icon5.gif   Buttons missing in ckeditor, posted by Roland Beyer on Thu Oct 11 10:51:17 2018 
Hello everybody,

we had to setup a new server for our elog some time ago because the old one crashed. We are now running version ELOG V3.1.1-0767eb0.

In the previous installation we had these nice buttons for file upload, time stamp and equation editor, which are also available here in the

Have you selected "HTML" encoding (below the main message box). The HTML editor is not activated if you have "plain" text encoding.
Did you try the default elogd.cfg file? If you modified the config file and did a mistake there, the program can for example not properly find all directories.
Also makse sure you did a full install with "make install", not just update the executable.

Dear Stefan,

thanks for your hints. Meanwhile we already solved the problem. I think it was caused by the recovery from a backup version after the server
crash ... and the retirement of the person who did the previous installation.
icon4.gif   Compile issues on Fedora withe current elog source, posted by Allen Tuttle on Tue Sep 11 19:46:40 2018 
Tried compiling on FC27 and 28, both result in binaries but with serious issues; writing data larger than then allowed.
Example output:


make 
gcc -O3 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -W -Wall -Wno-deprecated-declarations

This warning is triggered by the use of the sprintf() funciton, which can write beyond the boundary of the destination string. I replaced it by snprintf(),
which should make the compiler happy. Code is committed. Unfortuantely I have no FC27 here, so if there is still some waring with the current code, please
post the full warning list here.

I would like to try the new code, I don't see it on elog/download/tar/.
Do you keep updates elsewhere like on get or sourceforge?

A quick test suggests I can't just replace sprintf with snprintf.
Original error:

Stefan said "code is commited": that means you can download the latest version from https://bitbucket.org/ritt/elog, as described in https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html,
and then compile it. Clear now?

icon5.gif   Entry size too large for email notification, posted by Jacky Li on Tue May 19 12:27:01 2015 
Hi,

I am doing an inline image that is about 2.2 MB.  When I do a submit, I got the following message:

Error sending Email via <i>"<email server>"</i>: Entry size too large for email notification.
    icon2.gif   Re: Entry size too large for email notification, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Tue May 19 16:34:20 2015 
Hi Jacky,

if I read the source code correctly then the maximum size of a base64 encoded email is hard coded to be 10 MB in elogd.h (recompile
after changing it):

#define MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH 10*1024*1024

But
I think that an 2.2 MB image should easily fit into that.

Wouldn't it make sense for ELog (by default) to still notify, but not send the attachments by e-mail if the size limit is reached?

That's how it is implemented. If you use

Max email attachment size = 1000000

then attachments below 1 MB are sent as attachments, and if the attachment is above 1 MB, then only a link to the attachment in the elog is sent.

icon1.gif   number of entries in Login user list, posted by Janusz Szuba on Wed Jun 13 18:08:06 2018 
Hi, 

could it be possible to increase the limit of entries in Login user list from 100 to somewhat reasonably higher? Like twice or 3 times as
much. Similar limit exist also on Admin user list, which is afair 10, could this also be increased?
    icon2.gif   Re: number of entries in Login user list, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Jun 14 12:37:22 2018 
Hi Janusz,

You can change the following line in elogd.h and recompile:

#define MAX_N_LIST      100
       icon2.gif   Re: number of entries in Login user list, posted by Janusz Szuba on Thu Jun 14 13:07:32 2018 
Thanks, good point, I was not sure that in case of other lists which will be changed as well, there will not be any problems, like overflow, etc. 

Regarding admin list, now I remember, that was the limit to send email notification in case of registration requests. But actually it is not
important right now.
          icon2.gif   Re: number of entries in Login user list, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Jun 14 13:17:33 2018 
Well, many arrays based on MAX_N_LIST are created on the heap memory, and if you exceed that, elogd simply crashes. There are compile options to increase
the stack and heap size, but that depends on the operating system and the compiler. The value of 100 has been proven to work everywhere. If you increase
it, you're on your own.
