icon4.gif   Too many logbooks during user registration, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Aug 6 17:43:52 2007 
Stefan, we require registration with elog. We have quite a number of logbooks and when someone requests a login account AND elects to register with all of the logbooks, the resulting URL is apparently too long for browsers to handle when the admins click on the link embedded in the email notification. For example, FireFox (latest ver) appears to truncate the URL *after* submission (the correct URL is there before submission).

My question: Is it possible to limit - or remove - the checkboxes that the user can select during registration? I realize that this is a browser issue but I doubt I can persuade those guys to fix FireFox.

Thanks.

I changed the current SVN version (#1909) to show only the list of logbooks if there are ten or less logbooks, in order not to make the URL too long. On the activation by the administrator, the list of subscribed logbooks appears as previously, but all are unchecked. So it's the task of the administrator to enable subscriptions or not.



Quote:
So the list is shown to the one requesting the registration? Would it be possible to have an option that, when selected, simply did not list any logbooks? I can see a customer becoming confused if they did not see their logbook listed. Just turn off the selection completely. Otherwise, this will work but I fear will generate more questions as in "Why isn't logbook <blah> listed?"

Thanks!

Stefan,

Thank you that is exactly what I needed to know.

Deleting a logbook in the config page (via "Delete this logbook") only removes the logbook defiition from the config file. To really erase all information you have to go to the file system and delete the whole directory belonging to that logbook. You have one subdirectory per year, containing all logobok entries and also attachments, so make sure you do a recursiver directory removal.

icon5.gif   How to do a preset on MOptions attributes ?, posted by Stephane LE on Fri Nov 24 11:01:22 2006 
Hi,

I'm new to elog and I was wondering if it is possible to do some presets on MOptions attributes when displaying a new form ? I've read the elogd config page but couldn't find how to do it.

Thanks for your help,

stephane

Hello,

In elog version 2.7.1.2004, when I want to upload an image, after browsing I obtain a error message like < Upload command not unauthorized>. That is strange is the file is right uploaded in the logbook directory but not appear in the entry.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for reporting this problem. I found that it was related with switching ELOG to French (in the English version it always worked). I fixed this in revision #2006 and re-made the 2.7.1 distribution with the bug fix.

Hello,

I made the test and it's really switching english to french. Another problem I observe by switching in french is when I want to create / edit an entry in html, the tool bar is hide ! Does the #2006 will corret this too ?

Regards

Stéphane
