Description

There is some logic that prevents editing a log if more than one project is included. I believe that it makes sense to limit ourselves to one project when editing, but it should be possible to submit a multiple-project log. Unfortunately, that same logic is hiding the submit button. I am investigating a fix. How did you deal with this last year? I can't see how this ever worked. I think that I have a workaround that should get you through. Frankly, the ip_log.php code scares me just enough to prevent me from tinkering with it too much this close to the big release. When you're ready to submit, log in and go here: http://www.eclipse.org/projects/ip_log_submit_to_legal.php?projectid=webtools.common,webtools.dali,webtools.ejbtools,webtools.jeetools,webtools.jsdt,webtools.jsf,webtools.servertools,webtools.sourceediting,webtools.webservices Note that this page actually stages the submit; you have to click the "Send to..." button to actually make anything happen. If you navigate here and get a text field and button, then we should be cooking. Actually... it would be helpful if you could do that and let me know whether or not you're actually cooking... I'll try to build up confidence enough to make the "Submit" button appear on the ip_log.php button as I suspect that others will be looking for it before too long. In fact, I'm renaming this bug since the problem is not limited to Web Tools. FWIW, the submit mechanism is being reworked in the new generation of IP Log tools (Project Woolsey) and this problem should not manifest there. last year I did a bunch of copy/paste/editing to put the webpage output in an odf document, and then saved that as pdf and sent that pdf file as our ip log. all with the promise "we'll fix it later ... " :) You want me to try it now? Before we are ready to submit, just to test? seemed to work ... I wrote a "this is a test only ..." message, so IP Staff will know its not the final thing. (In reply to comment #4) > seemed to work ... I wrote a "this is a test only ..." message, so IP Staff will > know its not the final thing. Okay. Sounds like we have a viable workaround. I've set the severity to "major". I'll keep this bug open for the time-being as I'd really like to try and see what I can do about the "Submit" button on the main page.

The "Submit The Log" button should be enabled if the currently logged in person is a committer on all of the projects in the log. I don't think this solves the problem for Web Tools. I will mark this bug as FIXED and direct my attention to Bug 316769 to allow a PMC member to submit. |
