Hey all,
I wanted to write a quick plugin to give an example of using Deface to
alter pages in Foreman's core from a plugin. A few people have asked for a
way to add a custom column to the Hosts view, so I thought that might make
a good example.
So, I present v1 of ForemanColumnView, available at:
It adds a custom column to the right of Last Report on the /hosts view. It
defaults to showing the associated domain (not very useful as that's part
of the FQDN), but you can configure it from settings.yaml in foreman-core.
There's a few caveats. Since it uses Host.send(), you have to ask for a
method that the Host object knows how to respond to. Furthermore, it can
only be one level deep - e.g "domain" will work, but "domain.fullname"
probably won't. Patches welcome 
I've tested it myself by displaying the last known uptime from the host's
facts. Seems to work.
Hopefully it's useful, both in itself, and also as a Deface example.
Cheers,
Greg
