SOLVED Can't create functional Sickbeard jail

[dllarson]

Hi,

This problem is pretty simple to describe...

1. I install the Sickbeard plugin which seems to be complete with no issues.
2. I assign ZFS dataset "/mnt/vol1/media" to Sickbeard's "/media" folder.
3. I enable the Sickbeard plugin within the "installed" tab of Plugin's sheet.
4. I click the "Sickbeard" icon in the Plugin's icon in the leftmost GUI tree. A dialog is presented that says "Sickbeard can be found here by default." also having choices OK & Cancel.
5. I select OK.

Results:

Nothing happens except I get a brief message in the title area that says the settings were saved. First question is "what settings?" I didn't get prompted for any data.

My expectation is that when I install a plugin that it simply functions is some understandable manner that doesn't require deep understanding of the plugin to see a UI of some sort.

What's the flaw in my approach?

My system's info:

Hostname freenas.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx

it sounds like it is functioning properly. you can click 'here' if you want to visit sickbeard's webui. my source is available on github if you want to suggest changes.

I've now tried several other plugin's and they are all behaving the same busted way so Sickbeard doesn't appear to be sick at all.

When I examined the message dialog ("XXXXXXXXX can be found here by default.") more closely it looks like there are two "invisible" boxes that lack content. It's as if the plugin installer can't establish a connection to stuff running in the jail?

I'll fess up right here to say I don't know much about BSD yet--so I could easily be overlooking something simple. Linux is my main playground.

most of the plugins, like sickbeard for example, don't expose any settings is the freenas menu. you configure sickbeard through its own webui.

click the word "here" which is a link to the plugins webui.

Dang!

I totally didn't see the hyperlink in the message dialog.

Gad...I feel the dope.

I now have the Sickbeard UI page.

Thanks!
