Hi again!
I have recently noticed that elog often creates large accumulations of the following group of error messages in our syslog:
Jul 9 19:05:00 elogd[27009]: Falling back to default group "elog"
Jul 9 19:05:00 elogd[27009]: Falling back to default user "elog"
Jul 9 19:05:02 elogd[27009]: Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Jul 9 19:05:02 elogd[27009]: Cannot remove pidfile "/var/run/elogd.pid" ; Permission denied
Jul 9 19:05:05 elogd[27013]: Falling back to default group "elog"
Jul 9 19:05:05 elogd[27013]: Falling back to default user "elog"
Jul 9 19:05:05 elogd[27013]: Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Jul 9 19:05:05 elogd[27013]: Cannot remove pidfile "/var/run/elogd.pid" ; Permission denied
Jul 9 19:05:05 elogd[27016]: Falling back to default group "elog"
Jul 9 19:05:05 elogd[27016]: Falling back to default user "elog"
Jul 9 19:05:06 elogd[27016]: Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Jul 9 19:05:06 elogd[27016]: Cannot remove pidfile "/var/run/elogd.pid" ; Permission denied
I have further found out that these coincide with the generation of attachment thumbnails (i.e. every time a user displays an entry generated before the advent of ImageMagick support for the first time, and every time the preview pictures are scaled/rotated while editing an entry).
The PID-file is indeed owned by the root user and not elog, but is correctly cleaned up at termination of the elog server.
Jul 9 19:47:08 elogd[27335]: elogd server aborted.
Jul 9 19:47:16 elogd[27359]: elogd 2.7.3 built Apr 18 2008, 14:08:31
Jul 9 19:47:16 elogd[27359]: revision 2104
Jul 9 19:47:16 elogd[27359]: Falling back to default group "elog"
Jul 9 19:47:16 elogd[27359]: Falling back to default user "elog"
Jul 9 19:47:16 elogd[27360]: Falling back to default group "elog"
Jul 9 19:47:16 elogd[27360]: Falling back to default user "elog"
Jul 9 19:47:16 elogd[27360]: Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Jul 9 19:47:16 elogd[27360]: Cannot remove pidfile "/var/run/elogd.pid" ; Permission denied
Jul 9 19:47:16 elogd[27359]: ImageMagick detected
Does this point at some sort of problem?
Another question concerning the thumbnails of multi-page PDF-files: would it make sense to restrict the thumbnail generation to the first page? Since this is the title page, which in most cases is the only relevant page (really reading the file from the thumbnails is usually not possible anyway), this could help keep the attachment display less crowded ...
Thanks for the work and continuing support!

We use elog for (amongst other things) a simple change management log. About two dozen users allowed to do updates and their email addresses are listed at the bottom of the page to allow any of them to be included on circulation for a change request. The email addresses appear in the order that they were added (i.e. apparently random). Is there any way to sort these, ideally by Last part of Full Name/First part of Full Name, but login name or email address would be OK?

Ok, I added sorting for "museremail" and "muserlist" type of attributes. Sorting is simply done by sorting the email addresses and first part of full name, respectively. The change is implemented in SVN revision #2115. |

Hi,
I have defined a quick filter based on an icon attribute and it does not work: no result. I have defined something like your "forum elog" (with Icon comment ): in the quick filter, i see the comments (that a good thing) but whatever i'm selecting, i have no entry.
Is it a bug or i miss something in the configuration ?
|
I tried to reproduce your problem, but it worked fine for me. I used in elog.cfg:
[demo]
Attributes = Icon, Author, Type, Last Edit, Subject
IOptions Icon = icon1.gif, icon2.gif, icon3.gif, icon4.gif, icon5.gif, icon6.gif, icon7.gif, icon8.gif, icon12.gif, icon13.gif, icon14.gif
Quick filter = Icon
Then I entered two entries with different icons, and I selected the quick filter. It correctly showed me the entry with the icon I selected:
|
Yes you're right, but i want to see the comment in the quickfilter list, not the name of the icon :
[MyLogBook]
List Display = Auteur, Destinataire, Etat, Réponse, Rapport
Attributes = Auteur, Destinataire, Etat, Réponse, Rapport
IOptions Etat = icon3.gif, icon13.gif, icon14.gif, icon2.gif
Icon comment icon3.gif = Suggestion
Icon comment icon13.gif = Réfusée
Icon comment icon14.gif = Retenue
Icon comment icon2.gif = Réportée
Quick filter = Auteur, Date, Etat, Destinataire
All the entries:
When i'm selecting the quickfilter, it should display the entry "arthur":

Thanks for a great piece of software.

Just upgraded to v2.7.4 and really like the new editor but I need to be able to browse for the correct file when inserting a hyperlink. I looked into CKfinder but can't see how to use this with ELOG. Can anyone help? We have been using ELOG in our control center for about a year and it is working out great!
|
CKfinder is a tool to browse the server, not the client where the web browser is running if I understand correctly. ELOG only supports attachment and inline images residing on the client side, so you browse with the file selector of your web browser. Or did I understand you incorrectly?

Thanks for the reply Stefan and thanks for making this program available - where can we send a donation?
When I click 'InsertLink' in the FCKeditor I get an 'Explorer User Promp' popup asking me to enter the name of the hyperlink. After I enter the name I get 'Enter URL of hyperlink'. Typically I want to link to a file on a mapped drive but I would prefer to browse to the file location and select the file rather than type it in. |
