Elog supports only a limited set of authentications for SMTP. Both GMail and probably also your server requires more advanced authentication schemes, which are not suppoerted by elog. Sorry.

The Drag & Drop was implemented already in 3.0.0 (see https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/ChangeLog). So no idea why it's not working for you.

Hello,

I can paste images into text (which resulted in the text_size too long error message), however, I can't drop them on my elog. However, I can do it on the demo version. Was the drag and drop into text already supported in version 3.1.3 and I am just missing some configuration option, or do I need to find a repository with a more recent version of elog?

Thanks!

I try with gmail account and neither it works.

I'm using Windows 10 and it runs into a proxy defined as URL

[global]
port = 80
SMTP host = mdm.correo.gob.es
SMTP username = XXXX@aemet.es
SMTP password = XXXXXX
SMTP port = 25
URL = http://proxy.aemet.es:3128/

Thanks
 

If you post the [global] part of your configuration, it would help a little bit to understand the problem.

Cheers, Andreas

Hi everyone.

We are new in ELOG. We have installed it and created new logbooks following the "demo" one. We have configured our SMTP host, with email and pass, but we obtain this error when submit

Error sending Email via <i>"mdm.correo.gob.es"</i>: 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: another step is needed in authentication

Do you know why and give us some tips for solution?

So as promised, I add some more information. 

Unfortunately changing the port where the server is listening did not make any change. The situation is still the same. If I try directly from the server, I get a warning about the fake certificate and if I do it from elsewhere, I get the error that the server is not running SSL. 

I had a look at the source code of elog.c and found the point where the error is produced. in order to produce this message, the ssl_connect should be returning -1 and this is only possible in two cases: 

So, in the first case, it means that the SSL connection failed completly. In the second case, the peer certificate is invalid. 

Is it possible to discriminate between the two, for example changing the return value? Unfortunately I don't have a windows computer with development tools. So it would be great if you could prepare an executable for me with this small change. 

Thanks in advance for your help,

cheers,

Yes, I agree that cleaning up old Draft entries and correcting/deleting old entries is a job for the administrator. Currently I do what you've said: commenting out "restrict edit time", changing the entry, commenting in "restrict edit time".

There are already some commands specifically for the admin:

• Admin textarea = <cols>,<rows>
• Admin user = <user list>

It would make sense to add more of them, for this specific case:

• Admin restrict edit time = <hours>

If that is set to "-1", then the Admin can edit old entries regardless of their age. Actually there is no option to "unset" restrict edit time inherited from a global config: a negative time would make sense as "disabling" restrict edit time.

Another item for the endless wishlist ;-)
