I implemented experimentally RSS feeds into Elog. Before releasing this new
addition, I would like to collect some experience with it. This forum now
supports RSS feeds, for which you can subscribe with a RSS feed reader like
Mozilla Firefox. Please give it a try and send me any feedback.

For an introduction to RSS feeds, please see

Great, but what's the corresponding URL for the RSS feed itself

I have found the reason when will it terminate ,
When a user is not found on the server will hang in version 2.5.3 and in 
version 2.5.4 it will terminate by itself as show below.

Hello to all,
i'm running ELOG on FreeBSD 5.2.
We've noticed an issue where e-mail notification from ELOG seem to
have their arrival time in the future, looks like it's about 13 hours ahead.


E-mail gateway to which ELOG posts its e-mail shows this e-mail transaction:
--------------------------------------------
Received: from elogunixbox.somewhere.net ([x.x.x.x]) by  
mailunixbox.somewhere.net with SMTP id <143408>; Mon, 11 Oct 2004 12:22:43 
+1300
To: crypt0@somewhere.net
From: elogposter@somewhere.net
Subject: New ELOG entry
X-Mailer: Elog, Version 2.5.3
X-Elog-URL: http://elog.somewhere.net/somelogbook/47
X-Elog-submit-type: web|elog
Date:  Mon, 11 Oct 2004 12:26:28 -3736512
--------------------------------------------


The last line in that log seems to have some strange time zone offset
(-3736512)
Usually you'd see a GMT+13 (New Zealand time zone on summer time).


Here's ELOG's own logs of that same e-mail delivery:

I noticed that there was a post talking about ELOG on MacOSx having some 
time issues, but nothing mentioning FreeBSD..

Any ideas?
Thanks to all in advance.

The timezone offset (-3736512) is obtained from the "timezone" variable, which
is initialized with the tzset() function inside elogd. See "man tzset" for
details. It looks like if the timezone on your FreeBSD box is not correctly
defined. 

Try to compile and execute following C program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

main()
{
   tzset();
   printf("timezone: %d\n", timezone);
}

This should print something like "timezone: -3600". If not, you might consider
defining the "TZ" environment variable. Maybe some FreeBSD expert knows some
details about this.

Ok, i compiled the code below and ran it,
it prints out:

timezone: 134513644

but in BASH shell if i type DATE, then this is the output:
Mon Oct 18 09:44:00 NZDT 2004
so it does know about NZ time...

Anyone got ideas?

Thanks all.
G.

Hi
I have a problem here which the ELOG service get terminated unexpectedly

Is there any way to debug this problem ?

I am using the latest version of Elog and i tried the 2.5.3 version too

I have the following in a local logbook config: 
 
  append on edit = "\n\n[$date: $short_name]\n" 
 
When I upload an attachment to an entry, it appears like the page is 
getting refreshed in the browser and the 'append on edit' action is called 
again. This results in two appended strings in the text entry, one for the 
initial edit and one for the upload. 
 
Is this by design or an inadvertent result of uploading an attachment? 
 
My preferred handling of this - and perhaps a more intuitive behavior - 
would be to have the append/prepend actions happen once and only once for 
each edit or reply. 
 
BTW Stephan, many thanks for the great program. 

I fixed that in revision 1.496 (see CVS).

It would be nice if elogd would recognise the whole of this as a link
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;138354 rather than 
just the first bit.

Has been fixed in revision 1.492.

Thanks, Stefan.

When creating new logbooks, I will create a single entry to test the  
configuration. After revising the configuration I want to delete that  
single entry and create a new one based on the revised config.  
  
elogd will crash every time upon deleting that single entry with an  
xrealloc error. Here are the syslog entries leading up to the crash:

This is on a Slackware 10 box using kernel 2.6.7. Elogd is accessed  
directly, not through an Apache proxy.  

This problem has been fixed in revision 1.491 and will be published in version
2.5.4-6.
