I'm trying to use gmail to send password recovery e-mails, I get this error when I submit the email address.
"Error sending Email via "smtp.gmail.com": 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. 2sm5111524agd.34"
Any help or insight would be appreciated.

gmail uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) for the mail communication, which is currently not supported by elog. |

Mike wrote: |
Have a few issues here. The big one is that I have some users of our elog books
that are in India, while the server is in USA. When they click on thumbnail images
then press their browser back-button they get a page expired message and are
unable to see what they were looking at before unless they go back to the main
page. Is this an elog problem or something with Apache?

That's strange. Normal pages are set to "pre-expire" (expiration date 1983...) which forces the browser to always load them from the server. This is necessary since someone else could have modified that page and you would look at an old page in your browser's cache. But using this, I never saw a "page expired" message. The browser simply reloads the page. Maybe if the internet connection got lost in between and the browser cannot load the page from the server, you have a problem. Attached pictures have a expiration date of +1 day. So even if you span different time zones, that should be fine. Can they try to access https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/14 and see if they get the same problem there? This is my demo setup and resides in Switzerland.

button repeatedly or pressing their browser back button. I've suggested they
try not to do that.

The only way to get two entries is if you submit your entries twice. The same problem exists on some credit card payment sites, which explicitly state "please be patient, don't press submit twice, don't press back". The same applies for elog.

Last issue, is there a way to make thumbnail images open in a new window by default rather then the same window? This would help fix the first issue at least. Is there some setting to fix the page expiration/time-out issues?

No, this is not implemented right now. But if nothing else helps, I can add a new option. |

Stefan,
Thanks for writing back so fast. I'll have the folks in India check that link and see if the problem exists there.
I couldn't duplicate the problem here on my end. I'm beginning to think that it's a connection problem. They
tell me that the elog site (our site) is slow for them. It's only capable of 118kb/sec which, coupled with
the distance from USA to India might make things slow. In the USA I found the site to be usable and not that
slow. I'll let you know what they say about the test link.
Mike

Stefan,
I talked to my associate from India. He tried that link you provided and claims that even on your
site the "page expired" message occurs. Weird eh? Any ideas? |

Not much. Since they are the only ones reporting this problem, I'm tempted to attribute this to their local configuration (browser, proxy, etc.). Have they tried different browsers on different machines? |

I think you are right. I suggested those things to them. I believe this issue is closed here. |

Hello !
Is any posibility to set quick filter, for fields with atribute "date", to exactly value, like 15/07/2009, instead of drop menu with values like - last day, last week, etc ?
Tnx in advance !
|
No, this is not imlemented. But you can go to the "Find" page, and select the "Start" and "End" date with the calendar picker tool. This are a few more clicks to do, but puttting this all into the quick filter would not fit there. |
