| David Pilgram | David.Pilgram@epost.org.uk | Bug report | Linux | V3.1.1-f613012 | Minor bug in the emails generated by elog. | 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 occurring. It was fine back in February, with v2.9.2 (presumably) running. |

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Bug report | Linux | V3.1.1-f613012 | Re: Minor bug in the emails generated by elog. | Apostrophes are encoded as "'" 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 I suspect that your mail program has an issue interpreting HTML encodings.

| Andreas Warburton | awarburt@physics.mcgill.ca | Bug report | Linux | V3.1.2 | Re: elogd crashes during SSL Mirror operations involving attachments | For the time being, I am deeming ELOG 3.1.2 unusable with https (SSL = 1) functionality on my "Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)" server with "OpenSSL 1.0.1t", due to the described apparent issues with SSL. Reverting to http (SSL = 0) brings back my ability to upload attachments and synchronize with a remote elogd running on a MacOS laptop.
Interestingly, my records indicate that I suffered a problem with very similar symptoms back in 2011, with version 2.8.0. The problem at that time, which is acknowledged in the Changelog as "Fixed bug with SSL connection shutdown", got fixed in version 2.9.0. Perhaps, when the "Replaced insecure SSLv23 with TLSv1 method" change was implemented for version 3.0.0, a similar issue was (re-)introduced?
It would of course be best if this issue were resolvable soon, due to the security vulnerabilities of http versus https. Thank you in advance for any efforts!
Best regards,
Andreas Warburton

The attached screenshot shows the behaviour after doing a synchronization (with Mirror simulate = 1) following first having ensured that the local (Mac) and remote (linux) ELOGs initially showed "All entries identical" when doing a simulated synchronization, and then having edited local entries 9707 and 9709 by uploading (different) attachments to them.
The fact that the synchronization is suggesting to renumber two different entry IDs to the same number looks like a bug.

My MacOS (10.12.2) elogd version V3.1.2 is a recent git commit (edc5e85), due to the fix to my earlier-described issue solved in the thread here: https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68519.
I am trying to (re-)set up Mirror functionality with a linux server running the standard public (V3.1.2-bd75964). I had initially updated the linux server so that it also had the latest git commit (edc5e85), but could then not even add new logbook entries that involved attachments to it. I therefore rolled the linux server back to the standard public 3.1.2 version.
On the remote Mac, synchronizations usually look like they are going to work fine, with Mirror simulate = 1 switched on. After I set Mirror simulate = 0, and if the server and remote logbook are already identical, I *occasionally* get the proper "All Entries Identical" synchronization result. Unfortunately, this is very rare, and usually there is a failure whereby the remote (Mac) logbook decides that a significant fraction of its entries (usually sequential, from some seemingly random entry all the way up to the last entry) are missing on the linux server and need to be submitted back to the server from the remote Mac.
When the local and remote logbooks are not identical, and a record in need of synchronization contains an attachment, there is again destructive behaviour similar to that described above, except that the Mac elogd executable usually crashes. (As in the case of the already-identical synchronizations described above, I only tested this after observing the correct expected behaviour first with Mirror simulate = 1.)
I'd be grateful for some help/suggestions. My current testing suggests that my problems are likely not elog-content dependent. (The logbook now undergoing synching has less than 10 entries in it.)
More generally, the issue of having things behave fine with Mirror simulate = 1, but then experiencing corruption/damage when switching to Mirror simulate = 0 seems serious to me.
Many thanks, Andreas

| Andreas Warburton | awarburt@physics.mcgill.ca | Bug report | Linux | V3.1.2 | Re: elogd crashes during SSL Mirror operations involving attachments | Further to my comment in https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68549, if the described synchronization requires attachment(s) to be transferred from my Mac laptop to the Debian linux server (with SSL = 0 set), it fails in all the tests that I tried.
To check whether these problems are linked to the OpenSSL version on the linux server, we also tried building an elogd executable using 1.0.2j instead of 1.0.1t. This did not appear to change/improve the behaviour.
I'd like to keep using ELOG into the foreseeable future. Don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like me to beta test any upcoming releases. I'd appreciate having the earlier mirroring and attachment-handling functionality back again.
Best regards,
Andreas W.

| Faith | faithlessangel85@gmail.com | Bug report | Linux | V3.1.2 | [Bug?] Admin restrict edit time | I would like to know, if the command "Admin restrict edit time = " does really work as intended.
In my case I have the following global configuration:
Admin user = <me>
Restrict edit = 1
Restrict edit time = 1
Admin restrict edit time = 10000
And every time, when I want to edit an entry (as admin), that is older than 1 hour, i get the following error message:
"Entry can only be edited 1 hours after creation"

| Peter K | pkravt@gmail.com | Bug report | Linux | V3.1.2-bd75964 | Entries disappear after editing | Dear elog community,
We have a problem with elog V3.1.2-bd75964.
Sometimes entries disappear from the list after editing.
I found them in the .log files with attributes
Locked by:
Draft:
But they are not in the list anymore!
The only solution by now is manually remove these two attributes from the file,
but this is terrible.
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Peter.

The locking has a similar background. If you have locking on (vis "Use lock = 1"), then one person can "lock" a message, and other then cannot edit the same message. If you don't want that, switch locking off.
Best,
Stefan
