  68364   Thu Jul 21 07:44:04 2016 Question Antonio Bulgheroniantonio.bulgheroni@gmail.comQuestionWindows2.9.2Different logbook files when running elogd as admin or normal user

Dear all, I have a problem with my window elog installation (2.9.2) and I would like to ask your help for solving it.

I'm using elog on my lab computer for a single user installation, so something very simple. It was running smoothly for many months using the automatic window service (i.e. elogd was started automatically at boot). I need to add that the service is started as the local administrator, while my user has no administrative rights. ELOG is installed in the standard location C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\ with the logbook folder inside and this is actually accessible only for admins.

On 8/04/2016, elogd crashed while I was saving an edited message. Then instead of restarting the service or rebooting the PC, I was just starting elogd manually (as me not as admin). It worked for many weeks. And now comes the problem: at the next reboot the elogd service came up automatically but all the new records I added in the logbook since I re-started manually are not there. Indeed in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\logbooks the latest entry is 160408a.txt. But if I stop the service and restart elogd manually (as me not as admin), then I can see in the logbook all the new entries.

My questions is where the ascii files corresponding to the new entries? They must be saved somewhere, maybe in some temporary folder. I want to copy them back and keep them in the backup to avoid unpleasant surprise.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Antonio

Several strings in ELOG are limited to 256 chars. It is likely the limit for URLs, too.
The magic number "256" appears 285 times in the elogd.c file.
It is probaly easier if you compress long URLs with goo.gl

What is the string length limit in url tag and how to increase it?

For example,

[url=http://example.com?<text_string>]click here[/url]

When I provide very long <text_string>, it was truncated and showed partial link only.

How can I escape [] inside url tag?

\[\] seems not working.

 

That tweak works!

Thanks

My group uses the precompiled Debian binary, and I use ELCode to format my log reports. (I've found it to be the easiest way to generate inline images)

Yesterday, I submitted an entry that renders correctly on the elog itself, but the email report that was sent to my collaborators was quite confusing, because every picture in it was the same. Interestingly, all the images used inline in the report were attached to the original, but they were stripped of their context.

I've attached screen shots of both reports.

Forgive me I'm not incredibly Elog savy yet.

A little backround about this log book -  I have our log set up as individual user names.  The log book is designed for entrys to be made when a process shutdown needs to be bypassed.  The operator will create an entry and submit it.  Then a supervisor will come in after and review/approve it.  I've removed the edit function,  but left the "Reply" option available for the supervisor to go into the same entry and check off the "Reviewed" attribute.  When the reviewed attribute is checked off, even with a different logged in author the next entry ID still shows the original author that put in the entry rather then the author who clicked reviewed.  If there a way to get around this?

[Process Bypass]
Comment = (Not in use right now, currently developing)

Moptions Supervisor Sign-off = Reviewed
