My ED Toolbox just wouldn't open this morning. EDTB started up OK in the system tray and I was able update all the system/station data, but when I tried to open the Ed Toolbox page in Chrome it just hung with an hourglass and never managed to open, despite various attempts to quit and restart it. Any ideas?

Hmm.. Possibly something else eating up the port EDTB uses..? Check the Apache log file(s) in the logs folder for any clues.

Just wanted to post a quick update to say that, although I didn't see anything obvious in the log files, I have found a workaround. So when I first start ED ToolBox and then right-click the tooltray icon to open the site, Chrome consistently opens up and then hourglasses, apparently indefinitely. However, if I cancel the page load (via the X icon next to the address bar), wait 5 or 10 seconds and then click to refresh the page, it starts up. This technique has been working consistently for me for the last week.

Can Ed toolbox.. have the API login held within the server manager , would use your program far more often if I didn't have to keep logining in every time I start EDToolBox..

There are numerous other Third party apps , like EDDI where once you have set up the API login information , its set and forget

I was having issues with the Screenshot Gallery working. After digging through the code I discovered that the visited timestamp was 24 hours in the future of the actual time. I ended up having to modify the MakeGallery.php file to compensate. My changes were as follows:

Change this line:

$visit_time = isset($obj->visit) ? strtotime($obj->visit) : time();

to

$visit_time = isset($obj->visit) ? strtotime('-1 day',$obj->visit) : time();


I also added an ini setting to allow the picture file extension to be specified so you could use Steam screenshots if you wanted (jpg).
To do this, I had to add a filed in the edtoolbox.ini file named screen_ext.

so

screen_ext = ".jpg"

Then had to again modify MakeGallery.php and edit the following line:

$screenshots = glob($settings["old_screendir"] . "/*.bmp");

to

$screenshots = glob($settings["old_screendir"] . "/*" . $settings["screen_ext"]);

Is this still under development? Will the changes from ED 2.1 be incorporated, especially the coordinate appearance in the NetLogs?

Not very actively developed but I intend to keep it working with new ED versions. The netLogs should already work properly since the changes in 2.1. Is there something that isn't working?

I made a pull request (https://github.com/DBnR1/EDTB/pull/11/files) back in June to submit the coords to EDSM. It's been merged, but a new release hasn't been built with the change. Inhumierer, you can either make that small change to that file on your own copy or wait for a new release to be built. It's working fine for me, so I'm very sure it works.

Many thanks to Walter Harriman for this excellent program. The web based UI is very useful for my somewhat niche use-case, I use Steam in-home streaming, so I'm not actually at the pc running the game, so local gui programs like EDDiscovery aren't very useful to me.

Nice pull req, tnx a lot. I'm not using ED Toolbox, I'm maintaining EDSM and was wondering about lots of newly discovered systems coming in without coordinates. Since this patch is very small, I assume it will be released to ED Toolbox soon.

Hi guys! Just a little help here... I'm trying to configure distances to other system beside Sol, in configuration. I have distances to Colonia, my home (Eol Prou RS-T d3-94) but, as I'm mainly an explorer, I also want to put some other systems, like Sagittarius A*. Problem is, I simply cannot understand how to refer to Sagittarius A*. Tried "Sagittarius A", "Sagittarius A*", "Sagittarius A_". No one works... and yes, I went to Sagittarius A*, so it's a know system in my db.

There's something I'm missing?

Cheers,
CMDR Spadino

Hi, this might be fixed in the latest version (v.1.2.6) of EDTB released just now. Please upgrade and try again. It should work now assuming you've visited SagA* since updating to version 1.2.5 of EDTB.
