Stefan, we require registration with elog. We have quite a number of logbooks and when someone requests a login account AND elects to register with all of the logbooks, the resulting URL is apparently too long for browsers to handle when the admins click on the link embedded in the email notification. For example, FireFox (latest ver) appears to truncate the URL *after* submission (the correct URL is there before submission).

My question: Is it possible to limit - or remove - the checkboxes that the user can select during registration? I realize that this is a browser issue but I doubt I can persuade those guys to fix FireFox.

Thanks.


I changed the current SVN version (#1909) to show only the list of logbooks if there are ten or less logbooks, in order not to make the URL too long. On the activation by the administrator, the list of subscribed logbooks appears as previously, but all are unchecked. So it's the task of the administrator to enable subscriptions or not.

So the list is shown to the one requesting the registration? Would it be possible to have an option that, when selected, simply did not list any logbooks? I can see a customer becoming confused if they did not see their logbook listed. Just turn off the selection completely. Otherwise, this will work but I fear will generate more questions as in "Why isn't logbook <blah> listed?"

Thanks!
