I have a little problem with elogd 3.1.0. The problem persists up to the latest ELOG version, even in the
development branch (V3.1.0-8196b81):

When I want to "Submit" a new entry, I get a javascript pop-up that asks me:

_This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have entered may not be saved._

with the options:
"Stay on page" or "Leave page".

The entry is properly submitted if I agree to "Leave page".
But it is very confusing for my users: they are afraid to loose their entry text.

This problem only shows for some specific logbook configurations.
Below is a minimal logbook configuration that shows this problem:
if you select "entry = short", the pop-up is shown;
if you select "entry = long", the pop-up is not shown, the entry is created immediately.

Attributes = entry, when
Options entry = short{1}, long
Type when = datetime
{1} Show Attributes Edit = entry


(PS: it took me several hours to boil down my 120 line configuration into four lines :-) )

I have my site running under apache. I don't have a /elog/ directory.

for example most would do http://www.example.com/elog/ to visit elog

but my site loads at http://www.example.com/

The site is private so it's password protected. Everything works fine except

if I click the "Forgot Password" link it does nothing.

but if I go to one of the log books...

http://www.example.com/open/

The forgot password link works.

Is there anyway to fix this? I have nothing else running on the server, it's dedicated to only ELOG.

That's why I don't want to have it running under /elog/ in the url.

• I can visit remote elog service through IP and port, but cannot submit entry and cannot open the config page remotely. For example, my powerbook's name is "exaos-pb-12" and its IP is 10.10.2.96. I run elogd on my PB and try to access it through URL http://10.10.2.96:8080/ on host 10.10.2.99. While I submit a new entry or open the config page, my firefox alway blames: "exaos-pb-12.local could not be found. Please check the name and try again."
  
• Sometimes, all the images, colors are missing. It looks like that my firefox cannot find the correct URL of these images or CSS files. It might be the same problem of "cannot find hostname".
  

Hello, the "drop attachments here..." feature is very useful, especially when I have multiple files. I can drag them all over in one operation, however I have noticed that this feature only works well in the IE browser.

It does not work reliably in Safari/Chrome/Firefox. I have tired in both 3.1.3 and 3.1.2. I also have the same symptom on the Demo log book of this site.

Please advise. Thank you for the continued development of Elog.

Hi,

"Default encoding" appears to have the default value of 2 (HTML) instead of 0 (ELCode) as documented in http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html

ELOG V2.7.0-1954 : elog.c line 8952
