icon1.gif   Bug: "Append on edit" triggers too often, posted by Faith on Tue May 4 14:45:47 2021 

The command "Append on edit = " is getting executed everytime, when a dropdown menu is changed. This happens even at the first creation of an entry, so the append text stucks up multiple times in the text body.

icon3.gif   Bug with Drafts and Language German, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Aug 21 11:45:06 2017 elog_lang_pending_draft_bug.png

Hi Stefan,

when one creates a new entry, and a draft entry exists for the logbook, then a menu appears (see attachment).
If one select "Neuen Eintrag anlegen" then it should ignore the draft and create a new entry.
This feat is done by adding a "&ignore=1" to the "new" command: "<URL>/?cmd=New&ignore=1".
The problem is, that it should not be "cmd=New&..." but "cmd=Neu", since the commands are part of the translation.
Due to this, no new entry can be created as long as a draft exists; at least not in any language other than english.
This problem apparently existed since the beginning of drafts, but it only created problems at our site recently.
Kind Regards
Andreas

PS: Here's a patch that works:

diff  elogd.c elogd.c-orig
9575,9576c9575,9576
<    rsprintf("<input type=button value=\"%s\" onClick=\"window.location.href='?cmd=%s&ignore=1';\">\n", loc("Create new entry"),
<             loc("New"));

>             "?cmd=New&ignore=1");
icon5.gif   Bug report. "Submit" button misbehave, posted by Andrey on Tue Sep 22 18:54:04 2020 

Hi. 

I am an IT guy of the AMS collaboration at CERN. We have been using your wonderful elog software for about 10 years now. Thanks! It served us so well that I guess we never got in touch with you. 

Recently we have upgraded it (probably for the first time in years) up to the version ELOG V3.1.4-4936b76.

Since then, we have a particular problem. And finally, I managed to reproduce it.

So, when I edit a record and click the "Submit" button it goes back to the summary view (as usual, as before) but it does not really save the entry. And it shows that the record is still being edited. I can actually click "back" in the browser and not to lose the modifications (otherwise, if I try to edit and steal the lock, it's lost). 

I will try to figure out where the problem is coming from. The most verbose mode of the elog server I've found is just GET-POST lines, not helpful. Is there a debug mode? 

Also, we ran httpd configured with the elogd as a virtual host (proxy).

Any help is very appreciated. 

Cheers, 

Andrey

 

    icon3.gif   Bug Report with CSS includes (was Re: How to format a column in list display?), posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Jun 14 17:25:02 2021 

Okay, found some solution for my problem:

List Change Pikett = <div class="pikett">$Pikett</div>
CSS=pikett.css

And file themes/default/pikett.css contains:

.pikett {
  background-color:white;
  font-size:16px;
  font-family:monospace;
  text-align:left;
}

That works like a charm - until I log in to the logbook. Then the include of the CSS in the header is garbled with some "prefix" of random chars:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="elog.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="`=T ýpikett.css">

And a quick check in the source code shows some bad code:

L7615: function "show_html_header"

         rsprintf("<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"%s%s\">\n", css_base, css);

Here css_base is a not initialized local variable of the function. In fact the above line is the only reference of that variable char css_base[1000].

The bug is still present in elog-3.1.4-611489b

There is the nice conditional formatting feature for List display:
Cell Style <attribute> <value> = <style>
I would like to use it without conditions: some attributes should always be formatted in a specific way.
 
Specifically I want a generated attribute (combined from other attributes) to be display in monospace font.
The "Format Pikett = 0, attribname, messagelist" works nicely for the single entry display (pik1), but not for List view (pik-list).

Would it be possible to create a new command "List format <attribute> = <css_class_name>,<css_class_value>,<width>,<size>", or is there another way to achieve this?

Hi Andreas,

the bug you have found was already reported in an earlier issue, together with the same solution you have found.

icon1.gif   Bug Found, posted by nickc1 on Mon Jun 16 17:44:49 2003 
Ive just been alerted to a bug with email notifications in Elog.

Basically if your log book contains a space then the URL that is sent in 
emails when creating tickets or updating old entries doesnt put %20 (IEs 
space) inthe URL it leaves a space hense breaking the link.

for example

Correct Way prior to 2.3.8

http://192.168.0.1:99/Provisioning%20Request/35

Broken way with new version

http://192.168.0.1:99/Provisioning Request/35
                                 ^
Link is broken at this point

My config looks like this

Email Status Assigned = $Owner@abc.co.uk
Email Status Re-Assigned = $Owner@abc.co.uk
Email Status Completed = $Requester@abc.co.uk
Email "Send Update Email" Yes = $Requester@abc.co.uk
Use Email Subject = A Provisioning Ticket has been assigned to you or 
completed
Use Email From = NetworkTeam@abc.co.uk

when i was editting my Admin file, by mistake i typed the next line:

[a}Options Sessies = p-zis-pr1{1}, p-szh-pro{2}, p-dia-pro{3}, a-zis-ac1{1}, a-zis-ac2{2}, a-dia-acc{3}, ---------------------, Anders
{b} Options Sessies = FSC Pro{4}, FSC Acc{4}, Risc/Bus/Sms Pro{5}, Risc/Bus/Sms Acc{5}, ---------------------, Anders
{c} Options Sessies = BAO, BEH, BAOMPSO, BEHMPSO, Demonstrator, AFS, PTG, BSN, ---------------------, Anders
{d} Options Sessies = Wijziging, Storing


the next thing happened was that eLog created a new log which wasn't editable at all, the only thing i could do was deleting it (i created a monster...;-)
The first line/rule with the [ become the title, all other entries in the Admin file were used as a new Admin file.

Users can access root level directories by using a modified URL. I saw on some security web sites that this was a problem in previous versions. Was it not fixed in 2.6?

To recreate enter http://yourhost.yourdomain.com/../../../../etc/passwd

view your password file in the browser.


If this was previously reported, is there a fix?
