Bug?: Can't edit aliases

[waxhead]

Probably doesn't work at all on windows 95 then, also I cannot drive my car on leaded fuel. I have a lot of clients who are going to be extremely upset when they go back their offices ( eventually ) and find that their nice GUIs which used flash are no longer going to work, progress sucks! :

Several choices of themes now to play with.

Yeah there are good themes such as the tukan theme which I use to make things a bit more visible. For me this works better than the default.

Regarding the rest of your comment - do you see the irony in your own argument here? What you are describing is exactly what I am advocating against. You joke about people getting upset when their flash based GUI don't work anymore. This is precisely my point.

More often than not dependencies are evil, horrible and make you smell funny too, and you should avoid them as much as possible, when possible, if possible. At some point your fancy library that promised you everlasting love suddenly hates you and things you depended on is no longer supported or wrecks compatibility. A web GUI should be as simple as possible, preferably even without javascript with the odd exception of updating a div every now and then. So in my little playworld I would rather say that progress in this particular case would be no need for dependencies.

Forget it, this war is long lost. They run "security appliances" as virtual machines on hardware nobody can control. Go home, make peace, everything is broken. Literally...

You misunderstand, I was being ironic. I have zero issues with obsolescence,  I will always be amongst the first in the queue to update, however there is the the expression 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'.


As far as HTML is concerned there have been and will continue to be changes made that make older browsers break, it's the nature of the beast. I use Chrome & Edge both which update automatically. I also have Firefox, which is there but I rarely use. Would I use IE? Not likely.


Technology moves on and so must we. As for my clients, they'll have to update their systems; in the context of flash it was insecure anyway so it's a good thing, also good as they'll need to dip into their pockets.

Apparently I am not able to edit aliases by clicking the pen like button (Firewall->Aliases->existing alias->pen icon)

I tried in two different browsers , SeaMonkey 2.54 (daily driver) and Chromium v83 with the same result. Also ran System->Firmware->Updates->Audit->Health which I assume checks that all files are ok and don't have checksum errors...
I tested this with both the tukan theme (which I use by default) and the OPNsensedefault theme.

Is it just me or do others have this problem as well?

Just edited an alias, no problems.

Tokenize 1.3.3 update added string.replaceAll use apparently https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/4035a2f9552a

We will try to work around it if feasible for 21.1.1.

Did a quick test and the workaround seems to work perfectly (so far). Thanks a bunch!
