Hello!  The CDMS collaboration is using e-Log as one of it's issue tracking systems.  In the last few months, I have noticed a problem when either creating or editing entries from my usual Safari browser (currently 11.1 on MacOSX 10.13.4):  The [Submit] button triggers a spinning beach ball, with no connection to our e-Log server, and after several minutes, Safari complains the the page had to be reloaded, discarding all of my edits, uploads, whatever.  This used to be occasional, but in the past month it has become routine, such that the only way I can edit or create entries is by launching a different browser entirely (Firefox), just for e-Log editing.

Now, I am also seeing the same problems with Firefox, but at the "occasional" level.  The difference is that Firefox produces some diagnostic information, which is why I'm posting here.  When the browser hangs, after a short while Firefox produces a "Warning: unresponsive script" drop-down box:

Warning: unresponsive script

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding.  You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Script: http://titus.stanford.edu/cdms…/SuperSim/681?cmd=Edit&steal=1:30

[] Don't ask me again

[Debug script]                       [Stop script]     [Continue]

If I use the [Debug script] button, the call stack shows "onclick 681:1" -> "chkform 681:30", and the line-by-line traceback shows the chkform function:

16   var in_asend = false;
17
18   function chkform()
19   {
20     if (last_key == 13) {
21       var ret = confirm('Really submit this entry?');
22       if (!ret) {
23         last_key = 0;
24         return false;
25       }
26     }
27
28     if (autoSaveTimer != null)
29       clearTimeout(autoSaveTimer);
30     while (in_asend);               <=== This is the stuck line
31     submitted = true;
32     return true;
33   }

I presume that in_asend is supposed to get changed from false to true asynchronously, by some other parallel communication with the server. But that doesn't seem to be happening.

Does this look like an issue with the e-Log distribution? Or is there a configuration issue with our e-Log server which we could improve?

 For one user in our ELog installation the "Show only new entries" button seems to be stuck on one particular date and time " ...

this occurs with different browsers and PC's

For other users it works as described in this forum post ...

"When you are active browsing entries, your activity is recorded (only the time) in the password file. Now when you are inactive for more than one hour, you are considered "logged out", and your last activity is taken as a filter for new entries. That means you see new entries since your last activity in the logbook. " https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1612

Hi, 

I have a question concerning the "Selection page" ELOG.cfg parameter.
I was wondering if it is possible to specify a complete (absolute) URL such 
as http://www.myserver.com/my_elog_menu.htm.

I need this type of configuration because we actually need to have the 
custom selection page sitting on a different server from the one where ELOG 
is run.

Thus far, the only work-around I could think of is to make a reference to a 
local html file which redirects to the http:// resource outside of the 
server.

When tried the absolute path, i got "The requested 
file /usr/local/elog/http://www.myserver.com/my_elog_menu.htm was not found 
on this server" error message. I'm wondering if it's just a bug or if there 
is a reason for it.

Thanx,
Tomas

Hello

I use Resolve host names = 1 in my config file, but I still get IP instead domain name.

I use elog in internal network with my own DNS.

Any sugesstions ?

Hi Stefan,

This has happened twice on this forum now, starting from Mon 23rd November.

Someone submits an entry (Me, 66625, Bertram Metz 66628)
I assume you post a reply (66626, 66629), but it shows up as if I or Bertram are the author of the reply, not
yourself.  My reply to you (66627) was really authored by me, and I expressed puzzlement then at this point.

Is this a bug, or some wierd affect of us forgetting to log out?

Regards,

David.

Hi all :)

I try to setup my first lobgook, and have some problem. 

I want that Author was preset by $long_name, and it can't change its name. That works correct. I also want, when other user click Reply, that he will be author of reply, but Author windows goes emtpy... No Author, or Reply User in that field. Is it correct?

Do you have any suggestions? 

Here is part of config I use:

; preset author and email
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset Author Email = $user_email

; these attributes cannot be changed
Locked Attributes = Author

; options for reply
Subst on reply subject = Re: $Configuration Name
Remove on reply = Author, Author Email
Preset on reply Author = $long_name

Regards

Daniel.

Hello

I have upgraded elog from version 2.2.4 to 2.3.6 and then entry "Number
Attachments =" is not being read.  Looking at the changelog, I found that
"Number Attachments" has been removed in favor of "enable attachments".  I
tried looking in the documentation but I can't find a discription of the way
 in which multiple attachments are handled.  Can someone give me a pointer?

Thanks
Kevin

Hi

When I upload a message with a attachment (and also without an attachment) I get this message:

"No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file"

However the file and the text have been uploaded. So why does it gives me this message, and how do I work this out?

Best Regards
