No, you have to sort them by hand in the config file.

How can I have my list accept over 500 entries? I tried increasing the elogd.c (max_n_list)file as stated but the compiler gives me errors. Please help

Normally it takes about 3 seconds after the button SUBMIT is clicked to open the confirm page (ca. 20 recipients).

But when an user tries to enter a new entry and attach a file (about 500 Kb or greater) or some files (total of 500 Kb or greater), it takes several minutes and his browser displays "the page can not be opened"
In this time intervall, elog service runs with 100% CPU server recource.


This can be related you your email server. Attachments are converted into some ASCII form (base64 encoding), which increases their size by 2-3x. Some email servers are slow in receiving multi-MB data. Can you try to switch off the email attachments in the notification with
Email format = 111

This does not send attachments in email, just their names. If your performance gets much better then, it is related to your email server, and I cannot do anything. So just keep it then turned off.

Hello,

shortly I have a new issue of entry with attachments.
I try to re-produce the problem and find out that elog service needs very long to serve an entry with attachments.

Normally it takes about 3 seconds after the button SUBMIT is clicked to open the confirm page (ca. 20 recipients).

But when an user tries to enter a new entry and attach a file (about 500 Kb or greater) or some files (total of 500 Kb or greater), it takes several minutes and his browser displays "the page can not be opened"
In this time intervall, elog service runs with 100% CPU server recource.

My questions are:

  • is there a form to calculate or estimate how long Elog needs to serve an new entry with attachment? (for example: Summary or multiplication of recipients and large of files) It will help to make a comment to warn users.

  • Could you please make the SUBMIT button disable after clicked? Because it happens that my users click it many times after enter a new entry with big attachments.

Thank in advance and best regards.

No, this is not possible. You have to use the build in calendar to set the correct date. But since you can flip months with a button, this should be straight forward.

I finally found and fixed the problem with the help of Alan Grant. It happens when three things are used together:

  1. Locking (via use lock = 1)
  2. Attributes containing '/' characters
  3. Required attributes are used with attributes containing '/'

The '/' in the attribute crashes actually the JavaScript code for checking the required attributes and thus you have two submissions.

The bug is fixed in SVN revision 1866 and will be contained in the next release.
