Thanks for your work on this Galen. I started my response the next day,
but I've been too busy to finish it until now.
Here's two fixes in one line for Xymon 4.3 (adding SECURE and with the
change of name for the cgi script):
<a class="inner"
href="$XYMONSERVERSECURECGIURL/xymnote_editor.cgi">Edit
Notes</a><span class="invis"> | </span>
Also in order to get the host link to display in the main Xymon page, with
the latest terabithia RPM installed, I had to:
$ cd /etc/xymon/data
$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/xymon/www/notes notes
I have to admit I tried to get your notes editor installed so I could take
a look at it as there were no screenshots on Xymonton. I was disappointed
that there was no toolbar for formatting text. I'm sure this is just a
minor thing, but it means I'm inclined to try this solution instead:
http://www.it-eckert.com/blog/2014/how-to-integrate-xymon-with-a-documentation-system/
I also note that the templates only apply when saving notes pages, so any
change to the template does not take effect until resaving the note page
for a host. Slightly disappointing too, but to be expected I suppose given
the location of the template.
That said, I have it all working now, so that's great.
Thanks again and kind regards,
SebA

Ok...I found several things that needed some love. It's not perfect but
it does at least run for me. The instructions could use a bit of
improvement as well. I'm not 100% sure which code notes path is
legit...may take a little playing. The new code is on github (
https://github.com/solitaryr/xymon_notes). If I can find the time, I'll
see what I can do to improve it...especially in regards to better
integration into the Xymon ecosystem. I may even see what it might take to
integrate directly into Xymon instead of an add-on...but C is a distant
memory...

Ahhh...this is one of the few scripts I rescued from Deadcat since I had
made use of it a while ago...hopefully, it's compatible with the Terabithia
rpms. I'll need to try it locally to see if I can rep what you see.

It's been a while since I even looked at that code. Let me refresh
myself on it (and push it to github as well.

Hi Galen,
I have been trying to get your Xymon Notes Editor working. I have
fixed a number of issues in the code or with your instructions, but I'm
stuck on probably the last issue.
Most of the issues may be caused by your code getting munged when you
uploaded it to Xymonton - I'm not sure. For example I needed to add a few
carriage returns:
Line 24 and before 'HTML':
Can't find string terminator "HTML" anywhere before EOF at
/usr/share/xymon/cgi-secure/bbnote_editor.cgi line 161
As well as somewhere around:
Unmatched right curly bracket at /usr/share/xymon/cgi-secure/bbnote_editor.cgi
line 46, at end of line
But I still have this error and I'm not sure where the issue really is
because this is the end of the file:
Missing right curly or square bracket at /usr/share/xymon/cgi-secure/bbnote_editor.cgi
line 234, at end of line
With the instructions, there should have been instructions to install
perl-CGI and create the www/notes directory.
Can you help with EOF right clurly or square bracket error please? And
/ or try re-uploading to Xymon, or posting a copy of the code for download
either from this list or from somewhere else. A download saves time if
anyone else wants to use this too.
Many thanks, SebA
