In version 3.1.2-416db9f I implemented a "Restore" button, which should fix the second drawback. If you press it, you should be able to go back to where you started when editing an entry.

You need the netdb.h header file to compile elog. I see that you compile under Windows. You have to make sure that your compiler installation comes with all header files. The netdb.h file is usually in /usr/include under Unix.

I downloaded the source code from the git repository which contained the new fix that was made for the missing username-crash error. I tried compiling the elogd.c file using a GCC compiler and it gave an error about missing header files. It first gave an error about netdb.h file and when I commented that header file call, it gave further errors for other header files. I do not really understand why it gives an error about that.

The mxml package has been converted into a submodule in the git repository. At http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download.html you see that you need a "--recursive" flag to clone it. If you have already checked out the sources, you need a

git submodule update --init --recursive

Hello,

I wonder if it's normal that in the sources files, new created mxml directory is empty.

In commit # a6e5962 4 files are deleted but not moved:

- src/mxml.c
- src/mxml.h
- src/strlcpy.c
- src/strlcpy.h 

 

Thank you

Hi Daniel,

you're the first one reporting about this virus. We have different virus checkers here at our lab and none of them triggered. So I guess it is a false alarm.

Best,

Stefan

Hello.

Today I wanted to download latest elog version, and got information from Eset Endpoint Antyvirus, that downloaded file has trojan horse "Generic.GQWFFXB".

It this false positive alarm?

Most mail delivery systems have a maximum size for attachments. In the past, if an elog attachment was larger than this size, the email server refused to accept this email and no notification is sent. Now one can specify the maximum allowed email attachment size with

Max email attachment size = <n>

where <n> is the number of bytes. If an email attachment is larger than <n>, the attachment is not sent with the email notification, but rather replaced by a link to the elog server for that attachment. By clicking on the link in the email notification, a browser will then open and download the large attachment. For each each elog installation, the admin has to figure out what the maximum attachment size of their SMTP server is, and then put this number into the elogd.cfg setting  above. For most installations, the default of 10 MB will just work fine.

Have you tried

Message height = ...

unit is number of text lines.

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to set a minimum default value for the height of the text box when submitting new entries. If I understood well, by default the text box height automatically resizes in order that all the elements of the page are visible. Actually for our needs having a minimum height of the text box fixed (for instance 500px)  is by far more useful of viewing the attachment box (we know it is down scrolling the page :) ). We know it is possible to resize the text box using the mouse but doing this every time one creates a new entry can be annoying. Setting a default minimum size would be more confortable. Is it possible to do this?

 

Thank you

The message height option only works if you select either "ELCode" or "plain" for encoding (this can also be made as default in the config file). For the HTML editor, the size is set internally and I don't have any influenc on it.

I tried with Message Height = 100 inside the conifguration of my logbook, but nothing changed as you can see in the first picture...

What I'm looking for is a way, if possible, to start by default with a wider message box, someting like fig2. For our purpose, using wide tables, it would be very useful to have a wider message box in order to have a full look to the message content, and also having it by default without modifying it by hand with the mouse every time we submit something to elog.

In JS, you have access to the browser URL via window.location. So you can write conditional code depending on the actual elog command.

I think I know what the answer(s) will be already.. that I will need to address this in JS. I don't want each screen to run/show the same code, other than the ones I want to.  AND I do not want to have to create a custom form for each 'menu option' to achieve this (if possible).

Thanx,

John
