I just see your [global] part of elogd.cfg, could you send me the complete file?

What you also could try is to delete all cookies stored in your browser. The way
cookies are formed changed between 2.5.2 and 2.5.3, so the system could be
confused by old cookies.

The <table> tags are there on purpose. As you can combine several attributes
into one line (see this forum for example), it's necessary to make an
independent <table> for each line. This causes the shifting as you noted
correctly. To avoid this, simple increase the width of the attribute name field
in the CSS file. Edit <elo>/themes/default/default.css, find the section with
".attibname" and change the width from 150px to 200px, such as

.attribname {
  width:200px;
  background-color:#CCCCFF;
  border:1px solid #0000FF;
  border-top:1px solid white;
  border-left:1px solid white;
  padding:3px;
}

I tried this with http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Config+Examples/1, and it wroked
fine (see attachment). [I had to increase the text size a bit in my browser to
reproduce the initial problem]

Dear Stefan,
I eventually tried the latest version from the CVS. 
And it is odd because like when I tried version 2.5.3, it is like it ignores
the passwd file. I guess I must have a problem in my cfg file.
So I can't really test if 2.5.3 or 2.5.4 have the same problem.

Right now I'm still using 2.5.2 which works fine, if i log out and click on
the logbook tab. I get the page which ask for the username and password. The
thing is I don't get returned to the username/password when I hit log out. I
arrive in the state you can see in the unlogged.jpg.
From here if can go into all the logbooks as long as I don't hit the
logbooks tab and worse I can access to all the config files.

Is there something really badly configured in my config file ? I guess it is
not supposed to work that way.

Thank you,

Alexandre

I like the implementation, especially with the tooltip popping up anywhere in the
area.  Thanks.
  642   Mon Aug 2 14:56:56 2004 Warning Heiko Scheith.scheit@mpi-hd.mpg.deBug reportLinux2.5.4too many <table> tags
There are too many <table> tags when displaying a singel entry.  E.g.
in http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Config+Examples/1 the row 'Configuration Name'
is not aligned with the others (see attachment).

Looking at the HTML one sees that there are <table> tags for each row
which should not be there:

<tr><td><table width="100%" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td nowrap
class="attribname">Author:</td><td class="attribvalue">
Stefan Ritt&nbsp</td>
</tr></table></td></tr>

Not really, but hsearch() & Co. are not available under Windows, so I have to extract the
source code from the GNU C libarary or so. Since the last discussion I had lots of other
topics on my to-do list, such as mirroring and cloning, but the speed issue is getting more
and more up on the priority list.

Yeah - What's up with that?

I have seen this discussed before - Seems like it should be a priority to get this
fixed, as doing a hash table is straightforward, and the speed increase should be pretty
health - there are several c libraries available - check out "man 3 hsearch" for the
POSIX hash table management that already available.  Other c library searches that you
could use include bsearch (binary tree), tsearch (tree searching), btree (b+ tree). 
However, the easiest and most obvious one to use for elog appears to be a simple hash
table search (hsearch).

Is there something else  which is making this difficult to do?
