I have found a little problem with elog. I'am using ELOG V2.5.8-6. When I'am on the logon page,
I type my Login and password and hit "submit", in the bottom of IE, we can show my password without encryption, it can be dangerous. I have made a screenshot to explain my problem better.
Could you fix it for the next release ?
Thanks a lot.

I switched the login page to the HTTP "POST" method, where arguments are not passed in the URL.

The new version is under CVS. Can you try if the behaviour is better now? I upgraded also the ELOG forum, so you can try there as well.

Steve Jones wrote:
Stefan, not a problem. ITMT, any idea how I can manually clear this "lock"? Is it embedded in the logbook itself?


I would recommend to remove the Restrict edit time = 0.5 temporarily from your config file, then edit this entry, the clicking Back instead of Submit (since you don't really want to edit the entry). This removes the lock, and you can re-enable the Restrict edit time = 0.5 in the config file.


Quote:
Our eLog is set to create logbook entry locks and after 30minutes prevent one from re-editing an entry, thus forcing a REPLY to be created.

SCENARIO: When an *attempt* is made to edit a logbook after the 30minute timer, one gets the message that EDITING is prevented and to use the browser "Back" button.

PROBLEM: The display now shows that particular entry to be locked, even though the attempt to edit was blocked. It appears that the lock flag is set prior to the "Edit" attempt being blocked and thus the lock flag is never "unset".


I fixed this problem and committed it to CVS. It will be contained in the next release.

When pasting the URL for the registration of new users (with 'Self register = 3') elog
crashes with segmentation fault. I don't have the time currently to give you more
debuging information but maybe you can have a look the same. It crashes after
the user is registered. The Email is sent, too.


I cannot reproduce this problem either. The only difference I see is that I use thunderbird as my email client, where I don't have to copy/paste the activation URL into my browser, but just click on it. If maybe the copy/paste operation adds an additional CR/LF or so, that could be a problem. Can you check again? A stack trace of the crashed elogd would help as well.

The 'reverse sort' option does not work for quick filter searches. In the
URL there is always written 'reverse=0'. For normal 'Find' it works OK.


I don't understand the problem. If I take the example elogd.cfg from the distribution, it sorts in reverse order, since the file contains Reverse sort=1. If I apply a quick filter, the result is still sorted in reverse order (entry ID from high to low). If I set Reverse sort=0, the even after applying a quick filter, the entries are sorted with their ID from low to high. Applying a quick filter should not put a reverse=0 into the URL, so it's strange to me where this comes from. Can you try to reproduce the problem with the demo elogd.cfg?

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.

Can someone please enter a comprehensive list of the commands eLog will honor. I'm trying to build a 'decent' start page and am not totally familiar with eLog just yet. Thanks Stefan for an awesome application. The documentation is really decent, too. I just have been unable to locate a list of all commands available.
Thanks in advance.
Gary ;->


there's a link in the main elog web page.. it's under the Admin guide and it is the elog.cfg syntax guide

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 ...
