bonienl Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 New version available If you have installed the initial version you can easily upgrade using the "plugin control page" and press update. Release notes v2.0.3 ==================== Fixed: conversion of version number Release notes v2.0.2 ==================== Fixed: non-removal of config file upon uninstall Added: upload icon in header row Added: changes notification after installation Added: reference to github for all release notes Release notes v2.0.1 ==================== Added: links to setting pages Added: display of release notes after upgrade Now a direct link to the associated settings page is available as soon as a plugin is installed, less mouse clicks to get to the essentials Another 'nifty' feature is a popup screen showing the release notes after an update is done. This feature requires Dynamix webGui v2.0.4 or higher to be installed. The webGui can also be updated through the "plugin control page" (no system reboot is required). Once "webGui" and "plugin control" are both updated this feature becomes available for all future updates and gives you a quick view at the changes. See the attachment for an example. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately there is no plugin manager which allows easy installation and removal of plugins. I started with a first step and introduce to you Dynamix Plugin Control (right-click and choose "save link as", store the PLG file in the location '/boot/config/plugins'. Do the usual thing to get this plugin installed. cd /boot/config/plugins installplg dynamix.plugin.control-2.0.3-noarch-bergware.plg This is an optional add-on you can use and it works for the moment only with Dynamix plugins (needed to start somewhere). From now on the GUI can be used to install, update and uninstall any of the Dynamix plugins. Upon opening the page, a check is done with github, and as a result the user gets a list of all available plugins - including their version - and the possibility to install or update them. Uninstalling has never been easier, though some plugins require a reboot of the system after uninstallation and have them completely unloaded on a system start. See the picture below to get an impression. Like to hear your feedback, remember this is all very fresh and should be treated as beta... it is working quite well and people are encouraged to use it!

butlerpeter Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 bonienl I get a 404 error when the plugin tries to download the dynamix.plugin.control.png file - looking on your github the file doesn't seem to be where it should Quote Link to comment

butlerpeter Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yep works now. Suggestion - in the plugin control, is it possible to have a link for each installed plugin to take you to it's settings page? For example - if I have the web server plugin installed, let me click on the "Web Server" text and take me to the web server settings, rather than me have to go Settings - Network Services - Web Server Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have this running now also. Works great so far. I have already used it to update Active Streams and System Temp, but I haven't updated webGUI to 2.0.3 yet since it says I would have to reboot. Haven't seen anything discussed about that update. What was changed? Quote Link to comment

What was changed? A reboot is only needed when a "uninstall' is done, installation and upgrading are done on-the-fly... Using the tool gave people 'suddenly' access to the most recent versions of the plugins. These are bug fixing releases with corrections of the observations of the people here. Quote Link to comment
garion Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Great, clever and clean design. Hope installed today. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 New version 2.0.1 available, see the OT. Quote Link to comment
garion Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 great idea the "changes" info inside same plugin control. All in the PC works fine. maybe order plugin by installed or no? I don't know the today order. First Webgui (ok its important) Then A-Z order plugins (installed or no) Last Plugin Control Quote Link to comment
nacat78 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 bonienl, First, I would like to say great job on the dynamix interface, i think it looks great and I finally migrated off of SF (which was working for me fine on V5), but i had to test it. I only had one problem and it was with the dynamix.log.viewer-2.0.1-noarch-bergware.plg plugin - i am getting bad download, looked for the files on github but didn't see them. Second, it it possible to keep the cache drive with the "Array Devices" page - Im not complaining just makes it easier to do screen shots of the hard drive assignments for backup records. Anyway great job will continue to test it out... Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I recommend everybody to use the "Dynamix Plugin Control" module. Firstly, it greatly simplifies the installation and maintenance of Dynamix plugins and secondly, any updates or new additions become instantly available to you. Quote Link to comment

nacat78 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Great plugin, are there any revisions going to be made for a User Plugin Page similar to you dynamix page that would include anything that was 3rd party plugins to Unraid? or is it possible to make a Plugins Tab on the Top then after you click on it you would have a tab for Dynamix Plugins and one for User Plugins...

It can be a goal to use this as a framework for all plugins, it is possible, though there a number of rules to follow to make it work. I might write a tutorial to help other developers, but ideally I like to see a "plugin manager" coming from Limetech (with our help). Quote Link to comment
jbartlett Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't see a thread for the individual plugins offered so I'll post this here. First, great job! Very professional looking. The CPU/MB temps don't display on my system while they had when using SimpleFeatures. Motherboard is an ASUS F2A85-V PRO and the CPU AMD A10-6800K Update: Just remembered that I upgraded the MB/CPU since I last ran SimpleFeatures. Quote Link to comment

I would suggest you take a look at Boiler by nicinabox, which is more of a package manager, but if it starts being widely used I suspect it will work quite nicely here. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=30827.0 Ogi Quote Link to comment
TheDragon Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm clicking update/install for several plugins (active streams, disk health, email notify) however the file that is downloaded to my flash drive is 0 bytes and doesn't contain the data that should be in the plg file. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
