9 years ago Can you show your serialized dashboard JSON?
I've noticed it doesn't update the position of the panes when you move them, so when you call 'freeboard.serialize()' it just returns their original position. On my local copy, it still adds them in their original positions when I load them, unlike your example above. If you resize the dashboard afterwoods, does it put them properly?

9 years ago Hi @daleroy1!
Thank you very much for your help!!
Unfortunately it does not put them properly after loading the serialized configuration and resizing the dashboard :(
Here's my serialized JSON:
{
"plugins":[
],
"version":1,
"panes":[
{
"col_width":1,
"col":{
"3":"",
"4":"",
"8":""
},
"widgets":[
{
"settings":{
"height":6,
"html":"datasources[\"Business Analyst - Top Sites\"][\"items\"]"
},
"type":"html"
}
],
"width":1,
"row":{
"3":"",
"4":"",
"8":""
},
"title":"Business Analyst - Top Sites"
},
{
"col_width":1,
"col":{
"3":"",
"4":"",
"8":""
},
"widgets":[
{
"settings":{

},
"type":"html"
}
],
"width":1,
"row":{

"title":"biz! - Aktionen"
},
{
"col_width":1,
"col":{

"title":"biz! - Kunden"
},
{

"widgets":[

{

},
"name":"biz! - Kunden",
"type":"JSON"
}
],
"columns":8
}Your panes are missing the row/col values.
You need to put a col/row value as a number for each size, so for 8 columns, it would look like for one of the panes:
"row":{"8":1} "col":{"8":2}

9 years ago How do I append these? Shouldn't freeboard.serialize() also serialize these values? So I assume it's a bug?
leon-vd

9 years ago From what i can tell, freeboard.serialize() only picks up the initial row/col values of the panes when they are created. If you move them, it doesn't actually update the pane itself with the new values, even though there is code to pick up these changes. Having said that, serialize() shoudl pick up the initial ones ok.
If you create a new dashboard and drop a pane on it and call serialize, does it generate those values?

9 years ago That's what I got if I add a new dashboard and a new pane and call freeboard.serialize afterwards:
{
"version":1,
"allow_edit":true,
"plugins":[
],
"panes":[
{
"width":1,
"row":{
"3":1
},
"col":{
"3":1
},
"col_width":1,
"widgets":[
]
}
],
"datasources":[
],
"columns":null
}That shows it's working. If you recreate your original one and serailize() does it give the row/col values? You otherwise could edit the JSON that you've stored for it and put the values in.

9 years ago Mhm, I'm note quite sure when the error happens. So I created two snapshots using freeboard.serialize():
This is immediately after creating a new dashboard with new aligned panes:
{
"version":1,
"allow_edit":true,
"plugins":[
],
"panes":[
{
"width":1,
"row":{
"3":1
},
"col":{
"3":3
},
"col_width":1,
"widgets":[
]
},
{
"width":1,
"row":{
"3":1
},
"col":{
"3":1
},
"col_width":1,
"widgets":[
]
},
{
"width":1,
"row":{
"3":1
},
"col":{
"3":2
},
"col_width":1,
"widgets":[
]
}
],
"datasources":[
],
"columns":null
}And this is after reloading the configuration from the database:
{
"version":1,
"allow_edit":true,
"plugins":[
],
"panes":[
{
"width":1,
"row":{
"3":0
},
"col":{
"3":0
},
"col_width":1,
"widgets":[
]
},
{
"width":1,
"row":{
"3":0
},
"col":{
"3":0
},
"col_width":1,
"widgets":[
]
},
{
"width":1,
"row":{
"3":0
},
"col":{
"3":0
},
"col_width":1,
"widgets":[
]
}
],
"datasources":[
],
"columns":3
}seems like the positioning is lost after calling freeboard.loadDashboard() ?

9 years ago Odd. Stupid question, but you've checked the JSON to make sure the values are there after loading from the database but before pushing it into .loadDashboard()? What's the loading code you're using?
marbetschar
commented
9 years ago Yeah, it seems absolutely odd :( That's what I pass to freeboard.loadDashboard() function in a $.ajax success event handler:
{
"plugins":[
],
"version":1,
"panes":[
{
"col_width":1,
"col":{
"3":""
},
"widgets":[
],
"width":1,
"row":{
"3":""
}
},
{
"col_width":1,
"col":{
"3":""
},
"widgets":[
],
"width":1,
"row":{
"3":""
}
},
{
"col_width":1,
"col":{
"3":""
},
"widgets":[
],
"width":1,
"row":{
"3":""
}
}
],
"allow_edit":true,
"datasources":[
],
"columns":""
}So if I'm right then the information is already missing here?
leon-vd

9 years ago Yup. Looks like you're losing it somewhere in the database storage/retrieval stage. So it's not a freeboard issue as such.

9 years ago Ok, I'll check this. Thank you very much for your help!!!

9 years ago Thank you very much @daleroy1!! You pointed me into the right direction and now it's working like a charm! :)
I'm currently trying to implement freeboard in our environment. Therefore I've added a server backend which stores the dashboard configuration object as json (sent to a REST API).
Storing and retrieving the information works like a charm, but as soon as freeboard tries to render a loaded dashboard, it just places all panes on top of each other. Please see the following two screenshot (before and after loading). Any ideas how I can fix this?
