Arranging Apps

Yeah, use Groups and Search for now.

[Dave Swift]

@timconsidine There are on some of my dashboards but not others. I can't make sense of it.

[robi]

@Dave-Swift there may also be a difference if you use labels for some apps and not for others who just have subdomains.

[Dave Swift]

@robi Here is an example.

(I marked up the image with the subdomain and first letter of root domain.)

[jdaviescoates]

@Dave-Swift that is odd. Mine are all in alphabetical order of subdomain or domain if no subdomain is used.

[robi]

@Dave-Swift Clearly you're using labels, not just the sub domains. See what happens if you empty the Mautic label.

Are you using any tags? See if the tags are [a-z] too and make a difference in the sort order.

@robi said in Arranging Apps:

Hence why he added the url info too.

I also use labels on some apps, doesn't seem to effect their ordering (although I think maybe it should so that my app labelled eBook Library would be under E instead of B for books.domain.coop )

[necrevistonnezr]

Upvote from me for preferential sorting by labels instead of URLs (if they have been assigned)….

So the apps are sorted after filter by fqdn so this is the full qualified domain name, essentially the (sub)domain the app is installed. Now since some apps in the screenshot do not have a "Running" status, I wonder if those are just applinks?

[Dave Swift]

@nebulon yes they are app links, there are more cloudron apps on the next line.

Arranging them, like a phone's "home" screen, would be a really nice feature.

I'd also like the ability to add "Groups" like an Uptime Kuma status page.

[nebulon]

I will move this to the feature request section as I guess the feature is to implement a more versatile grid system here where the admin and/or user can arrange similar to a desktop.

[ChristopherMag]

I just started using app links and it doesn't seem to be sorting app link apps by their subdomain or by label, weird behavior. Label would be my preferred sorting order if possible.

[nebulon]

Apps are currently sorted by fqdn, so the domain name, not the display label.

@nebulon said in Arranging Apps:

That doesn't appear to actually be the case with it comes to app links, which is what @ChristopherMag was just referring to.

see e.g. this app link:

Neither "Loomio" nor what it links to i.e. https://www.loomio.com/uniteddiversity logically comes between G and I

[nebulon]

The bug seems to be that the fqdn for app links is actually http.... so apparently all are sorted into the h alphabetical section we will fix this for next release.

[nebulon]

The fqdn bug is fixed with https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/1026728ab7167c00e2a13a4407d19696ddba3162

Also the sorting is now adjusted to label || fqdn https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/7a0b74d79bd4aff9abf9ce685040a5fa94752479 at least with my set of testing apps this made most sense and much better aligns with what is displayed in the grid items.

Does that mean, first by label and then by fqdn?

[girish]

@jdaviescoates yes, first by label if it exists. If label doesn't exist, then fqdn.
