Dashboard re-write - Which plugins do survive?

[chemlud]

Hy!

Read the release notes for 24.7.RC1 and found this gem:

o The dashboard has been replaced. Widgets from the old format are no longer supported and need to be rewritten by the respective authors.

Is there an overview, which widgets are available as of now? Who are the maintainers of the remaining widgets and are there any re-writes to be expected? Timelines, maybe, at least preliminary? ;-)

[franco]

As of now these are not converted:

% git grep widgets.include
dns/rfc2136/src/www/widgets/widgets/rfc2136.widget.php:require_once("widgets/include/rfc2136.inc");
net/wol/src/www/widgets/widgets/wake_on_lan.widget.php:require_once("widgets/include/wake_on_lan.inc");
sysutils/apcupsd/src/www/widgets/widgets/apcupsd.widget.php:require_once("widgets/include/apcupsd.inc");
sysutils/dmidecode/src/www/widgets/widgets/dmidecode.widget.php:require_once("widgets/include/dmidecode.inc");
sysutils/smart/src/www/widgets/widgets/smart_status.widget.php:require_once('widgets/include/smart_status.inc');

Core should replace all previous used widgets... if not feel free to complain loudly stating your use case. ;)


Cheers,

For Core I have rewritten the IPsec widgets.
And for my Caddy plugin I have written new widgets.

Thanks for reply!

The SMART thing is fun, but optional... WOL dito.

Might look into one of these plugins after initial 24.7. Tickets welcome of course.

Since last 24.7 update, I cannot see nor enable the smart widget on dashboard.
Do I have to do something else?

[franco]

For better or worse: that is the expected behaviour for the time being.

@franco
Is there a template or an already made widget for POST plugins?
I am not a coder, but, I can read the code and adapt it accordingly.

I was able to get the S.M.A.R.T results from command line by calling the API.
I need the widget because I always use old HDDs for the routers :)

EDIT: On curl it is working correctly, testin REST API I always get "invalid device name" doesn't matter what I try
