icon13.gif   ELOG on Chrome on MacOS?, posted by John Haggerty on Thu Dec 19 19:42:48 2013 
In the past couple of days, I seem to have developed a problem with making entries into elog's displayed with Chrome (the latest, 31.0.1650.63) on 
Mac OS (10.9.1, the latest).  The problem occurs with attempting to edit or enter HTML encoded pages with fckedit; although pages render correctly 
in list mode, if you try to edit or enter an entry, the page is blank, the cursor is missing, you can't see text or type new text.  I ran elogd -v by hand, 
and there were no obvious problems, and I looked at the developer consoles in Chrome, and the only place I see any hint of what the problem might 
be is the Javascript console which says this:

event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead.
Uncaught SecurityError: Blocked a frame with origin "http://localhost:8080" from accessing a frame with origin "chrome-
extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc".  The frame requesting access has a protocol of "http", the frame being accessed has a protocol of 
"chrome-extension". Protocols must match.
 fckeditorcode_gecko.js:36

It works ok in Safari, but it would be nice to use Chrome, and it was working ok until recently.  I don't think the problem occurred when I updated to 
Mac OS 10.9.1, but I don't keep careful track of the Chrome version.  It's not critical, but I pretty much exhausted what I knew how to debug.  I have 
close to the latest elog (2.9.2-2455), although I see the same phenomenon on this elog (.2.9.2-2475) and I think it's related to this thread:

I tried the prescription in the October 22 entry, but it didn't seem to help, although I wasn't sure I had really tested it with compressed javascript and 
cache and what have you.

Later on, I tried the prescription pointed to in that thread that says in scripts/fckeditor/editor/js/fckeditorcode_gecko.js to replace

FCKTools.FixDocumentParentWindow = function(A){ if (A.document) A.document.parentWindow=A; for (var i=0;i<A.frames.length;i++) FCKTools.FixDocumentParentWindow(A.frames[i]);};

with: 

FCKTools.FixDocumentParentWindow = function(A){try{ if (A.document) A.document.parentWindow=A;} catch(e){};for (var i=0;i<A.frames.length;i++) FCKTools.FixDocumentParentWindow(A.frames[i]);};

and after I got all my brackets straight, my pages were visible.  I'm still not sure when this turned up, since I use my elog every day (hour) and so I'd hardly miss it when I upgraded various things, although I don't watch Chrome updating itself that closely.

Have a good holiday!
icon14.gif   Due to Evernote web clipper, posted by John Haggerty on Tue Jan 7 04:28:28 2014 
I investigated a little further the problem with fckedit in Chrome with the hints in the Chrome Developer Javascript window for debugging, and it seems the problem occurs when I have the Evernote web clipper extension enabled. If I disable it, I am able to make entries on any server, otherwise the cursor is missing and there is no way to enter text as reported in an earlier thread that I inadvertently failed to reply to.
Entry   pdf thumbnails in latest Imagemagick, posted by John Haggerty on Mon Jun 6 05:45:57 2016 

I think with the latest Imagemagick from brew (6.9.4-7) that pdf thumnails no longer get made; the attachment is there but the message "Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation" apears instead of the thumbnails.  I couldn't make out from elogd -v 3 why they failed, but I couldn't make out the exact convert command that was failing.  This is on MacOS 10.11.5 and I think the updated version ofImagemagick was the last thing that changed before it failed.

Hi John,

I use ImageMagick 6.9.3-10 on my Mac OSX 10.11.5 and it works fine. So apparently the parameters of the ImageMagick program have been changed. If you set the logging level to 2 or higher, you should see the "convert" and "identify" commands in the logging file. If you try these commands manually from the command line, you will see if they succeed or give an error. Please post this error here so I can have a look.

Cheers,
Stefan

Since I posted that, there have been multiple versions of Imagemagick released through brew for the Mac in the last few weeks, and I'm now using 6.9.4-9, which seems to work fine with thumbnails again, indeed, I noticed that as soon as 6.9.4-8 was released, I was back to normal, but thanks for the debugging pointer.

icon4.gif   Trouble on Catalina, posted by John S. Haggerty on Fri Nov 22 02:55:50 2019 

I decided to rebuild elog 3.1.4 in Catalina (MacOS 10.15.1), XCode 11.2.1.  As in previous builds, I needed to add to the Makefile pointers to openssl:

CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

LIBS += -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib

The make builds cleanly, no errors, no warnings.  After make/make install, elogd segfaults immediately.  I saw the same behavior with the version in gitlab.  I kept my (very) old build and was able to make install it without recompiling and it still works.

I'll crack out the debugger when I have a chance to get more information, but has anyone else seen this problem?  

icon5.gif   insert screenshots directly to elog?, posted by harley on Wed Feb 3 21:54:41 2010 

Elog is excellent!

I apologize for the naive question, but is there a way to insert screenshots directly into elog entries?
