Dear Stefan, after a long time I managed to get a test setup. The line that creates the misbehaviour is

Guest Menu Commands      = List, Find, Login, Help

which seems inocuous! But with this line a user with inactive account can login without validation. Without this line I get also the proper web page indicating that the account has to be activated when I register as new user.

Another little annoyance: When a user is prevented from login ("The account is currently deactivated") there is NO WAY to login, as any action with Elog tries to use the (non activated) username and password. I can't get back the login page!

Thanks

Great. This this description I could reproduce the error and fix it. The fix is in SVN revision 2414.

Cheers, Stefan. 

 If you could also obtain the display of the message "Your request has been forwarded to the administrator.You will be notified by email upon activation of your new account." when a new user apply in the presence of the Guest Menu commands, that would be perfect. Cheers

icon1.gif   Spurious characters in the searched string, posted by Olivier Callot on Mon Sep 26 08:13:10 2011 Capture.PNG

Hi,

We have a problem with the search command: Since our last upgrade to v2.9.0-2418 the searched string is pre- and postfixed with ASCII character expressed in % format, see the attached image. The searched string is prefied with %255E and postfxed by %2524 in the URL. And teh search fails. This affects searches from drop-down menus.

Thanks in advance.

Strange. In this forum it works without extra characters. Just try it yourself. Do you have any strange configuration? Can you send me a minimal elogd.cfg which produces that error, maybe derived from the example elogd.cfg from the distribution.

 Well, It may be our implementation of re-routing web requests: The requested string in elog  is prefixed by %5E (^) and postfixed by %24 ($). But in my case, the '%' is again escaped as %25 so the prefix becomes %255E that is not understood by elog as being '^' ...

I will see with my experts in routing if this is something that can be fixed in our configuration. But when elog processes the input string, it should un-escape these characters and find back the '^', no?

 It turned out to be a setting of our re-routing of requests that re-escaped the '%'. Sorry for the noise. Cheers

icon1.gif   Truncation of the displayed text in Summary view of the list of entries, posted by Olivier Callot on Thu Mar 8 10:01:47 2012 

In the summary view, it seems that the text is truncated at the first "<" character. See https://lblogbook.cern.ch/Shift/48812 for a simple entry, then use the 'list' command to see that only a very small part is displayed.

That's a feature

In the summary view, I cannot use any HTML code, since it will screw up the table layout. Therefore elog searches for any "<" and ">" pairs and removes the text in between. In principle one could do a better job, but I do not want to write a complete HTML interpreter just for that purpose. 

 Well, this is a choice. But if the encoding of the entry is 'plain', you could just avoid checking for embeded HTML. We use the summary view constantly for our main experiment logbook. Thanks anyway.

icon8.gif   Max Logbooks for Email notify, posted by Oliver Kleinau on Wed Apr 8 11:40:27 2015 

Hi,

we've got 109 logbooks in Elog. Whenever I set a notify for all logbooks in configuration menu it is limited to 73 entrys. After saving the changes the rest of the entrys are cut off.
I've already searched in the sourcecode if I can find some limitation for that but without success.

When I change the password file by hand, it is working as long as I don't change anything in the configuration that rewrites the file.

Regards,
Oliver

It seems to be the GET buffer of the elog-Server. The GET statement is cut off after &sub_lb72=1&sub_ eg. 1000 chars.
