The only suggestion I have it to make sure you are logged in as Admin, and that Admin has permissions for that function.

Pretty sure the only code controlling enable/disable on that button is Users permissions. Disable OPT_USE_AUTH in options system to confirm it is a permissions issue, see if that works. If it does then check your accounts permissions in the Users tab of options, needs to have Monitors = Edit permissions.

I doubt this is a version issue, but 1.28.1 has lots of changes on 1.26.x
Production Zoneminder 1.37.x (Living dangerously)
Random Selection of Cameras (Dahua and Hikvision)

Maybe it's really a problem related authorization.
I installed zoneminder as "pi" user but I can log in only as "admin". This user in zoneminder has not permission to "add new monitor" or create a new user.
So I can't create a new user call "pi".
How can I change user permission by command line?

I was having the same problem on RPi with a fresh installation of Rasbpian Jessie. I finally realized that none of the buttons or functions in the ZM web interface that were javascript-based were working, and this led me to a fix that worked (for me).

I enabled the common javascript directory in the Apache configuration:

Code: Select all

sudo a2enconf javascript-common
Then restarted Apache and Zoneminder:

Code: Select all

sudo service apache2 restart
sudo service zoneminder restart
Not sure why this step isn't included in the wiki instructions for installing zoneminder on Raspbian. Hope it helps!
