I made an interim 2.7.8-3 version which contains the fix and can be downloaded from the web site.
icon3.gif   Can other pages hide behind elog user authentication?, posted by Jason St. John on Sat Apr 17 01:06:58 2010 

Hello,

The elog security suits me just fine: the content is not available unless users have logged in, and as administrator I have complete control over who that is and what their privileges are. I can easily share somewhat sensitive notes, plots, and findings without making them completely open to the world. 

I have a project which generates html pages, which I'm also not really supposed to make public to the world.  I'd rather not resort to attaching them to elog entries.

Could the elog security be extended to control access to other files I put on the server? 

Thanks,

-jmsj

If you don't want  to make elog attachments, don't use elog at all. Just use a simple web server like Apache. Most web servers have some mean to protect certain web pages with passwords etc.

 Hi Stefan,

I'd like to request a feature: automatic alphabetization of the items in the Quick Filter menus.

We track quite a few detector assemblies, which are produced with non-sequential designations. It would be useful if the Quick Filter list was automatically sorted alphabetically to make it more convenient for folks to find a particular item.

I know people can always search by designation but it would be handy to have this alpha sorting feature. Would it be possible to include that in a future release?

Thanks again for a *very* useful logging system!

The order of items in a Quick Filter menu is exactly as in the configuration file. Like if you have items

Options Type = C, D, A, B

they are shown like that in the quick filter menu. If you want to sort them, just do the sorting yourself in the configuration file like

Options Type = A, B, C, D

I have not implemented automatic sorting since some people want a different order, like some main topics at top. So by following the order from the configuration file, everybody can be satisfied just by chaning the order in the config file.

 Yes, I have been manually sorting and resorting. We have extendable attributes and the list keeps growing so I have to resort every so often. I thought perhaps a simple alphanumeric sort as an option would be popular with most users so I thought I'd ask for it. It would really simplify things for me. Users who want to sort manually could do so by disabling the option. It never hurts to ask!

 

Ok, I implemented

Sort attribute options = 1

in the current SVN revision. 

 I've tried adding this statement to my cfg file but the attributes are still unsorted in the QuickFilter menus. Was this implemented in 2.7.7?

Shouldn't an existing configuration file entry like
Options Type = C, D, A, B
be sorted in the QuickFilter menu as A B C D?

You need revision 2252 or later. So you have to upgrade to 2.7.8.

Hi, Stefan!

Sometimes, it is annoying that the
[code]
-Tag creates a line break, because there are situations where verbatim text inside the regular text flow is desirable (just like here). I would like to request an additional elcode-tag
[ilcode]
(in-line code) which translates to
<code>
instead of
<pre>
.

Cheers

Yoshio

The [code] tags produce <pre>...</pre> tags for multi-line listings, where several spaces should not be dropped to keep the formatting of some source code for example. I also want it sometimes in a single line, so what I do is to use a [FONT=Courier New] tag, which produces output very similar to <code>, but without line breaks.

 We have upgraded to 2.7.8 but this still doesn't seem to work. The quick menus are still unsorted. Does it work for you?
