Using an RSS reader on a pasword protected elog, posted by Jackie Schwehr on Wed Sep 28 10:36:53 2016
|
I'm trying to set up a python rss parser to read the output from my collaboration's elog, however the elog is password protected and I cannot figure out how to have a python scrip get past the login screen. Is there something obvious I'm missing that will allow a parser to submit a username and password? If that's too python-specific of a question for this audience, then what is the exact security method elog uses, so I can get information on that? I've read through the documentation and either I don't know what I'm reading (likely) or I'm not looking in the right spot. |

| Hi All,
Just a quick message in the hope of helping other find an answer to the question: How to reach the RSS Feed???
I spend hours trying to find out what the correct URL is to reach the feed. The documentation on this is non-existent - at least we could't find this anywhere in the docs.
Answer: Just add elog.rdf at the end of the URL of the logbook!!
eg. http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/elog.rdf

Actually the browser should show an RSS icon to help you subscribing to it. In Firefox 3 that was at least the case. Now they removed it. See here for a fix:

For other browsers it might be similar.
Best regards,

I've just tested with Firefox, Chromium and IE, but no such icon appears. And for me this icon doesn't really help at all, as I'm using the feed to parse the logs
Besides, there is no mention of this Addon in the documentation, so the problem is still there: there is no easy way to find the feed URL.

Looks like the icon has disappeared in current versions of the browsers. I added a paragraph to the description:

I just checked with Chromium and can see the icon:

Strange browser behaviour with chrome?, posted by Tim Schel on Mon Mar 30 14:46:28 2015

Hello there,
I have been using ELOG for 4 years now and all of a sudden I see a strange behaviour.
As you can see in the screenshots below I have configured 6 logbooks (tabs) ... only 2
display (colors in CSS?) correctly as configured.
There haven't been any changes recently configuration wise .. but I suspect my chrome
has been upgraded silently.
Any ideas why one logbook (see screenshot 2) called Kandidaten would display
correctly and the other called DSP doesn't?
The first screenshot displays all rows in blue and purple letters ....
The Logbook Stagiairs even has multiple behaviours .... some of it sub books display correctly
and some don't.
I have a new colleague since a few days who uses the ELOG as well but using Internet Explorer
and she doesn't have this strange behaviour. I can rule out configuration error since
I stripped configuration and added verbosity logging level up and nothing was detected.
Is this possible solely due to chrome update (of which I am not even sure).
I looked at the CSS source of both screenshots and I notice that in the first case (wrong!)
there is no CSS class attributed to the TD elements.
Anyway I can understand that the browser displays everything wrong ... but this behaviour
I cannot explain. |
