icon1.gif   rename menu commands , posted by Francois Cloutier on Tue Apr 11 17:24:48 2017 

Hi !

I do have an setup were I would like to rename the menu command but keeping their fonction. Namely, I would like to rename the "copy to" button to "Duplicate" since thats the option I would like to put in place ( Copy to = Same logbook only).

I tried to do so with css but it is not possible since the button doesn't have a specific id... Would you have another solution ? 

Thanks for your help !

icon1.gif   MIME-version header duplicated in e-mail messages., posted by Michal Falowski on Thu May 4 17:20:36 2017 

When there are attachments in an entry, logbook is adding additional "MIME-Version" header to e-mail messages.

Spam filter in our university system is mostly giving warnings:

  • X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER SECTION, Duplicate header field: "MIME-Version"

But sometimes it is not redirecting further the message.

  • Remote Server returned '< #5.6.0 smtp; 554 5.6.0 Bounce, id=27666-07 - BAD HEADER>'

In code I noticed there is always "MIME-Version" header added to the message and additionaly it is added again when a file is attached. I think it is not neccessary to add again this header.

icon1.gif   Use X-Forwarded-User as preset in author field, posted by Stefano Lacaprara on Tue May 16 10:21:18 2017 
Hi,
  I have an elog server which uses apache/ldap for authentication.
I would like to have the username used for ldap to be set automatically as author field in the elog.

I'm using: 
Authentication = Webserver
and I do set the env-variable X-Forwarded-User correctly to the ldap username

GET /test/?cmd=New HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Authorization: Basic bGFjYXByYXI6TWEwMiSyYnVt
...
Cookie: elmode=Summary; sid=D7DE678B7CAA1D10; ufnm=lacaprar; urem=0
...
X-Forwarded-User: lacaprar

How can I preset author to X-Forwarded-User?
Preset Author = $??
I've tried $short_name/$long_name but I got Anonymous.
I understand that it is so because these are meant to be filled when password authentication is used: any way to use some other variable with the Webserver auth?

thanks in advance,
  Stefano
icon1.gif   Drop down order, posted by Alan Grant on Mon Jan 15 16:46:58 2018 

Can you please make a change to have the Quick Filter ComboBox controls reference the field type for ordering purposes?

For example, if attribute Lot Number is Type Numeric then the ComboBox should be listed in numerical order instead of alphanumeric (eg: 1,2,3,11,21 vs 1,11,2,21,3).

Best Regards.

icon1.gif   number of entries in Login user list, posted by Janusz Szuba on Wed Jun 13 18:08:06 2018 

Hi, 

could it be possible to increase the limit of entries in Login user list from 100 to somewhat reasonably higher? Like twice or 3 times as much. Similar limit exist also on Admin user list, which is afair 10, could this also be increased?

best

icon1.gif   Very long URLs in message list corrupt layout, posted by Ederag on Sun Mar 10 01:07:53 2019 

First, thank you so much for elog;
after using it for about 3 years, it has proven really handy and reliable.

When there is a very long URL in a message in "plain" encoding,
and this message is displayed in a list of messages,
a very long scrollbar appears at the bottom (same "scroll width" as the URL)
and some tabs and and dropdowns (filters) are unreachable without scrolling.

This does not happen if

  • the message is displayed in single message page
  • the message has a ELCode encoding
The exact version used is
0b9f7ed0 Merge branch 'develop'

There are no relevant instructions in elog.css for .messagelist,
and I did not find any obvious fix in the source code.

icon1.gif   Calculations & Interfacing a DataBase with Elog., posted by John on Sat Jun 22 06:52:32 2019 

Hi, I am trying to calculate two or more Elog fields and then return the value to Elog. I am currently learning Perl to do this. I realize JS can do this.. but so can IBM Basic ;)  I am savy with other db techniques like sql. My question is before I get too far along with this project, is it safe to say the current storage of Elog data is 'Flat File' database? I also want to find out if it would be better to try and grab the data prior OR  after it gets into the Elog database. I see there are other forum messages related to sql interfacing and such, but nothing conclusive.  I will submit my personal progress here. Thanks again, John
