running ethereal I found a bug, hope this is the problem hanging my firefox (I think
we have a good chance it is :-P)

when I have thuimbs enabled, elog returns for the ".thumb" (or ".whatever".. thumb's
extension should be transparent to elog .. uhm... it can't be .. this is a problem)

anyway, having attached a pdf (a big one) and aving attachment display enabled (with
my thumbnails generated by my script)  elog returns for the displayed thumb a
Content-Type for application/x-pdf, instead of the correct image/jpeg. I think this is
the problem.

The only way for elog to know what is the correc\t content type for thumbnails is to
get it from a configuration parameter, becouse it is a chioce of the external script
used to generate them to choose the type of thumbs (jpeg, png, gif ... )
One conf parameter defaulting to jpeg may be the solution

Many many Thanks for all Stefan ! :o)

LOL ..this way I can't see the list of other threads .. so il my goal is to inspect the thread
looking for something I have to:
- open the 3d
- return to 3d list
- open another 3d ..
[loop]

my wish would be to reduce it to
- open the 3d
- open another 3d ..
[loop]

of course I'm thinking to a big number of entries in a short number of 3ds .. making ugly to
simply expand everything .. :-)

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.

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".

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