Simplezoom and co: different behavior depending on editing from server (localhost) or from client :-(

Submitted by brutzler on Sat, 16/08/2014 - 07:56

Hi,

actually working with emoncms 8.3.5 on my "W7-home-server"

I made a "simplezoom"-visualisation in a dashboard.

Its working fine, if I open the dashboard with a browser on the computer, where wamp is installed. Opening the dashboard with a browser on a different Computer via my intranet, all other widgets are displayed, but not the simplezoom-widget.

--> firefox is not able to make a connection to localhost.

Sounds like it is looking on the wrong machine. Looking with <"inspect item"> (right mousebutton and Q on the firefox), I see, that there is a codeline, that has "localhost" instead of the IP-adress of the emoncms-server.

I appended a screenshot.

EDIT:
Changing online in the console the text "localhost" to "192.168.1.2" (that's the IP-adesss of my server), the simplezoom is displayed.

EDIT 2:
Tried 2 different PCs. Always the same problem.

Hi,

spent 5 hours on that "problem", and have new infos:

I have seen, that the "src="http://......." is stored in the dashboard table in the mysql database.

And now the funny thing:

1.) editing the dashboard from a browser on my server (where wamp and emoncms is running)->

2.) editing the dashboard from a browser on a network-client ->

After figured out this, it is obviously, why the visualisation was only running on the server.

==> Is there something wrong on my server, or can anybody else confirm this issue???

And this means, you cannot import/export this dashboards on different servers??

EDIT:

My "mistake" was, that i opended emoncms on the server with "localhost/emoncms" For the future I will strictly use the IP-adress and take distance from "localhost"

If you want it to work on a local host or on a other computer you can edit your dashboard and remove http://ip and let only the /emoncms/...

This has been flagged up before, and is due to emoncms using absolute url's instead of relative url's.
