Editor bug in dashboard ?

[philgdep]

Good day,

I can't use the page editor in the dashboard.

Impossible to move the little triangle on the right bottom side of the editor div.
If I create a new page it does the same. It makes it impossible to enter any text.
Sometimes I have the same problem in dashboard designer.
It's also not possible to delete any pages.

All modules have been updated to latest today.

Could you also please make a video on how to make graphs or stats etc.. working in the dashboard designer? I can make all in the page editor by writing my own code but I've spent so much time to try to make it work in the dashboard designer with no success.

Do you see any any errors in your console when you encounter this issue? Have you tried hard refreshing, sometimes if an error is thrown it will prevent parts of the dashboard from working properly until you refresh.

One thing I have noticed is that if you try to open a dashboard designer page in the edit page view, some times you will not be able to click on things because the preview of the page is actually overlaid on top of the UI with absolute positioning. Try deselecting the preview toggle if you think this may be the case.

I am working on getting some new training videos out soon and I will make sure to cover basic graphs and stats in the designer.

I'd say for sure there is a directive or filter throwing an error on your page you have selected called "Statistics". Like Will said turn the preview off.

Its likely to be a filter you have used on the page, In v3.1 the Mango filters have been renamed, if you have something like <tag attribute="value | moment"> it will now be <tag attribute="value | maMoment">

Other filters you might have are first, tr or duration which are now maFirst, maTr and maDuration respectively.

There was no code in the 'Statistics' page.

Turning the Preview off doesn't seem to fix the problem. The div is still blank with no editor place to change/put the code.
Is hard refreshing "shift cmd-R" ? if yes, it doesn't fix either.
I don't see any errors in the console.

I was using Firefox and strangely, in Chrome and Safari, it seems to work.
So maybe a problem with the Firefox browser?

New training video would be great! I'm a bit confused by all the 'tmp' automatically put everywhere with ma-point-list

Just need to know how to select a data source then device then the points from that device to stats or chart. I think with that the overall will be demonstrated.

Thank's for clarifications about the new filters.

I'll stick to code myself for the moment.

I would love a tutorial on this part too :)

The dashboard designer just puts tmp in any required attributes so that the element can be inserted onto the page. Though technically a lot of them are still optional.

I'm sure we can do something like this. I'll show you two ways.

Yep it wasn't displaying correctly in Firefox, I've fixed this in "Edit pages" and the dashboard designer for the next release.

Here is a video tutorial that covers how to use charts on the dashboard designer, that are driven by data source and device name parameter drop downs. It uses a dynamic watch list so it might not be exactly what you meant but it covers a powerful feature:
