ZoneMinder Forums

Hi all,

have been trying to get zoneminder to work with my logitech quickcam express webcam for a few weeks, and finally had some success by downgrading from ubuntu 12.04 to ubuntu 10.04

This had the side effect of also downgrading my zoneminder version to 1.24.2

I can export still images from the primary events page, if I tick and event then click export. I can NOT export on a event details page.

I can not generate any video.

After looking around the forums I cam across this post that explains the problem is caused by the event id not being passed.

Hope someone can give me some help sorting this out.

Thanks for advice

If this helps, when I click on the video link from the events detail page, I get a page with the following url

XX.X.X.XXX/zm/index.php?view=video&eid=undefined

With the following contents

An error has occurred and this operation cannot continue.
For full details check your web logs for the code '119247'

If I open a blank tab in google chrome and manually enter the event id using the above url like this

XX.X.X.XXX/zm/index.php?view=video&eid=6

I get a page with video options, and I can generate the video

So to my inexperienced eyes it looks like the event id is not being passed in a few links and pages.

After using google I found a few references to a fix for the event id on line 255 in file /usr/share/zoneminder/skins/classic/includes/export_functions.php

zm/skins/classic/includes/export_functions.php from:
$exportFileList = array_merge( $exportFileList, exportFileList( $eid ), $exportDetail, $exportFrames, $exportImages, $exportVideo, $exportMisc );
to:
$exportFileList = array_merge( $exportFileList, exportFileList( $eid , $exportDetail, $exportFrames, $exportImages, $exportVideo, $exportMisc ));

I've made this change, then restarted zoneminder and apache with following commands

sudo /etc/init.d/zoneminder restart
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

In all cases the eid remains undefined in the urls
