icon5.gif   Option to require new user registration to subscribe to ALL logbooks, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Nov 6 19:03:11 2006 
Stefan, any chance of having an option that eliminates the ability of new users to pick the logbooks they can register with?  I would like to limit this
to the "admin" user to pick per individual.

icon1.gif   How can I configure to prevent empty entries?, posted by Alan Stone on Mon Apr 10 20:28:37 2006 
I have accidentally created a couple of entries recently.  It is pretty easy.  I
fill in the header, type in a Subject, and then hit Enter, instead of TAB.
I have turned off the edit option intentionally.

icon5.gif   Problem with large entry size, posted by Dimitrios Tsirigkas on Mon Oct 16 16:20:06 2006 
Hi Stefan, 

I have posted an entry of approximately a thousand lines (ten thousand words). Posting it took some time, which is logical to a certain degree. However,

[quote="Dimitrios Tsirigkas"]I have posted an entry of approximately a thousand lines (ten thousand words). Posting it took some time, which is logical
to a certain degree. However, whenever a user asks for "Full" view of the logbook, the page takes around two minutes to load and the CPU usage on the elog
server goes to beyond 90% for all this time. Is this to be expected for an entry of that size or is there something going wrong here?[/quote]

I improved the performance by some factor in SVN revision 1733. Can you give it a try and report your speed improvement? Depending on the result, I can
probably do even a bit better with some more effort.

The problem lies in the ELCode parsing. When you post an entry in ELCode form, the elogd server has to parse every word to see if it's any of the ELcode
tags. This is right now implemented in a kind of poor way, such that it takes very long for long entries. I will work to optimize that. In the meantime,

[quote="Dimitrios Tsirigkas"]I was wondering what is the cleanest way of changing old entries already submitted in ELCode into plain text. If I do not include
ELCode in the allowed encodings does this apply to already submitted entries as well or will they still be treated as ELCode?[/quote]
