Hey, elog made it to MiniBooNE! I'm working on MEG...
What you need is the following:Preset on reply subject = Re: $subject
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on Reply Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
The Subst statements work after the entry gets submitted, while the preset statements work before. So Preset on Reply <attribute> is what you need.

The substitution $logbook originally produces a valid URL to the logbook, and thus replaces blanks by "+". I changed that so that $logbook produces the original name containing blanks, and $elogbook is the encoded one with the "+"'s. The change is in revision 1.723 |

Depending of what your paranoia level is 
Substitute is the only way I have to be assure it is as I want ... yes, in real life nobody of my users will never try to change the generated HTML ad replace by hand the Author, but ...  |

No, that's not true. A
Locked attributes = Author
will do the job as well. |

I can't argue how it works ...
The following code will assure that, if the HTML generated by elog would be modified by hand by a malicious user the server can still preset the author field with the right $long_name?
Locked attributes = Author
Preset on Reply Author = $long_name
how works in details the "Locked Attribute" parameter then ?? ... |

Ok, you're right. But that requires quite some knowledge to change the generated HTML by hand. So for paranoiac people the "Subst" might be better. Actually you could have both the "Preset on Reply" and the "Subst on Reply", so on the reply entry form one sees already the correct author. |

 | Chris Green | greenc@fnal.gov | Question | Linux | 2.6.0b | New and reply pages don't use Page Title |
Is this intentional, or can it be changed? I'd like every page associated with a particular logbook to use that logbook's page title as at least part of its own.
Also, is it possible to have a reply comment in the same way as one has a message comment?
Thanks,
Chris. |
