Apologies if these are known bugs, I'm very busy at the moment but I wanted to post this before I forget:
I'm using Safari on a Mac to make Elog entries.
1) The preview of some pdf attachments in edit mode displays huge areas of white space around each page. I can send examples if you'd like - please email me directly, for some reason I never get email notifications from this forum (and they aren't being tagged as spam, so I don't know where they go).
2) When that happens, the text entry area for ELcode format expands horizontally to match the huge pdf file width. Text without line feeds then doesn't wrap until the huge window width is filled, so I have to scroll horizontally all the time while editing to see what I've written.
3) So I turned off attachment previewing as a workaround (Preview attachments = 0 ). That worked fine by not expanding the entry area, but I noticed some odd behavior. The list of attachments below the text entry area is badly formatted. Here's a screen shot:
I tried to reproduce this with a new entry but the text was formatted properly for that entry.
P.S. While editing this entry, I see that the text area width is again being set by the width of the picture I've attached - try it yourself; if you try to resize your browser window smaller while editing, the text will only wrap until the width of the attachment is reached - the text no longer wraps at smaller widths than the attachment.

Your problem 1) is probably caused by ImageMagick. I use that package to convert PDFs to images. If this package estimates the paper size from the PDF incorrectly, you're screwed. You can go and actually locate the thumbnail pictures in the ELOG directory (should be named xxxxxx_yyyyyy_<name>-0.png). If you check these pictures, they are probably already huge.
Problem 3) indeed is a small bug in elogd, which I fixed in revision #2178. If you can download the SVN version and recompile elogd, you should be fine:

Thanks for the bug fix, we'll get our installation updated ASAP. And I will look into why some of my pdf file image sizes are interpreted incorrectly by ImageMagick, it might having something to do with how I've generated them.
Is it possible to set the default image size to always scale to fit the browser window? For example, this entry has a png attachment, but it still suffers from the fact that the text window size is set by the width of the png image.
If I'm forgetting something, sorry, I'm writing in a hurry!

 | Dennis Seitz | denseitz@comcast.net | Question | All | 2.7.5 | Config so that users can delete only their own entries? | I've tried
Deny_Delete = All
Allow Delete = $author
and just
Allow Delete = $author
But either users can delete anyone's entries, or they can't delete any entries.
Am I missing something? If not, can you add the capability to allow users to delete, but only their own entries?
Thanks as usual for a great piece of code! |

| Denis Perevalov | denis@fnal.gov | Question | Linux | latest | Enable user to view only, not post/delete. | Hi,
I have just discovered elog and I absolutely love it.
I have a question. Is there a way to enable user to view only, not post/delete in my elog. Also I would like to allow them to view only certain categories of my messages.
Regards,
Denis |

 | Adam | dellzoid@hotmail.com | Question | Linux | 2.7.8 | redirect permission | Hi All,
Perhaps a trivial question but some issues have arisen accessing my long-running elog with SSL enabled. I suspect firewalls and browser updates are involved and I do not have the time or experience to diagnose and debug such a potential black-hole of difficulties. Instead I am looking for a quick fix, and the first step - switching off sll - seems to work. Now I would like to use redirect so that the elog is running under apache, however this is where I have stumbled; I have passwords so the plan is to eventually secure using apache. Apache works fine and is running pages on ports 80 and 443, although I seem unable to redirect the elog (port 8080). Following the instructions on the administrators guide I get:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /elog/ on this server.
The page is found at least so my redirect is doing something, and I suspect the solution is trivial, though I'm not too sure where to start.
-------------------
Also, what is the best practice for updating one's elog version. I originally installed using a tarball.

Still struggling with this issue, if anyone has managed to solve it let me know. I've done the obvious and checked ownership/ permissions of the elog folders and they are exactly the same as etc/var/www, which is working in apache. |

| Matthew Deller | dellzoid@hotmail.com | Question | Linux | 2.9.2 | Unable to resize images in browser | I am unable to resize/ manipulate images in browser. Image Magick detected Version: ImageMagick 6.6.9-7 2012-08-17.
Output when running elog with verbose option shows buffer overflow when resize attempted:
[[Going to execute: /bin/sh -c "identify -format '%wx%h %c' '/home/elog/elog-2.9.2/logbooks/HardwareLog/140218_120423_2014-02-18_remod_(extended_II).png.png'" > /tmp/elog-shell 2>&1
Falling back to default group "elog"
Falling back to default user "elog"
*** buffer overflow detected ***: elogd terminated
Any ideas how to fix this? I'm not sure if this is a problem with the elog / Ubuntu / Image Magick? |

What happens if you execute the command manually, like
$ identify -format '%wx%h %c' '/home/elog/elog-2.9.2/logbooks/HardwareLog/140218_120423_2014-02-18_remod_(extended_II).png.png
The "identify" command just checks the size in pixels of your image and expects something like 800x600. Let me know if this command returns something completely different.

Sorry for very late reply. I recently rebuilt our server. Elog 2-9-2, new machine, new OS (Ubuntu 14.04), new version of ImageMagick (6.7.7-10), but I'm having the same unresolved problem. identify -format from the command line returns 645x860 (as it should). Any ideas?

| David Egolf | degolf@fujicolor.com | Question | Windows | | Database type logbook entry creation | I would like to create a paper waste logbook. I need to have a column that
shows a weight in pounds and another column with a calculation from those
pounds to dollars. pounds x $4.00 = cost I was wondering if this was
possible?
All other fields would be just Date, Batch#, Operator, Reason, Process
Operator, Manager, Lbs, and Cost, I would also like to total this cost if
possible, on a search selected basis. Similar to Excel.
Thanks for any input
