A correction:
the url generated is correct, infact modifing by hand the names of the files and
the "Attachment:" entry in the .log all works fine

the same problem happens if the filename is, for example foo.JPG and not foo.jpg :
http://arcolog.roma2.infn.it:8080/ARCO/050221_171508/Graph3.JPG
loops forever

http://arcolog.roma2.infn.it:8080/ARCO/050221_171508/Graph3.jpg
works correctly


so, elog does not like spaces in filename and/or uppercase extensions. the
solution is, IMHO, to sanify the uploaded filename at uploading time :-)

display is enabled elog builds a wrong url to the image:

The more annoing thing is that elogs hangs on this. a strace shows a select
on fd n°3 and 5 that loops forever (returning a timeout error):

send(4, "<141>Mar 23 11:36:25 elogd[22189"..., 35, 0) = 35

May be the better solution is, after fixing the bug for backward
compatibility with already uploaded images, to implement a forced characters
substitution at upload time, replacing spaces and every character not in a
"allowed chars" list with an underscore

It seems to work nice to me.
Just another suggestion: I think it would be better to insert a commented out
example for all allowed parameters in the distributed  /etc/default/elog

nice work :-)
  1002   Wed Mar 23 05:56:35 2005 Warning Recai Oktasroktas@omu.edu.trInfoLinux New Debian package (2.5.8+r1592) -- needs testing
Hi to all,

I've prepared a new Debian package.  This version will probably be the one
which you'll find in Sarge/stable.

There are some invasive changes in this version which call for a serious
test.  In accordance with a suggestion, I've changed the configuration
mechanism.  For details, please read the NEWS.Debian file attached.

Could the Debian users who follow this forum test it and give some feedback?
You can download the package from the following link:

  http://l10n-turkish.alioth.debian.org/debian/elog_2.5.8+r1592-1_i386.deb

Thanks in advance for your participation,
Attachment 1: NEWS.Debian
elog (2.5.7+r1589-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Starting from this version, /etc/default/elog is installed as part
    of the package.  Following variables (with default values) can
    be used in /etc/default/elog:

      # Host where elogd will run.
      # HOST=localhost

      # Be verbose.
      # VERBOSE=yes

      # Port where elogd will run.
      PORT=8080

      # Logbook root directory.
      LOGBOOKDIR=/var/lib/elog

      # Resource directory (i.e. themes, icons).
      RESOURCEDIR=/usr/share/elog

    These variables will become the command line options of elogd.
    Since command line options always supersede the corresponding
    options in config file, the existence of such a file provides a
    way to discriminate two roles: System admin (root) and Elog admin.
    Elog config file (/etc/elog.conf) now represents the Elog admin's
    settings, while /etc/default/elog corresponds to the system admin's
    settings.  For example, if system admin defines the following line,
    the Elog admin's port setting in config file will be ignored and
    ELOG will always listen port '80' (note that the compiled-in
    default port is '8080'):

      PORT=80

    One can also change the logbook repository location by using the
    same mechanism, e.g. to set the data directory as '/srv/elog' (as
    suggested in FHS v2.3) use the following line:

      LOGBOOKDIR=/srv/elog

    Maintainer scripts should gracefully handle this transition.  But
    please note that those system admin's settings listed above should
    not be used in elog.conf, even though Elog allows it.

Stefan,

Oh. OK. I will keep tuned. It would be quite useful to have.

Date is "date", and not "date-time" unfortunately. There is no way right now to
enter a time. I plan however to add a new format "datetime", which allows that
option. So stay tuned.

Intersting question (meaning: I don't have an answer... (;-) )

The class which applies there is "attribvalue". You can increase the padding for
that class, but that only increases the space between all options and the cell
border, but not between them. I could put each MOption in a separate cell of a
subtable. Then one could increase the padding between them, but the layout would
be fixed, meaning that they are always left-to-right. As you can see in this
forum, the MOptions nicely place below each other if the screen is too narrow.
This functionality would be lost.

Maybe someone else has a clever solution?

I would like to increase the spacing between 'MOptions' choices. I have
created a new theme and have been playing with the CSS stylesheet. But can't
find how to increase this spacing. Having lots of fun otherwise!
