If you are using IE as your browser, the problem may be with that rather than the server. By default IE 11 display intranet sites in a "Compatibility mode" which breaks the FCKEditor in Elog version 3.  Fortunately this mode can be disabled, which is what I have had to advise users here to do.

  • Click on the "cogwheel" and select "Compatibility settings" 
  • Deselect "Display intranet sites in Compatibility view"

Sorry for the late reply. I have installed a slightly newer version of Elog, but the results are the same. I do get de the 3 editor bars, but the top 2 are greyed out and the bottom one doesn't do anything if clicked. I have commented out the lines that refer to the online equation editor, but that doesn't help much either. I think I let it rest. The old 2.9.xx version still works great, so we leave it at that.

Thanks anyway for the suggestions

Hi,

After working many years with previous versions of ELOG, I decided to update to the latest version.
I have installed ELOG version 3.1.0 on a WIndows 2012R2 server with IE 1. The editor is showing up, but everything is greyed out, execpt for some items on the bottom row. (Style, Lettertype...) and after I do load a preset text form with different colors, the page remains white. The tables and text in the form is showing up.

The previous version with the older editor was working great on the same server.

Any suggestions?

I know I'm a little late but is there a way to do this from elog? I've tried using the following line in the config but it doesn't seem to work in IE10. I figure if there is a way to modify the <head> before the page loads there could be hope.

Top text = <script>var meta = document.createElement('meta');meta.httpEquiv = "X-UA-Compatible";meta.content = "IE=edge";var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];head.insertBefore(meta, head.firstChild);</script>

Thanks for reporting that problem. Indeed the elog292-1.exe distribution has a bug in the directory structure. I fixed that in elog292-2.exe, which you can download from here:

How do I proceed to have spell check in fck editor under linux / firefox ?

You have to talk to the FCKeditor guys about that. On their website they mention IEspell, but this works only for MS Internet Explorer. On their demo site, I see the spell check icon, but it's greyed out. In this forum, spell checking works for me using Firefox 2.0 under Windows after I installed the Firefox extension "United States English Dictionary" from here. Maybe this works for you also under Linux. There is however one problem: I get wrong words underlined in red, but I cannot get suggestions by clicking at the wrong words. For FCKeditro version 2.6+ however it was announced that there will be a new spell checker, so maybe you have to wait for their update.

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum.

I currently have an attribute which is a list. From this drop down menu, I can only access around 100 options (ELog restriction I think). How can I extend my drop down list to say 200?

Example:

Attributes = RB

Options RB = a, b, c, ...,etc.

The number of 100 options is defined in elogd.c with

#define MAX_N_LIST  100

You could try to increase this to 200, but I have no idea if you will hit some other memory limit then. So what about conditional attributes? You subdivide your list into several smaller lists, like

Attributes = Category, RB
Options Category = Cat1{1}, Cat2{2}
{1}Options RB = a,b,c,d...
{2}Options RB = e,f,g,h,...
this is then also easier to handle, as compared to select a value from a very long list.

Stefan,

Thanks for that advice. I have made that change to the elogd.c file, but the only problem I don't know how to compile Elog to make that change take effect. I did the stop and restart of the elog  service in windows, but that made no difference. How do I compile ELog? Sorry for my ignorance, but I am fairly new to Elog.
