Trying to set up my own dashboard for my BOINC projects and GPU Grid is the only one of 14 that doesnt display your full access key somewhere in your account page. The Weak Key does not work. | |

You can't just copy your GPUGrid.net authenticator from your account_www.gpugrid.net.xml file contents? | |

Many thanks. I had searched for this file many times with Explorer, but it was never found on my computer so assumed that was bad or old advice. Searching Google told me where the darn thing actually was--duh lol | |

I'm not sure whether you are asking about showing the account key for the project of the rpc_time field you mention. | |

Thats because this is my custom dashboard, as I explained. No, it has nothing to do with the account manager at all. This is in the xml document that comes from the project server when you request show_user.php--this is all GPU Grid (and YOYO@home). | |

Ahh, now I understand the reference. The rpc_time is the time of Last Contact shown on a projects website for a host of the last rpc_seqno. | |

I am not interested in if the information displays HERE :) It should behave like 99% of all the other projects and include the data in the standard response--otherwise its not really standard. The field is listed in the BOINC specs, so it should be there. Thats all I am saying. | |

The field is listed in the BOINC specs, so it should be there. Thats all I am saying. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/WebRpc The example given for show_user in this wiki does not list rpc_time in the output. Is there another reference we can refer to? As Keith Myers suggested try PM the admin (Toni) | |

I've been doing some work with the developers of BOINC over the last few years, so I may be able to shine some light on this. The tools you've discovered in trac / wiki / WebRpc are intended for project administrators to use, not for end users. They include powerful administrative tools with access to sensitive parts of the project's database - they might well be marked 'Authorized Personnel ONLY' :-) Having said that, BOINC is an open-source project which encourages outside developers such as yourself to create new tools to work alongside the main BOINC project. As you have done. There are no formal restrictions on this, but you are asked to behave politely - in this case, projects would ask that you keep the frequency of your RPC requests down to a modest rate, to keep the database query load and internet bandwidth use reasonable. I'm sure you're aware of that. BOINC is not static software - it is under continual development. The specific field you are interested in was added on Apr 30, 2012 - roughly half way through the lifetime of BOINC to date. Which opens several cans of worms. Neither the Trac WiKi, nor the server software at this particular project, have been updated in this respect. There are probably multiple reasons for this, but we as volunteers are not privy to them (resourcing, priority given to the scientific research, are two that come to mind). There are more, which I think would be better conveyed by private message, if you're interested. If you want to persue this issue with Toni, I suggest that you make it very clear that you are only asking for that single-line inclusion in html/inc/xml.inc - that looks to be safe and self-contained. I think there would be strong resistance to making any more significant changes to the current server code, without pressing scientific need. | |
