I too am having problems getting the self register to work.   Can you 
attach a sample password file??   When I click the New user, nothing 
happens.  I do not get the screen that shows on this demo site.

I am finding that '%s' passed to a $shell(...) command must be escaped when calling from Preset on reply, but not when calling Preset new.  Example:

[tickler]
Comment = Automated Tickler List Experiment
Attributes = Blurb, TickleDate
Type TickleDate = date
Required Attributes = Blurb
Preset TickleDate = $shell(date -d 'now + 30 days' '+%s')
Preset on reply TickleDate = $shell(date -d 'now + 30 days' '+%%s')
Date Format = %Y-%m-%d

Note that I have to escape the Preset on Reply's shell command argument with double percent signs, but not on Preset new.  The configuration I have provided here does work and correctly overrides the output per the Date Format spec.  This scenario should be easy to reproduce.

It could be I am doing something incorrectly, but it seems to me that there is no reason why the calls should need to be handled differently.  I can live with this for the moment, but I do hope it is fixed in a later release so that $shell calls have consistent syntax and semantics.

Hi Stefan,

When we use Webserver authentication, we have the correct username already in the variable http_user.

The old way of copying this http_user to "user" is wrong since we don't use the size of http_user.

Instead, just encode the http_user variable directly.

See attached patch against git HEAD.

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to setup elog as a docker container. I wonder if there is any reason why the elog debian package is stuck at version 3.1.3? Would it be possible to update it to the latest version? 

Thanks very much!
