"Guest menu commands" not changing the menu line, posted by Steve Jones on Wed Mar 28 21:00:17 2007
|
I tried adding the lines below to my Global section, and while Guest access is turned on the menu line does not change. I tried searching SVN change logs for a comment regarding any 'guest' bugs but found nothing. Was this a problem at some point and fixed? I noticed that the Midas site is running 2.6.4-1814 and the guest menus work! Am I doing something wrong or was this a problem in the past?
Thanks!
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help
Guest List Menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help |

Ok, well, I built version 2.6.4-1795 and I have the same issue -- Guest menus do not show up when added to my configuration.
Suggestions on where to look? Start from scratch?

I can't remember any problem of that type.

Might not be a bad idea. Use the little config file from the distribution, then just add the guest menu lines, and try it. If it works, modify it gradually until it equals to your full config file, to see where the problem is. Stupid quiestion: After you added your guest menu, did you log out to become a "guest"? If you are logged in with your user name (stored in a cookie), you never will see the guest menu. |

To answer your last question - yes, i logged out and the menu line never changed. I even put it into debug mode but the output reflects exactly what I see -- a non-changing menu line. I'll start with the simple config and see what happens.
BTW, WebSVN no longer provides a means of downloading a tar of your code trunk. I had to go to http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/tar/ in order to get your 2.6.4-1 revision.

Ok, here is what I found. Apparently in the past there was a "Find Menu Commands = " option? Because I had this in my config and elog was not barfing on it being there. So, I changed the word "Find" with "List" and things seems to now work. Stefan, was there an old command called "Find Menu Commands"?

That should be fixed now.

Yes. Indeed this was changes some time ago. Have a look at elog:880. Unfortunately I did not announce this change clearly. |

Ok, I am fixed now (took me awhile to respond - sorry).
Thanks Stefan!

New ELOG version with XML and CSV import/export, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Mar 26 09:41:56 2004
|
Version 2.5.2 of ELOG has been released today. It contains CSV (comma
separated values) import and export, as well as XML export (through the
"Find" page). Since these features are new, I would appreciate some feedback
on how this works in different environments. I made sure I can import data
from Excel and Outlook (like my address book), but I have no experience with
other applications.
As with the XML export, I'm not sure if the format I chose is a good one.
People working more with XML should tell me if it should be changed. |
