It is possible for normal string attributes: the regular expression pattern "^$" can be used to search for an empty string.
E.g. in this Forum "ELOG Version" is a required attribute, and should never be empty. But if you search for:
you'll find a couple of entries from a time where it apparently wasn't a required attribute.

How to do that ?

Cool, I didn't know that trick myself, thanks for sharing.

Hi Stefan - Do you know is Kerberos is available (compiled) on the Windows installer?

Kerberos support is not compiled into the binary RPM. You have to comile from sources to get that. The reason is that there are different Kerberos libraries around, and different people need different ones.

Hi Jimmy, no Kerberos is not compiled into the Windows installer. You are the first one asking for that under Windows. All other Kerberos users use Linux so far. You have to compile the Windows version yourelf. This is because there are several versions of Kerberos around and people need differnt libraries. Sorry for that.

Absolutely correct! Nice to see compilers getting better and better. I changed the code and committed it.

I was just playing around with gcc6's new feature for warning about misleading indentation (which can often hide real bugs) and I think it found one in elog-3.1.1-1 at src/elogd.c:22538. Here there is an if statement, which looks as though it should be inside a loop, but it isn't. The code is:

      for (i = 0; i < MAX_ATTACHMENTS; i++)
         generate_subdir_name(att_file[i], subdir, sizeof(subdir));
         if (att_file[i][0] && strlen(shell_cmd) + strlen(lbs->data_dir) + strl$
             < sizeof(shell_cmd) + 1)
{
            strcpy(p, "\"");
            strcat(p, lbs->data_dir);
            strlcat(str, subdir, sizeof(str));
            strlcpy(str, att_file[i], sizeof(str));
            str_escape(str, sizeof(str));
            strcat(p, str);
            strcat(p, "\" ");
            p += strlen(p);
         }

and the if statment is accessing the loop variable i but it is actually outside the loop. Presumably, there should be some more curly brackets here. gcc6 gave the warning:

src/elogd.c: In function ‘execute_shell’:
src/elogd.c:22538:10: warning: statement is indented as if it were guarded by... [-Wmisleading-indentation]
          if (att_file[i][0] && strlen(shell_cmd) + strlen(lbs->data_dir) + strlen(subdir) + strlen(att_file[i])
          ^~
src/elogd.c:22536:7: note: ...this ‘for’ clause, but it is not
       for (i = 0; i < MAX_ATTACHMENTS; i++)
       ^~~

From the notification I received, it looks like "2" is a problem with this server.  In the email notification, we would like images to be a link to a URL displaying the full-size image (as they are in v2.9.2).

Thanks,

Devin

However, I experienced unreproducible behavior when creating "new" entries. Sometimes the command specified by "Execute new=" is called, sometimes the one specified by "Execute edit=" is executed. Most of the time it doesn't work as expected. Frown

Do you have an idea how to fix this or can you point me in some direction to further track it down? Thank you!


I'm just guessing, but you could try to disable the "save drafts" feature and see if the behaviour changes:
Save drafts = 0

If that is the case then Stefan will know where to look Wink

No. At least there is no simple method.

You would need to edit the source code and recompile elogd. But the number 256 is used for about 300 times in the source code, you'll have a hard time finding the right one to increase.

Cheers, Andreas

I currently have an Attribute defined in my .cfg file as  "Format <Attribute> = 0, attribname, attribvalue, 120, 500". I've found if I exceed 255 characters elogd.exe fails. Is there a method that will allow me to exceed 255 characters?
