I am trying to add additional information to the subject of new entries:

Subst subject = $subject [INCIDENT $message id]
Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject
Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject

However, the new entry subject looks like:

this is my subject [INCIDENT this is my subject [INCIDENT $message id]

I'm not sure if there's a problem with the substitution or if this is just not allowed (I'm having LISP flashbacks).

By the way, if I use "Subst on reply subject" I get the behavior I would like but the original entry in the thread doesn't contain the appended data:

Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject [INCIDENT $message id]

Any help would be appreciated.

The problem here is that the subsitution is executed before the entry is committed to the database. The message ID is assigned however only in the commit. So at the time of the substitution, the $message id is not available. When you do the reply however, the message id is valid and subsituted correctly. I see at this moment no clever solution for your problem (maybe "Subst on edit", but then you have to edit/submit each message manually once).

Hi Stefan,

Any possibility on this one?

end up getting broken and won't be displayed. The only way to fix this is to remove the image and re-upload the

EDIT:

On further inspection it seems that when you are moving messages to another log book the image date filename

is re-written which of course breaks the html link to the image.  Is there anyway to supress this so that the filename

stays in tact when it's moved from one book to another. I don't see why the name of an attachment has to get changed

just because something is moved around.

 

I fixed this in revision #2204. The attachment names now stay the same. There is one tiny risk of screwing up, namely if you have the same attachment name in two different logbooks (accidentally also submitted at the same second and therefore the same time stamp). If you then copy these two entries to a third logbook, one attachment will overwrite the other one, but that risk is indeed really small. I actually had to re-write the link to the attachment inside the text body (even differently for ELCode and HTML encoding). So I'm not 100% sure I covered all cases, so just give it a try.

 This is a major improvement. The only issue now is when we embed an image in the body of the message elog makes a nice thumbnail. When you move the message to another logbook the thumbnail doesn't work and instead it shows the MASSIVE full size version of the picture instead. Is that possible to fix?

 

Thanks Stefan!

Here is the patch.  It works under both Solaris and Linux.

Hi,

There's seems to be a memory leak with elogd.exe running windows.  I had this problem with older version of elogd.exe, i've just upgrade to the latest and the problems still exist. I've had this issue with earlier versions.  I've just upgrade elog to the latest 2.76 version. The memory leak still persist. I really appreciate if you or anyone here can help me resolve this issue. 

 

ELOG has been carefully designed not to contain memory leaks. The server for this forum for example runs for months without problem:

[ritt@midas ~]$ ps aux | grep elogd

elog      1958  0.4  3.1  39412 32940 ?        Ss   May09 178:16 /usr/local/sbin/elogd -D -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg

So if you have a problem, it must be specific to your installation. You should note that if you up- or download big attachents, memory gets allocated for some network buffers to contain these attachments. The buffer is kept to contain the largest attachment, it will never shrink. But once established, it will also not grow. If you see however a constant increase in memory consumption, I would appreciate if you tell me how you do this. Like which configuration you use, if you just read entries or also upload them, etc. etc. Once I can reproduce exactly your problem, I can try to fix it.

I have implemented this feature in revision 2205. You need to set the new flag "Preserve IDs = 1" in the 
configuration. I have not tested this extensively, but I'm sure you will do it ;-)

Can you try revision #2206?
