How long should it taken for new entry with attachments?, posted by An Thai on Tue Jun 19 23:21:52 2007

Hello,
shortly I have a new issue of entry with attachments.
I try to re-produce the problem and find out that elog service needs very long to serve an entry with attachments.
Normally it takes about 3 seconds after the button SUBMIT is clicked to open the confirm page (ca. 20 recipients).
But when an user tries to enter a new entry and attach a file (about 500 Kb or greater) or some files (total of 500 Kb or greater), it takes several minutes and his browser displays "the page can not be opened"
In this time intervall, elog service runs with 100% CPU server recource.
My questions are:
- is there a form to calculate or estimate how long Elog needs to serve an new entry with attachment? (for example: Summary or multiplication of recipients and large of files) It will help to make a comment to warn users.
- Could you please make the SUBMIT button disable after clicked? Because it happens that my users click it many times after enter a new entry with big attachments.
Thank in advance and best regards. |

This can be related you your email server. Attachments are converted into some ASCII form (base64 encoding), which increases their size by 2-3x. Some email servers are slow in receiving multi-MB data. Can you try to switch off the email attachments in the notification with
Email format = 111
This does not send attachments in email, just their names. If your performance gets much better then, it is related to your email server, and I cannot do anything. So just keep it then turned off. |

Hi, I was wondering, how can I insert new items into my drop down menu and have them appear in an alphabetical order? Is there some sort of code I can insert into the config file to do so?
Thanks |

| How can I have my list accept over 500 entries? I tried increasing the elogd.c (max_n_list)file as stated but the compiler gives me errors. Please help |

No, you have to sort them by hand in the config file. |

No way to get so many entries. If you just increase the value and recompile, you will get stack and heap overflows in the program. Why do you need so many entries? Can you explain? Maybe there is another way to achieve this. |

| Thanks for the response. I am trying to use it as a file database, to monitor the status of files(whether they have been removed, ammended etc), currently there are 90 files but I expect the size to grow. |
