We have quite a number of logbooks and when someone requests a login account AND elects to register with all of the logbooks, the resulting URL is apparently too long for browsers to handle when the admins click on the link embedded in the email notification. For example, FireFox (latest ver) appears to truncate the URL *after* submission (the correct URL is there before submission).
My question: Is it possible to limit - or remove - the checkboxes that the user can select during registration? I realize that this is a browser issue but I doubt I can persuade those guys to fix FireFox.
Thanks. |
I changed the current SVN version (#1909) to show only the list of logbooks if there are ten or less logbooks, in order not to make the URL too long. On the activation by the administrator, the list of subscribed logbooks appears as previously, but all are unchecked. So it's the task of the administrator to enable subscriptions or not. |

I can see a customer becoming confused if they did not see their logbook listed. Just turn off the selection completely.

Thanks!

I agree, that's inconsistent. So I removed the logbook list completely (SVN revision 1914) and added a note on the user notification that they should click 'config' to subscribe to any logbook. |

I get the following error where thumbnails should go: Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation.
I restarted elog and check the log, it does in fact detect ImageMagick and it does have the most recent version. I'm running ubuntu 2.6.24-19-server. Is there something else I should be checking?

Try the following:
- Put logfile = elog.log into your elogd.cfg
- Upload an image to get the error
- Examine your elog.log file
You should get something like:
23-Jul-2008 15:10:38 [] Server listening on port 8080 ..
23-Jul-2008 15:10:52 [stefan@127.0.0.1] {demo} SHELL "convert "logbooks\demo\080723_151052_Capture.png" "logbooks\demo\080723_151052_Capture.png.png""
In your logfile. Now try the "convert" command manually under the same account elogd is running. Possible reasons for problems are:
- The "convert" command is not in your path or links to another program. Unfortunately ImageMagick chose a pretty standard name for this program
- The account under which elogd is running does not have write access to the logbook directory
- converts wants to call ghostscript for PDF conversion, but it is not installed
- ...

Can you email a thread of log entries. I think this would be a very useful function, which would enable the logger in effect to send an entire history of a particular issue to the interested parties.

Well, kind of. If you notify yourself with elog entries, they are grouped in a thread in your email application. From there you can forward the thread to someone. Or you forward the link to one entry in the thread, and if the link is the opened, the interested parties see the whole link. Sending the whole thread inside elog is however not possible. |

Hi Stefan,
Your suggestion of emailing a link for a log entry with which any interested parties open the link are able to see the entire thread works. However, it does not display the additional text which may be added in the text box below the standard field entries. To view this additional text would require the email recipiant to log into the elog account. The only problem with this is the interested parties may not have the priviledges to log into the elog account. Thanks for your time. |

You could implemente guest read-only access to the logbook (like for this forum). |

Hi,
When I upgrade from build 2278 to 2282 the thread view changes when performing searches: The thread children are not indented and there are no "thread icons" in the search list (e.g. like the read right arrow for replies).
On the forum site I also note that the thread view is not indented when performing searches.
Does anyone have an idea ?

This seems to be a bug. I reproduced it with a different browser (Opera) with the default ELOG configuration. When I do Find and select Display Threads I have the message icons but the layout is not correct. Also, all message icons are of the "reply" type even if they are new threads.
This concerns only the latest build 2282.
