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 |

No, that's not true. A

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. |

Tried installing on Fedora 11 - failed dependency on libssl.so.6 I have libssl.so.8 installed. What do I need to do to install this package?
thanks,

The easiest is if you install from source by downloading the tar ball. It's hard these days to make a RPM which runs on all possible distributions. I would have to maintain a zoo of new and old distributions, which I don't have the hardware for. Or you go and install libssl.so.6 by hand. |
