Hello,

Recently upgraded to 2.7.3 and I'm seeing html code filling up the reply window. Before I would just see [quote] and [/quote] around the original entry. Did I miss something in the upgrade? Thanks!

One of my shifters just managed to make an anonymous logbook entry even though the Author attribute is required.

still showed the logged in menu, including the link for "New".  The Shifer is on day two, so he did not give any special

notice to seeing Anonymous in the Author field instead of his name.  He did point it out when I came in, and noted that

no warning was given about making an anonymous entry.

 

I tested the same scenario myself.  One cannot preview an anonymous entry (when Author field is a required attribute).

A warning is given.  However, one can submit the anonymous entry, and no warning is given.

 What configuration do you use? I tried to reproduce your problem with a "minimal" configuration like

[demo]
Attributes = Author, Subject
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

When I log out from the second browser tab and click on "New" on the first browser tab, I am shown the login page, not the new entry page. I guess your "menu commands" and "guest menu commands" allow non-logged in users to issue a "New" command. Try removing that.

I get the following error where thumbnails should go: Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation.

I restarted elog and check the log, it does in fact detect ImageMagick and it does have the most recent version. I'm running ubuntu 2.6.24-19-server.  Is there something else I should be checking?

 Try the following:

  • Put logfile = elog.log into your elogd.cfg
  • Upload an image to get the error
  • Examine your elog.log file

You should get something like:

23-Jul-2008 15:10:38 [] Server listening on port 8080 ..

In your logfile. Now try the "convert" command manually under the same account elogd is running. Possible reasons for problems are:

  • The "convert" command is not in your path or links to another program. Unfortunately ImageMagick chose a pretty standard name for this program
  • The account under which elogd is running does not have write access to the logbook directory
  • converts wants to call ghostscript for PDF conversion, but it is not installed
  • ...
