    Reply   Re: Check logbook files for wrong references, posted by David Pilgram on Sat Sep 16 15:47:16 2017 

I had to modify the script because I'm still on elog 2.9.2, where there are not subdirectories (by year) for
 each logbook.  Line 5 had to be changed to  

$logf=q/[0-9][0-9][01][0-9][0-3][0-9]a.log/;

to do this.

Once done, I found the deliberate orphan script that I had put in to test, and rather too many other orphans than I had expected.  One or two I cannot explain.   If I had clicked on any of those entries elog would have gone into infinate loop.

A very useful utility.  Thanks Andreas!

You can run this little script to check if all entries referenced "In reply to:" do actually exist.
To use it, you first need to "cd" to your logbook directory ("cd /usr/local/elog/logbooks") and then run it without arguments "logcheck".
If it finds references pointing to a missing entry, it'll print the path to the file with the offending reference and some lines. For example:
### error: reference to entry 146, that exists 0 times. Reference is:
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-<p>[...].</p>
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-$ @ MID @ $: 147
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-Date: Mon, 07 May 2012 13:44:03 +0200
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log:In reply to: 146
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-Wann: 1336373261
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-Autor: [...]
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-Eintrag: Problem
[...]-

Very often this happens if an entry is deleted AFTER someone already replied to it. Normally that is no problem, but in some cases you might get infinite loops and that causes ELOG to hang. The script is not checking for loops, but wrong references might give you a hint where to look.

The script will print duplicate entries as well, if the referenced entry exist more than once.

Cheers, Andreas

PS: never include the string "$ @ MID @ $:" without spaces in an ELOG entry: apparently ELOG cuts off all text from that token on.

 

Entry   bash script for thumbnails creation, version: 0.2.0, posted by Emiliano Gabrielli on Wed Feb 23 11:25:51 2005 make_thumbs
The following script creates a thumbnail for image/ps/pdf files.  
it can be used with "Execute edit" and "Execute new" configuration commands  
in order to get resized thumbs of attachments.  
  
It uses file(1), convert(1) for images, gs(1) is also required for ps and pdf.  
  
You have to start elogd with the "-x" option to enable execution and put  
something similar to the following in you configuration elog file:  
  
Execute new = /path/to/make_thumbs -s 650 -q 95 $attachments  
Execute edit = /path/to/make_thumbs -s 100 $attachments  
  
make_thumbs have to be executable by the user running elogd, of course.  
 
 
ChangeLog: 
* version 0.2.0 Fixes a BUG in PDF creation 
Entry   JavaScript list auto-refresh, posted by Emiliano Gabrielli on Fri Jul 8 17:34:02 2005 
Here is a simple piece of JS code to accomplish a smart page reload.
We don't reload if in some kind of editing mode.

You can put the code everywhere you like in the elog html page, my suggestion is to put it in Bottom Text (or Top Text):

;auto-refresh
Bottom text = [I]<script language="JavaScript">if (null==window.location.href.match('/[0-9]+$|.*(cmd|select)=.*') ) { window.setTimeout("location.reload();", 2*60*1000); now=new Date(); document.write('<br/>Last reload at '+now.getFullYear()+'/'+(now.getMonth()+1)+'/'+now.getDate()+', '+( ((h=now.getHours())<10) ? '0'+h :h)+':'+( ((m=now.getMinutes())<10) ? '0'+m :m)+':'+( ((s=now.getSeconds())<10) ? '0'+s :s)) }</script>[/I]


the timer is a product of # of minutes, #of seconds and milliseconds... 2 minutes in the above example Smile

Entry   [New Feature]: JS calendar filter , posted by Emiliano Gabrielli on Thu Jul 28 18:42:48 2005 elog_calfilter.pngelog_calendar_filter-1.0.1.tar.gz
NOTE:
it seems that for some strange reason it slows down elog very much when and only when elog is stunneled over ssl!


The attached tarball contains a full featured JavaScript allowing everyone to use a JS calendar (no popup windows, just JS and CSS!) to perform date-based filtering actions. An uncompressed version and the tarball for the last cvs rvision of this script is available at www.SuperAlberT.it

You can browse the ChangeLog here.

A simple way to use it is to uncompress the wall package into the elog data dir, under the "scripts" subdir.

the you can add the following code to your elog.cfg:
Filter Menu text = scripts/calendar_filter/calendar_filter.html

note that this configuration parameter is available in elog starting from
Revision 1.732 2005/07/29

and automagically have the new calendar_filter icon showed Smile

Entry   securing of elog with stunnel v4 under Linux, posted by Yoshio Imai on Mon Sep 25 11:24:05 2006 elog-stunnel4.howtostunnel.conf
The following instructions should work in securing the elog using stunnel version 4 under Linux. The specific paths may have to be adapted to your distribution. A sample configuration file is attached.

Dear ELOG users,

starting with SVN revision 2328, custom input forms are implemented. This allows application specific formats for check lists etc. In our specific case we had to implement a shift check list, which was quite long. Furthermore the check list should be optimized for an iPad, which we take in the field and record various checks and readings (in our case some gas pressure gauges at the PSI particle accelerator). Since the standard ELOG interface was too inflexible, a completely hand-written form was needed. The form can be activated by the new configuration options Custom New Form, Custom Edit Form and Custom Display Form, one for a new entry, an entry to edit and and entry to display. In our case we used the same form for all three cases. This is how the shift check list looks under the Safari Browser on a PC:

And here is how it looks on the iPad:

IMAG0036.jpg

Each section can be collapsed and expanded (blue arrows at the left), and various internal checks are made before the check list can be submitted.

Implementing such forms is however more something for the advanced user, since you have to hand-write HTML with CSS and JavaScript code. It can then however be a powerful method for check lists. Please find in the attachments the elogd.cfg configuration for that logbook and the shiftcheck.html source code file. It is a bit complicated since the page is a static page, elogd just serves it from the file. This requires all the dynamic functions to be implemented inside the HTML file with JavaScript. To display an entry for example, the JavaScript loads the raw data with the "?cmd=Download" command and the populates the form fields. The collapsing and expanding is done by using CSS properties. The integrated style sheet was optimized for the rendering on an iPad. Rather large fonts were chosen so that the items can be checked easily with your finger tips. Various parameters are sent between the browser and the elogd program via hidden fields and cookies. So only something for experts! But if you go through the effort and hand-write the form, it can be very handy. Note that you have to upgrade to SVN revision 2328 for the three new options.

 

Thank you very much for this nice example!

I found a little issue with newer ELOG versions: if the authentication is done via session cookies, the submission of the checklist will fail with the error "Cannot open file passwd". This is actually misleading as the cause of the error is the empty user name submitted (since the cookie storing user name and pwd hash is never created) and not the password file itself. This can be worked around by removing the user name and pwd fields in the html form before submitting in case there is a SID cookie around.

The attached shiftcheck.html contains this workaround and seems to be functioning fine on my installation (ELOG 3.1.0).

 

Cheers,

Hanno

Unfortunately you made your changes against a pretty old version of elogd.c, so I can't see which changes you made (the diffs gives 100's of changes now). If you can apply your fix against the current elogd.cxx from the bitbucket repository, I would be happy to include the fix in the distribution.
