icon4.gif   Numbered lists get closed by </ul>, posted by T. Ribbrock on Mon Jan 30 16:26:08 2006 
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:

  1. one
  2. two
  3. three

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

  1. four
  2. five
  3. six

And now we have double indention...
icon5.gif   elog allows me to create user "blahblah ", posted by Dimitrios Tsirigkas on Fri Feb 3 18:15:47 2006 
Hi,

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?

Cheers,
Dimitris

By the way, it is also possible to create a user that doesn't have a password! Shouldn't that be forbidden?

Well, some people want that!

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.

Ok, fair enough. But maybe there could be an optional flag in the configuration that disables blank passwords... 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.

Thanks,

Dimitris

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

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.
