Having made one entry in the thread about message ID, I could neither edit the entry or add an additional reply
without getting "Proxy Error" messages.  I've had this trouble on this forum before, a long time ago.  Perhaps
it is connected with the html coding?

It would be nice if elog would only interpret something as a smiley if it is surrounded by whitespace.

[That was "18" inside the parens.] ...


Interpreting smileys only if they are surrounded by whitespace does not solve the problem completely. It will solve it for (1\8), but not if you have (1, \8) (1, 9) in your text. So it's not a good solution. If you have problems with simleys, I would post my text in plain mode, or surround your numbers with [code]...[/code] tags...


Hmm, you're right. But I like EL Code, and I don't want to give it up just because of the smileys! A better solution would be to provide an option, which when set, would require smileys to be in brackets, e.g., [\8)] would become the cool smiley [8)], rendered without surrounding brackets if the option was set.

I actually just spent some time I didn't really have and modified my copy of elogd to see if it could be done and would work as intended. Eureka, it works! The modification implements an option "use bracketed smileys" which, if set to 1, causes the editor smiley bar to insert smileys with the square brackets around them and causes rsputs_elcode() to only substitute for smileys if there are square brackets around them, suppressing the square brackets.

I like this feature. Maybe others would like it too. I have a patch file (diff -cbw) w.r.t. svn version 1663 if you're interested.
  67289   Wed Jun 20 14:02:45 2012 Question Ocanereuldky@yahoo.comQuestionLinux2.9.1-2435Protect Selection page=1

 Hi,

I have several top groups and each has several logbooks.

If I use the global option Protect Selection page=1 and Show top groups = 1, after an user logs in to the top group selection URL, the elog steers away from the top group selection page, and automatically brings him to the logbook selection page of the first top group. Is the elog programmed to exhibit this behavior?

What I would prefer is that, after an user logs in, the elog stays on the top group selection page, sine each user has his preferred destination, not always the logbooks in the first top group. Is there any setting I can use in the config file to do this? 

(My users need to access different top groups and logbooks on regular basis).

Thank you and regards.

 Hi, I have a question regarding the Protect Selection option. I have the option enabled and I have to login to get into the logbook. What I would like to accomplish is that the page does not display anything (none of the posts) when it is opened. The only option should be to login.

Is this possible?

 

Regards,

 

John

  66575   Wed Nov 4 00:58:00 2009 Idea Richard Stamperr.stamper@rl.ac.ukInfoWindows2.7.7Problems zooming elog pages in Internet Explorer - a possible fix

Internet Explorer fails to display correctly some aspects of pages generated by elog when the zoom functionality is used (Ctrl + and Ctrl -).  This is really a bug in the IE renderer rather than elog, but since IE can be persuaded to do better relatively easily it might be worth making some minor changes to make elog more robust when used with the buggy Microsoft browser.

The problem I encountered was initially with the multiple checkboxes for an Moptions attribute, but I noticed later it also affects the logbook tabs at the top of the screen.  If you start creating a submission to this forum in IE (7 or earlier, at least) you can see the problem; when zooming, the text labels and  the checkboxes do not scale together so start overlapping, and the same happens with the logbook tabs and the text links on them.  The problem is apparently to do with a proprietary IE concept called "layout" - see http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html for details - and IE struggles when some elements do not have the hasLayout property set to "true".

The fix is to coerce elements to have the hasLayout element set to "true" by giving them some benign CSS property.  The best I can find is to set "display: inline-block" for some of the key elements, and this can be done by modifying default.css rather than the elogd.c code.

Adding

span {
  display: inline-block;
}

to default.css (e.g. just after the default style definition for the "td" element) and adding

  display: inline-block;

to the style sets for the .sltab and .ltab classes (generic, not those specific to the "a" element) seems to prevent IE doing bad things with the display when zooming without messing up the display in Firefox.  I have not tested this comprehensively or in any other browsers, but I thought it might be worth passing on.

Cheers,

Richard Stamper

  68666   Mon Aug 21 11:22:09 2017 Question Andreas Luedekeandreas.luedeke@psi.chBug reportLinux3.1.3-aded4aeProblems with german_UTF8 language

Hi Stefan,

since recently (a few weeks) ELOG confuses the language translations.
Individual language strings are translated into garbage; most other strings are fine.
Currently I see the string "please select" translated into "ressed" (see attached picture), instead of what's written correctly in the language file "bitte auswählen".
But with every restart the corrupted strings vary: other strings are affected and other garbage strings are shown - some of them unreadable binary code (see Attachment 2).
I have the same version running in English: I see no problems there.
Kind regards

Andreas
