We have quite a number of logbooks and when someone requests a login account AND elects to register with all of the logbooks, the resulting URL is apparently too long for browsers to handle when the admins click on the link embedded in the email notification. For example, FireFox (latest ver) appears to truncate the URL *after* submission (the correct URL is there before submission).
My question: Is it possible to limit - or remove - the checkboxes that the user can select during registration? I realize that this is a browser issue but I doubt I can persuade those guys to fix FireFox.
Thanks. |
I changed the current SVN version (#1909) to show only the list of logbooks if there are ten or less logbooks, in order not to make the URL too long. On the activation by the administrator, the list of subscribed logbooks appears as previously, but all are unchecked. So it's the task of the administrator to enable subscriptions or not. |

I can see a customer becoming confused if they did not see their logbook listed. Just turn off the selection completely. Otherwise, this will work but I fear will generate more questions as in "Why isn't logbook <blah> listed?"
Thanks!

I agree, that's inconsistent. So I removed the logbook list completely (SVN revision 1914) and added a note on the user notification that they should click 'config' to subscribe to any logbook. |

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Info | All | 2.7.0 | New ELOG version with HTML Editor |
I'm pleased to announce the release of ELOG version 2.7.0 which contains the HTML editor FCKeditor. This allows the formatting of ELOG entries just as one is used from a word processor. I tried to make all functionality working as one is used from the ELCode system (like replies quote the original text in a yellow text box), but I'm not sure if I covered everything. So if you experience problems with the new editor, please report it and I will try to fix it. Anyhow it is always possible to switch back to the old ELCode encoding.
One warning for site administrators: Since it is possible to enter HTML code directly into a web page, one risks a XSS vulnerability. If someone knows how to protect the FCKeditor against submission of JavaScript, please let me know and I will add it. If this is an issue, you can turn off HTML encoding completely for public ELOG sites with allowed encoding = 3 in elogd.cfg.
Finally I would like to give credits to An Thai who proposed this editor.

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Info | All | 2.7.1 | Update of FCKeditor inside ELOG requires browser cache cleaning |
Between the ELOG versions 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 the internal HTML editor FCKedit has been upgraded from version 2.4.3 to 2.5beta. The new version has a few more options and supports more browsers. People however reported some errors popping up like Unknown toolbar item "ELOGSubmit". This happens because some browsers cache the JavaScript from the old version of the editor in their cache. To fix this problem, simple clear the browser's cache. In Firefox, do a Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Cache -> Clear now. Other browsers have similar ways to clear the cache. |

Have a look at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html, under the section "Adding stuff to a logbook". Basically you can write elog:<id>. At the moment, this works however only in the "plain" or "ELCode" encoding. For HTML encoding, I will add this functionality soon.
