1. Make sure you have the line
$page['title']['bypass'] = 'title_id';
in your inc/navigation.php
2. Add code for a new 'title' page into your dynamic_title_decoder()
implementation in inc/interface.php.
BTW, I am not sure this patch will be merged into trunk.

Does anyone have any good notes on how RackTables functions and realms work so
I can create a new Main menu and realm in RackTables similar to Objects or
Files?
I'm trying to make a software manager in RackTables that will allow tracking
installed software and license information. Rather then creating a stand-alone
plugin, I figured it might be better to make it fully integrated with RackTables. I
wanted to make it similar to the Objects section creating a new Table called Software
with basic information about the Software Titles (like RackObject), and with a new
realm called software. I want to allow linking files to each software title similar
to objects. I also wanted to allow liking the Software Titles to objects just like
linking files to objects. I was able to get as far as setting up the Software ->
Titles -> View tab which pulls from the new Software table using $SQLSchema and
built in functions (modified), but now I can't figure out how to get the View tab
link to get generated correctly for my software title (summary page).
So I figured I'd ask the developers if they have any notes or suggestions on
getting a new Main section added with new realm.
Also, should it be possible to get attributes added to my Software titles just
like objects, utilizing the built in functions so you can use the Configuration
Attributes Edit map to link attributes to software titles? Or should I just
look at creating my own attributes functions/tables to add custom attributes to
these software titles? I was hoping that the $realm variable would have be
used some how to allow duplicate id values that exist between the RackObject
table and my new Software table, but it doesn't look like it does this, or I'm
just not understanding this part yet and my code is just broken. (see pictures)
Here is where I'm stuck now.
Main page: Software: dynamic_title_decoder() failure
should be:
Main page: Software: Windows Server 2008 R2
My Software TItle View tab link looks like this:
http://localhost/racktables/index.php?page=title&tab=default
But it should be:
http://localhost/racktables/index.php?page=title&tab=default&object_id=1
So using the Object View tab as an example, I can't figure out where in the code for
the&object_id=1 or in my case the&title_id=1 gets appended?
Attached are some screen shots of my progress. You'll notice that the
attributes for the software title are actually pulling from the attributes of
the object with the same id as the software title in my new software table.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Ernie
