Well, that's how it should be. All other systems I know like Windows NT
Login, Linux login etc. are case-sensitive, so we should follow that standard. |

Increase attachment file size for elog command line client, posted by Kevin Ellwood on Fri Sep 27 19:17:58 2002
|
Hi,
I am having trouble modifying the elog client to allow larger attachment. I
have elogd configure for attchment sizes of 10Meg and I would like the
option to be able to use the elog client. Can anyone give me key points as
to how to go about doing this? I have tried but I must be missing something.
Also, as a suggestion, it might make sense to add a MAX_ATTACHMENT_SIZE def
in a common header file.
Thanks

I modified the elog program such that the attachment buffer is dynamically
allocated which means that it works with any size. Please find the updated
version at
http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/elog/elog.c?rev=1.10
Note that for attachments larger than ~2MB, one hase to increase the
WEB_BUFFER_SIZE in elogd.c.

wrapping of text in edit field, posted by Willem Koster on Fri Nov 1 13:33:01 2002
|
I noticed a long url got hard-wrapped when I entered a long one, I patched
the source code. I don't know if this was done intentionally, otherwise you
might want to change this also.
diff elogd.c elogd.c.org
4468c4468
< rsprintf("<textarea rows=20 cols=%d wrap=soft name=Text>", width);
---
> rsprintf("<textarea rows=20 cols=%d wrap=hard name=Text>", width);
BTW, why is the editor window 20 rows by 76 columns ?
(20 is fixed in the source code, but 76 is the width-variable that is set
hard to:
/* set textarea width */
width = 76;
Now I don't like both parameters. 20 is too long for my display (1024x768)
and 76 is too short. Something dynamically would be cool, but a parameter
somewhere in a config file would also be acceptable. (just a thought, makes
it easier to upgrade) |
New ELOG entry, posted by Willem Koster on Fri Nov 1 13:39:41 2002
|
When I make a new entry I get an email with
subject: New ELOG entry
But when I or someone else changes an entry I also get an email with a
subject: New ELOG entry
I would prefer to see "Changed" , "Edited", or "Updated". This is beyond my
programming capabilities so I enter this request. |

If the wrap=soft is used, users tend to enter very long lines (without
hitting return in between). If this line then gets displayed, it can be very
wide and the user has to horizontally scroll the browser window. What I can
do is in the display (not the entry) to concatenate URLs which are separated
only by a CR/LF. But you then have some cases where you have an URL to the
end of the line, then some other text starting on the next line, which then
get concatenated falsely (unless you use some clever code which scans
for ".html" or "xxx/xxx" or something like that.

You always had the option "Message width = xx" to change the width on the
text box, and I added in V 2.2.2 the parameter "Message height = xx" where
you can change the 20 to something else. |

I have implemented this feature in V2.2.2. |
