| Midas User | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Bug report | Windows | 3.1.0-3 | Re: Attribute not updated |
> I saw in the doc that an attribute cant be bigger than 100 char. but I couldn't figure the maximum size for options... I'm wondering if the issue comes from the browser not refreshing correctly or if its elog..
The number of possible options is limited in elog to 100. This is defined by MAX_N_LIST in elogd.h. You can try to increase it and recompile elogd, but no guarantee that this works.
The reason that it *sometimes* work is really a bug, I should do better limit checkings...

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Bug fix | All | 3.1.0 | Re: parse a correctly the username in save_user_config when using Webserver authentication |
Hi Christof,
thanks for the patch, I merged it into the current HEAD.

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.

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Request | All | 3.1.0 | Re: logout to external page |
I implemented it, but actually called it Logout to URL = <URL>

Hi Stefan,
I am happy to see that you include the webserver authentication.
So I can now login at some other page and then access elog.
However, I would also need some means of logging out some where else.
For this I propose a new Configuration option "Logout to page" which redirects to another page if set and "Logout to main" is 0.
See the attached patch (against git HEAD)
Does this make sense to you ?
Christof
PS: Many thanks for the autosave mode, I already used it ;-)

Any better now?

Hi Stefan,
I see that you've updated the elog running this forum today, 5 versions after you reported fixing the "A new elog entry has been entered" and "An old elog entry has been updated" issue. But the emails coming out are still all of the "An old elog entry...", rather than "A new..."

Hi Stefan,
here is a draft of how you could describe the webserver authentication in your docs.

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.0-2 | ELOG Forum: drafts cannot be deleted |
> Another strange thing: the draft got submitted when I hit the "Back" button after reopening it.
Well, this is a problem indeed. When edit entries now, drafts gets saved regularly, overwriting your original entry. This is a limitation of the elog database, which cannot do full versioning. So "Back" is actually the same as "Commit without email notification". Or better "Commit some ten seconds ago". Now I
don't know what the best solution is. I'm tempted to just remove the "Back" button and replace it with a "Delete" button. So people can either submit an entry or delete it completely. Any thoughts? |

Just read what I wrote at elog:67983

Just to comment that the expected emails that one would have expected with the last two entries have either
been held up or simply have not been generated and sent - both the preceeding entries were submitted by using the "Back" button, this time I'll use the "Submit" button, which should generate a email.

Hi Stefan,
I had started to write a completely different bug report, but then realised I had not checked a detail. I had written about one sentence. So I decided to abort the message, and hit the "back" button. Only I found that this had created a new entry in the elog listings. I immediately went in and deleted it, but I had expected the "Back" button to have aborted the entry (as it does in 2.9.x) not to submit the entry!
It doesn't seem to have created an email, though. And for the sake of all your users, I'd not want to experiment here on the matter too much!

Making a new release takes me about an hour (compile under Windows, Linux, Mac OSX), so I don't do it for each little change. If you want to follow the development closely, I recommend that you learn to compile elog from the GIT repository. It's pretty easy: a git pull, followed by a make and make install.
If you want to see which changes are already in the version you are running, look at the 7 digit GIT hash at the bottom of each elog page and compare it with the bitbucket repository:

Hi,
I compiled the 3.1.0-2 source rpm from the download area. Unless there is a minor release, I think the problem is still there. Thank you.
