This issue should have been fixed in the new version 3.1.1. If the problem still persists, try to clear your browser's cache, since it might still have cached the old JavaScript files having this bug.

Hi all,

first off all let me say, that I realy like this great tool. That is a lot of help for keeping our server documentation up-to-date. Thanks to all contributors for that.

I right here, because I actually have an issue with saving entries working with IE11 (but also in IE9). When ever I enter an entry, and click the save button, the page open a page with the text: "OK 1"   or the second attemp: "OK 2"   3rd  "OK 3" and so on (see screenshot). To get back to my Item list, I have to click the back button in the internet explorer. I also opens a lot of draft entries in my databases.  When I submit my entry, I don't have an issue, and the entry is saved correctly.

This issue doesn't happen when using Google Chrome.

Had anyone an simlar issue using elog with IE?  It would be great to have some help with that issue.

Thanks

Torsten

I recompiled the executables according to

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj851139.aspx

and replaces the elog311-1.exe distribution. Can you try if it works? Unfortunately I don't have a XP machine here.

Greetings all.  A few ELOG users have posted issues with ELOG 3.0 and newer not working with a variety of MS Windows operating systems,.
I have also encountered a similar problem in my environment.

For the following operating systems:        
1) Windows XP SP3 (32-bit)           
2) Windows Server 2003 SP 2 (32-bit)
when either elog.exe or elogd.exe are run from command line or file manager, the operating system reports the program is not a Win32 application.

I have other test computers that succesfully ran ELOG 3.0, 3.1 and 3.1.1
1) Windows Vista Enterprise (32-bit)
2) Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) 

Has ELOG 3.x and newer changed in regards to support for MS Windows but is not documented on the
official ELOG documentation?

Any help would be most appreciated.

NOTE: The current production ELOG I use on Windows Server 2003 is 2.92-2475 but I would like to use the

features available on the 3,.x versions.  Unfortunately, I am not able to change my production operating system.

Do you have the problem on this Forum as well?

If not, then something is wrong with your installation. Like old JavaScipt files etc. Start with a fresh installation and you should be fine.

If you have the same problem in this Forum, let me know and I will further investigate it.

Hello Stefan,

thanks for you reply. I tried an ujpdate today to my old installation, but also after cleaning the IE cache, the problem consists. The same result is, when doing a clean new installation, with the default elog.cfg and and cleaned cache as well an IE that was reseted to defaults.  

I am running version v3.1.1 3f311c5 now.      Do you maybe have another idea, to fix that issue.

Thanks

Torsten

I guess the underlying problem is the long time these requests take and block other users.

I have pretty high on my todo list to convert ELOG into a multi-threaded server which would fix this completely. So if you are patient enough (=months) you might get what you want.

Hello all,

I am in need of isolating GET-requests referring to long-running, read-only elog functions such as search/filter/sort in our Apache proxy and redirecting them elsewhere. There does not, however, appear to be any easy way of reliably isolating these functions (with the exception of sort) by only looking at the URL.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Regards,

Philip

That's strange. If you use HTML or ELCode encoding, attachments are automatically hidden if they are used inline. So no "Show attachments = 0" necessary! I just tried that with the demo logbook and here is how it looks:

As you can see, there is no attachment shown in the full view. This is actually handled by the function "is_inline_attachment()" in elogd.c. I don't know if you can do debugging, but somehow this inline test won't work for you and the question is why. Can you try the simple configuration from the demo logbook and see if you still have the problem? Can you show me an example when this does not work. I need to reproduce your problem exactly in order to fix it.

I have "Show attachments = 0" set in [global], but attachments are shown in the "Full" view. Is this the intended behavior? Looking at individual entries correctly hides the attachments. 

We use inline images often, so when an attachement is shown at the bottom of a post it is effectively a duplicate, which clutters things up a bit.

Also make sure you don't have "Compatibility Mode" turned on in IE11.

See here for example: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-enable-compatibility-view-in-internet-explorer-11-ie11/

This reply has been written with IE 11 using the embedded HTML editor of ELOG. Therefore it is obviously not a problem of ELOG 3.1.1 with IE 11.

It could be a problem with your ELOG installation or it could be a problem with you IE 11 configuration. Can you use the HTML editor of this forum with IE11? Did you install ELOG 3.1.1 on top of an existing ELOG installation?

There was a recent post in the forum about IE11 and the HTML editor in the Forum. Did you read it?

Cheers, Andreas

Hi,

I've been exploring elog. I find when using IE 11, the text editor formatting buttons don't work with HTML encoding selected. The entire toolbar is grayed out. It appears to work fine with Chrome. Any ideas or direction to look? elog v3.1.1 is running on RedHat EL5. I've tried the rpm installation, and source code compilation and installation with no change.

Any input would be greatly apriciated!

John

Look for "&subtext=" in the URL

Is there no good way of differentiating search operations from others by URL?

Philip Leung wrote:

Thanks for the quick response!

It's great to hear that multi-threading is in the works as this has been my main issue with an otherwise very nice piece of software. I do, however, feel like we should be able to get my slightly hacky approach to work to hold us over until you finish.

The idea is to run separate ELOG instances in read-only mode dedicated to these types of requests. I've managed to sync up the logbook indexation of each instance so now, unless there's some statefulness to ELOG that I'm forgetting about, I only need to make sure that requests are forwarded to the right instance.
