Remote view on a diverent server
-
Hi,
i made a graphical presentation as an example.
I want to have the presentation on a webserver and not at the mango server at home.
i tried to locate the public_view.htm and copy that to a webserver with ftp.
I could not locate the public_view.htm and some thing inside me thinks its not the correct way to do.Does anyone know how to do this ?
Kind regards

Hi Sprokkie,
The public view always really lives on the Mango server. Where else would it get data from? You can reference a public view on another server by pointing an iframe to it. See the bottom of the help page (the question mark in the menu) for more information.

My idea was to update the page on a different server once each 5 minutes or so.
For my personal use i can log on to the mango server, its for public views
i dont want to have the traffic here at home.an update each 5 minutes wil do, i know more solarwater heaters who update the status each 5 min.
just a copy of the page wil do

You want Mango to overwrite a web page on another server every 5 minutes? Sorry, Mango won't do that for you - you'll have to craft up a script or something. If the other site has a database you can have Mango update that, and then write some PHP or whatever present the values.

If i know what page to copy, i can schedule a ftp command.
i cannot find public_view.htmlwhere is it located ?

Hi Sprokkie,
Maybe you should run mango on the webserver (in addition to your home server).
You could set up a publisher to publish the data from your home mango instance to the remote webserver mango instance.
Alternatively, you could create a 'custom view' .jsp file on your home server mango instance, and download that to your remote webserver with a program like wget.
From the 1.8 changelog:
"Custom view pages
A new approach to creating views has been added to Mango. Now you can create your own custom view pages using simple JSP tags. Simply create a JSP page in the Mango file system, and within your HTML specify the points that you want displayed where you want them. You can also display compound charts with custom plot colours. And, using javascript you can write simple scripts to set point values as well." -
i cannot find public_view.html
That is a virtual url. It maps to a jsp that dynamically renders the page. But you couldn't use something like wget to copy that either since AJAX is used to complete the rendering and maintain the values after the page loads.
Craig's ideas are good. You should look into one of those.

Hi
I think if you want to set this up you need Apache on your webserver and use that to feed off of Tomcat they are designed to work together. I have tried this but failed miserably and went back to just accessing tomcat.
