How can I make a cross reference from one entry to another entry in the same ELOG logbook?

Have a look at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html, under the section "Adding stuff to a logbook". Basically you can write elog:<id>. At the moment, this works however only in the "plain" or "ELCode" encoding. For HTML encoding, I will add this functionality soon.

 

Thank you! The HTML functionality will be v. useful

  69397   Fri Oct 15 23:57:38 2021 Question Rob Calkinsrcalkins@smu.eduQuestionLinux3.1.4 Too many open files - issue?

Has anyone had issues with having too many files open? I'll setup my server and let it go but after a while, I end up with a lot of "cannot create socket: Too many open files" errors being reported.  I have a sync to another e-log going which I suspect is part of the cause since that e-log server hasn't had this issue. I suspect that there are files being opened, going into some return loop code and then never getting closed. I'm not a C programmer but I see lines like :

fh = open(tmp_filename, O_RDONLY);
      if (fh > 0) {
         read(fh, result, size - 1);
         close(fh);
      }

      /* remove temporary file */
      remove(tmp_filename);

This looks like it opens the file but unless the remove function closes the file, it will remain open even through the file has been deleted. Maybe this isn't the correct behaviour of 'remove' and I am mistaken?

There are also parts like :

 fh = open(textfile, O_RDONLY | O_BINARY);
      if (fh < 0) {
         printf("Message file \"%s\" does not exist.\n", textfile);
         return 1;
      }

      size = (INT) lseek(fh, 0, SEEK_END);
      lseek(fh, 0, SEEK_SET);

      if (size > (INT) (sizeof(text) - 1)) {
         printf("Message file \"%s\" is too long (%zd bytes max).\n", textfile, sizeof(text));
         return 1;
      }

This looks like for the second error, it will complain that the file is too long, return an error message but not close the file and would leave it open. Is this a reasonable avenue to pursue or am I mis-reading the code?   Thanks.

While running two e-log books that were mirrored, I ended up with the situation of two entries with the same number/id.  The mirroring did what it said it would, increment the local logbook entry and grab the entry from the remote logbook. However, when it did, it did not preserve the fields in the log book that are specified in the config file such as "Author", "Priority", "Subject" ect.  I ended up with a very minimal log:

  66346   Tue May 5 01:47:36 2009 Question Rich Sterlingrbsterli@juno.comQuestionAll2.7.6Office 2007 file attachments download as zip due to mime config

Submitted as a question because some folks may consider this a bug in IE (but not MS obviously because IE8 does the same).  When you upload a new open XML attachment (Office 2007 file extension, docx, ppts, xlsx, etc) the attachment is not recognized properly in IE and it tries to download as a zip file (since the OOXML is actually is a zipped set of XML docs).  This is something that is widely recognized on the Internet ( http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=docx+internet+explorer+zip&aq=1&oq=docx+internet ) but is typically resolved by adding the mime extensions at the web server level. 

Are there any plans to add the new mime extensions to the elogd.c source? (Instead of forcing users to use FireFox or Right click, save-as and rename?

 Ok, I added the MIME extensions in ELOG Rev. 2196. The forum runs already the updated version, so can you try with the demo attachments from your entry?

 It looks good from here!  Thanks!!
