i could be wrong ,but would it not default to what the last person used before the current?
Sun Sep 03 2023 21:21:18 EDT from LadySerenaKittySo ... I'm at a friend's place and I saw what webcit is doing with unauthenticated users. All rooms just use the mailbox view, if you select another view and then try to go to a different page, it just reverts to mailbox view.
Thought y'all should know.
I followed instructions here:
https://citadel.org/how_to_install_a_certificate_signed_by_a_recognized_certificate_authority.html
but my server doesn't have https working (I know I need let's encrypt, but I'm starting with the basics for now). One thing that I didn't see was a webcit keys directory in usr/local/webcit. Do you know if that is why the server is only http, or is there something else to do?
Thanks,
cd

Hmm, that seems to be an old document. The one you want is here:
[ https://citadel.org/sslcertificates.html ]
Sorry for the confusion.
I hope I'm in the right place.
I have Citadel working well. However, I am totally unable to delete mail from any room within Webcit. I think I may have clicked something so as not to allow Webcit to prompt me to confirm deletions.
I really would rather not have to reinstall!
Many thanks
One of the advantage of moving to an SQL backend like Postgres is that it would do full-text indexing for you, possibly better than a home-grown solution (e.g. built-in support for stopword and thesaurus etc)

Are you trying do delete messages from your account's own mailboxes or from "public" (forum) rooms?
The latter is only possible if you are logged in as an administrator.
There is also a setting "allow anyone who can post messages to delete" which can be set on a per-room basis.
I dont think he wants to delete he wants to mark as read, and its not working like it did for me in the GUI, after the purger went sideways.
Nevermind. delete this ( no pun ).. i was thinking the wrong post
I should go to bed.

True. We would have to consider that carefully though, because it would create a dependency. I know that our current indexer is sort of naive. It gets the job done, but it's not ultra-sophisticated. I suppose we could go to "you don't get indexing unless you use so-and-so backend" if we get to that point.
And that's the issue in general with the whole SQL database thing: how to keep supporting the thousands of existing Citadel installations that are currently running the Berkeley DB back end while developing features that require a SQL back end. It isn't going to be easy.
That doesn't mean I'm not willing to do it, but it is -- as they say in business jargon -- "a big lift".
Subject: Re: Unable to delete messages
Maybe this is your case and you should delete/reset those settings for the webcit page.
In firefox I don't remember if it is from the shield icon next to the URL.
In chrome it is the padlock and "Site settings".
You can try from different browsers to check if the problem is only with your current browser.

Yeah. "Just throwing it out there", really.
There has been some talk about moving Citadel to SQL lately, and two different design approaches have been floated. One approach would allow fulltext indexing, the other, not so much.
Hi.
It's been a while so sorry if i missed something.
I'm using Citadel on a Raspi 3B, been running for years.
I create a lot of users, so that it's easy to kill one should spam flood that user (which hasn't happened yet).
But i've also noted that those users can log in to get mail, but weren't able to send mail through a client.
They were able to send messages through webmail, but not by logging in with their mail program (such as Thunderbird), the passwords working in webmail will be denied.
I've been trying to find out why this happened, and found an answer somewhere else stating that passwords longer than 19 characters will not work.
So i've changed passwords, they're now up to 9 characters long (some of the not working ones were 12 characters long, most were 16).
Now they all work.
Is this a known issue, and is this a Citadel problem, something with SMTP protocols or could it be some OS problem with the PC running the client ?
I've been testing on a Win7 system if that is of any help.
I'll be testing on a Win11 system later on this week.
Thanks in advance for any of your insights.
so with the recent DB crash/restore/rebuilds, should i expect all my mail to be gone? Both incoming and outgoing? Not a big deal, didnt need them. Just that i noticed it today so i thought id mention it.

Not sure about that, but Citadel Server permits passwords up to 31 characters long.
Do the usernames have spaces or other non-alnum characters in them? Unless you have a very old Citadel you should be able to remove all of the spaces and other characters from the login name and it will still work. That often helps when using third party clients.

If you restored from a backup, everything should still be intact.
If you ran database_cleanup.sh , it depends on how bad your corruption was.
I've seen it restore everything perfectly, and I've seen it not recover perfectly.
Once again however, you should definitely be running Citadel Server version 991 or later. We made the database layer absolutely bulletproof by adding mmap (disk-backed) dbenv. I haven't been able to make it fail even after deliberately and repeatedly crashing the server under high write load.
it was on here at uncensored.. not a local copy. sorry i wasn't more clear. But again, not a big deal to me personally, i just thought id mention it, just in case.

As you know, here on Uncensored we run bleeding-edge Citadel software because we are the last stage of testing before new versions go out to the world.
And yes, the private rooms (including mailboxes) of some users were a casualty.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
For me, not a problem at all. Just didnt want to leave it unreported :)

Trying to install citadel using Easy Install. Libcitadel fails to install, it's missing the configure script. Was automake/autoconf not run ?

Noted. I pushed that update last night and just noticed that it had that problem.
You should be able to run it now with no problems. It's been fixed.
