Compiling for Windows, posted by Richard Stamper on Wed Aug 19 17:08:56 2015
|
I am interested in using LDAP authentication for elogd on Windows for which it looks like I need to compile from source, enabling LDAP in the make file.
Does anyone have advice on build environments for Windows in which they have had success making elog? Free ones preferably, such as
Cygwin. |

"Resolve host names" does not resolve host names, posted by Daniel Sajdyk on Wed Jul 1 11:05:32 2015
|
Hello
I use Resolve host names = 1 in my config file, but I still get IP instead domain name.
I use elog in internal network with my own DNS. |
Re: "Resolve host names" does not resolve host names, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Aug 4 13:33:14 2015

In elog I simplu use the function gethostbyaddr() to resolve the host name. If this does not work, the underlying OS does not know the hostname either.
Probably you can test this with "nslookup a.b.c.d", to see any further error message.

I'm sorry... it was my mistake. I put Resolve host names in logbook config instead global.
Regards Daniel.

IE 11 - Text Edit Toolbar Not Working, posted by John Krautkramer on Sat Aug 15 00:00:36 2015

Hi,
I've been exploring elog. I find when using IE 11, the text editor formatting buttons don't work with HTML encoding selected. The entire
toolbar is grayed out. It appears to work fine with Chrome. Any ideas or direction to look? elog v3.1.1 is running on RedHat EL5. I've tried the |

This reply has been written with IE 11 using the embedded HTML editor of ELOG. Therefore it is obviously not a problem of ELOG 3.1.1 with IE 11.
It could be a problem with your ELOG installation or it could be a problem with you IE 11 configuration. Can you use the HTML editor of this
forum with IE11? Did you install ELOG 3.1.1 on top of an existing ELOG installation? |

Also make sure you don't have "Compatibility Mode" turned on in IE11.
See here for example: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-enable-compatibility-view-in-internet-explorer-11-ie11/

The issue was IE Compatibility Mode. There were no websites in the list, but the "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" was checked.
Removing this fixed it.
Thanks for the help! |

Isolating search urls, posted by Philip Leung on Wed Aug 12 16:59:30 2015

Hello all,
I am in need of isolating GET-requests referring to long-running, read-only elog functions such as search/filter/sort in our Apache proxy and
redirecting them elsewhere. There does not, however, appear to be any easy way of reliably isolating these functions (with the exception of sort) by only |

Re: Isolating search urls, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Aug 12 17:19:45 2015

I guess the underlying problem is the long time these requests take and block other users.
I have pretty high on my todo list to convert ELOG into a multi-threaded server which would fix this completely. So if you are patient enough
(=months) you might get what you want. |

Thanks for the quick response!
It's great to hear that multi-threading is in the works as this has been my main issue with an otherwise very nice piece of software. I do,
however, feel like we should be able to get my slightly hacky approach to work to hold us over until you finish. |

Is there no good way of differentiating search operations from others by URL?

Look for "&subtext=" in the URL

This only applies to searches which specify that they are searching through the message text though. It would not work for things like quick filter

For any other filter you need "&<attribute>=", which of course requires the knowlede of all attributes. There is no other "standard"
flag in the URL indicating a search.

Problem with elog and Internet Explorer when saving an entry, posted by TorstenJ on Fri Jul 31 13:59:12 2015

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. |

Re: Problem with elog and Internet Explorer when saving an entry, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Aug 4 15:36:48 2015

This issue should have been fixed in the new version 3.1.1. If the problem still persists, try to clear your browser's cache, since it might still
have cached the old JavaScript files having this bug.

Hello Stefan,
thanks for you reply. I tried an ujpdate today to my old installation, but also after cleaning the IE cache, the problem consists. The same result
is, when doing a clean new installation, with the default elog.cfg and and cleaned cache as well an IE that was reseted to defaults. |

Do you have the problem on this Forum as well?
If not, then something is wrong with your installation. Like old JavaScipt files etc. Start with a fresh installation and you should be fine.
If you have the same problem in this Forum, let me know and I will further investigate it. |

ELOG 3.0 plus and MS Windows issues., posted by William Wong on Wed Aug 5 02:59:50 2015

Greetings all. A few ELOG users have posted issues with ELOG 3.0 and newer not working with

I have also encountered a similar problem in my environment. |

I recompiled the executables according to

Thank you for recompiling ELOG. Unfortunately, there is no change in all the test machines
I ran the newly compiled ELOG 3.1.1-1 on. I will use the 2.x version until our systems move
to a new operating system or I can find someone in my IT department who knows how to compile programs |

Minor bug in the emails generated by elog., posted by David Pilgram on Thu Jun 25 16:39:06 2015
|
In the emails generated by anyone making an entry in this log book, every apostrophe is followed by a semi-colon. So the text "I don't
think..." appears in the email as "I don';t think...", and possibly that comment will appear in the email as "I don';;t
think...." - not sure on the last bit. It has been around in the past few versions of elog, but don't recall precisely when this started |

Re: Minor bug in the emails generated by elog., posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Aug 4 13:57:28 2015

Apostrophes are encoded as "'" inside the CKEditor
used by elog, which sents the raw HTML text as email notification. You can test this by pressing the "Source" button at the top left menu in
the CKEditor, then you see it. In my mail program (both Apple Mail and Thunderbird) this HTML enocding is correctly shown as the original apostroph, so |

Hi,
The default email subject line for a new entry is: "New ELOG entry", and the default email subject line for an edited entry is: "Updated

Since there were no responses, I decided to make good use of the fact that the software is thankfully open-sourced. I modified elogd.c and added just
a couple of lines to get what I wanted.
