Delete all matches option in Filters dialog

[robi]

Hi!

I have several events.
-Opened the filter window. Set up a rule to test it: Id equal to 160, then Submit. Event list updates correctly.
-Then check "Delete all matches:", Submit, event is still there. Execute - still nothing. What am I doing wrong...?
-Zmfilter.log shows nothing related to this, only the eventdump and purgewhenfull actions.

I know that I can delete the event by selecting it in the event list and clicking "delete", but why doesn't delete from filter window?

Also, why two buttons: Submit and Execute? What's the difference between them?

Submit just applies th efilter (and shows you the events), execute also invokes the selected actions. So once you check 'delete all matches' you should then press Execute.

It doesn't work.

i have the same problem any tips?

Can you give me details of your distro and browser? Do you see any errors (especially Javascript ones) on the page. Can you describe _exactly_ what you see, does the page not do anything when you presse Execute or does it refresh but with the same vents etc? Please be as detailed as you can.

[robi]

Okay.
The page with the event list refreshes but with the match results. "Delete all matches:" has no effect. Browser: Firefox 1.5.0.11. No erros visable anywhere (nor browser nor logs)

I am running ZM 1.22.3 on FC6 with Apache 2.

The workstations I access it on are running FC6 - 2.6.18-1.2849. Mozilla FireFox 1.5.0.10. I also access ZM on a Unbutu 6.10 workstation running FireFox 2. I did some testing by accessing ZM on a Windows XP box with FireFox 2. All the same results...

I get the results from the query. For example I run a query for all monitors to delete any event prior to 4/15/2007. The result window appears with accurate results. But executing does nothing. The results just sit there. Then I have to do a view all and then check the delete box, click on delete...

I have never been able to get it to work.

Samo problem here with deleting (but also with executing E-Mail delivery and Message delivery) - running on Mandriva 2007, tried with Opera (can't check version now), FireFox 2, IE 7.0, IE 6.0 - no errors in browser or in Mandriva log but nothing happens.

I think that when I solve this one (deleting through Event FIlter and Exectuing) I will sole E-Mail/Message thing too.

Regards,

I have had a bit of a look at this issue now. Can you try looking in zm_actions.php and finding the section that looks like

Code: Select all

            if ( $execute )
            {
                $temp_filter_name = "_TempFilter".time();
            }
                        if ( $filter_name || $new_filter_name )
                        {
                                if ( $temp_filter_name )
                                        $filter_name = $temp_filter_name;
                                elseif ( $new_filter_name )
                                        $filter_name = $new_filter_name;

and move the last four lines about the second if, like so

Code: Select all

            if ( $execute )
            {
                $temp_filter_name = "_TempFilter".time();
            }
                                if ( $temp_filter_name )
                                        $filter_name = $temp_filter_name;
                                elseif ( $new_filter_name )
                                        $filter_name = $new_filter_name;

                        if ( $filter_name )
                        {

and also remove one of the tests from that if. See if that works.

Apologies for the formatting but it's difficult to get things lined on in these boxes!

Hi!

Well, it works GREAT!

Both Deleting events and e-mail/message options now work!!!

Thanks!

[robi]

Confirming that it's working here too.

[cordel]

Dito here as well. Good show Phil

[pneumoboy]

It works excellent... I can also now create videos from the filter window (somethings that also would not work previously).

Much appreciated... Thanks for looking into this.

I have rather belatedly added this to the Wiki.
