 I have a possible explanation for this problem, but it is just guess work. If I'm right, then just download the latest ELOG version and it will work properly again.

  • You've downloaded an elog version from git, which still contained the line 12 in elogd.c: char svn_revision[] = "$Id$";
  • Since you did checkout from git, the $Id$ was not substituted.  
  • ELOG trys to extract the version by this:      rsprintf
              ("<center><a class=\"bottomlink\" title=\"%s\" href=\"https://midas.psi.ch/elog/\">ELOG V%s-%d</a></center>",
               loc("Goto ELOG home page"), VERSION, atoi(svn_revision + 13));
  • svn_revision + 13 is pointing into the void. Still I would have expected that you get a number as a result.

My advice: download again and retry.

 I have downloaded a latest version.  It has displayed the new version as ELOG V2.9.2-bac715d where seems defined in GIT_REVISION as I guess.  Then I set Bottom Text Login to a html file, it still shows those unwanted characters.

Okay, why don't you just remove the unwanted characters from the html file? Because the attached file contains exactly those characters.

Yes, unwanted characters are in my file.  In fact, they are not visible under some editor.  So, I have found a reference from this site http://www.ventrino.com/blog/60/2008/07/three-little-characters-i%C2%BB%C2%BF-designed-to-make-your-life-hell/ about how to remove them.  Basically, file's properties has to set to either ASCII or Encode as UTF-8 without BOM.  Thanks.

Is there a way for user to unsubscribe from a logbook? Can a user delete their own account?


Yes. Yes.

Just click on "Config", and you will see a page where you can unsubscribe from each logbook and a button to remove your account.

Safety is getting more and more an issue these days. Normal browsers don't accept self-signed certificates any more. One possibility is to get a certificate from https://letsencrypt.org/

Hello there,

Can anyone point out to me how I can avoid the unsafe browsing when accessing our local ELOG?  
Browsing with chrome and always getting the unsafe browsing page. One has to go through the advanced
button to continue ...

I once had my setup with SSL certificate (local signed, not through the CA) but I somehow cannot get it
to work anymore.   Just create a local certificate and copy the certificates to all browsers that access the ELOG site, no?

Anyway, a small guide would be great.

Hello,

I just made an update from version V2.7.0-1964 to V2.7.0-1985 and I am receiving now the error message Unknown toolbar item 'ShowBlocks' whenever creating or editing an entry.  When clicking onto Ok, everything seems to work fine. Can you help please? Error message occurs in Internet Explorer and also in Firefox.

Addition: The Show Blocks Symbol is missing

Thanks!

There was an update of the FCKeditor which I forgot to include in the distribution. Please re-download elog270-3.exe and install it again. The new version of the editor will be included there and fix your problem.

The intermediate elog version 2.7.0-3 had a bug which truncated some entries (just like the one where I reply to). This has been fixed in release 2.7.0-4. So please everybody who uses 2.7.0-3 do an update.

In trying to fix this, I have re-downloaded the source from github rather than the source at http://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/tar/elog-latest.tar.gz, which is apparently very different from what is on github. Now I am running ELOG V3.1.4-d828aa58

The problem still persists, however, although only for some of the logbooks.  Curiously, it *seems* to only show up if I run elogd with the -D flag. If I just run it in the terminal, I have not seen the formatting problem (so far).

In case it's helpful, I post my elodg.cfg file.

I recently ported an elog over to a new server running Ubuntu 20.10. Everything is working okay, except sometimes I get a strange unformatted appearance when I go to the elog page (see attachment). The happening of this seems random. For example, yesterday, when I started the elogd daemon everything looked fine, but when I log in today I get the unformatted appearance. Also, yesterday when I was setting things up, sometimes certain logbooks would have the formatting issue, and I could make this go away with a kill...restart cycle of elogd.

I downloaded the source code from here: https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html, selecting the elog-latest.tar.gz file.

I have tried viewing the elog on 3 different browsers (firefox, IE, Edge), result is the same every time.

Any thoughts about what the problem is?
