I like the implementation, especially with the tooltip popping up anywhere in the
area.  Thanks.
  655   Thu Aug 5 10:49:21 2004 Idea Stefan Rittstefan.ritt@psi.ch AllallLogin/Logout problem with elog and their solution
Hi everybody,

several people have reported of strange problems concering the login/logout
behaviour of elog. After editing elogd.cfg, they could not logout any more
from a logbook, or they were not able to log in. Here comes some
explanation. If you are not interested in the details, skip to the last section.

The login parameters (user name and password) are sored in cookies, which of
course have to be enabled for the elog site in your browser. Each cookie can
contain an optionsl "path=..." statement, which defines for which subtree in
the URL the cookie is valid. If you use a "global" password file (one where
the "password file = ..." statement is in the [global] section of
elogd.cfg), the elogd server stores a cookie with path "/", so it will apply
to the whole site and therefore to all underlying lobooks. If your password
file is defined in an individual logbook section, the elogd server stores a
cookie with path "/<logbook>", so that it applies only to the specific logbook.

The problem arises now if one moves the password file statement from the
global section to the logbook section or back. The browser might still have
old cookies, whic can override any newly set cookie.

Long story short conclusion: If you observe this behaviour, just delete all
cookies in your browser and you should be fine. I added some additional code
to version 2.5.4 which catches a few cases but unfortunately not all.
  656   Fri Aug 6 22:35:10 2004 Warning Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comBug reportAll2.5.4THREAD DISPLAY = sucks up coded spaces
I was trying to do some hard coded spaces using:

Thread display = For: $Date for Shutdown.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$DataCenter:
$short summary. Coordinator: $Shutdown Coordinator.

The spacing actually works mthe first time, but upon going back into editing
the config file, the coded spaces are gone, replaced with real spaces, and
when saved all real multiple spaces are, as one would expect, ignored.  The
spacing reverts back to normal.

I tried other html tags but these show up as literals.

Thanks

I fixed that in revision 1.448. The problem also showed up even in normal
logbook entry displays and in replies (before this fix, the &nbsp; in this text
whould not have shown up). Get the new version from CVS.

As always - fantastic!

Thanks
  661   Wed Aug 11 18:02:22 2004 Question Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comQuestionAll2.5.4Q: on 'FIND MENU commands =' <menu list>
The help text on the website says the following:

"The command Select can be used to select multiple messages for deletion of
moving to other logbooks."

This is not clear but was the intent to indicate that SELECT can be used to
either select multiple log entries for deletion OR for moving to another
logbook?  If the latter, then this does not work if one adds the MOVE TO
menu item to the list.  If the former then the helptext is a little misleading.

Thanks!
