I recently upgraded elog from 2.7.8 to 2.8.0 (and moved servers, removed unused logbooks, etc.). I'm now having a problem where elog consistently crashes when attempting to edit multiple entries. This is a very common use case, as we use a "status" field, set to "open" or "closed" to track problems. When a problem is resolved, we will go to the "list" display, set it to "threaded", "select" the thread, and then edit it, to change the status field for all posts in the thread to "closed".

Now, as soon as the "edit" button is clicked, elog crashes. This happens on every thread and logbook that I've tried. The elog logfile itself doesn't show anything useful.

However, if eLog is run with "-v" in place of "-D", it does not crash.

 

Environment:

        CentOS 5.4

        eLog 2.8.0 built Aug  5 2010, 12:24:11

 

 

I'm now running eLog  2.9.0 and seeing the same crashes. However, I've got some more information that may be helpful.


The crash seems to be directly related to the order of replies in the thread. For example, in this thread I am replying to the original entry. The original entry has 2 children (the entries are siblings) and no grandchildren.

In our installation, eLog crashes consistently under the following conditions:

       go to the "list" display

       set it to "threaded"

       "select" a thread that has siblings at any generation of replies

       choose "edit"

If the selected thread only has one entry at any generation, eLog does not crash.

 

Here's a horrible attempt at a display of two message threads. Note that in the first example, there are 2 replies at the same generation (siblings)--both the person who responded and the original submitter replied to the initial submission. After that, all replies were to successive generations.

 I am also experiencing the same exact problem as explained above. It only seems to happen when a part of the title has changed. I will include my config for an example. Make a few entries, then change the "Customer" paramater. Then try and edit an entry in the thread.

I have two identical servers (IBM X337) setup on the same LAN with Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS with ELOGD running (Compiled from tarbell) with the same exact package install base. (Only difference between the two servers is the hostname, and the ELOGD.CFG global section)

I noticed after setting these servers up today that ELOGD crashed on the server configured to mirror. It looks like there may be a memory leak in the mirroring of ELOG.

Stefan,

i recently download the elog server for windows and configured. its working with me fine

i would like to configure my elog server for to display a different color when am giving a specific "value" for a attribute "Status".

from the documentation i found to use the

Style Status Fixed = background-color:green

but with this configuration, the entire raw will be with red color or the specified color. i am looking only for that specific box (Status column) to be with specific color.

my configuration is as follows

Attributes = Author, Type, Category,  Subject, Location, Problem Description, Status

Options Status = Fixed, Under Process, Not Fixed

Style Status Fixed  = background-color:green

Style Status Not Fixed  = background-color:red

Style Status Under Process  = background-color:yellow

Am attaching two images, one is current display and next one is what i am looking for

am not sure about will it possible or not.  please guide me. if it possible with javascript please tell me how i can include a external javascript for this pupose.

Thanks in advance

siva

I have added a new option for you:

Cell Style <attribute> <value> = ...

which does exactly that. The new version is 2.7.8-5 is ready for download. 

Hello Stefan,

I can not find 2.7.8-5 tar file. Could you please point where it is?

Thanks,

Ruslan.

This is an intermediate (-5) release. Usually I do not build the tar files, since linux users can always grab the source code via SVN and built it themselves. I just make the for the Windows users since most of the do not have a C compiler. Exceptionally I made a 2.7.8-5.tar file for you, which you can obtain from the download area. 

 Thanks a lot Stefan.

The problem is still there in 2.7.8-5. The following line 'Cell Style Status Done = background-color:green' does not do anything whereas 'Style Status Done = background-color:green' highlights the whole row. Is that fixed?

Thanks,

Ruslan.

Then it must be a typo in your elogd.cfg, or you forgot to restart the server. At the bottom of the elog page you must see ELOG V2.7.8-2294 like on this page. For the Demo logbook (accessible via "Demo" on the top left corner of this page, you can see how it works (Type=Routine gets green).

 Right, I should have restarted the server. Thanks! Everything looks perfect now!

I'm trying to send an email based on an attribute, in other words, a lookup and not $user_email of the author.

For instance, if I set a an attribute "Assignee" with a valid user full name (i.e. John Smith), I'd like to look up John Smith's 
email address from the password file and send him an email. I can't seem to find it something like that in the docs, I can write 
a script to do that, but was looking for a less cumbersom way of doing it. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a logbook with attributes Tool1, Tool2, and Tool3.  When viewing a completed entry, what I want to do is see Tool2 or Tool3 only if they are non-zero, and don't want to see them if blank.  Basically, a "Hide if blank" option.  I couldn't find it - if it doesn't exist, are there any tricks to simulate it?
