Thanks a lot. I applied your patch and committed the changes to CVS.
icon4.gif   Space in logbook name with password list results in "List" menu acting strange, posted by Neil Swartz on Tue Feb 22 01:24:41 2005 
If you have a space in a logbook name and you enable password list, then 
the "List" menu option forces you to the login page each time.
The URL says "aaa+bbb", but when you do not have passwords enabled, the 
URL is "aaa bbb"

Thanks for reporting this. I fixed it in the current CVS version.

If I want to go to the latest CVS release, what files do I have to compile
along with the elogd.c file?  Also, do I need to use any special gcc flags
for the compilation?  Thanks.

You need elogd.c, mxml.c and regex.c, the Makefile you can get from CVS as well

Worked like a charm.  Thanks again.
icon4.gif   Can't use the command-line client, posted by Pieter Edelman on Wed Mar 16 20:04:32 2005 

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the command-line client from linux, but I can't make it work and that's driving me nuts...

What I want is to reply to a selected message in the logbook, but I stumble onto two problems:

  1. There is a read password ("Read Password=..." entry in elogd.cfg)on the logbook which I cannot bypass from the client. Specifying the switch -u "" password on the command line has no effect, and neither does -w password. The error message I get is included at the bottom of this message. If I disable the read password, I get past the authentication.
  2. There is a required attribute called "Publiek", and it's defined as MOptions. Whenever I try to upload, I keep getting the message that it misses this attribute. I tried the switch -a Publiek=Anders, -a "Publiek=Anders", -a Publiek_0=Anders, -a "Publiek_0=Anders" -a "Publiek_1=Onbekend, -a Publiek=1 on the beginning, end, and middle of the command, but the results are the same. Both "Anders" and "Onbekend" are in the MOptions list (including capitals).

For completeness, here's (one variety) of my command line:

elog -a "Publiek=1" -h localhost -p 8181 -l Artikelen -v -r 80

The obvious question is if anybody knows what I'm doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Pieter

This is correct. The elog utility works with write passwords and user level access
(specifying a password file), but not with read passwords, that's not implemented. Use a
password file and you should be fine.

Your problem is that you try to combine a MOptions with a "-r <n>" (reply-to) option. I
have never tried that and found there is a problem. I changed the way MOptions are
submitted. Instead of using <name>_0, <name>_1 etc, you can now do a 

-a "<attrib>=<value1> | <value2>"

This also solves the problem with the "-r" option. You have to upgrade elogd.c from CVS.
