Hello Alex,

Is there a possibility to modify the web interface?

I would like to change the header text and remove the buttons, Stop Monitor Reload HH…
I also want to remove the toolbar with the buttons, Preferences, Mark all, etc…
I would like to do that, because I want to implement this page in or Helpdesk application (web based) so that the helpdesk and users can check the status from the network.
If possible I also want to change to colors from the web interface

Thanks in advance

Danny Mertens

No, you cannot modify web interface this way. But looks like you don't need web service. You may use configurable HTML reports.

Hello Alex,

I use this function already, but in the website I have the possibility to click on the items and then I get more info over the test, this is very handy for my users and helpdesk, is this also possible in a HTML report?

I like also the tree in the web interface because I have a lot of tests in different folders, sorted on service or server, is very handy to get an quick overview, for instance I have a folder with printer tests, in the web interface you can quickly filter this, I don’t think this is possibly in an HTML report?

Thanks in advance,

Danny

No, I don't think so.

Its possible. You need to create separate reports for each folder (to setup this option use Folder Properties dialog) and you need to create HTML file with list of folders and with links to the reports.
But if you have a lot of folders or you are changing folder structure frequently, this is heavy solution...

About web interfaces:

You can use special links to display some parts of web interface in your helpdesk application:
- http://<address of the web service>/folders.htm
this link will retrieve and display folders tree
- http://<address of the web service>/tests.cgi
this link provides access to list of tests

Following HTML code can be used to display folders and tests (no start/stop/reload buttons).

Code: Select all

<html><head><title>Web Interface</title><meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"></head>
<frameset cols="230,*">    
  <frame name="folders" target="folders" src="http://127.0.0.1/folders.htm" scrolling="yes" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">   
  <frame name="tests" target="tests"  src="http://127.0.0.1/tests.cgi" scrolling="yes" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">      
</frameset>
<noframes>   <body>   <p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>   </body>  </noframes>
</html>

Of course you should use address of the system where Web Service is installed instead of 127.0.0.1

But you may experience some difficulties. E.g. if you click on folder, _top frame will be reloaded and you will see standard interface again...

Alex

Hi Danny,

Perhaps you could give the helpdesk another account to lock in with, without rights to change anything?
