Re: elog allows me to create user "blahblah "

Dimitrios Tsirigkas wrote:

I noticed that when I register a username that contains whitespaces (eg "boing "), elog allows me to create the user of that name and updates the password file accordingly. It doesn't log me in, but it gives me no error message either. I also found that if I repeat the process it adds yet another entry in the password file, by the same name "boing ". Is that a bug or is there something wrong with my configuration?

Well, I tell you what is wrong: The form says explicitly (name may not contain blanks) and you did not listen Tongue

I can add a simple check if the name contains blanks, but then some people will come up with other strange characters (@#$%), and I'm not sure which of those gives problems. If you test this carefully and tell me which characters to make forbidden, I will happyly add a simple check.

Re: compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform

I have checked and can find no reference within Sun documents regarding the support of the forkpty() function. I have not been following elog development lately -- what is shell substitution supposed to buy us?

See the config manual and look for $shell

I wouldn't want some imposter to start entering stuff under the username of another user, so it would be nice if I could have some way of forcing them to have a password, even if it's a one-letter password.

Ok, I added an empty password check. If too many people will complain, I will make it a flag.

Obviously I would like to be able to sort the result of a find-query.

That worked some time ago, but did not work currently. So I fixed that in the current SVN version.

Re: Numbered lists get closed by </ul>

T. Ribbrock wrote:

I just ran into the following problem (and was able to reproduce it in the "demo" logbook on this site):

Create a new entry

Create a numbered list:

[LIST=1]
[*] 1st entry
[*] 2nd entry
[/LIST]

In the resulting HTML code, the closing statement of that list translates to </ul> instead of </ol>, causing the list to remain open and all following text to be intented by the list indentation. This gets worse when several such lists are used in one document. I'll include an example below.

Numbered list follows:

one
two
three

This text is indented, as the list was not closed properly.

four
five
six

And now we have double indention...

I can't see any double indention there...

But seriously Wink

I fixed that problem and updated this elog server already. It's in SVN revison 1653. The code now correctly chooses the proper </ul> or </ol>. What will not work however are nested lists, like an ordered list inside an unordere list, but that's anyhow very uncommon.

Re: Problem with MOptions

Ulrich Trüssel wrote:

After upgrading to 2.6.1-1 (actually donwgraded in case of this problem to 2.6.0) i was not longer able to selct more than one MOptions selection in my ELOGs. Only the first slected selection was acepted by ELOG. Ex:

MOptions Test = Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg

Selecting: Bb, Cc, Gg

Submitting the entry form, autoreturn to the overview of the even made entry, only Bb was taken.

Any Idea what's happen? Did I miss something changing in 2.6.1-1 or may this be a bug? Thanks for ideas?

Would loke to upgreade to 2.6.1. in case of the new forms for long MOptions, but need to selct more than one!

That should work in 2.6.1-2 now.

Error sending Email via "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx": Syntax error, parameters in command "MAIL FROM: christopher_warner@xxx.gov SIZE=1985" unrecognized or missing

There are two possible reasons:

1) The email address "christopher_warner@xxx.gov" is invalid. Some SMTP server immediately complain about invalid email addresses and refuse to send any mail then. In that case just supply an existing email address or remove that test account.

2) The SMTP server does not like the "SIZE=xxx" option. This comes from a single line in elogd.c:

snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s SIZE=%d\r\n", from, strlen(text));

you could just go there and remove the " SIZE=%d", so that the line looks like:

snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s\r\n", from);

to see if that makes any difference.

Re: menu commands - user list does not match config list

Alan Stone wrote:

I am attempting to configure the Elog for use at the CMS Remote Operations Center
at Fermilab. I included the following option:

Menu commands = List, New, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Last day, Config, Admin, Login, Logout, Help

but the available list (after restarting the elog daemon) gives me:

CMS ROC Logbook, Page 1 of 1 Logged in as "Alan Stone" ELOG Home

Did I miss a step in the syntax instructions?

Yap. There are two menus, one for the listing page which contains only line per entry, and one for the individual entry page. You changed the one for the individual entry page, which you will see when you slick on any entry. To change the listing page manu, do a List Menu commands = ...
