  1765   Thu Mar 9 04:46:42 2006 Warning Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comBug reportAll2.6.1-1671Removing 'New' from "List Menu commands" prevents saving elogd.cfg
Strange as it mmay seem, when I attempt to remove the "New" menu item from "List Menu commands" in a logbook section, I am no longer able to Save the config file -- I am presented with a message saying "Error: Command "Save" not allowed". I have to manually edit the file, add that menu item back in, and then all is ok. This is on the system where I am using 'Top Groups', so the logbook is a part of one of the top groups.
  1766   Thu Mar 9 06:04:46 2006 Question Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comBug reportAll2.6.1-1671Strange "bug?" report - disappearing data when attribute is "Locked"

Steve Jones wrote:
I have come across an issue where an attribute value is "blanked" upon either editing or replying. The interesting thing is this is a logbook entry that was "Moved" from one logbook to another, all under the same Top Group. All configs are done under the [global <topgroup>] so the attribute is not being reset on purpose. Most interesting of all is this only happens:

  • if the attribute is "locked" (the logbook being moved "To" locks most attributes)
  • if the attribute is of type "date"
  • if the logbook entry had been "moved" from another logbook


If the logbook entry is subsequently moved back, all works as it should - even the locked date attributes.
temporary workaround is to "unlock" the date attributes - which really messes with things if people decide to change the dates.

Stefan, I have previously reported that elog crashes with a specific URL -- I have now re-created the crash running under WindowsXP Pro using the pre-packaged Windows installation that I just downloaded. I am attaching screenshots, etc. for your information but I think the source of the problem stems from using "Top Group". I hope that you are able to look into this as I have logged other issues that i believe are specifically related to the use of the Top Group feature. I am also including the .cfg that I used on my Windows box which is the same .cfg that I use in our Solaris environment.

Steve,

again I could not reproduce your problem. See the attached screenshots. It just works fine with me (of course I miss the HTML files for the header and footer). I use however the most recent version of elog (Revision 1675). I also have a different password file. So try the following:

- look into your password file (it's a simple XML text file), it should contain something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

- make sure that you have the most recent version of elogd. Try at least elog261-3.exe under Windows.

- are you sure you need top groups? Top groups are ment for groups of logbooks which are completele unrelated, like from different departments, with different admins etc. Historically top groups were implemented because some elog installations had several elogd servers running in parallel for different departments. In you case, I suspect that "normal" groups might be enough, like:
Group Engineering Compute Change Logs = TX11-CL, TX30-CL, TX32-CL, AZ34-CL, AZ50-CL, FL29-CL, IL108-CL, IL05-CL, Approvals-CL, Template-CL
Group Engineering Compute Incident Logs =  TX11-IL, TX30-IL, TX32-IL, AZ34-IL, AZ50-IL, FL29-IL, IL108-IL, IL05-IL, Template-IL

Aacck! I thought sure that this would do it for you. Ok, to answer your last question first:
1> I am reasonably sure that I need top groups. The logbooks with the -CL extension have a common attribute structure. The logbooks with the -IL extension have a common attribute structure. Neither group is the same. Prior to using Top Group I was using a global config for the -CL's but manually maintaining consistent -IL configs was horrible. Top Group solved my problem: maintaining only two config "areas" as opposed to many is very efficient. Do you have another way of doing this other than running two instances of eLog?

Ok, I completed stripped any attributes and only defined top groups. eLog no longer crashes but returns a completely invalid page with invalid links when I attempt to create a new logbook - see screenshot below. This is good as it means something in the config was causing things to blowup. I have also attached my stripped out config.

Incidently, I added another screenshot - an invalid link when I *delete* a logbook gets returned "http://localhost:8080/Test4-CL/Engineering%20Compute%20Change%20Logs/". Definitely not a correct URL.
