  66376   Thu Jun 4 17:51:50 2009 Entry jon huangjon.huang@ses.comBug reportWindows2.76Memory leak in 2.76 elogd.exe

Hi,

There's seems to be a memory leak with elogd.exe running windows.  I had this problem with older version of elogd.exe, i've just upgrade to the latest and the problems still exist. I've had this issue with earlier versions.  I've just upgrade elog to the latest 2.76 version. The memory leak still persist. I really appreciate if you or anyone here can help me resolve this issue.

Thank!

JH

Here's the issue. We use elog to develope products we need to be able to see all the thumbnail images in a

be displayed for each product. This works fine but when we move one message to another logbook the thumbnails

end up getting broken and won't be displayed. The only way to fix this is to remove the image and re-upload the

picture after the message is moved. This is not a good option because we have hundrends of items that are

constantly being moved around from logbook to logbook. Any ideas?

EDIT:

On further inspection it seems that when you are moving messages to another log book the image date filename

is re-written which of course breaks the html link to the image.  Is there anyway to supress this so that the filename

stays in tact when it's moved from one book to another. I don't see why the name of an attachment has to get changed

just because something is moved around.

 

I fixed this in revision #2204. The attachment names now stay the same. There is one tiny risk of screwing up, namely if you have the same attachment name in two different logbooks (accidentally also submitted at the same second and therefore the same time stamp). If you then copy these two entries to a third logbook, one attachment will overwrite the other one, but that risk is indeed really small. I actually had to re-write the link to the attachment inside the text body (even differently for ELCode and HTML encoding). So I'm not 100% sure I covered all cases, so just give it a try.

 This is a major improvement. The only issue now is when we embed an image in the body of the message elog makes a nice thumbnail. When you move the message to another logbook the thumbnail doesn't work and instead it shows the MASSIVE full size version of the picture instead. Is that possible to fix?

 

Thanks Stefan!

Mike

Any possibility on this one?

I am trying to add additional information to the subject of new entries:

Subst subject = $subject [INCIDENT $message id]
Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject
Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject

However, the new entry subject looks like:

this is my subject [INCIDENT this is my subject [INCIDENT $message id]

I'm not sure if there's a problem with the substitution or if this is just not allowed (I'm having LISP flashbacks).

By the way, if I use "Subst on reply subject" I get the behavior I would like but the original entry in the thread doesn't contain the appended data:

Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject [INCIDENT $message id]

Any help would be appreciated.

Alex

 

The problem here is that the subsitution is executed before the entry is committed to the database. The message ID is assigned however only in the commit. So at the time of the substitution, the $message id is not available. When you do the reply however, the message id is valid and subsituted correctly. I see at this moment no clever solution for your problem (maybe "Subst on edit", but then you have to edit/submit each message manually once).

Hi.  I'm pretty new to ELOG, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

 

I have a bunch of fields set so that after an entry has been submitted, they cannot edit certain fields.  When I click the edit button, everything looks restricted as it should be, but if I click Preview, the user is then able to change the fixed attributes.

 

Is there anyway to remove the preview button inside the edit page, or is anyone else having this issue?

 

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it in revision #2203.

Hi

I am having a little problem with e-log that I can easily reproduce.

I have defined a number of constraints on my e-log fields and I am testing what happens when the user does not respect them.

So this only happens when I am not observing the input formats or the mandatory fields.

This is the GDB trace. This is not very verbose, so I must learn to use the other tracers, I guess.

I had finally the same problem. This is due to a bug indeed inside is_script(). It has been fixed in revision 2201.

I couldn't find an obvious solution to the problem. I'd like to suppress email

notification to the author of a message. I've had some people complaining

that when they use elog they don't want to get an email about what they wrote

since they wrote it.


Is it possible?

 

Actually I do want to receive a copy, just to be sure that the emails got sent out correctly. I agree that an option would be good for that but it's not implemented right now. An alternative solution is to define a filter in their email client to discard these messages (like if subject contains ELOG and sender equals your own mail address).
