Not sure if this is a bug or not; if it is not, kindly reclassify the category.
Following is a small example of what I will dub a 3-level, conditional logbook:
[cond_test]
attributes = region, manufacturer, model
show attributes edit = region
options region = american{1}, japanese{2}, european{3}
{1} options manufacturer = ford, chrysler, gm
{2} options manufacturer = toyota{4}, nissan{5}, mitsubishi{6}
{3} options manufacturer = audi, mercedes, bmw, volvo, fiat
{1,2,3} show attributes edit = region, manufacturer
{4} options model = corolla, prius, miata
{5} options model = sentra, murano
{6} options model = starion, outlander, mirage
{4,5,6} show attributes edit = region, manufacturer, model
This example is hardly complete, but it is sufficient to demonstrate the issue I am running into. This works until I select from the 2nd level (manufacturer); it won't display the dropdown for the model (I think my show attribute edit is supposed to display that). Is there a restriction on how many levels of conditional I can have? If there is, it would be disappointing because I am trying to do something similar to this example.
I hope there is something very simple I can do to correct this, or perhaps a completely different approach that accomplishes the same thing. I'd like to stick with the multi-level selection process as I have done here.
I am running elog 3.1.5 on Devuan Chimaera (approx. Debian Bullseye, sans systemd) in a Virtualbox VM. |
If
- Elog is configured to use webserver authentication, and
- the user reported by the webserver does not exist in the password file, and
- the "Guest Menu commands" configuration is set in "elogd.cfg", and
- a logbook is accessed,
then Elog returns with a redirect (302) to the logbook itself, causing the loop.
The fix here is to remove the "Guest Menu commands" configuration from "elogd.cfg".
