Forum quirks, posted by Christoph Kukulies on Wed Nov 24 11:55:57 2010

I just got a Proxy error from your site: When I clicked on the change password link that was sent to my email, I entered my new password (which was the same that I believed to have used before) and after submitting this form, I got the Proxy error. Also I find that I can never login with my once set password. Is it the Email or username on gives in the login field? Other quirk: I never can preview my post. When I click preview, nothing happens. Submitting worked today but yesterday I was unable to submit a post. I clicked several times on the submit button and nothing happened. -- Christoph |

Self Register = 3 doesn't work any longer, posted by Olivier Callot on Wed Apr 13 10:51:34 2011
|
With the recent Elog 2.9.0 rev 2412 the Self Register = 3 option doesn't work as expected: The user is immediately allowed to login. This is not what this option was doing, which is to wait for an approval by the administrator. Can this behaviour be restored, or should I change the value of the Self Register flag? Thanks |

Re: ELOG deamon stuck in find_thread_head(), posted by Soren Poulsen on Wed Jul 6 12:06:01 2011

ELOG seems to enter a loop when you do certain opeations on certain messages: I moved a message to a different logbook and the deamon just gets stuck.
If I restart the daemon, the message was in fact moved: I can move it back to its original destination without problems.
I started in GDB and break with ctrl-C when the process gets stuck, to be told :
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
0x000000000040a968 in find_thread_head ()
I then made a core dump.
I put the files here: http://cern.ch/poulsen2/elog-error-report-110430.zip (they are too big to upload).
I get into the same problem in other circumstances such as when opening some threads (maybe because they contain "Reply-to" references to non-existing messages, but I have problems reproducing this on the test installation.
I should maybe also submit the incriminating thread.

1. It appears that some times find_thread_head is called with message references that do not exist. That is not good.
I put in a little check like this before seeing if the message has an "in_reply_to" reference:
The line:
if (lbs->el_index[i].in_reply_to)
becomes:
if (i < *lbs->n_el_index && lbs->el_index[i].in_reply_to)
2. The trouble started when I deleted a message in the middle of a thread, which left the thread badly "connected" (references to a deleted message).
3. Also, when a thread is badly connected, it is a problem moving messages to a different logbook. ELOG complains that it cannot access the message (with the invalid reference). But ELOG should ignore it, since the message was deleted.

It would be nice to have this corrected. The problem occurs when you select (read) a message which refers to another message via "In-reply-to", and this message does not exist.

Global Synchronization with 2.9.0, posted by Steve Nahn on Wed Nov 9 20:15:38 2011
|
Hi
I just updated my mirror server, which I just use as a backup to my main server, to 2.9.0 and found that after logging in (the selection page is not protected, but the individual logbooks are) and coming back to the selection page I no longer get the "Synchronize all logbooks" even though I am an admin user. The relevant code is in elogd.c in the show_selection_page() routine:
/* only admin user sees synchronization link */
if (is_admin_user("global", getparam("unm"))) {
rsprintf("<tr>\n");
rsprintf("<td colspan=13 class=\"seltitle\">\n");
rsprintf("<a href=\"?cmd=Synchronize\">%s</a></td>\n", loc("Synchronize all logbooks"));
rsprintf("</tr>\n");
}
what is happening is that after logging in to a logbook and coming back to the selection page, the "unm" parameter is not set, so getparam("unm") returns NULL, who clearly is not in the admin user list. The strange thing is that in an individual logbook the unm (and uname) parameters are working fine, and I have admin rights - can change the global config file, do an individual synchronization, etc. It is just from the selection page that the unm parameter is not working.
In fact, I commented out the if statement above, just to see if I could get synchronized using the link, and that failed too, with a message "No user name supplied for remote access" even though I do have a "mirror user" statement in my config. Again, if I do each one individually it all works. In addition, the cron synchronization (i.e. mirror cron) also works fine.
Obviously this isn't crucial, just a pain that can be worked around, but if anyone has any ideas I'd be glad to hear them.
Steve
PS Another feature request: when you forget to set an icon in this forum and then use the "back button" it shouldn't force you to rewrite the whole message over again! |

Re: Truncation of the displayed text in Summary view of the list of entries, posted by Olivier Callot on Wed Mar 14 15:08:17 2012

In the summary view, it seems that the text is truncated at the first "<" character. See https://lblogbook.cern.ch/Shift/48812 for a simple entry, then use the 'list' command to see that only a very small part is displayed.
|
That's a feature 
In the summary view, I cannot use any HTML code, since it will screw up the table layout. Therefore elog searches for any "<" and ">" pairs and removes the text in between. In principle one could do a better job, but I do not want to write a complete HTML interpreter just for that purpose.
|
Well, this is a choice. But if the encoding of the entry is 'plain', you could just avoid checking for embeded HTML. We use the summary view constantly for our main experiment logbook. Thanks anyway. |

FCKEditor doesn't show up in Windows 8?, posted by John Haggerty on Wed Feb 20 02:45:45 2013
|
After installing ELOG on a new Windows 8 machine, I found everything working fine... until I went to make a new entry. New entries work... but the FCKEditor toolbars do not show up. I tried a variety of things (start as a service, start not as a service, run as administrator), but nothing made the toolbar appear that I coumd find. The ELCode editor toolbar appears, but the nifty FCKEditor toobar never appears. I could not figure out how to debug FCKEditor. Any ideas? |

kerberos authentication NOT working, posted by Fabio Sella on Wed Oct 30 17:57:38 2013
|
Hi guys,
we configured a kdc server using OPENLDAP as backend. We installed on it elog and configured the Kerberos Authentication on one logbook as follows:
Authentication = Kerberos, File
Kerberos Realm = TEST.COM
Password file = ./pwd.xml
⇄
Detect language » Italian
Even if the kinit comand is retrieving correctly a ticket for the user tsearch@TEST.COM(we see it using klist and tcpdump on lo interface), elogd kerberos authentication is not working.
We tried using tcpdump for troubleshooting but no traffic is generated on the loopback interface.
Did someone solve this problem or do you have an idea on how to make the kerberos authentication working?
Thanks |
