[1.6] Annoyance in GUI

[NOB]

Hi

Version 1.6 is a big step forward for the ZABBIX Software !

But there is still one annoyance in several places in the GUI
regarding the history.
That means the new "History" line in the GUI as well just
selecting some entries in the menu (like Monitoring/Trigger).

The last setting is not remembered, but one fix entry is
used. I don't really know when this setting was remembered
but it's never updated.

Examples:

I select Hostgroup: all and Host: all in Monitoring/Triggers
but as soon as I leave this page and come back later, always
the same special host in a special hostgroup is shown. So, if I
want to see all triggers of all hosts in all hostgroups I'll have
to change the settings every time I visit this page !

The audit of the mail was moved to Administration/Audit. That is OK.
But here the same problem happens: It'll always show the "audit log",
regardless of my previous view.

Perhaps other (updated) pages behave in the same way.
EDIT: Yes, Monitoring/Events is the same !

This is a 1.6 fresh installation, no profiles migrated.

Regards

Norbert.

OK

nobody believes me, so here are some screenshot, version 1.6.3.
I used the new usergroups as an example but the same feature
is used all over ZABBIX 1.6.x GUI now.

If you select a usergroup, then do a create user and
then click on Cancel the usergroup suddenly changed from
Database Administrators to Unix Administrators.

The same happens if you select Monitoring/Triggers and then select Group "all"
and host "all" and change to something else, like Configuration. and change back to Monitoring/Triggers, the first host is selected automatically for you. This seems a bug to me.

Try new revision of the frontend look into include/defines.inc.php

    define('ZBX_DROPDOWN_FIRST_ENTRY',        2);        // 0 - NONE, 1 - ALL, 2 - SIMILAR ZBX 1.6.2 (compatibility mode)
    define('ZBX_DROPDOWN_FIRST_REMEMBER',    1);        // 0 - do NOT remember, 1 - do remember

Thanks Aly for the very quick response.

I am using R7031 (from yesterday).
At least the comment is different in the PHP file from your post

How should I set it to get the 1.4 behaviour back ?

If I set

define('ZBX_DROPDOWN_FIRST_ENTRY',              0);

the selection of "all" is completely disabled AFAIS.
OK, somebody might need this.

Setting it to 1 selects "all" and does not remember the host
selected last time, if either

define('ZBX_DROPDOWN_FIRST_REMEMBER',   1);

or

define('ZBX_DROPDOWN_FIRST_REMEMBER',   0);

is used.

Should I use version 7038 from today ?

Regards

Norbert.

Norbert,

I think it is no longer the case. I repeated your steps with the latest pre 1.6.3 (try nightly build) and everything works as it should. Please confirm.
