Re: Elog v2.7.8 does not show substituted attributes while editing or replying, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Sep 3 14:25:37 2010

Since we updated to 2.7.8 we've found a problem.
Previously, when we used
Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject
The new "Re: " text would appear in the "subject" field while the user was editing their reply, and they could edit or delete it.
Since 2.7.8, however, it does not appear while editing, but shows up only after the user submits their entry. We would prefer that this appears while the user is editing, because in some cases we want the users to have the option to modify this text. Was this intentional? Is there a way to restore the previous functionality?[...]

Sorry, that appears to be an undocumented bug fix :-)
The desired behaviour should be created by
Preset on reply subject = Re: $subject
The command "Subst" is supposed to overwrite the field after it is submitted.
From the documentation you will even find a nicer possibility:
Preset on first reply Subject = Re: $Subject
The prevent replies to build a long chain of "Re: Re: Re: ...."

fckedit and creating tables, posted by Arno Teunisse on Mon Sep 6 21:21:25 2010

Hello
Using windows7 and the elogd 2.7.7 built Jul 31 2009, 13:01:20 revision 2246. I noticed a bug in the tables created with fckeditor. When on winxp there is no problem. So it seems windows7 related.
Don't know if I should post here or somewhere else. When i Click the table icon i get : 
When I want to continue ( Pressing Yes) i get 
So the OK button is removed, and i can only cancel. So it's impossible to create a new table in elog. ( yes , create it by hand, but that is not so nice )
Download the latest version of elog : elogd 2.8.0 built Aug 2 2010, 12:16:05 revision 2312 . Just to see if this helps. The result is the same.
Is there some solution/workaround for this ?
Thanks for elog : it's great.

Answer : Problem solved. It is not window7 related. When I did a fresh install ( not installing over the old directory ) everything is working as expected. So I did something wrong with installing over the old elog directory.
Thanks for you're time and the inconvenience.

elog 2.8.0 as daemon crashes when editing selected threaded list, posted by Mark Bergman on Tue Sep 14 01:15:22 2010
|
I recently upgraded elog from 2.7.8 to 2.8.0 (and moved servers, removed unused logbooks, etc.). I'm now having a problem where elog consistently crashes when attempting to edit multiple entries. This is a very common use case, as we use a "status" field, set to "open" or "closed" to track problems. When a problem is resolved, we will go to the "list" display, set it to "threaded", "select" the thread, and then edit it, to change the status field for all posts in the thread to "closed".
Now, as soon as the "edit" button is clicked, elog crashes. This happens on every thread and logbook that I've tried. The elog logfile itself doesn't show anything useful.
However, if eLog is run with "-v" in place of "-D", it does not crash.
Environment:
CentOS 5.4
eLog 2.8.0 built Aug 5 2010, 12:24:11

I tried to reproduce your problem with following simple configuration file:
[Bergman]
Attributes = Author, Status
Options Status = open, closed
Preset Author = $long_name
The result was that it worked fine (see attachments). Maybe there is another setting in your configuration file which causes the problem. Can you try the simple configuration and see if it still crashes? |

Re: Elogd service crashes on "reply" with percent character in subject line, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Sep 22 14:37:10 2010

My logbook kept crashing whenever I tried to reply to an existing entry. I found that the percent sign "%", when used in the subject line, will crash the elogd service when you try to reply to the entry. This appears to only happen with windows installations. I tested this on your Linux logbook and it didn't crash.
Here is the message taken from the Windows event viewer after the crash:
An unhandled win32 exception occurred in elogd.exe [5224].
Thank you for Elog, you have done a good job with it. It is a great logbook.

I could not reproduce your problem. I tried the very simple config file:
[Demo]
Attributes = Author, Subject
and the problem did not occur (see attachment). Can you try the most recent version (elog280-4.exe) with this simple configuration. Maybe you have a more complicated configuration which causes the problem. In that case please send it to me, so that I can reproduce the problem. |

Thank you Stefan for your help on this. I am using version 2.8.0 built Aug 2, 2010 rev 2312. I tried your configuration file and the problem did not occur. Using my config file the elogd crashes using the % sign in the subject when replying to the entry. So the problem is something in my config file. After checking through my config file and remming out individual lines and testing, I found that the following statement is causing the problem:
Preset on reply subject = Re: $Subject
I was using this to put the "Re:" on the replies.
The only problem now is I don't get the "Re:" in the subject on replies. Am I doing something wrong to cause this? My config file is attached.
Thanks,
Mike |

Thanks for your detailed report. Actually the problem only happens if you have Re: $Subject and a '%' in the subject line. So you were the first one encountering this situation. I fixed it in release elog280-5 which you can download now. |
