no pads displayed

[robert-winkler]

Hi, I just installed Etherpad on a webserver; it workes fine (actual github version).
I also installed the ep_adminpads via the admin/plugin manager.
However, I cannot see any Pads.
Could you please help me to fix this issue?
Best, Robert

Same here. Installed ep_adminpads 0.12 with etherpad 1.8.0.
It works with DirtyDB, but doesn't work when use Postgres as a backend db.

Maybe you could use https://etherpad.org/doc/v1.7.5/#index_listallpads ?
etherpad.company.com/api/1.2.13/listAllPads?apikey=fooBar

1.8.0 does not work. 1.7.5 working well. MySQL MariaDB.

This was apparently fixed with 49a9ba2 but the changes are not published on npm yet.

Correction: Pad list shows up, but last edited column is still not working.

Is there any easy way to delete pads and versions pads with etherpad 1.8 and MySQL ?
ep_adminpads was nice ;(
Thanks

[julianmiguel]

Not working for me too with 1.8 and mysql
It was a very nice plugin, can you update it
Thanks a lot

Hi.

Not working with 1.8 + MySQL either.

As mentioned here, the current master solves the main issue.

You could install the plugin directly from Github by running the following command as your etherpad user in the root directory:
npm install spcsser/ep_adminpads#49a9ba2
After that it should be enough to simply restart etherpad.

I've restricted it to the currently latest commit (49a9ba2). If that's unwanted remove the #49a9ba2 part.

Thanks a lot for your answer but i dont really understand where i have to put this:
"ep_adminpads": "spcsser/ep_adminpads#49a9ba2"

I have a pakage.json in /src but it is not talking at all about the plugin
I have a package.json in /nodemodules/ep_adminpads
but nothing happen when i put the spcsser
thanks for your help

[anoymouserver]

Oh, apparently my Etherpad configuration is not the default anymore, since I've done some modifications. I also have a package.json inside the root directory.

I have updated my previous comment with a better way.

[julianmiguel]

thanks again but seems a new problem when installing npm :
[..................] - rollbackFailedOptional: verb npm-session 07801897eb57cbf3

hang

[FredMa01]

All thanks @anoymouserver your soluce with the command as the etherpad user in the root directory: ''npm install spcsser/ep_adminpads#49a9ba2'' is the soluce for me !
ep_adminpads 0.0.13 with etherpad-lite 1.8 is ok

[julianmiguel]

Working for me thanks a lot
dowload zip file unzip it in etherpad lite root folder
npm install package name

restart etherpad lite

Thanks

[thmo]

So I guess the question goes to @spcsser: can you cut a new release to ease installation?

[LilaRest]

Working for me thanks a lot
dowload zip file unzip it in etherpad lite root folder
npm install package name

restart etherpad lite

Thanks

Precision for who that are not fluent with npm, linux, etc :

1. Go into your etherpad lite root folder
2. Retrieve the repository : wget https://github.com/spcsser/ep_adminpads/archive/master.zip
3. Unzip the repository content : unzip master.zip
4. Install the ep_adminpads plugin executing npm link ep_adminpads-master

If you want to use the Docker version of Etherpad you'll have to build the image yourself.

This is the modified Dockerfile I'm using (based on 1.8.3):
