Hello all,

I use ELOG for about 30 users, and I've listed their email adresses in the "login user" parameter, using the LDAP authentication.
As I had problems with the users from the end of the list (they couldn't log in the logbooks) I guessed that there is a max length for the string "login user" (or other parameter?). it seems to be a 1000 character limit.
How can I parameter this limit to another value? Is this value used for other parameters?

Thanks for your answer.

The attached screenshot shows the behaviour after doing a synchronization (with Mirror simulate = 1) following first having ensured that the local (Mac) and remote (linux) ELOGs initially showed "All entries identical" when doing a simulated synchronization, and then having edited local entries 9707 and 9709 by uploading (different) attachments to them.

The fact that the synchronization is suggesting to renumber two different entry IDs to the same number looks like a bug.

Best regards,

Andreas W.

We're running Elog 3.1.2 om SL 7.2 and keep getting random crashes, sometimes when no one is accessing a logbook. The following is from /var/log/messages with debugging turned on after the latest crash.

Hello,

I wonder if it's normal that in the sources files, new created mxml directory is empty.

In commit # a6e5962 4 files are deleted but not moved:

- src/mxml.c
- src/mxml.h
- src/strlcpy.c
- src/strlcpy.h 

Thank you

Hi !

I do have an setup were I would like to rename the menu command but keeping their fonction. Namely, I would like to rename the "copy to" button to "Duplicate" since thats the option I would like to put in place ( Copy to = Same logbook only).

I tried to do so with css but it is not possible since the button doesn't have a specific id... Would you have another solution ? 

Thanks for your help !

When there are attachments in an entry, logbook is adding additional "MIME-Version" header to e-mail messages.

Spam filter in our university system is mostly giving warnings:

• X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER SECTION, Duplicate header field: "MIME-Version"

But sometimes it is not redirecting further the message.

• Remote Server returned '< #5.6.0 smtp; 554 5.6.0 Bounce, id=27666-07 - BAD HEADER>'

In code I noticed there is always "MIME-Version" header added to the message and additionaly it is added again when a file is attached. I think it is not neccessary to add again this header.

Hi,
  I have an elog server which uses apache/ldap for authentication.
I would like to have the username used for ldap to be set automatically as author field in the elog.

I'm using: 
Authentication = Webserver
and I do set the env-variable X-Forwarded-User correctly to the ldap username

GET /test/?cmd=New HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Authorization: Basic bGFjYXByYXI6TWEwMiSyYnVt
...
Cookie: elmode=Summary; sid=D7DE678B7CAA1D10; ufnm=lacaprar; urem=0
...
X-Forwarded-User: lacaprar

How can I preset author to X-Forwarded-User?
Preset Author = $??
I've tried $short_name/$long_name but I got Anonymous.
I understand that it is so because these are meant to be filled when password authentication is used: any way to use some other variable with the Webserver auth?

thanks in advance,
  Stefano

Can you please make a change to have the Quick Filter ComboBox controls reference the field type for ordering purposes?

For example, if attribute Lot Number is Type Numeric then the ComboBox should be listed in numerical order instead of alphanumeric (eg: 1,2,3,11,21 vs 1,11,2,21,3).

Best Regards.
