icon5.gif   Isolating search urls, posted by Philip Leung on Wed Aug 12 16:59:30 2015 
Hello all,

I am in need of isolating GET-requests referring to long-running, read-only elog functions such as search/filter/sort in our Apache proxy and
redirecting them elsewhere. There does not, however, appear to be any easy way of reliably isolating these functions (with the exception of sort) by only
    icon2.gif   Re: Isolating search urls, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Aug 12 17:19:45 2015 
I guess the underlying problem is the long time these requests take and block other users.

I have pretty high on my todo list to convert ELOG into a multi-threaded server which would fix this completely. So if you are patient enough
(=months) you might get what you want.

Thanks for the quick response!

It's great to hear that multi-threading is in the works as this has been my main issue with an otherwise very nice piece of software. I do,
however, feel like we should be able to get my slightly hacky approach to work to hold us over until you finish.

Is there no good way of differentiating search operations from others by URL?

Look for "&subtext=" in the URL

This only applies to searches which specify that they are searching through the message text though. It would not work for things like quick filter

For any other filter you need "&<attribute>=", which of course requires the knowlede of all attributes. There is no other "standard"
flag in the URL indicating a search.

Would there be a simple way to redirect all URLs BUT the ones which trigger searches?

Hi all,

first off all let me say, that I realy like this great tool. That is a lot of help for keeping our server documentation up-to-date. Thanks to
all contributors for that.

This issue should have been fixed in the new version 3.1.1. If the problem still persists, try to clear your browser's cache, since it might still
have cached the old JavaScript files having this bug.

Hello Stefan,

thanks for you reply. I tried an ujpdate today to my old installation, but also after cleaning the IE cache, the problem consists. The same result
is, when doing a clean new installation, with the default elog.cfg and and cleaned cache as well an IE that was reseted to defaults.

Do you have the problem on this Forum as well?

If not, then something is wrong with your installation. Like old JavaScipt files etc. Start with a fresh installation and you should be fine.

If you have the same problem in this Forum, let me know and I will further investigate it.

Greetings all.  A few ELOG users have posted issues with ELOG 3.0 and newer not working with
a variety of MS Windows operating systems,.
I have also encountered a similar problem in my environment.
    icon2.gif   Re: ELOG 3.0 plus and MS Windows issues., posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Aug 5 12:09:47 2015 
I recompiled the executables according to

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj851139.aspx

and replaces the elog311-1.exe distribution. Can you try if it works? Unfortunately I don't have a XP machine here.
       icon2.gif   Re: ELOG 3.0 plus and MS Windows issues., posted by William Wong on Wed Aug 5 23:36:29 2015 
Thank you for recompiling ELOG.  Unfortunately, there is no change in all the test machines
I ran the newly compiled ELOG 3.1.1-1 on.  I will use the 2.x version until our systems move
to a new operating system or I can find someone in my IT department who knows how to compile programs
icon1.gif   Minor bug in the emails generated by elog., posted by David Pilgram on Thu Jun 25 16:39:06 2015 
In the emails generated by anyone making an entry in this log book, every apostrophe is followed by a semi-colon.  So the text "I don't
think..."  appears in the email as "I don';t think...", and possibly that comment will appear in the email as "I don';;t
think...." - not sure on the last bit.  It has been around in the past few versions of elog, but don't recall precisely when this started

Apostrophes are encoded as "&#39;" inside the CKEditor
used by elog, which sents the raw HTML text as email notification. You can test this by pressing the "Source" button at the top left menu in
the CKEditor, then you see it. In my mail program (both Apple Mail and Thunderbird) this HTML enocding is correctly shown as the original apostroph, so

Hi,

The default email subject line for a new entry is: "New ELOG entry", and the default email subject line for an edited entry is: "Updated
ELOG entry". However when we set "Use Email Subject", both new entries and the updated entries use the same email subject. Is there an equivalent

Since there were no responses, I decided to make good use of the fact that the software is thankfully open-sourced. I modified elogd.c and added just
a couple of lines to get what I wanted.

icon1.gif   elogd crashes with a URL, posted by Jaime Duran on Wed Jul 22 22:54:59 2015 
URL causes elogd to crash when a global password file name doesn't match any group's password file name. 

The offending URL is copied from the address field of the browser after sorting a logbook by on of the fileds.

After login out and using the copied URL, elogd shows the authentication dialog and then crashes after the credentials are submited.

I could not reproduce your problem. I can only fix it if I can reproduce it, so let's agree on a common test base. May I ask you to do the following:


Download the most recent elog version from bitbucket and compile it
Create two new logbooks "demo1" and "demo2"
with minimal configuration, but using yor global password file which differs from the group ones

If you Google for "libssl.so.6 is needed", you will find for example this site: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2096126 ,
which tells you to install the libssl-dev package.
