I recently upgraded elog from 2.7.8 to 2.8.0 (and moved servers, removed unused logbooks, etc.). I'm now having a problem where elog consistently crashes when attempting to edit multiple entries. This is a very common use case, as we use a "status" field, set to "open" or "closed" to track problems. When a problem is resolved, we will go to the "list" display, set it to "threaded", "select" the thread, and then edit it, to change the status field for all posts in the thread to "closed".

Now, as soon as the "edit" button is clicked, elog crashes. This happens on every thread and logbook that I've tried. The elog logfile itself doesn't show anything useful.

However, if eLog is run with "-v" in place of "-D", it does not crash.

 

Environment:

        CentOS 5.4

        eLog 2.8.0 built Aug  5 2010, 12:24:11

 

I tried to reproduce your problem with following simple configuration file:

[Bergman]
Attributes = Author, Status
Options Status = open, closed
Preset Author = $long_name

 

The result was that it worked fine (see attachments). Maybe there is another setting in your configuration file which causes the problem. Can you try the simple configuration and see if it still crashes?
