Suppress email on edit has been implemented in the current SVN revision just similar to the Suppress default flag having possible values of 0, 1, 2 and 3.

Hi,

It would be good if when you uploaded an image as an attachment, there was a button next to it that pasted the code
[img]elog:1972/1[/img]
into the log entry. This way, it would be more easy to have inline images in a log entry.

cheers

Just hit that button:


and it does exactly what you want.

Works like a champ! Thanks
  2023   Fri Oct 27 19:11:32 2006 Warning Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comBug reportAll2.6.2-1723Interesting behavior with $shell
eLog does not do math so I am trying to leverage the $SHELL function to perform the math. I am using GAWK to perform the math -- I started trying to use CONDITIONAL ATTRIBUTES to assign numeric values to attributes but with loading up the ATTRIBUTES with all of the options brings elog to its knees in terms of performance -- the parsing of attributes is simply too string intensive.

So, I embedded the numeric score in the OPTIONS of the ATTRIBUTE and leveraged the text processing prowess of GAWK:
Options WhoIsEffected =   1:...Single User, 5:...Project, 10:...Department, 50:...Site
Options ServiceOutage =   1:...0-1 Minutes, 2:...10 Minutes, 10:...20 Minutes, 30:...30 Minutes, 100:...gt60 

Then pass the following command to GAWK:
Preset TotalScore = $shell(gawk 'BEGIN{split(\"$WhoIsEffected:$ServiceOutage\",scores,\":\");print scores[1]+scores[3]}' )

The interesting result is this works - the proper summation is returned but apparently elog parsing also returns everything after the first ')' as something that also needs to be returned. So the resulting contents of TotalScore is
2;print scores[1]+scores[3]}' ) 
assuming one chose the first option of both attributes (the output pasted here are real results).

Before getting to this point I tried using the GAWK internal variable of $0 - but this did not work because apparently $0 in elog is defined as the OS shell!

Stefan, is it possible for you to try creating a logbook on the elog demo site that shows people how to perform math and in the process discover what the $SHELL function is doing?

So, in order to quickly get around the problem I did the following:
Preset TotalScore = $shell(echo \"$WhoIsEffected:$ServiceOutage\" | gawk -f <gawkscript>' )

This works since all of the script logic is contained in an external script but removes the logic from the elog config, so if anything changes one has to remember to change the script (which is in a comment).

Dear ELOG users,

a denial of service vulnerability has been reported which affects all elog versions prior to 2.6.2-7. With a special request one can crash the elogd server, given that one has access either through a public read access or through an account. This vulnerability has been fixed in version 2.6.2-7. It is advised that all sensitive installations of ELOG are being updated.
