EventGhost

Been a minute, just upgraded and forgot about this issue until I did. The problem is that in some cases the NetUserGetLocalGroups can't get a list of groups, probably a permissions issue.

The code in User.py generates an error on my system that blocks eventghost from working. the code should be replaced to resolve this bug: def Groups(user_name=Name(), server=None): """ Retrieves direct and indirect group name the username is a member of for a specific computer/server. If no paramete...

This has an example of how to properly explore user groups. I modified it for EG. https://programtalk.com/python-examples/win32net.NetUserGetLocalGroups/ def Groups(user_name=Name(), server=None): """ Retrieves direct and indirect group name the username is a member of for a specific computer/server...

Changing User.py line from line 51 with the code fixed the issue. def Groups(user_name=Name(), server=None): """ Retrieves direct and indirect group name the username is a member of for a specific computer/server. If no parameters are passed it will default to the current user and the local computer...

This does not happen in RC4. I am logged in under my domain account, I tried other accounts and they do the same thing. It could be a group policy that blocks this kind of access, not sure. Either way, this error should be trapped and the new option skipped if it fails. Pretty sure this is related t...

The other way is exposing a ported web service to your HOME DNS and forwarding this port via your router. Then EG would be exposed to the internet, but would accept outside commands.

I posted a long time ago, javascript that forwards button presses to EG's web service. I also have a python web framework that sends forms and such via the requests module. Hit me up if you need any of these.

There are two ways you can handle text encoding for the web.

For instance if you are pulling text from a database server you can use:
{{str(variable).decode('latin-1').encode("utf-8")}}

Or if you just want to ignore non ascii characters:
{{str(variable).encode('ascii', 'ignore')}}

I have a temporarily on hold project (aiming to restart it in January) for home automation that uses eventghost and http://www.opensourceautomation.com/ which I integrated with their command line interface. It worked awesome. If you need assistance I can help.

Wouldn't the web service be a much easier way to do this? The requests plugin is perfect for this.

Or running a small database (postgres for instance) and having the clients access that database could be all you need to transfer large amounts of data too and from quickly.

Would anyone be willing (or interested) in creating a web based gui for EG? If we want to take EG to the next level, I think this is necessary...

The only other way is to launch a python script directly from EG, that runs it's own set of commands and waits. If you need an event to trigger when it's done, just click the check box.

Why would you just not let EG launch chrome to that specific page? Would that not be easier?

I actually have all of the files for a project that I was building (now on hold until January). If anyone needs them, PM me.
