Since the English speaking community told me many times that my mod was really not correctly named, I've decided to rename it to a new and nice and efficient and powerful and <put whatever cool you want here> name.
Old name: ChatLog (thread)
New name: Elephant (this thread)
Why Elephant? Because elephants are well known to have a very good memory, and it is the aim of this addon: remember what you typed on your keyboard.
Quote, from the old thread: Elephant logs the chat for you in the background. It saves the WHISPERS, RAID, PARTY, SAY, YELL, OFFICER and GUILD chats separately, but also all general chats (General, Trade, LocalDefense, ...) and custom chats you are currently on.
Combat and battleground logging have been added recently. You can look at the logs, click on the player names and/or items inside, choose which channel you want to log, copy/paste to an external application, and much more...
Note that you do not need to translate DISABLE, EMPTY, ... as they should be printed in game with the correct translation. Please post here if it not the case.
I get "Elephant-2.5\Event-Message.lua:306: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)" on login with fresh install too.
Also, what is your characters name pb_ee1? ;p

Kyron, you should simply leave any channel you joined when installing the release of Elephant that was bugged, and rejoin them immediatly. That should fix the problem.
Elarenda, try to update Elephant, it seems you do not have the latest release. My character name is Lona, btw ;)
Hmm, I just noticed today that if you enable the text save to file thingy, the text file records EVERY chat, regardless if you filtered them in elephant. Is it possible to make it filter in text file aswell as the ingame viewer?
Since I started using Elephant I cant record a /combatlog for the raid wws stats.
I cant get Autocl nor loggerhead to work with this mod.
Am I not doing something?

That's an UI restriction made by Blizzard. Elephant simply uses the LoggingChat() and LoggingCombat() functions, that are the ONLY way to save something to a regular file on the computer. These functions are not customizable at all and thus, you can save all, or nothing, that's all. Thus, I cannot change anything to this behaviour, unfortunately :(

Thank you for your time
To log the combat log to a file, simply check the box in the top right corner of the main window called "Log the combat chat to a file" and uncheck it when you'll want to disable it. That's all! No more /slashcommands!
Try to update to r49194 (or any release >) and check if there is still this error. If so, try to push "Clear All" and test it again before posting any bug report here. Thanks! ;)
Filters: you can now avoid logging some specific channels. For example, if you add the "AceComm*" filter, you will no more log any channel with its name beginning by "AceComm". If you specify "*", no new custom channel will be logged.
Catchers: you can now log additionnal messages in some logs (not all). For example, you can now choose to log party messages in the raid log, or choose which combat messages you want to save.
I've added a cool functionnality that lets you save all the logs exactly the same way Prat does. You just have to make sure Prat is loaded and check the option in the config menu. You'll then have the log display the same way Prat displays your chat.

Pew pew!
With this turned on, I was getting double messages logged. Once I turned the Prat formatting off, it went back to logging like I expected.
