Have you tried 2.6.1. I released it just recently, so I don't know when it will be available for Debian. Have you
checked that your "URL = xxx" statement in the config file is correct? I see above "myelog", while the proxy
passes requests to "elog".

No it doesn't work with 2.6.1. I hoped it would be fixed, but I should have reported it sooner.
I compiled 2.6.1 myself.
The original version was a debian package, after that, we compile elog ourselves and copy elogd manually over the old
version. Just to stay up-to-date.

> Have you checked that your "URL = xxx" statement in the config file is correct? I see above "myelog", while the

I changed our urls, just to be safe.
myelog is a 'sublogbook', like forum here. http://elog.oursite.com/elog/myelog

We are running V2.6.0-beta2 and it runs fine, without any alterations to our config files.
All previous versions runned fine too.

update:
After further testing on a different server, it seems to be an issue with the proxy and the proxy_http modules in sarge.
after loading and unloading  proxy_http this is the error:
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

The duplicate command duplicates the entry text itself, but it does not duplicate attachments. If attachments in a duplicated entry are deleted, the original attachment files are deleted as well and cannot be accessed anymore within the original entry.

My suggestion is to copy the attached files too and to use file names of the copies in the duplicated entry.


I chaned it such that attachments are removed from the duplicated entry, which was easier to implement. I hope this is ok as well. The change is in SVN revision 1584.


Yes, that's ok for me.
Thank you very much Stefan.

icon3.gif   Suggestion additional ElCodes, posted by T. Ribbrock on Tue Jan 24 14:43:19 2006 
I have to say, now that I'm finally on 2.6.x, I grew really fond of the ElCode stuff - great addition! It saves a lot of straight HTML typing for me... THANKS!

However, there are two things I'm missing:
  • Headings
    It would be great to have a range of

    ,

    , ... tags that map directly to their HTML counterparts (and have buttons, of course... Big grin ). That makes structuring an entry much easier in my opinion (and the output is easier to deal with for tools like html2ps) and I'm really missing those.
  • Tables
    This one is probably more difficult to add, but support for simple tables would be enough. But this is more a "nice to have"...

Yes, I missed tables myself already. The headings I just put into the current SVN version (see this forum for how it works). Tables are a bit harder to implement and will come later. Do you have a proposal for a possible syntax? A 1:1 relation to HTML would look like this:

[tr][th]heading1[/th][th]heading2[/th][/tr] [tr][td]data1[/td][td]data2[/td][/tr]


But that does not look very sexy to me. Maybe somehting like

heading 1 heading 2 heading 3
data 1 data 2 data 3


this looks a bit like the "pipe" mode from a Wiki

what do you think?

Very nice, thanks! I'm a bit torn as to whether I like the way I have to enter the level by keyboard or whether I'd rather see something like with the smileys (i.e. some "level menu" opens once "H" is pressed). The former is faster, while the latter doesn't require moving between the mouse and the keyboard. But that's just a detail - not really that important.

Yup, I remember using that kind of "pipe" structure in Wikis and I actually liked it. I think it's a lot easier to read in the "source" as well - and it reminds me remotely of LaTeX... Wink Also, it doesn't require much to just type it out instead of using buttons to make the cells. Definitely good enough for the simple type of tables I had in mind!

Hi,

-> Anybody click on "Forgot password?" in the login screen, to have the system
send him the forgotten password, and after a little while trying, (possibly doing
resolution) the ELOG application crashes.

I think I have the same problem with the Linux version (2.6.0). Is there going to be a fix for that version as well?

Cheers,
Dimitris

A fix is always for all versions, since I have a common code base. Have you tried Version 2.6.1?
