I make some fix in gui, but my changes not apply (if i refresh page). How i can see my change? Maybe i can disable any cache to develop-debug process? How i can do it?

[ruslan-gennadievich]

11) Reload all services

Maybe some body have more true way?)

What exactly did you change?

I want to create new plugin, so i change some files in /usr/local/opnsense/mvc

I use this doc https://docs.opnsense.org/development/frontend/models_design.html

Not specific enough.

[ruslan-gennadievich]

For example, i edit src/opnsense/mvc/app/models/OPNsense/MyModule/Menu/Menu.xml

How i can see any changes? How i can disable all cache??

[franco]

Aha, that is better...

/usr/local/etc/rc.configure_plugins will refresh the menu and ACL cache as well as restarting syslog.

It is the standard hook for the plugin framework executed on +POST_INSTALL:

https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/blob/master/Templates/configure

This is why we try to provide an automatic plugin framework because it will give you less headache. ;)

Thank you) Add this to Develop Documentation, please :)

[franco]

Just use the plugin framework and you're good... There's no reason not to unless you are modifying core which also provides similar Makefile glue and post-install hooks...


Cheers,
