  1334   Tue Jul 26 17:57:36 2005 Question Chris Greengreenc@fnal.govRequestLinux2.6.0bRestrict Top Groups to logged-in users?
Hi,

I'd like to be able to prevent non-logged-in users from seeing what logbooks exist in a top group. Currently it seems that one is only required to log in once one has chosen a logbook. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Chris.

To protect the logbook selection page, you put the "password file = <file>" into the [global] section or the [global <top group>] section. So "hide" the top group selection page, you put a "show top groups = 0" into the [global] section.


I already had the "password file = <file>" in the [global <top group>] section but I was still able to see the logbooks in that section. Neither moving the password line to [global] nor setting Show Top Groups = 0 helped. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Chris.

So if you have time and fun doing it, you could restructure the documentation page into some separate pages, to give people a better overview. Please send the modified pages back to me and I will include them on the web site.

I'll try to put this together in the next week or two. Thanks for all your help,
Chris.

If you move the "password file = <file>" entry around, you can get fooled by stored cookies. So after each modification, make sure to delete all cookies in your browser.


This didn't work, but after corresponding with Stefan privately, the following did:

[global]
Show Top Groups = 1

[global top_group]
Protect selection page = 1
Password file = papers.pwd

Thanks again, Stefan.

  1350   Wed Jul 27 17:30:38 2005 Question Chris Greengreenc@fnal.govQuestionLinux2.6.0b3Email subject garbaged when set?
Hi,

So I'm using the CVS version now since I was hoping this would be fixed. If I set the email subject explicitly, viz:

Use Email Subject = [BooNE-ELOG] New submission to $logbook from $Author

The email I get has:

Subject:
=?ISO-8859-1?B?W0Jvb05FLUVMT0ddIE5ldyBzdWJtaXNzaW9uIHRvIENoYXJnZWQgQ3Vyc
mVudCBQaSBQbHVzIGZyb20gQ2hyaXMgR3JlZW4=?=

... which isn't particularly illuminating.

Advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris.

Hi,

Our elog is going to be taking some large attachments. I've disabled the attachments from going out in the email, but I'd like email recipients to know that the post has attachments associated with it. Is there a mechanism to do this already, or would it be an enhancement? I'm looking for something like:

Email Notify Attachments = 0 | 1 | 2

Where 0 = no notification,
1 = number only,
2 = list

... independent of whether attachments are included with the email itself.

Thanks,
Chris.

This is the BASE64 encoding of the subject. It was discussed here and I implemented it according to RFC2047. All subjects I receive look fine in Outlook and Thunderbird, but not under Pine, which apparently does not implement the RFC correctly. One could of course put a switch into elog to encode it or not. But as soon as you want to send some non-ASCII characters (like the Norwegian as described in the thread mentioned above) you have a problem. Maybe you can configure your email client correctly to interprete the encoded subject?


Apparently the pine people think they're implementing it correctly. Indeed the default subject, "[ISO-8859-1] New ELOG entry" appears just fine. The one for membership confirmation, and anything set in Use Email Subject, however, is borked as above. Maybe the pine bug is something that can be worked around with something simple (like spaces after the ISO spec, or something? Some things work just fine, as I said.

Thanks,
Chris.

I added Email Format = 64 for only attachment names. So you could set Email Format = 111 to get everything except the full attachments.


Thanks for this. Will verify as soon as someone posts to the (now live) logbook.
