Re: Menu text ignored??

Emiliano Gabrielli wrote:

uh oh ... just maked some tests before posting ... "Find Menu text" does my job !!!?!?!!!! why "Find" in the name? it is displayed in the list view, not Find ... Am I completely out?

Well, the normal list view was not there from the beginning. Originally you always saw the last entry, and had to click on "Find", do a search and then see the listing. Only later this became the default view. So "Find Menu text" was there from the beginning, and some people used it. If I change it now to "List Menu text", guess how many people would complain that their config file doen not work anymore.

Well, maybe I should allow both options "Find menu text" and "List menu text", change it in the documentation, and in a year from now remove the "Find menu text".

Re: Unable to send mails through elog

Kumar wrote:

Hi All

I need to send mail through Elog. With Version 2.5.7 it seems to work only when less content is in the elog entry. But when I fill in a lot of content into one entry, it confirms the mail is sent but I dont receive the mail.

I thought it was a bug in 2.5.7, so I installed the new version 2.6-beta. With this version I am not even able to send any mail eventhough elog confirms it has been sent. Same is it case for 2.5.9.

Please let me know if there is a fix..

Thanks
Raj

This must have to do with your specific SMTP server. What you can do is to start elogd with the verbose flag like

elogd -v

then send an email entry and watch the communication between elogd and the SMTP server. There must be some kind of error message.

Re: prevent CVS and XML exports

Hello All and Happy Father's Day,

How do I prevent Anonymous Users from exporting the Data when using the search funtion?

Thank You

Paul

By not allowing anonymous access at all. The CVS and XML exports do not contain more information than anonymous users can see on the web page, so there is no reason to prevent it. Anybody could view all pages anonymously (if guest access is allowed) and reconstruct the CVS data easily.

I'm being asked to do the impossible to list the Assessing Dept Data but not letting people download the whole database. This way they can lookup the info the Town uses to assess their property. The Town’s Selectmen have stopped paying for the company who hosted the database and the software they used. Now I'm asked to do the same service in house with out funds and without resorces. Hence the question.

Re: elog crashes when admin tries to register new users

Heiko Scheit wrote:

Not really, unless you have a fixed 2.5.9 version. Version 2.6 has
way too many new features, which I don't want at the moment. Or is
there a config option to get the old behavior?

Maybe you should consider supporting two branches, say 'stable' (2.5.9
currently) and 'experimental' (2.6 currently)? For 'stable' only
severe bugs and security issues are fixed and in 'experimental' new
features are introduced. What do you say?

I think elog is such a small project that supporting several branches makes no sense. You can do this if you have several developers, one taking care of each branch. But as you know I'm alone. But what I can do is the following:

Have a default switch for the Encoding. So if "default encoding = plain", the "plain" radio button is on by default, so people tend to write plain text rather than ELCoded text.
Have either a switch for the email notification, to revert back to the old text format, or have a multipart email message. I saw that outlook sometime does that. One email can contain a "plain" part and an "HTML" part. So you can select in your email reader which one to display. At least thunderbird supports that. But I don't know what your bash scripts say to that, please let me know.

Heiko Scheit wrote:

For me the risk of upgrading to 2.6 now seems to high, as many people
depend on the logbook.

Well, that's why it's called "beta". I first want to make sure that the transition to the new version goes smooth, and nobody's installation gets problems. So the old logbooks should be still readable without any modification, and once I implemented the "dual plain/html" email notification, you should be fine to upgrade. Is that correct?

email flagged as spam

Maybe you can see what the problem is.

Apparently the problem is in the HMTL contents of the email message. I use SpamAssassin 3.0.2 and do not get more than three points, that's why I haven't seen that problem before. It looks to me like reverting back to plain text will remove most of the hits, although not all. What happens if you write an HTML email to yourself, is this then flagged as spam, too? The TO_MALFORMED I have no chance, since I send each notification just once, it contains now ~300 email destination addresses. Since I don't want that everyone sees these addresses, I put a dummy "To:" there ("Omit Email to = 1"), but this is then of course a fake "To:" and triggers the spam filter.

But this is only part of the story. The logbook on the labtop is owned by the
default user elog and default group elog, that is needed to start up the elogd. Only a user "elog" can do the cloning, unless temporarily the owner ship in /usr/local/elog is changed. I made it work by temporarily changing the owner ship on both machines, did the cloning, changed back to owner elog, started elogd and all was running.

The /usr/local/elog files should be owned by user elog on both machines, and both elogd daemons should be started under user elog. Since only the two elogd daemons communicate with each other during synchronization, that should be fine. Only after the initial cloning (which you presumably do under your own user account), you have to do a "chmod" to change ownership of all files to uid/gid "elog/elog".

Gerfried Kumbartzki wrote:

I setup synchronizing and here too it works only if the read passwd in elogd.cfg is commented out.

As I said, the read password is not really supported for synchronization. It is there historically, from the times when there was no user level password access. If you use synchronization, you should use that authentication (by putting a "password file = ..." into your config.

Gerfried Kumbartzki wrote:

Here I have another question: My Elog is passwd protected, encrypted passwd in elogd.cfg (read and write). When connecting to the elog the window pops up asking for a user name and the passwd. I donot remember exactly, what was done to set name and passwd. But I find it "strange" that the user name can be anything as long as the passwd is right to access the ELog. I think I have to learn more about the whole user and passwd protection schema.

If you switch to user level password access, this problem goes away as well.

Re: [BUG] quick filter

Emiliano Gabrielli wrote:

it seems that the select box of quick filters are showing also the "{n}" appended to the Attributes in order to obtain conditional Attributes ...

see the snapshot attached

Fixed in current CVS.

BTW, I would display the date selection calender in a new floating window, not to take away all the precious screen space at the top. Then I would use the same calendar as for the date attributes, not to confuse users with two different styles.
