I attempted to remove the text editor (like you did in "Demo of database-like elog") using  "Show text = 0".

In both your Demo and my logbook when you hit  "New"  - Explorer generates the folowing error message

        Error: The Textarea with id or name set to "text" was not found.

Is there a solution or do we just live with it.

Thanks,    Mike

 

Thanks for reporting that bug. I fixed it in SVN revision 2188, and the fix will be contained in the next release. 

 I am getting the same message in the current version (V2.8.0-2312), if the "Preset text"  text body contains the equal sign '='. Then this message pops up and the HTML-editor dosn't show its menu bars, with the elog- or plain text editor this does not happen. It happens as well with firefox as with internet explorer.

 

best regards

Robert

Will elog defer user identification and authorization to the ssl engine of a *local* Apache proxy?  I'd like to try elog in a site that requires the service port positively authenticate and identify users via smartcard certificate ID.  Per SOP they have Apache+mod_ssl setting SSLUserName=SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN which sets both the SSL request object's "user" field and the REMOTE_USER environment var relative to the mod_ssl's session's process group leader.  Users auth with Apache's mod_ssl as a single-signon replacement for web apps which have traditional native, internal user accounts/passwords, but those passwords are subsumed by the Apache/smartcard/mod_ssl setup.  The web apps define internal accounts matching the users' cert IDs but do not allow any management of the [unused] passwords.  Can elog do this?

  66880   Thu Aug 19 22:58:45 2010 Question Dennis Seitzdseitz@berkeley.eduBug reportAll2.7.8Elog v2.7.8 does not show substituted attributes while editing or replying

 Since we updated to 2.7.8 we've found a problem.

Previously, when we used 

Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject

The new "Re: " text would appear in the "subject" field while the user was editing their reply, and they could edit or delete it.
 
Since 2.7.8, however, it does not appear while editing, but shows up only after the user submits their entry. We would prefer that this appears while the user is editing, because in some cases we want the users to have the option to modify this text. Was this intentional? Is there a way to restore the previous functionality?
 
Thank you!
  66879   Thu Aug 19 15:26:35 2010 Warning Mike Zubermdz0739@yahoo.comBug reportWindows2.8Elogd service crashes on "reply" with percent character in subject line

My logbook kept crashing whenever I tried to reply to an existing entry. I found that the percent sign "%", when used in the subject line, will crash the elogd service when you try to reply to the entry. This appears to only happen with windows installations. I tested this on your Linux logbook and it didn't crash.

Here is the message taken from the Windows event viewer after the crash:
An unhandled win32 exception occurred in elogd.exe [5224].

Thank you for Elog, you have done a good job with it.  It is a great logbook.

Mike

I just typed a long text into this elog, clicked "submit" and it bombed with "you must select an Icon", returned me to the editor with all my text gone gone gone. I do not want to select icons, I just want to report a problem with elog. Well, 2 problems, now.

K.O.

 

Well, first RTFM: "Fields marked with a * are required" on top of the elog entry page. Then, use a reasonable browser on a reasonable OS  

On Google Chrome the text is still there (actually I just tried it with this entry). No idea what Safari under OSX does. Under Windows, Safari keeps the text. Actually this is controlled by the FCKEditor inside elog which is written by someone else. So complain there! Funny: We have about 1000+ entries in this forum, and you are the first one complaining about this.

Kontantin Olchanski wrote:

Hi, I rsync an elog database from CERN to TRIUMF every few months and I notice that rsync keeps copying preview files (xxx.png.png, xxx.gif.png, etc) from very old entries. I guess that elogd creates these files from scratch each time they are needed, overwriting any previously existing preview files. This creates extra rsync network traffic and rsync takes longer to complete. Is there any way to avoid this? K.O.

 

Actually the thumbnail files are only created if they are not there. This is done in the function crate_thumbnail():

   i = get_thumb_name(file_name, str, sizeof(str), 0);

   if (i)

      return i;

So if these files are recreated always, something must be wrong there. Or you sysadmin runs a cron job which deletes them every evening
