Hi Steven,
From the sounds of it, you've got it all installed and semi-working.
Have you defined ports for your objects and linked them together
Ie.
Networkswitch, create ports Gi0/1
Server create port eth0
Then Link 'Server-eth0' to 'Networkswitch-Gi0/1'.
The other issue could be that the index.php is not picking up the request with
the ?module=rendercablingplan
You can test this with http://<your
server>/index.php?module=rendercablingplan&format=png
Regards
Mark Wilkinson

I have all the patching done as described and the files in the right place.
The Cabling Plan icon shows on the main page.
When I click it, I see the two tabs but no image is generated.
I checked dot and it shows png and svg are both supported. I have the PEAR
module installed.
I only have one rack with the wiring entered and no cabling from that rack to
any other rack, is that the issue?

Hi James, Steven,
I've been playing with this as well...
I got it to work as follows on Racktables version 2.20.3
Cablingplan.php goes to the plugins directory
Cablingplan.png goes to the wwwroot/pix directory
Patch the wwwroot/index.php with this :- Line 263 to 268 :-
renderInstallerHTML();
break;
case 'rendercablingplan' == $_REQUEST['module']:
require_once 'inc/init.php';
renderCablingPlan();
break;
then on the Main page of Racktables you should see a new block called
'Cablingplan' (mine appears on the 3rd row after Virtual Resources)
If you have objects with ports that are Linked then the Cabling plan page
should draw you a pretty Graphviz picture (please note that you also need the
PEAR GraphViz module installed for this to work).
Hope this helps.
Regards
Mark Wilkinson

You got that? :) I got nothing!
I have copied the .php and .png file into inc/ and pix/ respectively.
I had also patched index.php manually (as the patch isn't valid for the latest
version of RackTables). I don't get any logo or image on the front page, or
anywhere. How do I even access this plugin?
Cheers,
James.
