Ups. This bug must have lingered there since the beginning of time. Funny that nobody noticed in the last ten years or so. I have fixed it in the current
git revision.

Thanks for the speedy fix.
FYI, our other Elog instances which are running ealrier versions do not exhibit this problem, as I confirmed that entering null
ID/password returns "Invalid Username or password" as expected. This may be why it wasn't mentioned by anyone else before. Maybe something |
Elog source code giving errors when compiling about missing header files, posted by rahul bhandari on Wed Dec 21 20:15:19 2016

I downloaded the source code from the git repository which contained the new fix that was made for the missing username-crash error. I tried compiling
the elogd.c file using a GCC compiler and it gave an error about missing header files. It first gave an error about netdb.h file and when I commented that
header file call, it gave further errors for other header files. I do not really understand why it gives an error about that. |

You need the netdb.h header file to compile elog. I see that you compile under Windows. You have to make sure that your compiler installation comes with
all header files. The netdb.h file is usually in /usr/include under Unix.

Gmail email smtp settings, posted by Devrim Esenturk on Mon Jan 2 16:32:18 2017

Hi all
I am trying to send email via Gmail smtp with no success. Elog uses port 25 which is not allowed. I need to use 587 or 465 ports to send mail.
How can I change the port? |

Opening a Local File using <a href="file:///../filename.doc">text</a>, posted by Terry Almond on Mon Jan 30 15:50:45 2017

I've created an elog where users can then enter links to a file: for example they would enter:
<a href="file:///M:/Data/Inspection%20Reports/ABC123.doc">ABC123</a>
If they are running this on their desktops where everyones M drive is mapped to the same location, not a problem, the file opens perfectly. |

Linking to external files via "file:///..." is a bad idea, since only a pointer is stored in the elog. So if someone puts somehing on M: and
the drive is removed, the file is physically gone. No way to retrieve it. Instead of puttting links to files, users should get trained to ATTACH the files
to elog cntries (V3 of elog has a "Drop attachments here..." section. Only then the files are physically transferred into elog and accessible |

Hi Stefan
Unfortunately this would become impractical for us as many of the test data files which we'd need to link too are Gb's in size, some
over 100Gb, hence only the files needed to do a say an inspection of the equipment would be copied onto memory sticks. Currently we use an excel speadsheet |
