You'll likely need lm_sensors:

yum -y --enablerepo=centos-unverified install lm_sensors

Then run:

sensors

To see what was detected/supported by that library for your particular hardware.

You can use the -u flag with sensors script and ClearOS's Shell API (/usr/clearos/apps/base/library/Shell.php to call the script from PHP and parse the output for inclusion into your widget.

$app['basename'] = 'cputemp';

And create one additional folder:

mkdir /usr/clearos/apps/cputemp/htdocs

I think that should do it.

Keep in mind, dashboard widget metadata is cached for 2 minutes, so you might not see it immediately. To change this behaviour during development to avoid frustration, edit:

/usr/clearos/apps/dashboard/libraries/Dashboard.php

and set the cache time in seconds to 0:

const CACHE_S = 120;

Thanks!, this worked like a champ.

What i wanna do is read out "sensors" and take some information from that (cpu temps) and display it in that widget in a fancy way.

Is it even possible to get that information from the shell ?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I think i missed something, or doing something wrong.

I have created a folder in /usr/clearos/apps/ called cputemp.

In that folder i have the following:

Folder: controllers --> cputemp_dashboard.php

Folder: deploy --> info.php

Folder: views --> Folder: dashboard --> index.php



cputemp_dashboard.php

<?php



/**

 * Events Dashboard controller.

 *

 * @category   apps

 * @package    cputemp

 * @subpackage controllers

 * @author     LarsCom

 */



class Cputemp_Dashboard extends ClearOS_Controller

{

    /**

     * Dashboard default controller.

     *

     * @return view

     */



    function index()

    {

        $this->page->view_form('cputemp/dashboard/index');

    }

  

}

info.php

<?php



/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Dashboard Widgets

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



$app['dashboard_widgets'] = array(

    $app['category'] => array(

        'cputemp/cputemp_dashboard/index' => array(

            'title' => 'CPU TEMP',

            'restricted' => FALSE,

        )

    )

);

index.php

<?php



/**

 * 

 *

 * @category   apps

 * @package    cputemp

 * @subpackage controllers

 * @author     LarsCom

 */





echo "INDEX.PHP";

I think i am missing more required information.

Hi,

Best thing to do is look at an example. The dashboard widgets in the 'Events' app is a good one.

Dashboard widgets are provided by the app when you install them (and removed if you un-install the app).

Each app has a basename with the root of the listing here:

/usr/clearos/apps/

In order for a dashboard widget to get picked up, you need to create a controller with the format basename_dashboard.php.

So, for the events app example, look to:

/usr/clearos/apps/events/controller/events_dashboard.php

Create as many controller calls (functions) as you wish in that file. It's basically just displaying a view of your choosing (or create a new view).

The only thing you need to do when you're done is 'register' the dashboard widget in the packages's info.php file found here:

/usr/clearos/apps/<basename>/deploy/info.php

Here's a sample for the events app:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Dashboard Widgets

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



$app['dashboard_widgets'] = array(

    $app['category'] => array(

        'events/events_dashboard/last_24' => array(

            'title' => lang('events_last_24_hours'),

            'restricted' => FALSE,

        )

    )

);

It's just a nested associative array....The '$app['dashboard_widgets']' element never changes...the next key is the category you want the widget to show up under. Finally, the last key is based on the controller URL, and provides the title and whether non-root users can select/view the widget or not.

Hope that helps get you started.

B.
