When updating to 2024.10.27 the updates completes as expected and the "Done" button appears - it no longer navigated to the settings page during upgrade like it did with 2024.10.26 for me.

 

The update windows states now that the existing database (that I restored from a backup) didn't need an upgrade.

 

After the update the settings page of the plugin worked out of the box. The dashboard however was broken (empty) again.

Going to the "Configuration" page in the plugin settings and clicking "Save" without actually changing anything fixed the dashboard again. Maybe my old database was missing some settings-migrations from the broken update to 2024.10.26?

 

So far everything is working now

 

Found the following new warning in the PHP log - maybe related to the initial empty Dashboard?

[27-Oct-2024 12:56:43 Europe/Berlin] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Failed opening required '/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/disklocation/pages/styles/signals.css' (include_path='.:/usr/local/emhttp') in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/include/DefaultPageLayout.php(715) : eval()'d code:61

I updated the plugin a bit again:

Commit #331 - BUG: (Update 1337) Used wrong datatype in the database for a new function, might have caused an issue where you must manually save the config again.

 

I think this might have caused the issue, the other one you refers to there, should have been fixed in the last installer script.

 

You will see a new database will be updated due to faulty datatype.

@FlamongOle Is it possible that the Unraid dashboard is a white page without showning anything after the latest plugin update?

OK, restoring database from old version did not the trick, but as SuperMario86 suggested, the led style change did return the dashboard to normal behaviour.

I have removed Disk Location plug-in and have a much better view of the world (well... the dashboard, at least).

I updated again - installer now mentioned "Database successfully updated" - Dashboard was directly working after the update. 👍

My dashboard is back.  It looks like by drive data is there under information but they show blank on the tray screen.

Same here.

Just go into the plugin on the configuration tab and pick  any boxes to be displayed from "Visible Frontpage Information" be sure to save to take effect.

That did the trick.  Many thanks!!

go into settings of disklocation and update the settings, this fix worked for me

@FlamongOle:  I've reinstalled it and it's working great!  Thanks for the quick response at squashing these bugs.

Just chiming in, I was able to install and then restore from a previous backup. Seems to be working fine now. Thanks @FlamongOle!

I was able to fix the Dashboard issue by changing the LED signals from Dynamic to Static, then refreshed and changed them back to Dynamic

Update 2024.10.28

• Commit #334 - BUG: Found the root cause of the blank dashboard issue. A file got symlinked with "null" instead of the actual file (duplicate of #328 and #333).

Nothing more than that.

what was/is the default information that were visible on the dashboard/front page of unraid web-ui for the disk location plugin before it went all "blank"?

There's no real default here, pick whatever you like.

 

Newest implementations are the icons, which "default" to "Unraid", and LEDs to "dynamic". However, "static" would be more default Unraid system wise.

ok, sorry for beeing unclear about what i meant. 

what i meant was that before i updated, every drive on the dashboard had information. Information that i no longer remember what they were, but information that i hadnt changed at all, so it was "default" when i first installed the plugin. And after the update i now have rectangular boxes with no information at all except the colors filling the boxes (see the image). So, its the information that every box had before updating that i want back.

No real defaults there either, just choose whatever feels important.

 

Anyway, what's initial set is listed in the code here:

So, my drives show up correctly in the settings and information.  I have selected options under visible front page information, did a ctrl - F5 and the dashboard is still blank.  I even tried the suggestion that I change the LED signals from Dynamic to static and back to dynamic (with a ctrk F5 in between. 

 

To clarify the dashboard icons don't show any data when I hover over them like they use to.

 

I guess I am lost.  How to I restore the section on the dashboard to show information again?

Did you try to restore a backup?

I have not tried to restore from a back-up.  Is that the recommended option?

Can't hurt if you can't find the solution by saving the configuration, dunno what's going on there as I can replicate it myself

Hi - I have ben using disk location for while and really like it. Is there any way to add additional columns to the sets of tables? For example, the main user editable field is "Comment" which I use for some information for each disk. I'd love to be able to add additional tables / columns with any title I need. Such as "Connected Controller", "Contoller Port Number", etc, etc. Is there any way to do this, or any way you could implement it in the future? Thanks,

Maybe in the future. Connected controller and port number should be described with the "Path"/device.

 

From lsscsi --help:

<h:c:t:l>         Meaning:
                     <host_num:controller:target:lun>

And for NVMe:
                     <'N':ctl_num:cntlid:namespace_id>

 

Table sorting: "device" is the option to show this information. Otherwise it is "Path" under "Visible Frontpage Information"

INFO 2024.11.12:

Disk Location plugin is tested and should be functioning under Unraid 7.0.0-beta4.

 

Plugin has been tested during upgrade from Unraid 6.12.12 -> 6.12.13 -> 7.0.0-beta4 with current Disk Location version 2024.10.28, including migration from older databases and settings.

 

If you have issues with the plugin, it's likely not related to Unraid upgrade.

 

There has been some issues out there with faulty/empty information on the Dashboard/Frontpage of the plugin. Restore from previous backup, then execute "Force update all" from the System tab.

Thanks - I recognised that was there but wasn't sure of the decode, so I'll see if that helps me ID / track all of my disks.

I still think it would be great to add custom fields, for whatever we want; I've recent added SMR / CMR to the single comment field, but would be great to add multiple custom fields as required. Thanks and keep up the great work!
