Custom Dashboard inageS(s) segment/shape creation and color control...Help!

Yep, in that video I was working from a local desktop install so the file structure is a bit different. The mango install is in the /opt/mango folder so that folder you mention would actually be opt/mango/overrides/web/modules/dashboards/web.
To be honest though if you update to the latest version of Mango it is easiest to use the built in pages and menu editor as you can still use all the HTML components from the built in editable pages. You still need to use the file manager for uploading image files.
That video training series you are referencing was released before we came out with the editable pages features, and drag and drop feature that was just released. We are going to do a lot of new training videos and documentation on the new stuff over the next couple weeks.

As promised here is that video:

Will, Thank you very much. I will work through your example and learn the details. I think that I will also generate some new "pipe" graphic images and see if I can get some to run at a 45 degree angle to more closely match what I am doing for our customer. I think that that will work just great. We can then use the open screen space to show numeric data and other system status information. I will pass back to you once I get it working.

)Ok. I have generated some 45 degree graphic "pipes" to use and uploaded to the mango unit via webmin file manager and have now spent the past several hours trying to figure out out to get to the "dashboard designer" on my mangoES (ES V3). I can log into mango at the device IP (currently DHCP at 192.169.0.112 with admin admin...) but from there I am unable to find how to get to the dashboard designer. I can get to the "Mango Dashboards v3" (name shown on the browser tab) when I click the small bar chart "Custom Dashboards" icon on the icon row in Mango which opens up a new tab... (http://192.168.0.112/dashboards/settings/edit-menu), but as of now, I am spinning my wheels trying to figure out how to get to where you were at when you made the demo video showing the pipes changing color. Can you please provide additional steps or helps. Maybe I need to do some sort of version upgrade. If that is the case, please let me know how to upgrade the software on our MangoES unit to the needed version that supports the dashboard designer. Also, I have no idea how to get to the "Administration" area such that I could find the Dashboard designer.... ie: your video has "Administration > Dashboard designer" up at the top in the blue banner bar.
Thanks,

Hi Tracey,
Try navigating to http://192.168.0.112/ui/administration/dashboard-designer/

I get "page not found"

It looks like you may not have the mangoUI or Dashboard Designer modules installed (or at least MangoUI). You can install these from your modules page, they'll be in the middle section ("Modules available for installation") after you click "Check for upgrades"
-
Here is my screen shot. I get a message that the license will no longer apply if I do these updates...
-
De-select "Show major version upgrades, new license purchase required."

Aha! Yes, you haven't updated to Mango 3 yet. The Dashboard Designer is only available in Mango 3.
You wouldn't be able to load up a module built for another version of the core, so I wouldn't download the module without updating the core.

I was too slow....haha

And yet you were so fast! :D

I am working with the new MangoES box that we picked up at the AHR expo in Las Vegas from your booth earlier this year (late January/early Feb...~ 3 months ago). How can I get the license updated once I do the upgrade. What are the cost factors and how to get a new valid license.
Tracey -
After you do the update you can email us the GUID and we'll grant the license.
-
Where do I find the GUID after the update? Is it printed on the MangoES box or will it be pulled from the box with some software/web browser???
-
You'll want to log into the web browser and navigate to the /modules.shtm page where it's written right below the navigation bar. You also should press the "Update my license" button on the module page after upgrading.
-
HELP! I can get to the modules and click the "update my license". Another tab in the browser opens up and asks me to login. I login and get the following message:
"Note: core version 2.0.5 and earlier is incompatible with the licenses that are downloaded here. Please upgrade to core 2.0.6 or higher before replacing your existing license. If this is a new license and there are no license options below, you may need to change the store.url in your env.properties file to https, restart Mango, and try again.
The given instance belongs to another account"
PS: The GUID is the same now as when I sent it earlier yesterday to Phillip.

Check your email, I couldn't transfer the license to you until your account had been created.
