We use ELOG 2.3.5 for Windows with a German language file and have found
some new problems:
. Certain strings are not translated.
Language error: string "Plese log on by clicking on following link and
change your password" not found for language "de"
Language error: string "A new password for user <i>"%s"</i> has been sent
to %s" not found for language "de"
While the first string is obviously written wrong, the second one misses a
quotation mark.
. If a user uses the new "password forgotten" function, he receives an
email, but after having clicked the URL in the mail, he gets the following
error message as simple text, i.e. not formatted by use of the CSS file:
Invalid URL: Notizen/?redir=%3Fcmd%3DChange%20password%26old_pwd%
3DE3ARcjI/&uname=sal&upassword=E3ARcjI/
Bitte benutzen Sie die Zurück-Taste Ihres Browsers ...
Nevertheless the new password was written into the specified password file.
(This behaviour as far as we know was also with earlier versions of ELOG.)
. If one could not log in through the button "Login", one does not receive
an error message, but will be pushed simply back to the main page,
status "Not logged in". (This was as far as we know was also with earlier
versions of ELOG.)
. If you want to change as an admin the passwords of several users, it
would be convenient, to get always back to the page, where you may choose
the next user ... but you will be pushed back to the main page with the
messages. (This was as far as we know was also with earlier versions of
ELOG.)
. But the simple change of passwords for users does not always succeed: I
have changed the password for a user A to "anuvis", the next user B should
have gotten the same new password, but this time it was not accepted.
Message "Wrong password". Might it be, that this goes only once because of
an initialisation problem ? I had to edit the password file manually.
. Opera browser 7.03 simply crashes, when choosing the direct URL to our
logbook, i.e. http://localhost:8080/logbook2. We have set a general
password file and a different read password for each of our logbooks.
If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook1 everything is fine. We get a
window "Authentication required" and type in simply the read password, no
user name.
If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook2 the behaviour is different. We
see the window "Authentication required" appear, then Opera crashes.
Change of the read passwords did not change this erroneous behaviour. This
problem was not with version ELOG 2.3.4.
In Internet Explorer 6 all is okay.
. NOWRAP tag in Date column
The date column takes quite a lot of space in the logs overview. As the
information is only of secondary importance I would prefer date and time
being wrapped like e.g. the contributors name. Of course, I could help
myself with a in my language file, but this would force a break also
on
the single message view. |
