Hello!

First of all, thank you for this great piece of software! For now it seems to perfectly cover our need to log very basic events, there was a setting for everything we wanted to set.

However we have one problem and that is the saving of the letter "č" (Slovenian) into the log files. That is unicode character U+010C and U+010CD https://unicode-table.com/en/010C/. When writing to the log file it is replaced with "Č" and "č". Is there a known fix for this?

Thank you and best regards,

Matej

My elog is named "Whatever Elog" so the URL generated is /Whatever+Elog . This works fine but when in the interface certain buttons generate this URL : /Whatever%20Elog  ...this URL fails.  It seems that elog does not recognize these ( + and %20 ) as the same which I believe they should be as part of HTTP request.

  1991   Mon Oct 16 16:20:06 2006 Question Dimitrios Tsirigkasdimitrios.tsirigkas@cern.chQuestion  Problem with large entry size
Hi Stefan,

I have posted an entry of approximately a thousand lines (ten thousand words). Posting it took some time, which is logical to a certain degree. However, whenever a user asks for "Full" view of the logbook, the page takes around two minutes to load and the CPU usage on the elog server goes to beyond 90% for all this time. Is this to be expected for an entry of that size or is there something going wrong here?

Thanks,
Dimitris
  113   Fri Aug 16 10:14:19 2002 Warning Stefan Siegelssiegel@lucent.comBug report  Problem with konqueror and pulldown menu (in config menu)
Hi ,

currently I am running Elog 2.1.1; when using a konqueror browser (ver. 
2.2.1, kde 2.2.1) the admin user cannot access in the Config menu the Login 
infos for other users except himself. The pulldown menu "Select user" is 
shown, but when the admin selects another user the info fields (Login name, 
full name, email) are not updated. They still show the attribute values for 
the admin user himself.

Is there a solution available?
Thanks (also for this very useful tool) and regards,

Stefan
  67746   Mon Jan 12 23:26:18 2015 Question Eric Quinteroericq@caltech.eduBug reportMac OSX3.0.0Problem with embedded Iframes

We've upgraded our ELOG installation to v3, and we really like the new CKeditor. However, one of my users has noticed a problem when using Iframe HTML elements with CKeditor; namely that the HTML is not present when trying to edit the post, and saving the post erases the HTML. 
I was able to reproduce this fairly simply, by trying to embed a youtube video. I would create a new post, click the "Source" view in CKeditor, and paste something like the following:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RzZgFKoIfQI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Upon submission, this produces a totally normal .log file in the logbook directory, and the video is viewable on the ELOG page:

Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2014 15:52:20 -0800
Author: test
Type: General
Category: General
Subject: test
Attachment:
Encoding: HTML
========================================
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RzZgFKoIfQI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


Then, upon hitting "Edit," I am greeted by a totally empty CKeditor window, and hitting "Source" does not display the original HTML. 
Any help is greatly appreciated!

PS: Including the first line of the logfile in this very post would cause the submitted post to be truncated for some reason, although the preview looked fine. Pasting it here also caused the log to end abruptly. The string is "(dollar sign)(at symbol)MID(at symbol)(dollar sign): 9"

  68830   Tue Aug 7 10:53:45 2018 Warning Andreas Luedekeandreas.luedeke@psi.chInfoLinuxelog-3.1.3Problem with eloglang.german_UTF8

I had a problem with restarting ELOG since about a year, and finally I found the culprit. I just want to share it here, to prevent anyone else to make the same mistake,

Apparently the files resources/eloglang.* are rather sensitive to the syntax. But it doesn't tell you: no warning or error message comes up.
The file eloglang.german_UTF8 contains some "missing translations" at the end - and it looks like they produce some problems.
If you don't follow the instructions to create eloglang.german_UTF8 from eloglang.german, but use the file as it is, then the language handling will be corrupted:
some (very few) language strings will point into some void and display garbage strings.
In very rare cases this will even crash "elogd", in all other cases it will confuse your users.
Sometimes ELOG commands like "?Cmd=New" were affected, which makes ELOG unusable.
What made it very hard to debug was the fact that with every restart a different string was affected.
Everything looked fine, and later you see a string in the configuration page is wrong. Restarting fixed that string, but then some other string is gone.
 
So if you see such a behaviour, check your language file for "unusual syntax".
I haven't checked if the problem is limited to UTF8 - I only saw the problem with the eloglang.german_UTF8 file.
 
Cheers, Andreas
  68062   Fri Jul 31 13:59:12 2015 Entry TorstenJtorsten.jakob@jet-services.comQuestionWindows v3.1.0.3Problem with elog and Internet Explorer when saving an entry

Hi all,

first off all let me say, that I realy like this great tool. That is a lot of help for keeping our server documentation up-to-date. Thanks to all contributors for that.

I right here, because I actually have an issue with saving entries working with IE11 (but also in IE9). When ever I enter an entry, and click the save button, the page open a page with the text: "OK 1"   or the second attemp: "OK 2"   3rd  "OK 3" and so on (see screenshot). To get back to my Item list, I have to click the back button in the internet explorer. I also opens a lot of draft entries in my databases.  When I submit my entry, I don't have an issue, and the entry is saved correctly.

This issue doesn't happen when using Google Chrome.

Had anyone an simlar issue using elog with IE?  It would be great to have some help with that issue.

Thanks

Torsten
