Entries disappear after editing + UTF16 problem, posted by Peter K on Wed Jan 31 09:06:10 2018 
|
I found a sequence which hides the message from the list.
In addition this sequence corrupts UTF encoding of the text.
- create new message
- submit it
- Edit this message again
- click SAVE and then exit the editor (click Logbook name in the header or BACK in the browser)
- message disappeared from the list!
- by clicking NEW message I found my lost one in the drafts, but all text was corrupted.
I've made small GIF presentation on this issue (attached, open in new window), may be this helps.

Dear Stefan,
Thanks for quick reply.
I checked List drafts = 1 in config file - it does not show drafts in the list in my case.
Can it be blocked by any other option?
I have these options enabled:
Use Lock = 1
Save drafts = 1
List drafts = 1
Peter.

The message is not lost, but becomes a "draft". This works similar in most email systems. When you edit an email and son't send it, it stays in your "draft" email folder and does not show up in your "sent" folder. Same here. You are suppost to "submit" you entry, the "save" is just a temporary safety backup. If you do not submit (if you press BACK or your browser crashes), the entry is not submitted to the system, but stays around as a draft. If you create a new message, the system asks you to edit and finish your draft, so that it does not get lost. So always hit "submit" if you are finished editing a message, not just "save".
If you want to see the draft message, they are rendered in red in the normal message list if you have
List drafts = 1
in your config file. No ide where your cluttering comes from.

We installed our elog from .apk in November 2017.
Version V3.1.2-bd75964
I suppose it already contains List drafts feature.

You might have to update to the current elog version. This feature was implemented in Dec. 2016.

yes, that is exactly where I got this V3.1.2-bd75964 version!
Do you recommend to download it again from your site and compile?

The -bd... number must be from the .apk package, which I don't have control over. You have to check the elog git hash code. You see it at the bottom of each elog web page. For this forum server, it's ELOG V3.1.2-7933898 with 7 digit number at the end.

Dear Stefan and Andreas,
We have updated our elog to V3.1.3-7933898, now I see the drafts in the list!
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Stefan,
I think there is a misunderstanding: there is an ELOG commit with the GIT ID bd75964.
It is from Sep. 2016, so: Peter, you should download a newer version.
Cheers
Andreas

Tell me your current seven digit number and I can check if your version is too old.

"Upgrading" from 1.35 to 2.52 fails, posted by PJ Meyer on Thu Apr 1 20:21:26 2004
|
Have a working copy of 1.35 running on NT4 server.
Went to upgrade to latest version.
Stopped service, installed the 2.52 version, restarted service and when
trying to connect get nothing but server not found, dns errors, etc.
Copy back the 1.35 elogd.exe and everything is fine - I can connect and add
entries to log.
Copy 2.52 elogd.exe and nothing.
So being the bright boy, I unistalled E-log, went through the registry and
yanked everything out that referenced ELOGD, rebooted, installed 2.52, made
the necessary registry changes, started service and nothing.
Stopped service and copied 1.35 Elogd.exe back into folder, started service,
and everything works.
Any ideas on why 1.35 works like a charm but 2.52 won't? I've tried stepping
back to 2.10 version before giving up.
This is a server that is patched to latest and runs quite well with 1.35. |

tuens out that the first log file was causing the problem. Elconv would just hang
on trying to convert it. renamed it, reran elconv, reload service and 2.51 elogd
and all was working as it should.

Login/Password request appears twice, posted by PJ Meyer on Mon Dec 6 20:05:58 2004
|
Have set up 3 top level groups, each with their own password file.
Ever since users have to 'login' twice to get to the appropriate elog.
You click on top level group, get to log book and click on the one you want
and get login/password dialog box, click ok and and you get it again and
then you finally get into the elog book.
Anything I can check on this behavior? |
