    Not sure if this has been mentioned before but using ecwebv3 and I've noticed the "Logout" doesn't function at all. Just takes it back to the main screen and does not log out at all.

    Thanks

    Do you have a "guest" account on your system?

    Not sure if this has been mentioned before but using ecwebv3 and I've noticed the "Logout" doesn't function at all. Just takes it back to the main screen and does not log out at all.

    I'll take a look at this.

    Have you logged on as anybody when this happens, or does the "Log out" link always show up?

    What's the value of the 'WebGuest' key in the [ecweb] section of your 'ctrl/modopts.ini' file? Does this correspond to the alias of an account that exists on your system?

    Most likely this is related to a known issue. I need to make ecweb deal with the absence of a (web-tailored or otherwise) guest account in a more sensible way than it currently does.

    I suspect the quick fix would be to create an account on your system that has only the permissions that you would like to grant to anonymous visitors from the web, then set 'WebGuest' (as mentioned above) to the alias of that account.

    Logout link only shows up when I log into the web page. If I close the browser and reopen it Will ask for the login again. Just can't log out by clicking the link.

    I will check once I get home.

    Will look into that.

    One more question. What would be the best way to create a link on the sidebar that just directly links to an external link. For the moment my external link is currently just an Iframe in a Xjs file so it'll show the link . I'm by far not an expert at anything JavaScript or the like so best I managed to do on my own was I made an external link once but the link made everything in the boxes below also linked to the same page. So was close but must have gotten my syntax slightly wrong I guess.

    Thanks

    One option would be to create a sidebar module specifically for showing external links. This would be as simple as creating a .html file in your sidebar/ directory and adding your links in there:

    <a href="http://poo.pee/">Poo Pee</a>
    <br />
    <a href="http://pee.poo/">Pee Poo</a>

    This doesn't need to be a complete HTML document with <html>, <head>, and <body> tags since it will be loaded inside of another one. The name of this file will affect its position in the sidebar.

    Another option would be to create a .html file inside of your pages/ directory containing something like this:

    <!--Poo Pee-->
    <script type="text/javascript">
    window.location = "http://poo.pee/";
    </script>
    <a href="http://poo.pee/">Poo Pee</a>

    The 'pages' sidebar module would see this file and add it to the list. As with sidebar modules, the name of this file will dictate its position in the list
    of links.

    If a user loads this page, they should be redirected to the external
    site automatically (or, if they have javascript disabled in their browser, they'll still have a link to the external site that they can click on.)

    So, those are the "right" ways of doing this using the mechanisms provided by ecweb. Technically you could just modify your 'sidebar/000-pages.ssjs' file and hard-code some links in there, but that could get messy.

    WebGuest = Guest

    So no it doesn't match any available users. I guess I can always just create a guest account if needed or maybe a low permissions "web" user. If that will help?

    Nope.

    It (ecwebv3) will work a lot better if you have a "guest" account on your system. It has known issues with systems lacking a guest account.

    Yes, that's what the WebGuest key in modopts.ini is for - you might want to apply different restrictions to web-based guest access than you do for your regular guest account.

    Good thought. Guess I should start learning more about synchronet permissions.

    Any good ideas on why when I use the ecwebv3 website in internet explorer the message board and email sections both error out "this page cannot be displayed"

    Didn't notice any errors listed in any logs.. So at a loss. Maybe something I broke at some point?

    Works fine in any other browser..

    No idea. Which version(s) of IE is it not working with? Is Javascript enabled in the browser? (The forum stuff relies on client-side JS for various things.)

    11.0.9600.17842 under Windows 8.1 is the version. Really is odd but I'm sure its not a huge loss since who really relies on IE for much.

    the message bases will load up until all the message bases are listed and then error out. The email doesn't show at all. But just an IE problem. Maybe IE decided it would support Client-side javascript as well as it handles HTML5.. lol
