event export doesn't work

[szimszon]

If I click on Export I got a white page, and firebug say:

Thanks for this. Fixed now and will be in next release which will be very shortly or via SVN.

[zoneminder]

Fix now on SVN.

Hi - first post .. ZM 1.24.1 just blows me away!

However, have experienced 3 issues and fixed two (Vista, IE7, ZM 1.24.1)

js/mootools.js: innerHTML not supported in IE7 - no fix; this.fireEvent naffed too... impacts zone editing.

fixed several items to export events (excuse php 4 programming):

ajax/event.php: mods:

if ( (isset($_REQUEST['id']) && empty($_REQUEST['id'])) || (isset($_REQUEST['eids']) && empty($_REQUEST['eids'])))
{
ajaxError( "No event id(s) supplied" );
}

.
.
.
if ( $exportFile = exportEvents( $_REQUEST['eids'],$exportDetail, $exportFrames, $exportImages, $exportVideo, $ex
portMisc, $exportFormat ) )

------------------

skins/classic/views/js/export.js:
skins/classic/views/js/video.js:
change
parms += '&'+form.toQueryString();
to
parms += '&'+$(form).toQueryString();

Mootools issues with IE7 real bummer, guess I'll have to edit zones on IE 6

[mcg]

skins/classic/includes/export_functions.php
in exportEvents:

if ( is_array( $eids ) )
{
foreach ( $eids as $eid )
{
$exportFileList = array_merge( $exportFileList, exportFileList( $eid,
$exportDetail, $exportFrames, $exportImages, $exportVideo, $exportMisc ) );
}
}

Thanks for taking the time to come back with such a useful post including fixes. I have implemented them (or similar) here and they should be on SVN later.

I hadn't noticed the IE7 mootools issues so will have a bit of a dig around at that to see if there are any workarounds that might work. Alternatively ZM is using mootols v 1.11 and I have been looking for an excuse to migrate it up to v1.21 so this might be that excuse, especially if it fixes the issues.

[zoneminder]

The SVN version of ZM 1.24.1 is now using mootools 1.2.1. As far as I can tell it works correctly now in IE7 etc.

[zoneminder]

A few further migration tweaks have gone in today also.

Hi - thanks for the updates.

Would you be able to forward the offical updates... I seem to have missed something - export fails when clicked from filter window, but works from the Event Viewer window [ IE 6 sp3 browser ]

I should test on IE 8 now too.

I seem to have missed something - export fails when clicked from filter window, but works from the Event Viewer window

Using version 1.24.2 and not able to export from the filter window. Is there a patch that can be downloaded to solve this problem?

Please advise.

By the way, 1.24.2 is awesome.

Following the post on this thread and made some changes on the code and it works. The export works.

Here is the patch for 1.24.2.

I've never patched a file before. I tried creating a file call 'event.diff' with the code between start and end in my zoneminder directory. Then, I ran 'patch event.diff' as root and it just sits there until I escape out.

Help! Anyone!

Thanks,
Alex

Can you please tell us how to use this patch???

[Fitch]

Would the above patch help my problem?

http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16110

and if so, I also have to ask the same question as estranged...

[Fitch]

O.K, I've read up on how to patch, and I've downloaded patch (seemed a good idea at the time).

I've gone to what I hope is the correct directory, but didn't get very far (line 6 to be exact)

brafferton@cameras:~$ cd /usr/share/zoneminder/ajax
brafferton@cameras:/usr/share/zoneminder/ajax$ patch event.php event.diff
patching file event.php
patch: **** malformed patch at line 6: <?php

brafferton@cameras:/usr/share/zoneminder/ajax$



And is it going to help my specific problem - as per previous post?
