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?

Currently have multiple logbooks hosted with elogd. One book is having an issue with Categories. The user regulary uses the category filtering to see one subject for the whole month. This past week it hasn't been working properly. When choosing a drop down category to filter there are not logs found. I've notice the fields under the categories change randomly. Sometimes it would add a % sign where there should be --. Some other fields go from displaying -- Subject -- to just the dashes, thats when the filtered eLogs do not show. Clearing out the erroneous characters can eventually load the specified logs. Has anyone else seen this? Should I just upgrade the system and hope for the best?

PS. while writing this I was able to mitigate the issue by removing the troubled fields from the quick filter section. I'm pretty sure this will not be an issue for my end user but any input is appreciated.

Dear All, 

 We have been using the ELOG for several years and had inserted hyper-links instead of whole files in order to save storage space. From this month our server is moved to a new location with a new address. Is there a way for me to retrospectivelly replace all addresses with the new server file pass?

Thanks in advance, 

Best regards,

 Marta

Hello, I have installed ELOG in an Ubuntu 22.04 machine and is working great, but I have found a small bug with Author names.

I have the config set like this for the Author attribute:

Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

For context, my name is Víctor, which includes the accented "í". When creating a new entry and submitting immediately seems to work well. However, if I create a new entry, save it as draft, go back to the list, and then go to the draft entry, the accented "í" has transformed into "Ã". If I repeat the process, it turns into "ÃÂ", and so on. As I have configured the Author to not be editable, the user cannot fix this manually.

I found a way around this bug by setting

Subst Author = $long_name

Which is okay for us, but might not be for everyone.

In fact I saved this entry as a draft and then on another tab tried to edit it and it wouldn't let me edit because the author name now did not match.

Dear all, 

is there an instruction document how to exacly host the ELOG on a server for example a raspberry pi?

Wishes, 

M

Hi all,

I'm experiencing an issue on Kubuntu 24.04 where the WYSIWYG editor (in HTML mode) doesn't appear at all. This happens across multiple browsers (tested with Firefox and Chromium). The editor area is simply blank, without any visible toolbar or editable content area.

Has anyone encountered this on Kubuntu or found a workaround? Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Pawel

BUG#1
Given:

Attributes = Category, Status, Started, Finished, Activity, Headline
Type Started = date
Type Finished = date
Options Status = 1-To Do{1}, 2-Opened{2}, 3-Closed{3}, 4-Suspended{4}
{2} Preset Started = $date
{3} Preset Finished = $date
{4} Preset Finished = $date

There seems to be no setting of Date format (or Time format?) that gives a
meaningful value to attributes Started or Finished.  Even "Date format = %s"
- which gives number of seconds since 1970 - gives bad results.

BUG#2
In single entry view, elog returns an unformatted date value for "Type =
date" attributes - even when it has been manually entered with the date picker.
