BTW, I love elog and have it running at work. It is being used extensively.


We just did the 2.60 beta upgrade, and now our pre-existing logbooks, with a
List Display = Name, Author, Date for example will only show the first two fields.

It seems like Elog is dropping the last attribute in the List Display line.

We can 'fix' it by making it say:
List Display = Name, Author, Date, Date
so that it drops the second Date, but that is a bad workaround.

Anyone else seeing this?

Elog 2.60 beta on Linux, Firefox 1.04 as the client. Or IE fully patched on WinXP SP2.

PS: Love Elog at work here too! Truly has made our documentation way better. And RSS feeds of the logbooks is just wonderful.


I just reported it to Stefan last week ... it's the "pippo-bug" Smile I called it this way becouse you can put anything you want as garbage Attribute to go around the bug .. I temporary corrected my elogs configs addig a ", pippo" to every "List Display" line ...

I finally found some time to fix the pippo-bug Wink.

It had to do with the request that one can turn on and off the summary lines of the text body in Guest list display. So if this option does not contain Text, the text summary is not shown for guest access, but only for registered access. This modification had the side effect that one column was dropped on the non-guest access.

It seems that, since Fri 2005-06-03, 12:50 almost, the shell exec feature is not invoked anymore.
the -x flag is present in the command line and the elog.cfg Parameters are present both for edit and for insert..
I'm not disabling shell exec by the checkbox

the dummy-level log in syslog does not show *anything* about shell exec.

Having the Firefox pipelining feature enabled makes elog unable to correctly show avery attachment in the full view when a quite large number of them is present..
disabling pipelining makes all works fine again

oh my @#[#@ .. sorry stefan, my bad ... for some reason the make_thumbs script was not +x ..

Is it possible to check the executability of the script in elog and eventually tell about this in syslog ? Tongue

As is said:

Pipelining is an experimental feature, designed to improve page-load performance, that is unfortunately not well supported by some web servers and proxies.

So what do you expect Tongue

I have not checked in detail, but it seems that the browser fires off several requests in parallel, one for each image. This can only be handled by a multi-threaded server, which elog is not (yet). What is more an issue for elog in relation to multi-threading is that one long request blocks all other users. So if I do a synchronize for example from home, the server can be nonresponsive for a minute or two. I have some plans for making it multi-threaded, but as you can imagine this is not so simple to do in a portable way.

  1184   Tue Jun 7 15:48:53 2005 Entry Emiliano GabrielliAlberT@SuperAlberT.itBug reportLinux2.6.0-betaMenu text ignored??
I tried to insert a row in the menu but it seems to totally ignore the command ...
both inserting a filename and simply typeing "Menu text = <b>PIPPO</b>" brings to a page with *no* "PIPPO" in the HTML source ...

is this a bug or another my misconfiguration???
