  292   Tue Apr 22 11:29:44 2003 Warning Thomas Saleinsalein@ckc.deBug report  Opera and IE behave different
I repeat ...
. Opera browser 7.03 simply crashes, when choosing the direct URL to our 
logbook, i.e. http://localhost:8080/logbook2. We have set a general 
password file and a different read password for each of our logbooks.
If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook1 everything is fine. We get a 
window "Authentication required" and type in simply the read password, no 
user name.
If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook2 the behaviour is different. We 
see the window "Authentication required" appear, then Opera crashes.
Change of the read passwords did not change this erroneous behaviour. This 
problem was not with version ELOG 2.3.4.

In Internet Explorer 6 all is okay.


 ... and add

The behaviour is different in those browsers even with the start page at 
http://localhost:8080/
Internet Explorer 6 demands a login. But as we have no password we cannot 
login.
Opera 7.03 demands no login and simply offers the list of logbooks to 
choose one.

I've created an elog where users can then enter links to a file: for example they would enter:

<a href="file:///M:/Data/Inspection%20Reports/ABC123.doc">ABC123</a>

If they are running this on their desktops where everyones M drive is mapped to the same location, not a problem, the file opens perfectly.

The problem we have is some people work off of site and hence they run everything from a memory stick (USB drive), then once back in the office, copy the memory stick back on to the network.

Unfortunately when off of site the href link M: is no longer valid as the M drive doesn't exist.

Hence i've been trying to open a local file with the following syntax: 

<a href="file:///../ABC123.doc">ABC123</a>

It just won't open

Hence in my frustration i basically copied the word file ABC123.doc into every single directory on the memory stick thinking surely this must work, it must find it somewhere, unfortunately not.

What am i doing wrong?

Hi,

Is it possible to restrict the display of logbook entries to the entries 
created by the currently logged-in user?

I'm thinking of using the ELOG system in a school laboratory environment: 
students must write entries in the logbook about their excersises, but I 
would like that students can not "see" what other students have written. To 
make it even more complicated, I would like that students can see their own 
entries and the teacher entries.....

Is something like this possible?

Thanks in advance

  1182   Tue Jun 7 10:59:20 2005 Entry Michael Husbynmichaelh@online.noQuestionLinux2.5.9-2Omitting some fields in e-mail
Hello,

Is there a way to include some attribute fields in the e-mail from eLog, but not all?

E.g, if you have the following:
Attributes = TA, Endret, UA, Pri, Status, Oppdragsgiver, EpostTil, EpostIKT, Tittel

Then you get the heading:
Logbook             : 
TA                  : 
Endret              : 
UA                  : 
Pri                 : 
Status              : 
Oppdragsgiver       : 
EpostTil            : 
EpostIKT            : 
Tittel              : 

(removed the attribute data),

But I would like to send out only:
UA                  : 
Pri                 : 
Status              : 
Oppdragsgiver       : 
EpostTil            : 
Tittel              : 

Any way to do this in the current version?

And perhaps change the order too... I'm asking for much perhaps?

Best regards
Michael

Hi, I'm not sure if this is an Elog bug, something wrong in my configuration/database.

When I create a new article on Elog it always shows an attachment from one of the first entries ever made to this log book made. This is in addition to any attachments which were actually added during article creation.

I just made an example entry to demonstrate. First attachment here shows how the entry looks in the GUI, it has an attached text file called "jail.local", 2nd attachment is how that entry looks in the database file - no attachment.

Does anyone have any idea what's happening?

  66346   Tue May 5 01:47:36 2009 Question Rich Sterlingrbsterli@juno.comQuestionAll2.7.6Office 2007 file attachments download as zip due to mime config

Submitted as a question because some folks may consider this a bug in IE (but not MS obviously because IE8 does the same).  When you upload a new open XML attachment (Office 2007 file extension, docx, ppts, xlsx, etc) the attachment is not recognized properly in IE and it tries to download as a zip file (since the OOXML is actually is a zipped set of XML docs).  This is something that is widely recognized on the Internet ( http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=docx+internet+explorer+zip&aq=1&oq=docx+internet ) but is typically resolved by adding the mime extensions at the web server level. 

Are there any plans to add the new mime extensions to the elogd.c source? (Instead of forcing users to use FireFox or Right click, save-as and rename?

  66472   Tue Jul 28 16:30:46 2009 Entry T. Ribbrockemgaron+elog@ribbrock.orgBug reportLinux2.7.6r2233Odd problem (bug?) with certain attribute

I have the following simple test logbook:

; General
List display = Edit, Hostname, OS, Size
Entries per page = 150
Quick filter = OS
Date Format = %d/%m/%Y
Summary Lines = 0

; Attributes
Attributes = Hostname, OS, CPU,Size
Required Attributes = Hostname
Sort Attributes = Hostname

; Message part: log is text only, but elog is allowed
Default encoding = 0
Allowed encoding = 2

For some strange reasons, I'm having problems with the "Size" attribute, which I have added later. If I start adding/editing entries, at some point, the "Size" attribute will stay at "0" and will not accept any further changes. I've tried to pare down the config to maybe find which statement could be causing this, but to no avail. The only thing I can say is taht id doesn not seem to happen if the configuration consist of the sole line

Attributes = Hostname, OS, CPU,Size

I'm quite puzzled as to what is going on here (the original problems stems from a more complicated logbook) - I'm not even 100% sure whether this happens due to a bug or not.

 

Regards,

 

Thomas
