Probably you did not install the FCKeditor. Just try a reply to this message, and you will see the many formatting icons on top of the page coming from that HTML editor. Without the editor, you will only see the plain HTML. You can switch back however to the old behavior by selecting the ELCode encoding. You can make this permanent with the "Default encoding =0" option.

Hi,

my ELOG sometimes dies with "deadc0de", do I have too large ELOG config or logbook? Or is it simply a bug?

What can I do to solve this problem? "ulimit"? Or some trace output from elog?

BR, Niklas

 This seems an internal memory allocation problem. Can you reproduce the error? Can you reproduce it with the minimal configuration file coming with the distribution? If you know how to run a program inside the debugger, you can send me a stack trace when the problem occurs and I can check it.

I intend to create a script that updates one of our elog logbooks based on mails it receives. I was hoping to be able to do this using the "elog" command line tool. Adding a new entry works fine, as does "replying" to an existing entry. The only thing I cannot get to work is editing an existing entry. All entries ahve several attributes and I intend not to use the "message" itself. I tried the following (on the machine this elogd is running on):

1. Create a new entry with Attribute1 set to "value":
   

   elog -a 'Attribute1=value' -x -h localhost -l 'LOGBOOK' -p 8080 -u USER PASSWD

   This works - the entry gets created and is displayed properly.
NOTE: I found that this does not work if LOGBOOK has any spaces in it - I would get error messages where the logbook was not found.
 

2. Edit this entry to set a second attribute:

   elog -e 1 -a 'Attribute2=something' -x -h localhost -l 'LOGBOOK' -p 8080 -u USER PASSWD

   The result was: Error transmitting message. Running the same command with -v gives me a whole bunch of text with at the end this message (I've stripped the HTML): "This entry has in meantime been modified by someone else. Submitting it now would overwrite the other modification and is therefore prohibited." However, I know for certain that this entry is not being editied by anyone at that moment, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong here...

hello all,

#1 i love ELOG : excellent app! i would like to ask/present a question here -- I have a couple of TYPE's defined as;

       Options Type = Day Shift, Swing Shift, Night Shift
What I'd love to be able to do, is depending on what TYPE was selected during the creation of a NEW ENTRY in the ELOG "shift log" I'd love to display in the LIST VIEW (full, summary, or threaded views) different color's based on which TYPE was selected...

for example, if someone chose "Day Shift" that would be listed with a GREEN background, if someone chooses "Swing Shift" that gets a BLUE background, and so forth... I am wondering how one would go about implementing this?

second question... instead of listing the column named TYPE, can I just change it somewhere in the config to "SHIFT" so that in the list view, and even when in the NEW ENTRY form, I'd like it to show "Shift" instead of TYPE --- really I am just wondering if I can change the verbage that ELOG is using for the term TYPE? Is that doable?

Thanks for the app, I look forward to any reponses! I been editing the CSS, and once done think I'll add it to yr Config Examples, as I don't see many CSS themes there...

-peace-

Style Shift Day = background-color:green
Style Shift Swing = background-color:blue

Attributes = Shift, Shift leader
Options Shift = Day, Swing, ... <and so on>
Options Shift leader = Mike, Edward, John, ... <and so on>

elog -a 'Attribute1=value' -x -h localhost -l 'LOG\ BOOK' -p 8080 -u USER PASSWD
