attribute of type "datetime" sorted incorrectly

In order to enter different logdates we created the attribute 'Logdate' as follows:

...
Attributes = Logdate, Author, Type, Subject
Type Logdate = datetime
Preset Logdate = $date
List Display = ID, Logdate, Author, Type, Subject
Start page = ?rsort=Logdate

Time format = "%d-%b-%y %H:%M"
Date format = %d-%b-%y
...

However some unexpected things happen:
1) when sorting on Logdate the sorting is incorrect
2) I expected some kind of fieldchecking when filling this field, however you can enter any text.

What goes wrong here?

Thanks

The wrong sorting is a mystery to me. I redid what you have, and entered exactly the same entries, and got following:

As you can see, the sorting is quite different. What happens if you reload the page, what if you restart elogd?

As for the missing validity check for the date field, all what was missing was the year check. I added that.

Stefan, I think it has something to do with version 2.57-1. Yesterday evening I installed V2.60 and there was a big difference. All entries of Logdate were changed in 1-jan-70 and when entering/editing an entry I now get the calendar and clock. So everything, including sorting, looks good now.

Thanks

"full" only changes color

Hi,
I have the strange problem that when changing to "full"-diplaymode the output looks the same as with "summary", only the color is different. The texts don't appear.
Any idea what can cause this behaviour?

thanks

Can you send me your elogd.cfg ?

Have you made sure that the entries do contain some text? The behaviour you describe usually happens if you have entries without any text.

Well, I guess that causes it. In the summary-view there is no visible text.
I thougt when choosing the full-view the text would appear along with the other attributes.

My config-file is:
================================================================
Theme = default

Attributes = Author, Type, Subject
Required Attributes = Type, Subject
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

That's how it is supposed to be. I tried your config file, added three entries, and got the behaviour documented in the attached images. To me everything looks fine.

Stefan, the output you see I expected to see with my logbook too but I don't.
I will upgrade to V2.6.0-beta3, perhaps that solves the problem.

Stefan, I installed V2.6.0-beta3 and there is a (unwanted) difference. The Text field now appears in the summary-view despite the config specifies:

List Display = ID, Logdate, Author, Book, Chapter, Type, Subject

so in my opinion the text-field should not show up here.

Now the full-view indeed shows the complete texts.

I also attached the complete config-file because perhaps I overlook some details.

Another point: there was some discussion about v2.6.0-beta3 being slow.
I have v2.6.0-beta and v2.6.0-beta3 running side by side on the same server and notice also a big difference in speed, beta3 being much slower.

This is still a mystery to me, since on all machines I try the speed is fine. I'm still waiting for some debugging analysis from users which have this problem. If I cannot reproduce it, I cannot fix it.

After upgrading to v2.6.0-beta4 everything works fine now.
Thanks for your help

The problem is that under Solaris signal handlers installed via signal() get uninstalled *before* the signal handler
is called.  Thus the second time elogd receives a SIGHUP, you get the default action, which is to kill the process.

The solution is to use the POSIX sigaction() call instead of signal().
