Add Topology Button To Individual Region Pages #493

Open mr1716 opened 6 months ago

mr1716 commented 6 months ago

NetBox version

v3.7.8

Topology Views version

v3.9.1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Just like the plug-in adds a Topology Button to each Site, which then draws/shows the topology for the site, this request is the do the same thing for each Region

Use case

The plug-in already has the ability to show regions when using the plugin, but it would be the same use case as showing the site topology button for each individual sites, but for regions. It would increase functionality of the tool and use cases.

External dependencies

Not sure, but not really since it’s an expansion of current functionality.

Don’t think I’m the best person for this. Would like to eventually add the ability to add a filter and add group boundaries of different colors when viewing this. So not the best for this.

I'm wondering why you've made a pull request then. Anyway, thanks for trying. I unassigned you from this FR.

@dreng I made the pull request not realizing that the resulting change would require additional changes to the underlying software and add features such as filters to the Region Topology. IE: I see for the use case to improve your software, but don’t have the time nor experience at this time to do it to the degree I want. Therefore, I don’t want to do it only 1/2 as good as I want.
