Hi Team,

I have set up Elog on the Ubuntu server using the compile and install method. I have installed ImageMagick and GhostScript along with that.

You can find "ImageMagick detected" mentioned in the service status provided below:

However, the ImageMagick was found to be not working on my logbook. See the below error on the logbook.

Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation

I have attached a screenshot for reference.

Please could someone help me how to solve this?

Many thanks,
Scott
 

Dear all, sorry for asking you another question, but today after I finally recovered all my logbook entries, I updated to elog 3.1.1 and now I have a problem uploading images.

This is what I do:

• Click on the insert "Image" button in the editor toolbar
• In the popup window I select the picture I want to upload and then press "Send to server". I see the file appearing among the attachments at the bottom of the message.
• I click OK, but the popup complains that the Image Source URL is missing. Indeed when I switch to the other tab the URL field is open.

I have tried on your demo logbook and after the image is sent to the server, the URL field is automatically filled.

What am I doing wrong? With 2.9.2 it was working normally.

Thanks again and best regards

Antonio

 Hi there :)

I'm having a problem with the e-mail notification on my installation of elog. I'm testing the attachment upload with images, and it seems to work seamlessly. However upon posting, the e-mail notification sends a null attachment, instead of the image I would expect.

Is there an error log I can check for this? I started the elog process without the daemon option, but I can't see any error coming up.

Cheers,
 

Hi Stefan,

In the past I have requested the "mark whole thread" feature, not yet implimented.  At present, I 
edit (in my case) the icon on the first entry to indicate current status of the thread.  I have 
had an idea connected to this.

If you view a page, in threaded form, and collapsed, the header of the first entry of each thread is 
shown.  The order, however, is that of the timed order of the latest entry in that thread.


As an option, under the same circumstances (threaded, collapsed), if the header of the most recent 
entry was shown, then that could also be an indicator of closed thread, or of "marking whole thread" 
option (maybe would be enough for those who desire those features).  It also gives an indication of 
the current status of the thread without having to edit the original entry of the thread to edit 
(for example) the icon. 

Just a thought on how to improve a wonderful program ;-)

Hi,

when do a search and then sorting the outcome of the search via clicking on 
an attribute (to sort it in descending or vice versa order) there should an 
icon be displayed (up.gif or down.gif). But the icons could not be found due 
to a wrong path to the gif files: 

/elog/config//themes/default/up.gif 

Be aware of the two slashes!! Should only be one.

Best regards,


Stefan

Hello,

one idea for improvement. When using the option 'Icon comment' this comment is shown when creating a new entry and moving with he mouse over the icon but it is not displayed in full or summary view. In full or summary view the filename is shown. Not really important, but perhaps an improvement.

Thanks!

Uwe

Hi,

I have defined a quick filter based on an icon attribute and it does not work: no result. I have defined something like your "forum elog" (with Icon comment ): in the quick filter, i see the comments (that a good thing) but whatever i'm selecting, i have no entry.

Is it a bug or i miss something in the configuration ?

Regards

ELOG is a really helpful application

Thanks a lot !!
