Well, restructuring the cookies would be rather work intensive. Right now we have one user name cookie unm
used for all logbooks. To distinguish betwen logbooks, one would need cookies in the form <logbook name>_unm and <logbook name>_upwd. Let me think about.

Well, you didn't realize, but you were my beta-tester for the keyboard shortcuts Big grin . I didn't yet publish it, so you must have gotten this brand new feature from SVN. I'm still fine-tuning shortcuts. I realized that CTRL-C which I used for CODE is normally used for Copy/Paste, so I changed that already to CTRL-O to free up CTRL-C. Since tables are not so often used, I removed it now completely. There is also CTRL-P for Preview and CTRL-ENTER for Submit. While this works now nice on Mozilla based browsers, I cannot intercept CTRL keys on IE. I know you and I don't care, but many people unfortunately do. So get the SVN update, and let me know what you think, if there is still something to be modified before I make the official release.

Actually this is not a good idea. Most people I know have several logbooks, but a common password file. Access control is then fine-tuned via 'Login user = ...'. Now if I implement a per-logbook cookie, these people would have to log in once for each logbook. If the go to a new browser which does not contain their old cookies, or if the cookies expire, they would have to log in again once for each logbook. On installations with 20 and more logbooks this can be cumbersome. So all these people would complain.

You should really have told me Wink . Actually, I found out about the <Ctrl-C> issue while using this logbook.

Did so, we are running now -1826. I think it is very usable, with maybe one exception (this might be a browser issue, however): When using the shortcuts and/or the ELCode buttons, sometimes the code is generated and the cursor in between the [XX] and [/XX] directive, but sometimes, the whole code directive is selected as if for editing

which prevents from immediately continuing to type (which, I guess, was the idea behind the shortcuts). The behaviour is not completely reproducible, and I have even seen it change during one and the same browser (=firefox) session while working on the same entry (*). I also had it once that the browser out of a sudden completely ignored the ELCode meaning, and instead used <Ctrl-I> for page info and <Ctrl-B> for the history.

(*) It just happened again!


BTW, there are (of course Big grin) two other issues. They are still present in -1826
- one bug was reported by a logbook user: when using the "find" function in a logbook, and selecting one value from the "Author" drop-down list and another from the "Category" drop-down list, the elogd reports no entries found, but when specifying only the "Author" and leaving "Category" blank, many entries are found, including those with the "Category" being looked for. When specifying only the "Category" and leaving the "Author" blank, the elogd also reports no entries found. Has anyone reported a similar behaviour?

- We have one logbook top group for the beamtimes. Under certain conditions, a preset text is to be displayed. 
{2&a} Preset Text = resource/text_1.txt
{2&b} Preset Text = resource/text_2.txt
However, the definitions of these conditions have to be repeated for every logbook in the group (putting it only under [global beamtimes] doesn't do it), otherwise they are ignored.

Any idea on these?

I found at least that problem. If you select one or more words and press CTRL-B for example, your selection is surrounded by the [B]...[/B] tags. If you double click with your mouse on a word, usually the space between this word and the next word is selected as well. I modified the code such that if there is a blank at the end of a selection, it gets stipped off before placing the tags. This had the side-effect that if there was no selection at all, you got the reported mis-behaviour if there was a blank at your cursor position. I fixed that now in the updated elcode.js.

Your other problem of ignoring the control keys at all I could not reproduce. Try to reproduce it in a well-defined way and let me know.

I tried to reproduce this, but without success. I made a very simple config file like:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Quick filter = Type, Category

And produced some entries with various attribute values. But when selecting them from the quick filter, or selecting them from the find page, both gave correct results. Maybe you used a userlist attribute for the author?

Is there any way to change the cookie structure so as to allow one (physical) user to be logged on as more than one elog user at a time?


Actually there is a way, but I completely forgot about that. The manual says:


ELOG manual wrote:

If any of the password statements are in the [global] area of the configuration files, they are used for all logbooks. If one logs in at one logbook, access is automaticlly granted to all logbooks. If the password statements are in the individual logbook sections, one has to log in to each logbook separately.


That should help. Just put the password file = ... into the individual logbook sections, and you should get what you want. You can check this by inspecting the cookies (first you have to delete all cookies in your browser). With passoword files for individual logbooks you should see an associated Path for each logbook, so the login cookie only gets submitted to that logbook, allowing differnt user names/passwords for different logbooks.

I will try to do that (new beamtime, new occasions ... Wink).

No, I didn't. I will try to investigate this further and let you know if I find anything.

So for the moment ... thanks for the help!

I tried to reproduce with this code:
[global]
port = 8080
password file = passwd
SMTP host = mail.psi.ch

{1}Preset text = Routine
{2}Preset text = Other

[demo]
Attributes = Author, Type
Options Type = Routine{1}, Other{2}

but it worked fine. Maybe some other problem?
