Acknowledged. Thanks for the fix. I added it to the development branch.

 Dear Stefan,

I am having a log book with the 5 logbooks. All other books are working fine except only one, every time while submitting the entry I am getting a error message.

I have attached the screen shot along with the error log file.

Please help me in solving this bug.

Regards

It's hard to guess from the information you sent what is wrong. The program just crashes, after the email notification has been sent successfully. Can you check if the one logbook which is not working is using some path for the logbook directory which it cannot write to due to access limitations? Just a guess.

 Dear Stefen,

I am attaching the config file details of the the logbook which crashes. Please check and reply.

The maximum number of attributes is limited to 100, you have 111. Plus you use the attributes "Start Time" and "End Time" more than once. In a future version of ELOG I will add some checking for this, so that you get a proper error message. You can increase the number of attributes, but then you have to recompile elog. I would suggest separating your information into several smaller logbooks.

Dear Stefan,

Thank you very much - Now its working perfectly fine. 

Thanks once again for your valuable time & help.

Hi all,

We've been happily using ELOG for years, but ran into an odd problem when replacing the old Solaris server that ran the ELOG with a newer box running Ubuntu. 

Basically, when I try to search the log, the URL seems to be malformed. I.e. the form produces the query string:

?mode=summvry&reverse=0&reverse=1&npp=35&m&y&Authorthor=ericq

Instead of a functional one like:

?mode=summary&reverse=1&npp=35&Author=ericq

We're running v2.8.1, since we like using the global write password mode; our log is viewable here: http://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:8080 Any ideas what could've gone wrong? Installation was pretty straightforward, the code compiled happily on the ubuntu machine. 

Incidentally, I notice this logbook is running V3, using CKeditor. Any hints when these might be available for public use?

Thanks!

Old versions are not supported any more. I only can fix bugs in the current version. Probably the bug you report is already gone (just give it a try). If you need the global write password mode, you can enable guest read access to your logbook and define a single use with the write password, that's then almost equivalent.
