Re: Prewikka - Encoded aditional data (bug, feature or mistake)

Hello everybody,

meanwhile I was doing some research and probably discovered the source
of the problem. I enabled logging to the text files via the
prelude-manager`s textmod reporting plugin. All information was
displayed unencrypted including the aditional data, so I guess that the
problem must be in the db reporting plugin, or in the underlying
libpreludedb library. I was unable to find place where the encryption is
done so far.

Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

Any help is much appreciated, best regards
