Hi Andreas, 

Thanks for your help. I will try to do that and if I found how to fix this problems, I will post it at here again.

Greetings,

  Running elog 3.1.0 on CentOS 6.6.  When I try to access a nonexistent file, elog reveals a path in the 404 page.  For example:

Not Found

The requested file /usr/local/elog/themes/default/blortblortblort7854.htm was not found on this server

What URL did you use? If I try here on this forum I get:

which looks fine to me.

Hello, I have installed ELOG in an Ubuntu 22.04 machine and is working great, but I have found a small bug with Author names.

I have the config set like this for the Author attribute:

Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

For context, my name is Víctor, which includes the accented "í". When creating a new entry and submitting immediately seems to work well. However, if I create a new entry, save it as draft, go back to the list, and then go to the draft entry, the accented "í" has transformed into "Ã". If I repeat the process, it turns into "ÃÂ", and so on. As I have configured the Author to not be editable, the user cannot fix this manually.

I found a way around this bug by setting

Subst Author = $long_name

Which is okay for us, but might not be for everyone.

In fact I saved this entry as a draft and then on another tab tried to edit it and it wouldn't let me edit because the author name now did not match.

On a new MacBook Pro (Silicon M3), I installed version 3.1.5 build 23df00d9.  The application appears to work normally, except that, after a short while, the indicated attachment count (paperclips in the attachment column of the Summary view) starts to increment fairly rapidly with each time that I visit the page.  Attachment counts appear even for records that don't have any attachments.  When I access records individually, either those with or without real attachments, everything looks OK.  Any insights as to what might be causing this, and how to correct?

Installation went smoothly using the (now longstanding) MacOS installation instructions, with one small exception: When doing the "sudo launchctl load ..." step, there is occasionally an I/O error of some kind.  (Sorry, I don't have an exact transcript of the error at the moment, but it appears to refer to line 5 of a script.)

Many thanks,

Andreas W.

A quick follow-up concerning the secondary matter I mentioned in my last post, namely the issues I had with the deprecated "sudo launchctl load ..." and "sudo launchctl unload ..." subcommands currently provided in the ELOG installation instructions for MacOS.  I found a solution to this -- will post it in a separate thread.

The strangely auto-incrementing attachment counts in the Summary view are still present, and I'm curious if anyone else has experienced those.  Also, I could not find a way to customize the Summary view such that the final (rightmost) column with the attachment counts can be suppressed.  That would at least put the problem out of sight until a developer can intervene and fix the bug.

I'm traveling right now and will only next week be able to look into that, so please be patient for a few more days.

Stefan

The problem with the attachment paperclips has been fixed in the current version.
