The reason for the "...1753 more lines..." is the following: Sometimes people upload
really huge files (10 MB or so). If they are displayed as ASCII attachments, each time
you access the entry you have to DOWNLOAD 10 MB. Sometimes even the browser crashes.
That's why I limited the display of the ASCII attachments to the first 1000 lines. To
see the complete file, just lick on the attachment name.

Concerning the inline display of HTML documents, I'm currently thinking of checking if
there is an <HTML> or <BODY> statement inside the file. If not, it might be just some
HTML fraction in which case it could be shown. If yes, it cannot be shown inline, but
if you click on it's name a new browser windows is opened containing the full document.
Does that sound reasonable to you?

Ok, I turned display of HTML attachments completely off in 2.5.8-3. So if one wants to see
it, on has to click on it. Otherwise there is no way to ensure a correct web page, so
people would complain again that the page does not pass the HTML validator if someone
attached an invalid HTML file.

I think this is reasonable. All the HTML-files which I want insert (created with the software
INCA) are not shown correctly. My testfiles made with OpenOffice are shown correctly. Maybe
you have the time to program an option for the attachement "Show inside/Show in new window or
tab", so that the user can choose, how his HTML file is shown. Similiar to the option "Submit
as HTML text".

I changed it such that all attachment are shown in a separate browser window if clicked. Hope
this satisfies most people. I believe an extra switch in the config file is too much for this
little thing, unless someone absolutely wants back the old behaviour.

Sombody used an invalid formed email address, like user<at>domain<dot>com, on which the SMTP server complained. I would like to note here that the email addresses registered in this forum are not published in any way, so there is no risk to get spam from that (except the normal elog notifications, which can be turned off easily).

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

  1158   Tue May 24 20:32:08 2005 Entry Andynekto@myway.com   Problem with auto-increment attribute
I have a very strange problem with auto-increment attribute. Here is a part of my configuration:

Attributes = Access ID, Harvest Date, Access, Species, PI, Submission date, Stain, Comments
Preset Access ID = MI-05-%03d
Type Harvest date = date
Type Submission date = date

I tried to add new entry, and it's Access ID is MI-05-001. But when I'm adding another entries,
there Access ID is MI-05-006
I found only one mention of using increment in documentation.
What I'm doing wrong?
