Is there a way to add a button to the elog interface which would execute a python command?

We have multiple users for a single elog.  Aside from making an entry only editable by the author, is there a way to secure the entry if it is being edited so that only one user may edit a particular entry at one time?

Also, is there a way to auto-submit entries after x minutes?

Your help and support are appreciated.

You can use

use lock = 1

as described in the documentation. Auto-submission is on the wishlist and will be implemented in the not-so-far future. 

No, there are only the options

execute new = ...

execute edit = ...

execute delete = ...

though which you can execute external scripts. Maybe this is enough? 

Hi All,

I found that elog crashes if I try to upload an image with long name. It actually uploads the file after the crash. It crashes also if in the full view with attachments visible. If I shorten the name all is fine.

The crash report screenshot is attached. It looks like a too small buffer (?).

When compiling elog on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks), I get the error below.

Elog will compile without error if I add -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 to CFLAGS in Makefile, but I'm not sure whether this is a good idea.

$ make

cc -O3 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -W -Wall  -I../mxml  -DHAVE_SSL -w -c -o crypt.o src/crypt.c

cc -O3 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -W -Wall  -I../mxml  -DHAVE_SSL -o elog src/elog.c crypt.o -lssl

All over sudden gcc comes with its own version of "strlcpy", which I had defined "manually" since many years inside ELOG. Using -DFORTIFY_SOURCE=0 will not harm, so you can use it. The "real" solution is to take our ELOG's strlcpy/strlcat, which I did on the current SVN version.

Best regards,

Ok, I tried updating my SVN working copy, but I didn't get any updates past elog rev. 2494, mxml rev. 74.  I undid my changes to Makefile, tried to compile, but got the same errors.  

I then pulled down elog and mxml with git, and these are working for me with no errors.  Thanks!
