Feature request: DESCR popup
Hi Hobbit's,
I would like to raise a litle feature request:
I like the functionality that when you hook the mousepointer over a dot a small box pops up and displays information in the form column:color:duration.
I (and also a lot of people in my company) would like to see this also for the hostname links. If a DESCR tag is in the bb-hosts file for this host it's content should be displayed in the little pop-up box. This way it's not necessary to view the info column each time to get this info.
I think it can be done by inserting an "ALT" html-tag in the page source-code. I looked into the pagegen.c and other modules but I didn't find the right place to hook in. And unfortunately I'm pretty poor in C programing.
Can someone give me a tip or is someone even able to code this (Henrik?)
Thanks Johann
Feel free to take a whack at it -- it can be done in Java script.

There are several places, actually. The easiest thing to do is look at the page you want to modify, in the source. Each section has a div or a table separating the rest of it, usually labeled. For instance, on the bb2 page, the table has a SUMMARY of "Group Block" (this might be what we modified it to, but I was pretty sure it was in the base source as that).
Do a grep "Group Block" * while in the bbdisplay source directory
That will tell you what line that appears in, and that will be the function defining how that section is generated. Find the image tag, put an ALT and a TITLE in there, and you should be golden. Modify other sections accordingly.

We actually made a patch against the code to show the COMMENT tag with the host name.
So, if your config line looks like 192.168.1.99 wormhole.localdomain.com # fgtses COMMENT:"Firewall"
You get wormhole.localdomain.com (Firewall)
on your web pages.
I can see about generating a patch against 4.2.1, but we have some other features we added as well.

Our installation does that as well (4.2.0) but we made no modifications in that regard. Maybe the COMMENT functionality was adjusted recently, or your patch was incorporated?

The COMMENT tag is working well. But the COMMENT is displayed next to the hostname. I want the DESCR to be displayed in a tooltip box. I've searched and found a little java script which generates a tooltip box. It uses the onMouseOver event.
<script type="text/javascript" src="wz_tooltip.js"></script>
<a href="index.htm" onmouseover="Tip('Some Text')">Startpage</a>
My problem is how to read the DESCR out of the bb-hosts file and then integrate this in the html code.
Johann
Ah, I remember now... Our patch was for something different.
I manage over 400 firewalls. So we made the hostname a link to https://<IP>
Nevermind!

I hope that helps you with your issue here, but I'm told we commented all our changes (and I commented all mine). Since this is not commented with our standard, I assume this is normal code. I'm a bit too lazy to download the base 4.2.0 code and check, so maybe when I have some more time. For now, let me know if this is not what you have in your install. If you aren't at 4.2.0, maybe that's the issue =cP

I actually like the idea of the popup versus appending it (like it does now)...it saves valuable real estate that is better used to show your monitors.

OK, thanks to Marco Schoemaker's hint on how to do this in HTML, I've cooked up a patch that should do this.
Unlike Marco, I don't want to introduce yet another special tag for the tooltip. It will display the COMMENT text, or the DESCR text if there's no COMMENT defined. If neither exists, it will just display the hostname.
The attached patch is based on the current snapshot, but modified so it should work with Hobbit 4.2.0. Those on the bleeding edge version will have to wait for tonights snapshot.

Thanks a lot for this very quick implementation!!
I've tried it at my test system and it works perfect. Exactly what I had in mind when writing my mail to the list.
This (and all the others in the past) is a pretty good example of how flexible, quick and uncomplicated open source development is; espacially compared to commercial products.
Thanks again for all the contribution!

It's not working for the bb2 page. There the DESCR is displayed next to the hostname. No <span ... > </span> tag in the html source.

I did that on purpose, actually.
There are quite a few people who have the BB2 or NK/Critical systems view up on a large screen someplace where everyone can see it - but moving the mouse is not possible, because you're too far away from the screen. So on those pages I've kept the comment visible instead of using a tooltip.

What's about making this an option. E.g. in hobbitserver.cfg a new variable can control it:
BB2TOOLTIP=TRUE or FALSE
This way you can decide for yourself whether the information is displayed on the page or as a tooltip.

Can someone define what is hobbit tooltip ? I will include the answer an FAQ on hobbit wiki FAQ.

Hi Henrik, I've applied the patch using 4.2.0 + all-in-one and added COMMENT or DESCR flag under bb-hosts but no comment appears after the hostname... any idea why ?
