One note more.
the account pdf/pdfpass is disabled from now.

some users may have found very funny too spam me with reports, and to delete them.

Some guyz are very curious...

i did a fresh installation with the latest cacti version. and installed your latest beta version (with patch successful). after that i could not access to the "User "Management . then i opened the export2pdf_main.php, which welcomes me with "access denied"

maybe i did something wrong. any hints or prerequisits ?
cheers

Hi,
i've done a new fresh install.

after that, it's true that user_admin.php, line 536, is broken. (but i've got an error type 'T_VARIABLE not defined'...)

Just delete the "order" tha is wrong, to keep:
"order by user_auth.username");"

because the order clause "user_realms" will not function. (will be corrected in beta3)

After that, in the user admin section it should be ok. Check the export2pdf rights.

If not, tell me.

Tom, i've noted that in export2pdf.sql
if you have an error, look in the file.

a coma ',' is inserted twice at the end of a line.

I've done a new install + a running install.
after having corrected export2pdf.sql and user_admin.php
all is working.

beta3 will be better.

Fred.

Hi,
did you install htmldoc?

http://www.htmldoc.org/
and choose the version 1.8xxx (because 1.9 is known to crash).

the direct link may be: http://www.htmldoc.org/software.php?VERSION=1.9.x-r1474&FILE=htmldoc/1.8.25/htmldoc-1.8.25-source.tar.gz

Just extract and do:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Remember to fill in the cacti administration panel the PATH of htmldoc.

you have raised one point: i've no documentation. This will be done.

Fred.

please, read the post http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=10234

it answers some of your questions.
also, the problem about Multi Graph Selection is described. It's a feature implemented in the item view, not for the moment in the preview.

I must migrate to the Plugin Architecture as cigamit said, to be clean.

About your file not found problem, are you sure you have configured cacti as /usr/bin/htmldoc (Configuration =>Settings => Paths => htmldoc Binary File Path)?
It must be configured as the font for example or as the rrdtool binary path.

Ok I understand that I dont need to sendmail.
But, how can I configure my SMTP server?
I have a cacti 0.8.6g IP Address is 10.200.18.39 and we have have a SMTP server (Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service) IP Address is 10.200.123.135
I dont know how can I configure php codes about export2pdf.
Or, do I need extra application to use send mail feature?

Oh yes,
it's not easily configurable for now.

but you can edit the code, export2pdf_main.php, about line 1333, when $mail->Host = "127.0.0.1", just enter the IP adress of your smtp gateway.

this is a great idea to include this in the new export2pdf (with Plugin Architecture).

Cool. It works.
I can send mail now.
I still have two question:

1. how can I change the charset to see correct leter in PDF? I mean I use Turkish fonts. So when I use turkish letter in schema (textbox etc.) PDF output shows some weird letter.
Is there any way to change code page to see turkish code?

2. How can I send mail more than one mail address. I try comma, semicolon space between mail addresses. ıs there any way?

AND AN IDEA:
If your plug-in can send mail automatically, in cron, could be very nice.
For example , every monday cacti sends mail defined schema. Is it nice?
