Hi Stefan,

That's what I attempted to do, but the need to restart ELOG before I could get to the gdb console prevented us from obtaining a stack trace.  I am now setting up a test ELOG server where we will continue 
trying to reproduce our crashes and obtain a stack trace.

This has now been done and installed on our production server.  I will let you know if we have any more crashes with ImageMagick disabled.

Many thanks,

When locks are enabled, users should see a pop-up window asking them to submit an entry if they edit an entry but then go away from that page or 
close the browser without submitting the changes.  However, it only appears as though this works when using the plain or ELCode editors.  When 
using the HTML editor, no such pop-up appears.

If possible, a fix for this would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Devin

The latest release (2.8.0-2313) does fix this problem.  Our user is now able to modify entries and upload attachments using their satellite connection.

Thank you very much for your time and help.  I am sorry I didn't receive this in time to help test the old SVN version.

Sincerely,
Devin
  69076   Thu Dec 19 16:28:06 2019 Warning Devin Bougiedab66@cornell.eduBug reportLinux | Windows | Mac OSX | All | Other3.1.4text wrapping broken in firefox
When creating new logbook entries, recent versions of firefox somehow ignore the message width setting.

For example, configure a logbook with:
Message Width = 76
Message Height = 20

Then, create a new plain text entry that contains very long lines.  The text entry box is the correct size, but once you hit submit and view the full display of the message, it is not wrapped properly.  The summary display is wrapped properly, but not the full display.

We've only found this to be a problem with recent versions of firefox.  Chromium, Safari, and old versions of firefox behave properly.

As an example, I created this same entry in the demo logbook using Safari.  As you can see there, the message is wrapped at the width that I set the text entry box.

We are running elog perfectly on a solaris machine for some time now.
Except on some client pc's the login screen keeps reappearing after a succesfull login.
We upgraded to version 2.6.0 beta 4 but the problem persists.
Any suggestions?

Do you have cookies disabled on these client pc's maybe?


No, cookies are enabled.

Can you
  • Delete all cookies on the client machine and try again
  • If the problem persists: Tell you how you access your elogd. Do you use Apache as proxy? Which URL statement do you have in your elogd.cfg? What are the URLs shown in the address bar of your browser?
  • Can you start elogd with the "-v" flag, and send me the output shown during an unsuccessful login
