The RRD graphs are embedded in an iframe tag.
Do know why? Just wondering why we put an iFrame tag around the image. Should it no be possible to reload the image without an iFrame?
Very good question. I think this is because we needed a way to change only the image and JS wasn’t an option back then. The <a> tag allowed to specify a target which changed the content of the iframe.
I would absolutely prefer to get rid of it and just use one or multiple img tags. Those would also make styling easier.
I would also prefer the image tag. But as far as I know, there is no way to change the image without javascript.
The only way I came up with is to send the values of all graphs with the request and to change to content of the img tag at the server in the Perl script. But this solution has so many culprits and couple things in a way a would like to avoid.
Therefore it is possible to refresh them periodically without reloading or changing the pages. This patch adds a graph reload javascript to the ipfire main theme.

Yes this is brilliant :)
Thanks! This time I used -annotate to fit everything in one e-mail, I'll try -compose next time.
Hi,
This is more of a nice-to-have, an idea I would like to present. As I was working on the QoS graphs, I noticed that all RRD graphs are embedded in an iframe. I wrote a little javascript that periodically reloads these graphs.
Would it not be sufficient to reload only the hourly graph? So all others have a range where I would not assume somebody to monitor them “live“.
I think the daily graph might be interesting as well. But for the other ranges I agree with you, they can be left out.
The refresh interval is based on the graph's time range, i.e. hourly graphs are refreshed more often. Reloading should stop in case of a network error, but I haven't fully tested this yet.
This patch adds a checkbox to the GUI settings (default: disabled), translations, ... If you just want to try the javascript, you can simply paste it to the html <head> in html/themes/ipfire/include/functions.pl. Be sure to escape the '$' then.
Best regards Leo

Does this actually need configuration or can we not simply enable this for everyone?
What is the downside? If the browser has JS disabled, simply nothing would happen.
I don't see any disadvantages, I just thought that some users might not like it.
Would a solution be to add a button to toogle instead? So a button next to each graph to enable something like a live mode? This would not change any existing behaviour.

Do not think that’s this makes any sense here. Should not change a pixel in this graphs :-). Why is day not listed here ?
Daily graphs would use the default (60s). I made that up on a sunday evening, there is certainly room for improvement here :)
No need to apologise here :-). Thanks for clarification.

Would it no be easier to attach this directly to a graph so inside the function which creates the graph, should be makegraphs() or something like that?
Yes, but I think this was the easiest way to do it without changing the existing iframe. If we remove the iframe, I would do it as you suggested.

- //attach onload event to graphs

Some generic thoughts. Would it not be better to remove the iFrame and make the links for hour/day/month/year firing some JavaScripts which reloads/changes the graphs? And then when we click hour start this script to reload the graphs periodically?
Agreed.
I very much like the idea and I think this is an opportunity to clean up a little bit more. I will let you two sort out the technical things and how often is best to reload :)
As I mentioned above, I would also prefer to revise that. But I think users withouth JS enabled will then no longer be able to change the graph range.
What is you attitude towards JS in general? I think for such "bonus" features like interactive graphs we can require JS and break compatibility, would you agree?
So the actual content of this mail in one big block:
First thanks for all input, things seem to be a little bit more complicated right now, but at least we can create a stable solution when we find a lot of problems before 🙂.
Regarding JavaScript in general, I first thought that this is a good question which needs an answer but after some thinking I came up with the fact that the web interface is already not working without JavaScript enabled. The zone configuration page needs JavaScript enabled, otherwise the change to VLAN does not work, as we cannot enable the field without JavaScript (tested today )
So I do not really have a problem here when we add JavaScript for Features, as this is somehow the only way to change the DOM. I do not know If it is a good idea to use JavaScript only for “bonus” features, because also validation of input fields is when it comes to more complex values, only possible with JavaScript. I would not call this a “bonus” feature. In the end we will maybe end up with two web interface which increases maintain work.
But I would like to have a general decision here to avoid talking about this over and over again. @all maybe something for the next telephone conference? Or should we made a decision right here?
Another fact which came to my mind is that our jquery version is heavily outdated and I think it makes sense to update this lib before we add further JavaScript. Otherwise an update might break scripts and causes more trouble as when we develop the scripts with a current version.
So I suggest the following plan:
1. Decision making concerning JavaScript (next steps only with positive decision) 2. Updating jquery 3. Removing the iFrame and using JS to change the images when somebody clicks on hour, day, etc 4. Adding a button for live mode
I suggest an Update every 15 sec for “hour” graphs and every 360 sec for daily. Could we add this as constants to make a change easy? And another idea: would it not be useful to have a basic value so 15 sec update interval for one hour and then just multiple this value when it comes to day, month etc? Would make introducing other time frames easier.
Thanks for your thoughts and for your time (especially Leo)
