Sorry, I wasn't sufficiently clear. The issue I mentioned only applied to images that are inlined in the body of the post using the "Image" button in the CKeditor toolbar.

Oddly enough, on this logbook, I am not able to upload an image in that way; after selecting the image and pressing "Send it to the Server," nothing happens.

Since I am unable to attach an image to this logbook, I made a post over the the Linux Demo logbook showing an image that was uploaded with the CKeditor toolbar "Image" button that doesn't link to the full resolution image. 

Incidentially, Dario Milicic's recent commit to the git repository (83a10a5), adds the exact functionality I'm looking for to drag-and-drop attachments with the "dndfiles" CKeditor plugin. I've looked througe the "image2" code myself, but I don't have much experience with javascript, and haven't figure out how to do the equivalent for that plugin. 

Thanks for your time.

You make a valid point!

My perspective is from my lab's specific use case, in which we often post plots of data in the body of the text, and it is useful for the ELOG-generated thumbnails to link to the full resolution plot. In previous versions, I believe this was the behavior. It would be convenient for my users if this continued to be the case, but I understand that it is not neccesarily the appropriate default behavior for all users of ELOG. 

The automatic hiding behavior is what I'm after, and I've discovered that it is only a problem for PDF attachments. I have reproduced this on the demo logbook on git revision f828049. 

I've taken a look at the source you mentioned, but as far as I can tell, it is just looking for the opening of the img tag in the HTML source, and I'm not sure why that is different for a PDF.

Hm, looking through the source, there are many many places where PDF files are treated differently than strictly image filetypes (PNG, etc.). This makes sense in the context of multi-page documents. 

Still, I like using PDFs for vector plots... I suppose I should also confess to the following modification I've made to my ELOG for treating PDFs like images in drag-and-drop uploading.

Hi, 

I am playing with the elog automatic subscription script, but somehow I am failing in submitting an entry. 
I am using a syntax as this:

echo test | elog -h 127.0.0.1 -p 8085 -d /usr/local/elogbooks/Elog -l "Sub Elog" -a "Type=MyType" -x -u user passwd

and I get a message which says: 
"cannot get host name: Success"

which seems contradictory and also there is no entry submitted. 

The command is executed on the host where the elog is running, the port and directory are taken from the cfg File. 

What is my mistake, where is my misunderstanding of the documentation?

Any hints appreciated. 

Erik

Hi,

The default email subject line for a new entry is: "New ELOG entry", and the default email subject line for an edited entry is: "Updated ELOG entry". However when we set "Use Email Subject", both new entries and the updated entries use the same email subject. Is there an equivalent of "Use Email Heading Edit" for the subject line? I tried "Use Email Subject Edit", to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

e.
