I know this thread is realy old. Anyways I would like to give a +1 on this request.  As a workaround I currently wrote a small PHP Image Hosting/Upload Script and embedded a link to it in the Menue. 

On that page the user uploads the image and gets a link which he/she can embedd using the button... Easy, but a bit to complicated for some users ;)

Right now it is not possible to easily include pictures into the message body, but I put it on the wishlist. Of course you can always refer to external pictures if you submit your text as HTML and put the proper tags there like this one:

and you can even scale them like

but of course this requires to have that image stored somewhere else. I will probably add a feature like

att:name.gif

which will reference a picture from the attachment, and will be converted to the full picture name after submitting that message.

I have just made a fresh installation of ELOG 3.1.1 on a windows machine and unfortunately it is not working. If I try to insert a picture with the image button, the dialog complains that the image url is missing. If I drag-and-drop the picture on the edit area, it gets attached but not added as picture.

I tried already on two different computer and on the basic elog configuration.

Can you crosscheck it on your side on a win pc?

 

Thanks smiley

Since elog is only the web server providing (comfortable) access to the logbook database, it relies on the web browser (possibly enhanced by script code) for facilities to attach pictures and other files to entries. So unless your browser has such an extension or someone writes some sort of script that can do it, the only way is to use an external capturing program, save the picture and upload it in the usual way. Cf. also entry 66004.

Sometimes, it is annoying that the

[ilcode]
(in-line code) which translates to
<code>
instead of
<pre>
.

Yoshio


The [code] tags produce <pre>...</pre> tags for multi-line listings, where several spaces should not be dropped to keep the formatting of some source code for example. I also want it sometimes in a single line, so what I do is to use a [FONT=Courier New] tag, which produces output very similar to <code>, but without line breaks.

You can turn off thumbnail creation with

Thumbnail size = 0

as written in the documentation. The PNG files are "thumbnails" (= smaller versions of large pictures). Mostly people put large images into elog entries, which take long times to download. Having small thumbnails insted speeds up download times considerably.

Hi,

We have a user who posted a lot of inline jpg.  The elog system converted those to png and thus cause the size of the elog to expand about ~4x of the original size.  It is caused the problem of entry size too large for email notifications.  Is there a way to turn off the conversion to png picture file?  May I know also know why it converts to png to store on the server?  Thank you very much.

Hello,

In elog version 2.7.1.2004, when I want to upload an image, after browsing I obtain a error message like < Upload command not unauthorized>. That is strange is the file is right uploaded in the logbook directory but not appear in the entry.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for reporting this problem. I found that it was related with switching ELOG to French (in the English version it always worked). I fixed this in revision #2006 and re-made the 2.7.1 distribution with the bug fix.

Hello,

I made the test and it's really switching english to french. Another problem I observe by switching in french is when I want to create / edit an entry in html, the tool bar is hide ! Does the #2006 will corret this too ?

Regards

Stéphane

 This seems to be a problem with the FCKeditor which is used inside ELOG. If you upgrade from a previous version of elog, make sure not to only update the executable, but the whole scripts directory tree. When you start elogd manually, you will see FCKedit detected if the installation is correct.
