Emoncms bug and dev list OCTOBER 2012

Thought I would try something new, keep a monthly bug and dev list here for emoncms. This will also be mirrored to the emoncms github issue tracker too.

If you can help with any of these that would be great.

If your interested in starting developing, you might want to start by looking at the application architecture page: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/312 and also the pages here: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/emoncms/development-challenges.

Bug list

Close X in blue twitter bootstrap type message box does nothing - the action is not yet coded.

Input processing
/ input - input process is not implemented correctly. It is at the moment implemented as a divide by value specified. It should be divide by the value of an input specified. http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/1064

View html source option in dashboard editor
Reinstating a feature that existed before

Import vs Export

Modules
I think this is going to be a big advance for emoncms, to rearrange the directory structure into Modules i.e feed, input processing, user, dashboard, each with their own Controller, Model and Views. This should provide a surer footing for further development, expansion and code understandability. https://github.com/openenergymonitor/emoncms3/issues/47

See: github.com/emoncms/emoncms for new modular version, see blog post: Emoncms development update: Modules

Browser faults?

Hi Trystan,

Internet Explorer 8: the dashboard designer doesn't work and the dials and cylinder are not visible - this is all I have at work so I can't keep an eye on my feeds...

Chrome: I haven't found a way to add the feed id's to Multigraph *the multigraph is configured on the API page - found it!*

Overall though it's brilliant and I love it!

Regards,

Mike

Re: Emoncms bug and dev list OCTOBER 2012

Did some digging for the IE8 and other "old" browsers that don't view the dials or graphics. Turned out that it's the behavior of the widget javascript (dial.js) that use a modern technology HTML-5 function called 'Canvas'. Canvas isn't supported (as well more HTML-5 tags) in older browsers than IE9 or old Firefox (and Chrome).

But there is a possible solution with a nice "side effect" to it. I bumped into a HTML5 feature detection tool called  Modenizr. I'ts opensource off course (also on Github) and the site: http://modernizr.com/ has a feature to make a small custom javascript for the Canvas function.

I will try to get it work for the Canvas part with IE8. But I'm not a webdeveloper, and I don't have much CSS-stylesheet experience so I don't know If I will succeed with it

Hello Larsjo, fixed the dashboard page length issue in the new modular emoncms at github.com/emoncms. Created a page length property that is saved in the database so that the page length set the first time is ok the next time in edit mode. The modular emoncms is not fully complete yet so you may want to wait a little while before upgrading.

Thanks Alco, let me know how it goes.

Really like the latest update with vis and also grouping of nodes.

Anyhow it looks like a dummy node_0 was created mixing up the feed id:s. Node_0 is at the end of the list.

Thanks Petrik, what do you mean by dummy node_0 was created mixing up the feed id:s?

Created a new bug and dev list for november here, lets carry on there: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/1299
