  1362   Mon Aug 1 11:58:43 2005 Question Kees Bolkees.bol@wur.nlInfoLinux2.6.0"full" only changes color
Hi,
I have the strange problem that when changing to "full"-diplaymode the output looks the same as with "summary", only the color is different. The texts don't appear.
Any idea what can cause this behaviour?

thanks
Kees Bol

Can you send me your elogd.cfg ?

Have you made sure that the entries do contain some text? The behaviour you describe usually happens if you have entries without any text.


Well, I guess that causes it. In the summary-view there is no visible text.
I thougt when choosing the full-view the text would appear along with the other attributes.

My config-file is:
================================================================
Theme = default

Attributes = Author, Type, Subject
Required Attributes = Type, Subject
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

Options Type = Question, Configuration, Problem, Info, Other

List Display = ID, Date, Author, Type, Subject
Thread display = $Subject, posted by $Author on $Date

That's how it is supposed to be. I tried your config file, added three entries, and got the behaviour documented in the attached images. To me everything looks fine.


Stefan, the output you see I expected to see with my logbook too but I don't.
I will upgrade to V2.6.0-beta3, perhaps that solves the problem.

Stefan, I installed V2.6.0-beta3 and there is a (unwanted) difference. The Text field now appears in the summary-view despite the config specifies:

List Display = ID, Logdate, Author, Book, Chapter, Type, Subject

so in my opinion the text-field should not show up here.

Now the full-view indeed shows the complete texts.

I also attached the complete config-file because perhaps I overlook some details.


Another point: there was some discussion about v2.6.0-beta3 being slow.
I have v2.6.0-beta and v2.6.0-beta3 running side by side on the same server and notice also a big difference in speed, beta3 being much slower.

If you do not want text display in the summary view, add

Summary lines = 0

into your config file.

This is still a mystery to me, since on all machines I try the speed is fine. I'm still waiting for some debugging analysis from users which have this problem. If I cannot reproduce it, I cannot fix it.



After upgrading to v2.6.0-beta4 everything works fine now.
Thanks for your help
  67674   Mon Mar 10 12:15:07 2014 Question Kay Grafkay.graf@fau.deQuestionLinux2.9.2-2455Author drop-down menu length

I am handling several ELOGs for medium-sized collaborations (scientific experiments) with a large number of authors (~250) and chose to have single-user access and entries for every author - in the config file, the "Options Author"-List contains ~150 name for now.

However, the Author drop-down menu stops after ~100 names - is that a ELOG-webserver hard limit? I checked there is nothing strange in the author names following (no strange character, etc.).

I tested it on Firefox, Chrome, Safari - it does not seem to be a browser issue.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello Kay,

I had to look it up in the source code: yes, you are right, it is hard-coded in elogd.h

 
English (auto-detected) » English
 

elogd.h:#define MAX_N_LIST      100

You can of course change the limit and recompile.

As an alternative, you could have sub-menus with less than 100 entries  (disclaimer: the following is untested example):

Attributes = author_range, author, ...
options author_range = A-K{1}, L-Z{2}
{1} options author = Andi, Bob, Camilla, Dennis, ..., Kay
{2} options author = Lily, Max, Norbert, Oscar, ..., Zeta

Cheers

Andreas

Hello Andreas,

thanks a lot for your quick reply - both options are valid and working. For simplicity (the author list is generated automatically from a shell script) I opted for the first one.

Best regards,

Kay

Hi!

Tryed windows an linux version. On booth the "Register new User" dialog is not displaying a password line.
so what password is used for the new user? Further the user can't change his password, because he didn't know the old one.

And if an admin user trys to change the password of an other user, a error is displyed that the old password of the admin user is
wrong and nothing happens with the password of the non-admin user.

elog console (admin user awrzkrz changes the password of testuser1):

GET /demo/?cmd=Config&config=TestUser1&cfgpage=1&admin=1&cfg_user=TestUser1&active=1&new_user_name=TestUser1&new_full_name=TEST+User&new_user_email=test%40heaven.org&cmd=Change+password HTTP/1.1
