Well, that teaches you not to do this error again Wink

the scenario is:
- elog on localhost
- stunnel on the external interface

I dont want elog to listen on external interface, so.. why do not use the URL cfg attribute for this issue ?


You can specify the interface to liste on with the
"-n <interface>"
parameter of elogd.

It is not able to argue that short and long name are the same person..

Yes I know, you'll ask me why I should change it .. the anwer is.. I don't have to, but (as I could do it logically) I'd like to be able to do..

a problem related to this issue is that an attribute of userlist type automatically sets the user to be in the long form..

My proposal is to alwais store users in the long form and anly give the possibility to use the short or long form in displaing time..

Using the [code] elocode should be intended also to preserve the tagged text from beeing parsed as html or elcode itself ..

this is an example:

Quote:
Note that, for security reasons, you should check the MD5 FINGERPRINT of the SSL certificate issued by the server agaist the following one:

MD5 Fingerprint = 23:A7:AD:33:3C:08:BE:2A:62:6E:85:DF:B8:00:23:40


Thank you

a multiple selection box it's a standard web tool .. if one is not able to use its browser is not an elog problem IMHO


Really? Can you point me to a common web site using this? I would really like to see how other people use this.


I can't remember just now a web site using it .. what I mean is that "multiple" attribute for the "select" tag is a standard for the web (it's not an IE extension or so on ..) so every web browser implements it.

It's normally used, for example, when you fill a form describing your attitudes, here you can often choose from a select box a number of interest you are concerded.. but it is only an example

My request is becouse having a number of user (say 20) makes the checkbox solution very very nasty .. again, it's a choice you give to the smart user .. others simply will not notice any change in elog Wink


Ok, I put it on my wishlist. If more than one person asks for this, I will implement it. Unfortunately it's not only putting a multiple into the HTML page, it's also a different way how multiple selections are passed in the POST form and their decoding, so it will be an hour or two of work for me.

Yes I know, uhm... if you point me to the right piece of code to be adjusted I can see if I'll be able to do the job Smile

Hello All. Stefan, would it be possible to add one more option to the Suppress Default flag? I'd appreciate a setting that would suppress emails being sent and remove the option from the page. Or, has this been accomplished? And, if so, what is that setting. Thanks in advance!! Keep up the great work.


I added
Suppress default = 3

which always suppresses email notifications. The addition is under CVS and will be included in the next release.

Hello Stefan. I used this setting with the beta2 version and it works great. THANX!!! Many kudos to you for an elegant solution to the logging 'problem'.
