I just took the leap to 6.4-rc6. For some reason I still have the old webui except now it is stretched across the whole screen and looks kind of cruddy. Is there something I must do to enable the new webui?

Tools/Diagnostics - post your diagnostics.zip file.

 

Also a screenshot would be nice.

Thanks for the assistance.

No that looks right. Still some styling issues to address before 6.4 'stable' is released.

Also beware there might be plugin incompatibilities - does everything seem to work?

everything still works fine. I was just expecting to see the new UI. I've had no plugin incompatibilities so far.

You can select a couple new themes: AZURE and GRAY on Settings/Display Settings.

Thats what I was looking for! I thought this was a whole UI revamp and the old theme/style was gone. This is better than I realized. Getting the new, but keeping the old style around is nice!

 

Thanks for the info!

In this release the webGui takes the full width of the screen, whereas the previous versions had a maximum of 1280 pixels. The banners in the header are stretched from their original 1270 width to the screen width. It is possible however to set a new banner with a greater width to match the screen size.

 

What exactly do you see as "kind of cruddy"?

First thing that jumped out for me was: if you have a small number of devices, the columns under Statistics get really   w    i    d    e.

Maybe set a max-width?

Was going to point this out sooner but forgot about it

There is an easy solution ... buy more disks 

 

Previously the table would display all available slots including the empty ones, now it only shows the ones with a disk in it. Is the preference to go back to the old style?

 

Or you prefer something like this

 

The latter.

But I like your thinking...

I already thought so, see PR.

 

If there is an unassigned slot in the middle (say disk2 was not assigned), what will it show?

a) a blank column, or

b) not display that column

 

In this case I pick a)

c) it shows an unassigned disk

Not unassigned disk, unassigned slot. It is not uncommon for people to have unassigned slots in random places in their layout.

Trurl, have to disagree on the first part. The picture hides the unassigned slot, but shows the unassigned disk. Agree that people have unassigned slots in the middle though.

OK, I was confused because you answered the question about an unassigned slot by talking about an unassigned disk, so I didn't notice the hidden unassigned slot.

 

I think I agree with Tom on showing a blank coluimn, since that would better correspond to Main. Definitely don't want to hide rows in Main, since that will just confuse troubleshooters when people post screenshots. And I also think troubleshooters are likely to overlook the hidden slots in Dashboard just as I did now.

The current implementation for the Main page is to hide empty slots. This was asked many many moons ago. People using unMenu wanted the same view in the webGUI. We have this piece of code since ages...

  case 'DISK_NP':
//  Suppress empty slots to keep device list short (make this configurable?)
//  echo "<td>".device_info($disk)."</td>";
//  echo "<td colspan='9'>Not installed</td>";
//  echo "<td></td>";
    break;

The question in there was never worked on

I guess the screenshots I have seen with unassigned slots in the middle of the array were always with the array stopped.

Yeah, when the array is stopped then slots are shown, regardless of a disk is present or not.

Yes! that looks great! I would absolutely love that look compared to the stretched view.

Yes that would look great vs streched, Also need to get the Dockers text centred under the icon if that can be corrected?

 

BTW love this update looks great.
