Status Title Detail Posted
Get Octopi Logging User Names via Custom Plugin. We would like to get octopi to ask a username when print is clicked. This name should be logged. This can be used for follow-up, and checking if people are paying for prints. Eventually this might be updated to send a PayPal link, but for now just logging name is a start.
The task is to develop a custom plugin we can use to log names of users of the 3d printers when they go to print.
I was able to get part way but got stuck not being able to to get the JS file loading. Maybe a second set of eyes can figure it out.
I was able to install a local development version following this process:
Setting Up OctoPrint Development Environment
1. Clone OctoPrint Repository:

cd ~/devel

git clone https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint
2. Navigate to OctoPrint Folder:

cd OctoPrint
3. Create a Virtual Environment:

python3 -m venv venv
4. Activate the Virtual Environment:

source venv/bin/activate
5. Install OctoPrint and Dependencies:

pip install -e '.[develop,plugins]'
6. Check Installation:

octoprint --help
7. Start OctoPrint Server:

octoprint serve
8. Locate Plugin Directory:

Typically ~/.octoprint/plugins.
9. Place Your Plugin:

Put your plugin Python file and any assets (JS, CSS) in the plugin directory.
10. Restart OctoPrint Server:

Stop the running OctoPrint server with Ctrl+C and start it again with octoprint serve.
I was able to get a plugin to show up by adding a file called "user_name_popup.py"


import octoprint.plugin

import os

import datetime

import logging

class UserNamePopupPlugin(octoprint.plugin.AssetPlugin,

octoprint.plugin.TemplatePlugin,

octoprint.plugin.EventHandlerPlugin):

def __init__(self):

self._logger = logging.getLogger("octoprint.plugins.user_name_popup")

def get_assets(self):

return {

"js": ["user_name_popup.js"]

}

def get_template_configs(self):

return [

{

"type": "generic",

"name": "User Name Popup",

"custom_bindings": True

}

]

def on_event(self, event, payload):

if event == "PrintStarted":

user_name = payload.get("user_name", "Unknown")

file_name = os.path.basename(payload["file"])

self._logger.info(f"{datetime.datetime.now()}, {user_name}, {file_name}")

__plugin_name__ = "User Name Popup Plugin"

__plugin_pythoncompat__ = ">=2.7,<4,>=3.10,<3.11"

__plugin_implementation__ = UserNamePopupPlugin()


------ This now shows in the plugin manager.
and I added a js file (user_name_popup.js) that is aimed at doing the popup when the button is printed, but it does not seem to get loaded and I can figure out why. The file:



$(function() {

console.log("Name Popup Script loaded"); // Debug statement

if ($("#job_print").length === 0) {

console.log("#job_print element not found"); // Debug statement

}

$("#job_print").click(function() {

console.log("Button clicked"); // Debug statement

var user_name = prompt("Please enter your name:", "");

if (user_name) {

OctoPrint.simpleApiCommand("user_name_popup", "set_user_name", {user_name: user_name})

.done(function(response) {

console.log(response);

});

}

});

});
