Another idea, if you have root access to the elog server, you can temporarily make the elog config file unwritable to the elog user, nobody will be
able to change it from the web interface. (and as root, you can edit it using emacs). But in general case, yes, it is better to setup a separate
elog instance for what you do. Still, make the config elog unwritable by the elog user, so it cannot be hacked too easily. K.O. |
"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. |

Thanks Stefan!
