We have quite a number of logbooks and when someone requests a login account AND elects to register with all of the logbooks, the resulting URL is apparently too long for browsers to handle when the admins click on the link embedded in the email notification. For example, FireFox (latest ver) appears to truncate the URL *after* submission (the correct URL is there before submission).
My question: Is it possible to limit - or remove - the checkboxes that the user can select during registration? I realize that this is a browser issue but I doubt I can persuade those guys to fix FireFox.
Thanks. |
I changed the current SVN version (#1909) to show only the list of logbooks if there are ten or less logbooks, in order not to make the URL too long. On the activation by the administrator, the list of subscribed logbooks appears as previously, but all are unchecked. So it's the task of the administrator to enable subscriptions or not. |

I can see a customer becoming confused if they did not see their logbook listed. Just turn off the selection completely. Otherwise, this will work but I fear will generate more questions as in "Why isn't logbook <blah> listed?"
Thanks!

I agree, that's inconsistent. So I removed the logbook list completely (SVN revision 1914) and added a note on the user notification that they should click 'config' to subscribe to any logbook. |

| David Spindler | dsspindler@gmail.com | Bug report | Windows | 2.6.2-1734 | Bug? Password file location changed | I just tried to upgrade from 2.6.1-1633 to 2.6.2-1734. Whenever I tried to access the elog, it showed my password to be invalid. I tried this on 2 machines and same results. I did notice on the second one when I started it from a command prompt that it was creating a new empty password file in a different location.
I have a password file called pwd.txt. It resides in the main elog directory, in my case, c:\elog, along with the elgod.exe and elogd.cfg. Apparently, the new version looks for it in the logbooks directory. I adjusted my path to the file and it works fine.
I am reporting this as a bug because it is my guess that this is not an expected result. I would expect the old elogd.cfg file to work without altering in the newer version.
Thanks, keep up the great work, Stefan. You have a great program.

I also just noticed that the text files I use for presetting the text window also have to be in the logbooks directory. |

Thanks. I checked the changelog and the documentation for any such changes but did not see them. I just looked again, and still do not see them. Anyway, I know what to expect, now, and will adjust. Again, thanks! |

That change was actually made in SVN revision 1708 on Aug. 1st, 2006, which was after the release of 2.6.2. So it will be made official in 2.6.3 and documented accordingly. |

| Fergus Lynch | flynch@alternativenetworks.com | Question | Windows | 2.6.2-1734 | $long_name in Moptions | Hi,
Is there a way of having $long_name in 'Moptions'?
We use ELOG (amongst other things!) to allocate work out to Developers (who are all configured as ELOG users) I would like to use 'checkbox' functionality to allocate out a task to more than one developer. Currently only a single developer is chosen from a drop down list.
Thanks
Fergus |
