for (var i=0 ; i<document.form1.y0.value.length ; i++)
    if ((document.form1.y0.value.charAt(i) < "0" ||
         document.form1.y0.value.charAt(i) > "9")) { break }

This cause in following error 
Fehler: document.form1.y0 is undefined
Quelldatei: http://elog1.bkitech.de/Test-Maengelbericht/?cmd=Neu
Zeile: 16 
After that error none js will be executed.
After remarking the Type line, all work well.

I tried with following minimal configuration file:

Attributes = D, Author, Subject
Type D = Date
Preset D = $Date

and it worked fine. The form contains a field:

Year: <input type="text" size=5 maxlength=5 name="y0">

which contains the name "y0" and therefore produced no error. Can you try with that configuration and see which difference to your configuration causes the error to appear?

There are other debugers ...

  Whay don't you give them a try?

  example: Install "strace" (if you don't have it) and do something like ...

           strace   gdb /usr/local/sbin/elogd 6162  -debug 2>debug.out


   Also there is "ltrace", etc.

Crashes with attached images are getting reported more and more these days, but so far I was not able to reproduce it. Maybe it's related to ImageMagic 
somehow, in which case disabling this feature might give some insight. To do so, you have to modify elogd.c and recompile. Change

   /* check for ImageMagick */
   my_shell("convert -version", str, sizeof(str));
   image_magick_exist = (strstr(str, "ImageMagick") != NULL);


to

   /* check for ImageMagick */
   image_magick_exist = 0;

Hi Stefan,

That's what I attempted to do, but the need to restart ELOG before I could get to the gdb console prevented us from obtaining a stack trace.  I am now setting up a test ELOG server where we will continue 
trying to reproduce our crashes and obtain a stack trace.

This has now been done and installed on our production server.  I will let you know if we have any more crashes with ImageMagick disabled.

Many thanks,

This is unfortunately not possible. All users see the same options. 

You can put the pictures in a table, and align the table cells accordingly. Here is an example:

Now you can make the border invisible by setting "border=0". This however can only be done in the HTML mode, so you have to switch using the top left icon "Show HTML source code" and then manually edit the code. This requires some basic HTML knowledge. The result will look like this:

Its a lot of html tutorials on the net, so i think i will make it with the tables ^^

Regarding the 'Options Category' I can live with it... I have removed edit mode in User, so only Admin can delete or edit.

One last question.. Background color possible?  (Not Style)

Kim R

Only through style (that's what style is for, anyhow). 

Hi Stefan,

The bad news is that elogd is still crashing even after disabling Image Magick.  The good news is that this time it was reproducible and I did obtain a
stack trace using gdb.  In this instance, a user was attempting to edit an entry he had just successfully posted.  In the crash shown below, he just Clicked
on "Edit" to edit the entry and then "Submit" without changing any text.  In the previous crash (that I don't have a stack trace for), he did actually try
to update the text of the entry.

Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide.

Many thanks,
Devin
