Hi Daniel,
this plugin looks very cool!
I'm starting to realize that CGI scripts are quite handy for implementing any
sort of server-side logic for UI plugins, especially since we have Apache web
server in front of JBoss application server (Engine) in standard oVirt
installation.
Looking at the code, this plugin should work fine with oVirt 3.2.1+ since
showDialog API changes landed into 3.2.1 release.
Regarding the issue with bad dialog content - you can edit start.html and put
following code right before api.showDialog call:
window.alert(url);
This will show actual dialog content URL - you can try opening this URL
normally in browser and see what happens. My guess is that it will show same
thing as the dialog.
Important thing is, this URL points to *selected host* machine (not Engine),
i.e.
http://<hostAddress>/cgi-bin/ui-vdsm-hooks/ui-vdsm-hooks.cgi?command=<cmd>&args=<args>
This means selected host machine should have some web server like Apache
installed with necessary CGI scripts in place, i.e.
cgi-bin/ui-vdsm-hooks/ui-vdsm-hooks.cgi +
cgi-bin/ui-vdsm-hooks/scripts/vdsClientApi.py -> CGI scripts are invoked right
on given host machine.
Michael, René - can you try ^^ and let us know if you still encounter issues
with bad dialog content? What happens when you manually open dialog content URL
in browser?
Regards,
Vojtech
