It is. The current "alternate page" system is a rather ugly hack I did
for Big Brother back in the days when Hobbit was just generating some
webpages through the bbgen tool - it really just does a dynamic re-write
of the bb-hosts file when it is loaded into bbgen for generating the
overview web pages.
You'll probably also see the wrong location on the "info" status page
for your hosts.
Yes.
Hobbit has never really been aware that a host can appear on different
pages, depending on the page-set you use. I need to implement that, but
it will require adding the page-set as a parameter for all of the
dynamically generated webpages.
OK, I see.
I guess there are too many issues with using alternate pages that I'll
drop using them for now, and rather use two installations or even two
machines.
* The Help-menu assumes that hobbit-URL is /hobbit, which is not the
case for me at least, so I put an alias for /hobbit/ in my apache
config.
Hmm - it shouldn't. The URL for the help system is configured into the
menu_items.js file when you build Hobbit. Perhaps you configured it for
/hobbit/ the first time ? Since this file is end-user configurable, it
will not be overwritten when you upgrade or re-install Hobbit.
I installed the debian package from
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/hobbit-client_4.2-alfa-20060423_i386.deb
I did find the menu_items.js and edited it (and added some more shortcuts
that are usefull for us), so no problem :)
* Missing manpages:
/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/hobbit-confreport.cgi.1.html
/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/hobbit-statusreport.cgi.1.html
/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/hobbit-ackinfo.cgi.1.html
/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/hobbit-nkview.cgi.1.html
/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/hobbit-nkedit.cgi.8.html
(the latter should probably be in man8 anyhow, I guess)
Yep, these are on my list of missing docs.
OK :)
* I'm probably stupid or lazy, but I cant make any sense of the NK
editor, nothing happens when I try to use it, and the man pages are
missing. My /etc/hobbit/hobbit-nkview.cfg exists and is writeable for
the webserver, the search button gives no results, and the apache log
doesnt say much either. Any tip?
I'll add some examples of how to use it in the docs. Probably as an HTML
document with some screen-shots.
Great!
