Hi,

I have a problem and I do not understand why

my config is

"
{tdl} Show Attributes = De, He, Auteur, Ten, TDL
{tdl} Options TDL = de, fr, gt
{tdl} Extendable Options = TDL
"

I play with {tdl}, i add TDL (toto),

and after that, i open my config:

"{tdl} Show Attributes = De, He, Auteur, Ten, TDL
{tdl} Options TDL = de, fr, gt, toto, toto
{tdl} Extendable Options = TDL
"
And my preview is wrong !!

why 2 * toto thus?

thanks a lot

Bob

Do do this, you have to do the following:

  • Stop both elogd servers on each side
  • Do the rsync
  • Restart the elogd servers

This is necessary because an elogd server does not rescan the database files unless it's restarted. Note that you only can synchronize on a day level. Like if in a single day new entries are made on both sides, you have a conflict. This is not the case if you do the internal elogd synchronization, because this works on an entry level (actually that was the reason why this internal synchronization was invented). So new entries on both sides which were made as the same day will be merged intelligently.

Now we want to have several servers set up (in different institutions), and have them synchronized automatically.


Synchronization works such that the "client" elogd (the one on which the synchronization is started) "emulates" a browser and accesses the other elogd server. Since SSL is not built into elogd, it can only use the http protocol, not https. If you want secure synchronization, the only chance you have is to make a SSH tunnel on which you run the http protocol for synchronization.

Did I tell that it also works with 'ROptions' ??? It does not! I implemented this just now in revision 1788. The fix will be contained in the next release.


Sorry, just checking. Happy
Many thanks Stefan Big grin

Hello,

when I try to set above 112 email addresses in
"Email All = ..."
the Elog service will crash with the error ntdll.dll or memory addresses x0000000.
This problem does not happen when I reduce the number of email addresses.

Have you had the same problem?


I fixed that crash in the current version, but there is actually a limit of 100 email addresses. So anyhow you won't get the 12 ones above 100. I will try to increase that limit in the next version of elog.


Hi Stefan,

I'm also having a problem in the latest version with Elog crashing with multiple email addresses.
I am using 'MOptions' for email list selection using the execute shell script to send a predefined list (ie. the email list is in a text file not in the Elog config).
It seems when the list contains exactly 9 addresses it causes Elog to crash with a failure similar to An's, any less or any more and they are sent fine? Also when certain combinations of multiple list selections are made the Elog process will also crash? I am running the Elog process as an application (ie. not as a service, as per An's workaround) as it's the only way I can get the -x switch to work with Windows, this means the Elog daemon has to be manually restarted. Running WinXP SP2.
Any suggestions?

Thx

If you have
MOptions item = value_1, value_2

you can do a
Tooltip value_1 = text


Thanks Stefan,

When implemented there seems to be a finite number of characters that are visible under a tool tip, is this an OS defined limit or something that can be changed?


ELOG itself has a limit of 256 characters, but that can be changed easily. I found that Mozilla Firefox only showed 70 characters and then three dots ("..."), while Internet Explorer showed all 256 characters, wrapping words if necessary. So it strongly depends on the browser.


Hi Stefan,

Many thanks for implementing this feature, it is very useful and works very well, I can't seem to get the Tooltips to show up using the 'ROptions' (radio buttons) though? Could you check if it is available for this please?

Thx
