  66585   Mon Nov 9 11:50:05 2009 Entry Eddy Berendseddy.berends@stratosglobal.comBug reportLinux2.7.7Reply on item not allowed moving item to other logbook

After I moved an item from one logbook to another one I cannot reply on this item anymore.

When the submit button is clicked it returns: Submit not allowed

This eLog server running Linux is sync'd with an server running Windows XP.

On the windows server the funcionality is working perfect(so no Submit is not allowed on a reply)

We are trying to track down an issue where elogd just stops, and I cannot seem to find a cause.

 

In the logs, I see:
Dec  3 14:01:23 nissrv18a kernel: [419738.139675] elogd[32003]: segfault at 4 ip 00007f183b19b560 sp 00007fff79f5e278 error 4
in libc-2.10.1.so[7f183b119000+166000]
 

Any thoughts?

Hello,
   I feel that the filter result could be confusing and unexpected when "COLLAPSE TO LAST" is enabled: you 
filter the first entry but you show the last one. What is filtered doesn't correspond with what is shown (look 
the attached example). 

I suggest to implement an option to let the user decide which entry (first or last) should be retrieved for 
filtering (a tentative patch is attached).

Thank you 

    Gabriele

P.S. A similar behaviour occurs when you sort the logbook: it could appear as not sorted because you sort the 
first entry but the last one is shown.
Attachment 1: example.txt
Example:

Consider the Status attribute to define the progress of a task:

Attributes     =  Author, Task, Status
Options Status =  Start, Step1, Step2, End
Thread Display =  Task, Status

and logbook with three thread arranged like this:

|-- Task0, Start
|   |-- Task0, Step1
|   |-- Task0, Step2
|
|-- Task1, Start
|   |-- Task1, Step1
|
|-- Task2, Start


It is collapsed to:

+-- Task0, Step2
+-- Task1, Step1
|-- Task2, Start

Now, if you filter the Status using the "Start" value, you obtain again:

+-- Task0, Step2
+-- Task1, Step1
|-- Task2, Start

In my opinion, this is a bit confusing.

Using Step1 or Step2 values, nothing is selected (also confusing).

 If you have a logbook and you create a new entry, is it possible to put a time limit on that new entry so that edits/replies are only valid for certain amount of time.  I am looking for a way that would allow me to have a user start a new message, but after 8 hours, that message becomes locked and no one can edit or add to the message.  This is for some shift work and we do not want users to go back after their shift and edit the messages.  

  66736   Wed Mar 10 10:36:02 2010 Entry Mirza Ehsanmirza@cpjeddah.comBug reportWindows2.6.1-1681eLog crash

I am using eLog ELOG V2.6.1-1681 which has 7 log books under 8 categories. Out of 7 log books, 2 are daily used. It happened that two weeks back. I modified information on two log books which were not used for quite longtime. Hence using CONFIG, I updated these log books, changing text etc. After that eLog in general started giving error. Any time when we click SUBMIT button in any log book, eLog shows page not found. That submit crashes eLog and as a result elogd service stops. Restarting elogd service, eLog operation comes back and the log which I submitted was actualy saved. Difficulty is that this problem is happening with every single submit action. 

I searched forum and learnt that upgrading eLog to newest version 2.7.8 will solve this problem. Upgrade created more problems, I was not able to open any log, authentication was not accepted. I restored that backup and went back to previous version. eLog started working but with submit error.

If any one can help me in fixing this problem

  66745   Fri Mar 12 08:18:06 2010 Entry Cliff Shawcliff.shaw@stratosglobal.comBug reportMac OSX2.7.8 Elogd crashes when closing more than ten entries

Hi Stefan,

I have noticed a problem when closing multiple log entries i.e entries which have more than 10 threads. I use Select -> Click the box that appears next to the thread I wish to close -> Edit.

As soon as I click on Edit the elogd service crashes and Windows displays an error message window. The only work around has been opening up all the threads and individually changing the "Status" to Closed. 

Forgive me if this issue has been raised before but I have looked throughout the Forum and could not see anyone experiencing the same problem.

Thanks

Cliff

  66778   Mon Mar 29 06:05:08 2010 Entry Alan Grantnetman311@mts.netQuestionWindows2.7.8Active Directory authentication

Found a thread from 2004 ("External authentication") asking about the possibility of tying that in with ELog and answer was "Not yet". With time past, any chance this is now possible? I didn't see any more info on that since. 

I'd like to explore using AD to set up/manage groups for ELog authentication. Alternatively, is there currently another way with ELog to manage groups?

Regards.
