I'm checking in to see if there has been a resolution to the forms path issue.
In installed the PAT client on a Raspberry Pi today. I also did an installation of the most recent package on the Mac. On the Mac, I had no problem figuring out that Standard Forms were not installed and where I needed to put them. I didn't need to specify a forms_path in the
./w2lk/config.json file. It just worked once I uploaded and unziped all the latest forms to the directory "/Users/{my username}/.w2lk/Standard_Forms"
On the Raspberry PI, I first tried adding a line in the config.json below this line, "version_reporting_disabled": false " like so (making sure to add a comma after "false" to extend that section of the json file of course:
"forms_path": "/home/pi/.w2lk/Stanard_Forms"
And then I uploaded the forms to the path and restarted the pat http server. There were no errors, but I still couldn't see the forms while composing and there still was no "Update Form Templates" under Action > Other stuff.
So then I did a search on the Raspberry PI to locate the config.json file and discovered that it's located here:
/root/.wl2k
So then, I thought OK I'll just copy in the folder structure how it works on the Mac and take the path variable out of the config.json file. I made sure I had exact copies both on the Mac and the Pi in exactly the same structure of the root directory of the PAT program itself. I restarted everything. No luck. I tried a different browser that had never seen the UI before. No luck.
So then I tried adding the forms path back. The bottom section of my config.json file looks like so:
},
"schedule": {},
"version_reporting_disabled": false,
"forms_path": "/root/.wl2k/Standard_Forms"
}
Last thing I tried was to complete reboot the PI and restart the pat http service. No luck. No change. I can see the "Template" button in the compose windows next to "Add Attachment" on the MAC, but it's missing when I access the pat server on the PI.
Has anyone managed to get forms to work on a Raspberry PI?
