Subject: Guest menu commands not working as advertisted 

Hello,

I am trying to set up my elog to have read-only guest access and require registration/password for users to be able to post to the elog. I've tried following the instructions here: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/faq.html#6, i.e. putting the following lines under the [global] section of my elogd.cfg file:

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help

 

When I do this, I do get guest acccess, however the menu items are

New |  Find |  Select |  Import |  Config |  Logout |  Last day |  Help 

rather than the List, Find, Login, Help I would expect. Also, if I click on Logout, it simply does nothing, which means there's now no way to log in as a registered user.

Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

 

Thanks,

Greg
