Usual problem for me. There is no elogd binary file in the tar.gz file. 
I remember you used to include it. :) 

nait.

After going through the code of the Python API (https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog/blob/master/elog/logbook.py) I tried the following:
$ python3
>>> from passlib.hash import sha256_crypt
>>> sha256_crypt.hash( 'foobaa', salt='', rounds=5000)[4:]
'waa2sT6eBt.qk0wsucX/nxU5GcqffqlEx6ja5Lg1OR5'
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.now().timestamp()
1599039390.964989
$ curl -F cmd=Submit -F exp=labor -F unm=florian -F upwd='waa2sT6eBt.qk0wsucX/nxU5GcqffqlEx6ja5Lg1OR5' -F Encoding=plain -F When=1599039390.964989 -F Author=curl -F Subject="curl test" -F Category=General -F Type=Diary -F Text="foo baa" http://localhost:8080/test/

This worked. It seems to me, that the "-u" option from Curl is not working for elog.

Cheers,
Florian

Hey,

The Elog is installed via the Deban package on Buster.
I created a test logbook with attributes Author, Type, Category and Subject.

As you can see, curl only prints the login page of the logbook and no new entry has been created. Any suggestions what might go worng here?

This is correct. The elogd daemon needs username and password in parameters "unm" and "upwd". The password must be SHA256 encoded, so best is to grab it from the password file. This way one does not have to send clear text passwords over the network.

Hi

I have a logbook including the attributes: Author, Topic Date, Phase, Reference, Subject, Start Time, End Time, Duration

The Phase attribute has a number of MOptions including: Design, Manufacture, Testing, Results, Transport

I only want the attributes Start Time, End Time, and Duration to be shown if the Transport Phase is selected. I have tried using the conditional attributes

MOptions Phase = Design{1}, Manufacture{1}, Testing{1}, Results{1}, Transport{2}

and

{1} Show Attributes Edit = Author, Topic Date, Phase, Subject, Start Time, End Time, Duration
{2} Show Attributes Edit = Author, Topic Date, Phase, Subject

This works to show the attributes when the relevant Phase is selected but the Edit page shows the Phase options including the {1}/{2}. Is there are way that these conditionals are not displayed?

Also, I would like the "Duration" Atrribute to be a calculated value showing the time difference between Start Time and End Time. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Adam

The conditional attributes work only with Options, but not with MOptions as written in the documentation. I tried your set-up with Options and it worked ok. If you attribute Phase is non-exclusive, meaning it could be Manufacture and Testing at the same time, then you have to play some tricks with an additional attribute like

Attributes = Author, Topic Date, ..., Duration, Transport

 

MOptions Phase = Design, Manufacture, Testing, Results, Transport

Options Transport = Yes{2}, No{1}

{1} Show Attributes Edit = ...

{2} Show Attributes Edit = ...

An automatic calculation of Duration is unfortunately not implemented.

On the matter of automatic calculation of fields, it is possible using included javascript but you have to do the work yourself.  For example, we have a log which computes responsivity as the ratio of a photocurrent and optical power.  With log attributes called "Photocurrent", "Optical Power" and "Responsivity" there is a file in the logbooks directory called photomixer_javascript.html containing something like:

<script>

if (document.form1.Photocurrent) {
  document.form1.Photocurrent.onchange = new Function(
    "mod();"+
    "var power = parseFloat(
document.form1.Optical_Power.value);"+
    "var current = parseFloat(
document.form1.Photocurrent.value);"+
    "if (!isNan(power) && !isNan(current) && power != 0.0) {"+
    " 
document.form1.Responsivity.value = Math.round(current/power*100)/100.0"+
    "}"
    );

  document.form1.Optical_Power.onchange = document.form1.Photocurrent.onchange;
}

</script>

and the elogd.cfg file includes

Bottom text = photomixer_javascript.html

for the relevant log.

The assignments to the onchange handlers are guarded because this javascript is included on all pages for that log, including the list pages where there is no such field as Photocurrent, (or Optical_Power) and the event handler function is defined dynamically for the same reason.

Forgive me I'm not incredibly Elog savy yet.

A little backround about this log book -  I have our log set up as individual user names.  The log book is designed for entrys to be made when a process shutdown needs to be bypassed.  The operator will create an entry and submit it.  Then a supervisor will come in after and review/approve it.  I've removed the edit function,  but left the "Reply" option available for the supervisor to go into the same entry and check off the "Reviewed" attribute.  When the reviewed attribute is checked off, even with a different logged in author the next entry ID still shows the original author that put in the entry rather then the author who clicked reviewed.  If there a way to get around this?

[Process Bypass]
Comment = (Not in use right now, currently developing)
Attributes = Author, Date/Time of Bypass, Equipment Name, Device Tag, Supervisor Sign-off,
Moptions Supervisor Sign-off = Reviewed
