Well, I have the browser's back button on one of my mouse buttons, so "- return to 3d list" is one
mouse click. My policy is: If I can save someone two or more mouse clicks for am operation, I will
implement it. If it's less, it's not worth investing some hours of programming just to save 0.5s
each tim (;-).

Ok ok, I'll put it on the wish list. Just in case I'm running out of work. :-)

Hi Stefan,

I have found a little problem with elog. I'am using ELOG V2.5.8-6. When I'am on the logon page,
I type my Login and password and hit "submit", in the bottom of IE, we can show my password without encryption, it can be dangerous. I have made a screenshot to explain my problem better.
Could you fix it for the next release ?
Thanks a lot.
Alex


Unfortunately there is no real way around that. If a password is entered into a text box, it is always transferred in plain text (which means that in security-sensive installations one should always use SSL together with elog). I encrypt it on the server side and do an immediate redirect which "hided" the plain password, but if your connection is slow, you might see it for a moment. Unless nobody has a clever idea of how to prevent this, we're out of luck.


Oki Thanks for the answer Smile.

disabling pipelining makes all works fine again


As is said:

Pipelining is an experimental feature, designed to improve page-load performance, that is unfortunately not well supported by some web servers and proxies.

So what do you expect Tongue

I have not checked in detail, but it seems that the browser fires off several requests in parallel, one for each image. This can only be handled by a multi-threaded server, which elog is not (yet). What is more an issue for elog in relation to multi-threading is that one long request blocks all other users. So if I do a synchronize for example from home, the server can be nonresponsive for a minute or two. I have some plans for making it multi-threaded, but as you can imagine this is not so simple to do in a portable way.


You are right .. I'll wait the m-t support then Smile ghghgh

I find some new strings from the warnings like this:

Quote:
Language error: string "HelpELCode" not found for language "chinese"


I have added these new string to the languages files in Chinese. I think:
"Enter name of hypelink" should be "Enter name of hyperlink".

Thanks in advance


I think "date format" and "time format" are different tags.
you may try to use date format here.

Hi
I’m running SLES Linux Box with Elog 2.7.4, until yesterday everything was running perfectly. Now elog is not running anymore, because the elogd.cfg where i made changes for my use is lost.....(arghhhhh......) The logbooks ar still under /usr/local/elog/logbooks aviable.
Now i would like to upgrade to the latest version of elog. How to i made my logbooks available ?
thanks for your feedback.

It is very good to have Kerberos authentication available. It is just the error message which is a bit cryptic.

If you enter your Kerberos password once, and later fail to authenticate with a wrong password, you get:

Kerberos error:
Decrypt integrity check failed.
Please check your Kerberos configuration

 

That is not really urgent!

Very good ideas! Go ahead and implement them! We very much appreciate your contribution.
