That's a feature

In the summary view, I cannot use any HTML code, since it will screw up the table layout. Therefore elog searches for any "<" and ">" pairs and removes the text in between. In principle one could do a better job, but I do not want to write a complete HTML interpreter just for that purpose. 

I have not heard of that problem before.

The key to fix is to reproduce it, then teach me how to reproduce it. Only errors I can reproduce on my computer I am able to fix.

Best regards,

Stefan

 Well, this is a choice. But if the encoding of the entry is 'plain', you could just avoid checking for embeded HTML. We use the summary view constantly for our main experiment logbook. Thanks anyway.

 Does this occur if you are adding an attachment?  As I am blessed with forever using ancient systems, I've seen fields and indeed text  being cleared  because they were entered between clicking on 'Upload' for an attachment and the .png files being generated and displayed.  Answer here is patience - I use all too much of mine up in this exercise, sadly.

Ok, I fixed that in revision 2442. 

Segfault when password file is empty and not writable a segmentation fault is generated when a new user tries to register:

root#  > passwd


root#  chown root.root passwd


root#  chmod 644 passwd


root#  grep -i usr elogd.cfg


root#


kernel: [515323.672377] elogd[31048]: segfault at 78 ip 00000000004ba780 sp 00007fff03cd2078 error 4 in elogd[400000+dc000]
 

I cannot reproduce this error when running within gdb.

Hi Stefan,

I'm having a problem with 'Preset Text' now behaving differently in the latest release (2.9.1)?
My config file for example has always had: 'Preset Text = This is a test.', previously 'This is a test' was put
verbatim into the text area, now it seems to think whatever follows 'Preset Text =' is always a file and I end
up with 'File <i> This is a test. <i> cannot be found'?

I did notice a 'Print warning if "preset text" file cannot be found' line in the latest release notes, does this
now mean wherever I have used the method above I will now need to make a text file to match?

I'm using them embedded in conditional attributes if that makes any difference?

Thanks for your help.
