That's strange. This error should only occur if someone uses a user name or 
password with more than 256 characters, which I hope is not the case. Have 
you tried changing your password etc. in this forum? It also runs 2.1.0 on 
Linux.

I made a version under 

http://midas/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/elog/elogd.c?rev=2.67&content-
type=text/plain

which has improved error output for this problem, maybe this helps.

Hi, 

changed the VALUE_SIZE from 256 to 512. That seems to fix the problem.

icon4.gif   Problem with konqueror and pulldown menu (in config menu), posted by Stefan Siegel on Fri Aug 16 10:14:19 2002 
Hi ,

currently I am running Elog 2.1.1; when using a konqueror browser (ver. 
2.2.1, kde 2.2.1) the admin user cannot access in the Config menu the Login 
infos for other users except himself. The pulldown menu "Select user" is 
shown, but when the admin selects another user the info fields (Login name, 
full name, email) are not updated. They still show the attribute values for 
the admin user himself.

Is there a solution available?
Thanks (also for this very useful tool) and regards,

Stefan

This operation is done via Java Script, which has to be enabled in the 
browser. If anybody knows a better way, please let me know.
icon4.gif   Icons for sorted entries, posted by Stefan Siegel on Wed Sep 11 18:44:51 2002 
Hi,

when do a search and then sorting the outcome of the search via clicking on 
an attribute (to sort it in descending or vice versa order) there should an 
icon be displayed (up.gif or down.gif). But the icons could not be found due 
to a wrong path to the gif files: 

/elog/config//themes/default/up.gif 

Be aware of the two slashes!! Should only be one.

Best regards,


Stefan

Weired, the icon is displayed in the search page just as "up.gif", and the 
elogd server should get this from the current themes/default/ directory. Try 
http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Forum/up.gif . So where do you get your two 
slashes from?
icon5.gif   expand flag, posted by tony summerfelt on Thu Dec 12 19:02:03 2002 
i have expand flag set to 0 but it doesn't seem to be working...

i can expand and collapse via the links, or if i make sure the url includes it.

It workes here flawlessly. Can you double check the spelling etc. If 
everything is ok, can you send me your elogd.cfg for analysis?
