Maintenance & Reminders Discussion

[Tom Kern]

I had to change my version slightly to work for everyone, so please let me know if all is well.

Tom,

I had your script running some time ago under version 1.7, and since the upgrade to 2.0 I have not had it working. I was glad to see the update for it.

I have run into a couple of issues.
a) had to run the "maintenance.vbs("main","clearini")" to start fresh as I was getting Cint errors when trying to run the vbs script. Probably a good time to start over anyway.
b) added in two devices and it maintained the info from reminder #1 all the way thru. No indication that I was now supposed to be entering in info for reminder #2. So both reminders showed the same info.
c) when trying to add a new reminder, I am locked into using housecode M and between 1 and 16. I also do not have the drop down selection for the locations being populated. It does however allow me to type in a proper location.

Thanks in advance

Steven

Steven,

That makes sense about clearing the ini section first. I'd like to figure out where you are having trouble casting an integer. Did your existing ini's TotalDevices count match the number of MData keys? They should equal.

[Maintenance]
TotDevices=5
LogActivity=1
AddHouseCode=M
MData1=HVAC Filters:M1:06/20/2006:Awaiting Installation:2:Maintenance on June, 20th:

For your second question where it was carrying the first device through, does that mean you were using the script to reconfigure via input boxes? The configurator is supposed to allow you to choose which house and device codes you want for each device and I think it displays the current one you are editing in the titlebar. Also, I can't remember offhand, but I don't think it creates the devices for you. The ASP should read the AddHouseCode key above for which house code you are looking to use. The default if there is none specified is definitely "M", perhaps that is why it locked you into it.

Not sure about the locations, I'll have to look into how Stephan is populating that combobox.

Anybody get this to work for 2.0 or higher? I tried running the script and NOTHING happens. Not sure if the script is bad...

[MeSteve]

What did the HS log say?

7/20/2006 10:20:48 PM Info Running script in background: Maintenance.vbs


I placed the script in the directory and created an event and RAN it. It seems like it does'nt do anything. The instructions say just to place that in the scripts and a could of GIFs in the HTML and the rest will be prompted to do...

[Rupp]

Are you running the asp page to view the event?

[bmora]

I tried to run the asp page but it comes up with a bunch of error messages. This was after running the script.


Script error: Type mismatch: 'CInt' For i = 1 To CInt(NumDevices) KeyInfo = Trim(hs.GetINISetting("Maintenance", "MData" & CStr(i), ""))

[Phill]

Guys.

This looks like what I'm after. Is there a Readme or like that details install / config / usage / features etc ?

Ta.

[Phill]

Ooops. Just read the header of Maintenance.vbs and found some info on how to use.

Ta.

[Phill]

Installed. Seems to be working as expected. Thanks.

[TeleFragger]

i see that you can clear it but can someone help with exactly how to clear?
as above.. but how do you do it?

a) had to run the "maintenance.vbs("main","clearini")"

thanks
Jeff

oh I did delete the settings out of the ini manually... (settings.ini)
when the event is ran I get

11/14/2006 5:27:36 AM Info Event Trigger "Maintenance"
11/14/2006 5:27:36 AM Info Running script in background: Maintenance.vbs

Also in the localhostort/mainten.asp I have an error at the top of the page...
Maintenance Items
Script error: Type mismatch: 'CInt' For i = 1 To CInt(NumDevices) KeyInfo = Trim(hs.GetINISetting("Maintenance", "MData" & CStr(i), ""))

[TeleFragger]

ok ok ok.. sometimes im a dufus...

seems that you have to be ON that machine..

I was trying this from my kitchen pc... I then went in the garage and had like 20 windows up asking me how many devices do I want to configure...!!!!!!!

[Phill]

Don't be so hard on yourself, thats our job.

[independentpete]

Pardon if this is a dumb question... But how do I mark a maintenance item as complete? For example, I set one up to repeat every 2 weeks. Now that I finished it yesterday, how do I reset it so the status no longer shows "needs changing"?
