Hi and thanx for such a wonderful program! I was wondering how I might edit, change or add to the landing pages. In other words the first pages that show up (or any for that matter) when you login to a book. I can view the code ok in my browser using that function, but when I search for the actual page and it's locale, I cannot find it. Is it created on the fly by the server? If so, how can I change them.. as I want to add for instance javascripts to manipulate the pages and data more, without actually loosing the main essence of the program (log books). Thanx

submissions via the elog - program can overwrite entries even if the user has no edit rights

First, thank you so much for elog;
after using it for about 3 years, it has proven really handy and reliable.

When there is a very long URL in a message in "plain" encoding,
and this message is displayed in a list of messages,
a very long scrollbar appears at the bottom (same "scroll width" as the URL)
and some tabs and and dropdowns (filters) are unreachable without scrolling.

This does not happen if

• the message is displayed in single message page
• the message has a ELCode encoding

The exact version used is
0b9f7ed0 Merge branch 'develop'

There are no relevant instructions in elog.css for .messagelist,
and I did not find any obvious fix in the source code.

That make sense. Is there a way to recovery when hung except restart elogd? On the other hand, whether could  prompt for reloading attachment when interpreter detect error but not hang?

The problem is you have some weird characters in your file name R2BLM15 ? ? ? ? ? .PNG which confuses the interpreter. There should not be any special character or blanks in attached images.

I tried to run elog with SSL so I created key and crt files. In crt file I added client certificate and intermediate certifacte. Unfortunately, when I try to run openssl s_client -showcerts -connect myexample.com:443 I got only the first certificate from the chain. Anyone has idea why this happens?

Sounds really strange to me. The remote server does not "know" that "S:\" is a network drive, so the syncing process should work exactly as before. The only idea I have is that the access to the network files take pretty long, and you run into a timeout during syncing. We had this in the past (for AFS netwhor shares, not Windows shares), where sometimes we have a blocking behaviour where the file access lasted 10-20 seconds, and the server process was simply blocked. Since then I do not recommend to put logbook on network shares.

We have a number of temperature chambers – each has its own laptop running a local ELOG server, with unique logbook for each.  Using the mirror feature, these individual logbooks periodically synchronize to a single remote desktop server, which has a copy of each of the logbooks.  All of that works great, as long as each of the ELOG servers are storing the logbook(s) to their respective local hard drive.

I wanted the remote server to store its copy of the logbooks on the network file server.  I changed the global options of the elogd.cfg file, adding the following:

               Logbook dir = S:\SHARED\LOGBOOKS

That change worked fine on the remote desktop server – new logbook entries were now being stored on the network file server.

Unfortunately, I lost the ability to sync from the individual logbooks to the remote desktop server.  During synchronization, I now get the following error message: “Error sending local entry: Error transmitting message". 

Has anyone run into this? Does this make sense? Am I missing something? Is there a workaround? Is there a wrong time to drink beer?

Thanks,

Frank
