I'd like to try this out. Would you mind posting a pointer to some data backup/restore instructions please?

Thanks,  John.

Have you checked the user guide? - https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms/blob/master/docs/Backup.md Paul

Hi there,

I downloaded newgetdatamethod with git clone (using --branch on master git), then I downloaded development branch and then I copied Module directory from development into emoncms_new directory. (I followed this tutorial https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms/blob/Extended/docs/Upgrading.md with some adjustments), but it doesn't work. The Apps menu is appeared, but if I click on Solar PV there is a blank screen.

Why?

Thanks.

Last time I tried switching Git branches, I made a complete mess of it!

Could you give the Git commands please to switch to the 'newgetdatamethod' branch and also the reverse - to switch back to origin/master.

If I run $ git branch -a I can't even see the 'newgetdatamethod' branch...

Hi Paul

You will need to pull in the changes before switching

cd /var/www/emoncms

git pull

git checkout newgetdatamethod

cd -

and to switch back it should just be

cd /var/www/emoncms

git checkout master

cd -

although since git can be .....well, a bit of a git sometimes I would do a back-up first, just in case !

Paul

Thank you!

Thanks Paul, the problem was that the 'newgetdatamethod' branch was not visible from $ git branch -a

A bit of reading suggested $ git fetch origin which updated my local git database, and now I can see 'newgetdatamethod' and have checkout to it.

Unfortunately, the changes made between v1 & v2 of 'My Solar' have introduced an bug stopping it being displayed over https as it requests an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint and therefore the page is blocked as a security weakness.
v1 worked OK.

I've logged it as an issue on git

EDIT 14/3 - Also get an error message when viewing default graphs, but only on mobile device!
Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in /var/www/emoncms/Modules/vis/vis_controller.php on line 74
Strangely, I don't get an error message via laptop

PS - I have cleared the browser cache and cookies.

Here is a screenshot from Chrome's 'developer tools' showing the error message which appears to point back to the use of jquery-1.9.0.min.js although the first version of 'My Solar' still used that library, and yet worked fine.

Hi,

Great improvement ! 

This should allow people to download many feeds into the same CSV file in one click with all timestamps aligned and no missing point. Today, I'm wasting my time to do that in open office ... 

According to me, such a multidownload tool is a must-have feature !

The Modules/app files within development branch were updated today by Trystan, which has resolved the 2 issues that I raised above.

Works great now using https.

Paul

FYI - in the My Heatpump app the notes down the bottom state the room temp should be a feed named 'room_temp', which was how it originally worked. But the latest version is expecting 'heatpump_room_temp'.

Spent a while wondering why that one feed on the dashboard wasn't working after I upgraded!!



OK, I admit I'm a bit behind the times, but I'm hoping somebody can expand a bit further, as I'm trying to setup v8.5 and having this exact issue mentioned by Paul Reed, but on a regular laptop computer:

The setup I have is probably as basic as possible, as I've just followed the instructions ( https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms/blob/master/docs/WindowsInstall.md) to set up the "Test" database and used the method in Step 10: http://localhost/emoncms/input/post.json?node=1&csv=100,200,300

And then I get that same error message when I try to look at the graph using the eye choice.  But the graph itself seems to be correct.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you switch to the 8.5.1 Extended branch, the error is not present.
I don't know what has changed between 8.5 & 8.5.1 Extended - maybe Chaveiro fixed it.

Paul

Thank you very much Paul!

I did the one that was suggested, as opposed to the cutting edge one.  And you'll understand why when I ask the ridiculously basic question, is the emoncms-8.5.zip file from https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms the right one?  It says 8.5, not 8.5.1 and actually the apparently emoncms version 8.5.0 is listed as emoncms-master.zip, so rather than just possibly wreck what I've already done I thought I'd ask.

Also, while asking ridiculously basic questions, what are the "branches" and "commits" although I guess they are things that have been approved for the main program it'd be nice to know definitely.

Thanks again for all the newbie help!

See this link for branches & commits.

As far as I'm aware, the current master version is 8.4, the 8.5 version is, well 8.5.0, and the Extended version is 8.5.1 XT.

In all honesty, I've found the Extended version much less buggy that the 8.5 version (mainly due to the efforts of Chaveiro), and it appears very stable and well supported in the forum.

Paul

Thanks again Paul.

However, I guess I'm never going to be on the cutting edge, as after I figured out about the branches and downloaded the Extended Version 8.5.1 XT, there were two errors with the basic graph, the original error and a new one.

So I just switched back to the regular 8.5.0.

I don't think it is anything I've done wrong, and it seem I have a basic setup with Window 8.0, but I don't know if anybody wants to investigate further.

When you updated to the extended version, did you clear your browser cache?
I'm running the extended branch out of the box, and don't see any errors.

Paul
