (If you use FolderView for VMs, scroll down to do the same for VMs)
    Screenshot2025-03-12112626_export.thumb.png.d6716cb3bc157821edb9fe12a6eaa9e5.png
  2. If you have any custom CSS styles (or scripts), make sure you back those up. They are stored here: flash/config/plugins/folder.view/styles
    (You can get there quickly by clicking the OPEN FILE MANAGER button at the top of FolderView settings)
  3. Uninstall FolderView plugin
  4. Update unRAID to latest version (if you haven't already)
  5. Install @VladoPortos plugin by going to the plugins tab, clicking the Install Plugin tab, and pasting in the plugin's url:
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VladoPortos/folder.view/refs/heads/main/folder.view.plg (thanks @fr500)
    Then click INSTALL button.
    Screenshot2025-03-12112853.png.71eb389f5651a6a5d054895dcedcd0a9.png
  6. After the plugin is installed, go back to FolderView settings and click IMPORT button. Choose the file you exported in step 1.
    Screenshot2025-03-12112626.thumb.png.ce4c40766a3ab671d285e000fcf9c2e8.png
  7. This should have your folders set up again - if you had any custom styles, copy those back to flash/config/plugins/folder.view/styles in the same folder structure as they were before.

 

That should have you back to normal. The only thing I have noticed (so far) that is "wrong," is that the pentagon icon that shows when the autostart order does not match is missing.

 

Before: Screenshot2025-03-12113132.png.e52ef6d009cf870779a7002af666cdf5.png

 

After: Screenshot2025-03-12113146.png.70fd649bc4e6acc6b4c559c6e558040e.png

 

FYI: It appears the name changed to folder view 2 so the link does not work for the install. This appears to be the correct one from the github:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VladoPortos/folder.view2/refs/heads/main/folder.view2.plg

Is there anyway to get this to display they containers on multiple lines?  I just upgraded from 6.11.5 and had Docker Folders.  There was an option for that. I am not seeing that here.  I'd like for it to show all the containers in a folder in multiple lines rather limit to one line and but off the rest. Maybe I am overlooking that setting?

No setting for that in FolderView.

The plug-in is moving to a new developer. Once it is settled and working properly again, we can start asking for new features like this one.

There's also a new forum thread for the new plug-in development/support.
