icon5.gif   drag and drop attachments not working with web server authentication, posted by Devin Bougie on Tue Jan 12 17:38:52 2016 
Hello,

The "Drop attachments here..." section does not work when using Webserver authentication.  Both elog 3.1.1 (the binary RPM) and apache are running
on EL6.6 and are configured according to the docs.  Authentication works fine and the normal "Choose File - Upload" attachment table works fine.  However,
when dragging an attachment to the "Drop attachments here..." section the dashes on the border turn green but when dropping the attachment nothing happens.

Thanks, Stefan.  I read that before asking my question, but didn't see a resolution in that thread.  I am already at 3.1.1, and I am testing
on a clean installation.  Are you saying that the solution is in the development branch after the release of 3.1.1?

No. What the thread says is first try this forum, see if you can drag and drop here. If not, you have a problem on your browser. If yes, you have somewhere
some old JavaScript file around. Might be in the cache of your browser.

Yeah, I had tried that and it did work in your demo forum.  It just didn't work in mine with authentication = webserver, even with a clean
browser profile.

I'm finally able to reproduce this, and my initial description was incorrect.  If we have "restrict edit = 1", only an "Admin
user" can use the "Dop attachments here..." or the "Image" button in the CKEditor.  The old "Choose File,"
"Upload" buttons, however, works just fine for anyone.
icon5.gif   entry does not appear in list while it is being edited, posted by Devin Bougie on Wed Jan 20 20:38:17 2016 
When an entry is being edited, it does not appear in the list once it's been autosaved or the editor manually clicks on "Save."  This
has been reproduced in the "Linux Demo" forum on this site, as well as on a clean installation of the 3.1.1 binary on EL6.

It would be great if there was a configuraiton option to control this, but I haven't found it yet.  To reproduce:

Hi Devin,

this is the intended bevaviour, there is nothing wrong with that.

Only a submitted entry should be visible to
the world.

If you would have played a little bit longer, you would have found out yourself how you'll get access again to this so-called
"draft" entry after closing the browser window:

as soon as you attempt to create - as the same user - an new entry, you'll
