 27 Feb 2014, Andreas Suter, Suggestion, runlog is "ugly" 
|
I have a couple of questions and suggestions concerning the "new" CSS style of the mhttpd, especially related to the runlog
[LIST=1]
[*] If I am not mistaken, the mhttpd.css is hard coded (path/name) into the mhttpd. Wouldn't it be beneficial to have ODB entries where to get is from? |

mhttpd.css is served from $MIDASSYS/resources/mhttpd.css. The actual path is reported on the mhttpd

Understand me right, I mostly like the new style, except the runlog as reported.
Attached you will find the diff's you were asking for. But as pointed out, I
haven't worked so far on CSS and hence this should be checked!!

I agree that this should be removed, Unfortunately I'm away right now, so I will fix it next week. Also will put in

I put mhttpd.css and mhttpd.js into the ODB, so every experiment can change it. I put also Andreas' modifications of the CSS file for the runlog table and
committed the changes.

I'm looking into using MIDAS for an experiment that creates one large event
(20MB or more) every second.

Works, and here is how I did it. The attached example is based on the standard MIDAS
example in "src/midas/examples/experiment".

23 Sep 2013, Stefan Ritt, Info, Custom page header implemented
|
Due to popular request, I implemented a custom header for mhttpd. This allows to inject some HTML code
to be shown on top of the menu bar on all mhttpd pages. One possible application is to bring back the old
status line with the name of the current experiment, the actual time and the refresh interval.

12 Feb 2014, Stefan Ritt, Info, Custom page header implemented

As reported in the bug tracker, the proposed header does not work if no specific (= different from the default 60 sec.) update period is specified,
since then no cookie is present. Here is the updated code which works for all cases:

I am not sure what to do with the javascript snippet - I understand it should be somehow connected to /Custom/Header, but if I create the /Custom/Header
string, I cannot put this snippet
into this string using odbedit - if I try to cut&paste it into odbedit, it is truncated to the first line - nor using the mhttpd odb editor - when I cut&paste |

Just read elog:908, it tells you to put this into a file, name it header.html for example, and put into the ODB:

31 Jan 2014, Stefan Ritt, Info, Separation of MSCB subtree

Since several projects at PSI need MSCB but not MIDAS, I decided to separate the two repositories. So if you
need MIDAS with MSCB support inside mhttpd, you have to clone MIDAS, MXML and MSCB from bitbucket
(or the local clone at TRIUMF) as described in

The periodic messages about broken semaphore actually come from al_check(). I put some whining there, too.

This is interesting. When I used it last time (some years ago...) it worked fine. I did not touch this, and now it's broken. Must be related to some modifications |

On MacOS 10.9 MIDAS will crashes in strlcpy() somewhere inside odb.c. We think this is because strlcpy()
in MacOS 10.9 was changed to abort() if input and output strings overlap. For overlapping memory one is
supposed to use memmove(). This is fixed in current midas, for older versions, you can try this patch:
