icon4.gif   problem with list display attribute, posted by John Habermann on Thu Jul 28 01:02:00 2005 
I not sure if this has been found and fixed as I did find something to do with the list display attribute in the forums but wasn't sure if it was the same thing.

There seems to be a bug with the List Display attribute in that it drops the last attribute of the list. So in my example if I want to display the Subject in my list I have to add a dummy attribute after it otherwise the Subject will not be displayed. The comma after Subject is not enough, but all you have to do is to add 1 letter and then you will see the subject in List view. If you don't all I see is the Date and Author fields and then the Text field in my Summary view in the log book.

List Display = Date,Author,Subject,t

I am running elog 2.5.9+r1674-1 on Debian sarge.
icon4.gif   Response is very slow with beta3, posted by PJ Meyer on Thu Jul 28 04:27:30 2005 
I finally got 2.60 Beta3 running on my server (explicit statements in cfg for most of the defaults)

Now I'm seeing a veerrry slooooow response time - over 3 minutes to open a logbook vs 10 sec in 2.54
Utilization of CPU runs to 60% on elogd.

Tried slimning down elog.cfg, 'emptying' userlog file (actually renamed so Elog created a new one).

Still 2.60b3 is very slow to respond.

When I rolled back to 2.54 speed was fast again.

Any ideas?

this is on a dual processor Win2000 server with 2 gb memory.

attached is the elog.cfg if that helps.

i'm stumped

7/28 Follow-up testing and trials

When I stopped using a password file - speed was quick and responsive (on test book with no password file speed was good which got me thinking about the password file)
When I added back in the 'old' xml password file - slow response
I created new password file with only one user - slow response (took almost 3 minutes to save new account)

I've attached the password file so you can try it out if yo want....

This has me very stumped.
icon4.gif   Comment tooltip shows comment from other logbook, posted by Oleg Solovyanov on Wed Aug 10 18:32:14 2005 
I have several logbooks with Comment lines,
but the tooltip shows sometimes the correct comment,
sometimes the comment from other logbook...

I see the same behaviour also on this very page...

I use Mozilla 1.7.10.
Tried with Konqueror -> same problem.
icon4.gif   Install error on MacOS X, posted by Exaos Lee on Mon Oct 10 19:22:51 2005 makefile_modified.tgz
Executing "make" on MacOS X is OK, but "make install" failed due to the following error:
/usr/bin/install -m 0755 -d /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/man/man1/ /usr/local/man/man8/
/usr/bin/install -m 0755 -o bin -g bin elog elconv /usr/local/bin
install: bin: Invalid argument
make: *** [install] Error 67

The reason is that the account "bin" and group "bin" are missing on MacOS X. I also found that the following lines in "Makefile" doesn't work:
ifeq ($(OSTYPE),darwin)
CC = cc
endif

I have fixed this problem. The diff of Makefile as following:
diff Makefile.darwin Makefile.origin
====================================
24,25d23
< BINOWNER = bin
< BINGROUP = bin

The modified Makefiles have been attached.

Hi again!

I noticed the quickfilter option in the config guide in the meantime Wink!
I have one question however, concerning the "Resource Dir"-statement of the
config file. When setting it, the default theme doesn't work any more, I get
white background and no color schemes when going to the elog page with the
browser. Does this mean that the default resource location (/usr/share/elog/themes)
is overriden by this statement, and that all resources have to be put there
(if so, is it on purpose or is it a bug)?

Thanks

Yoshio

BTW, do you think it is at all feasible to implement the changes we mentioned earlier?
icon4.gif   Quicklink does not work for one field, posted by mark james on Mon Oct 24 12:00:51 2005 
I am not so bold as to log this as a bug but one of my Quicklink fields just do not work. It is the "Spacecraft" field. When I select any 'Spacecraft' quicklink, the no. of records stays exactly the same (i.e. no. in full recordset). If I select F1, then I see F1 highlight in yellow in the string "4F1". But strangely the "F1" entries are not highlight. Very strange.

icon4.gif   Preset text overriden after preview, posted by Yoshio Imai on Wed Oct 26 16:00:00 2005 
Hi, Stefan!

I have run across a problem with preset texts. We have defined a form to be filled in when the operator selects a specific combination of attributes. This form appears correctly, but after filling in the form, clicking on "Preview" leads to an error: the preview text is correct, but the actual text entry field is overriden again with the empty form. Clicking on "Submit" at this point then submits only the empty form, and the information filled in is lost.
When clicking on "Submit" without previewing, the text is entered correctly to the elog. Do you know where the problem might come from?

Thanks in advance

Yoshio
icon4.gif   page2?cmd=List does not show next page, posted by Oleg Solovyanov on Tue Nov 15 08:35:33 2005 
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the following does not work on a Elog with multiple pages:

1. View message
2. Click List
3. Click Next or page number
4. Only the last page is shown

It looks like the URL pageN?cmd=List does not work, while pageN works.

Any hints?

Same behaviour can be seen also with Discussion forum on Elog site.
