Thanks to your stack trace, I found a case where a string might get overwritten, but only if the attachment file name is longer than 256 chars. I fixed the code and made a new RPM:

  https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/r37qx9aka5ytt3j7vn4km/elog-3.1.5-20241213.el8.x86_64.rpm?rlkey=knct99pdltggunrbmyr2hpfe5&st=pkre24aq&dl=0

Alternatively, you can compile from sources. Give it a try.

Thanks Stefen!

I built from source (ELOG V3.1.5-3a5f2f00) and I confirmed as fixed.
 

Hello, I have installed ELOG in an Ubuntu 22.04 machine and is working great, but I have found a small bug with Author names.

I have the config set like this for the Author attribute:

Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

For context, my name is Víctor, which includes the accented "í". When creating a new entry and submitting immediately seems to work well. However, if I create a new entry, save it as draft, go back to the list, and then go to the draft entry, the accented "í" has transformed into "Ã". If I repeat the process, it turns into "ÃÂ", and so on. As I have configured the Author to not be editable, the user cannot fix this manually.

I found a way around this bug by setting

Subst Author = $long_name

Which is okay for us, but might not be for everyone.

In fact I saved this entry as a draft and then on another tab tried to edit it and it wouldn't let me edit because the author name now did not match.

When will the new src be in the standard repos? I'm on ubuntu and 

When will the new source be in the standard download area ? I'm on ubuntu .

It is in the usual download area which is referenced at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html

Not sure if this is a bug or not; if it is not, kindly reclassify the category.

Following is a small example of what I will dub a 3-level, conditional logbook:

This example is hardly complete, but it is sufficient to demonstrate the issue I am running into.  This works until I select from the 2nd level (manufacturer); it won't display the dropdown for the model (I think my show attribute edit is supposed to display that).  Is there a restriction on how many levels of conditional I can have?  If there is, it would be disappointing because I am trying to do something similar to this example.

I hope there is something very simple I can do to correct this, or perhaps a completely different approach that accomplishes the same thing.  I'd like to stick with the multi-level selection process as I have done here.

I am running elog 3.1.5 on Devuan Chimaera (approx. Debian Bullseye, sans systemd) in a Virtualbox VM.

Dear all, 

is there an instruction document how to exacly host the ELOG on a server for example a raspberry pi?

Wishes,
