I have found a little problem with elog. I'am using ELOG V2.5.8-6. When I'am on the logon page,
I type my Login and password and hit "submit", in the bottom of IE, we can show my password without encryption, it can be dangerous. I have made a screenshot to explain my problem better.
Could you fix it for the next release ?
Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately there is no real way around that. If a password is entered into a text box, it is always transferred in plain text (which means that in security-sensive installations one should always use SSL together with elog). I encrypt it on the server side and do an immediate redirect which "hided" the plain password, but if your connection is slow, you might see it for a moment. Unless nobody has a clever idea of how to prevent this, we're out of luck. |
Oki Thanks for the answer  .

 | Andy | nekto@myway.com | | | | Problem with auto-increment attribute | I have a very strange problem with auto-increment attribute. Here is a part of my configuration:
Attributes = Access ID, Harvest Date, Access, Species, PI, Submission date, Stain, Comments
Preset Access ID = MI-05-%03d
Type Harvest date = date
Type Submission date = date
I tried to add new entry, and it's Access ID is MI-05-001. But when I'm adding another entries,
there Access ID is MI-05-006
I found only one mention of using increment in documentation.
What I'm doing wrong? |

| David Spindler | dsspindler@earthlink.net | Bug report | Windows | 2.6.0-beta | Re: Incorrect Display | Never mind. I figured it out. I used two fields (date and time) that are automatically placed in elog. It messed up the spacing, altough what was puzzling was that it displayed correctly on the entry itself, but not the list. Anyway, I renamed the date and time to another name and it is ok.
Thanks, anyway. Keep up the good work.

I will attach two screen captures for illustraton. Never mind, I guess not. It is not letting me upload the screen captures.

I will be glad to eamil the screen captures, if anyone wants.
I am running Firefox 1.0.3 (same results with IE 6, BTW), on a WinXP OS (sorry fellows, but I am still in process of learning Linux, so I have not tried this version of elog on it, yet), on a Gateway 2.2 GHZ, 1 GB RAM PC.
BTW, I love elog and have it running at work. It is being used extensively. |
I guess it did upload. Here is the other screen capture.

Sombody used an invalid formed email address, like user<at>domain<dot>com, on which the SMTP server complained. I would like to note here that the email addresses registered in this forum are not published in any way, so there is no risk to get spam from that (except the normal elog notifications, which can be turned off easily). |
