Dear elog community,

We have a problem with elog V3.1.2-bd75964.
Sometimes entries disappear from the list after editing.

Drafts are message which somebody started to edit, but did not complete, like leaving the page without saving. If you don't like this, you can set
"save drafts = 0".

The locking has a similar background. If you have locking on (vis "Use lock = 1"), then one person can "lock" a message,

Thanks for fast response!

I LIKE locking and saving drafts.
The only problem is that the locked message disappeared from the list.

I also experienced various sproradic issues with locking, so I usually keep it off.

I found a sequence which hides the message from the list.
In addition this sequence corrupts UTF encoding of the text.


create new message
submit it
Edit this message again
click SAVE and then exit the editor (click Logbook

The message is not lost, but becomes a "draft". This works similar in most email systems. When you edit an email and son't send it, it
stays in your "draft" email folder and does not show up in your "sent" folder. Same here. You are suppost to "submit" you
entry, the "save" is just a temporary safety backup. If you do not submit (if you press BACK or your browser crashes), the entry is not submitted

Dear Stefan,

Thanks for quick reply.
I checked List drafts = 1 in config file - it does not show drafts in the list in my case.

You might have to update to the current elog version. This feature was implemented in Dec. 2016.
