Is it possible to create pages with textfiles stored in the configuration folder, like it is/was possible with sitemaps?
Someting like pages/overview.page or something like that?
no. Just like with HABPanal, the configs get saved in userdata. There is currently no support and I donāt think any is planned to create a language and config parser for Pages. But as with anything, Iām sure if someone steps up to build something like that it would not be rejected.
Where exactly is it stored?
So for openhab3 it is not possible to copy my needed files to my directory? For openhab 2 I could just clone my git repo with all my things, items, rules, sitemaps and so on to my folder and most of it was working. In openhab I have to recreate all my pages?
$USERDATA/jsondb along with everything else that is done through the REST API.
No one is saying that. You just need to include the folders in $USERDATA as part of your git repo. Exclude cache, tmp, jsondb/backups, and probably persistence. If you want to capture your full OH config, you should be saving those files and folders anyway.
I do this myself. All the files in the remaining folders I mention, including those in jsondb are text files too and therefore very git friendly.
And Iām not just saying this theoretically. It is literally how I configuration control my own openHAB 2 and openHAB 3 deployment too. To redeploy I check out my configs from my personal git server.
Ok, thank you for the information.
I just changed some values in my jsondb/uicomponents_ui_page.json as those are the pages and changed some values. But when I check the yaml in the UI then there are still the old values. Is there any action necessary? Even after a restart the values are the old ones.
You do not want to edit the JSONDB manually while OH is running. OH doesnāt reload those files when they change and will write out to those files on any changes through the REST API. So you need to make sure OH is not running if you want to edit the JSONDB manually.

Ok, I stopped openhab, changed the file and started it. But no change in the UI.
I even deleted the file /var/lib/openhab/jsond/uicomponents_ui_page.json , cleaned the cache and started but the pages are still visible in the UI.
I havenāt looked into how Pages are stored but I think they are stored in at least one other JSONDB file in that folder. Iām pretty sure widgets are stored separately.
Also, the Overview Page is automatically generated. You canāt delete it.

I believe these JSON DB files are restored from the ones in the ābackupā directory (userdata/jsondb/backup) automatically if theyāre missing.
So if you delete it youāll have to delete the backup as well.
Yes you are right. Now Iāve understood the behavior. Thank you for your information.
Is it possible to open pages in fullscreen? Iāve created a great Dashboard and I want to have this on a wallmounted tablet but without the openhab menu bar on the left side. If i try to open the page in a new tab it only says: Problem accessing /page/page_b9a60713e4. Reason: Not Found.
Looking for your answers and best regards
Flo
No, that is not possible.
There has already an issue been filed to optionaly remove the leftside navigation on tablets.
@ysc, any update on this ?

Just saw the little pin after upgrading to S2065.
Great as usual 
How do you delete a sitemap in pages? I have only a save option in the top right corner.
Also Ctrl+click on the list to select, if you have a keyboard.

But when I select a color in the oh color picker item palette 1 time: this happens a lot of times:

So it is not stopping sending the color again and again.
After toggling the on off button it sometimes stops. But when I then try to send an event via the list item it is sending the color directly after sending the effect:

So it is not possible to send an event again because it will be overwritten by the color.
When I then try to change the event value of my Item Licht_Weihnachtsbaum_Effect in Settings - Items it will also be overwritten by the color.
How could this be resolved?
@ysc Should I open an issue in github or is this not possible as this is currently under development? Maybe you are also already aware of this bug
I just reproduced it with some Hue lights, in factā¦ thatās bad indeed. Iāll have a look at it. It doesnāt happen every time, though, but I got the same problem as you once.
