  69652   Tue Feb 28 18:21:01 2023 Question Illam Pakkirisamyillam@senseeker.comInfoWindows3.1.4Exporting the entries from ELOG

Hi,

Is there a way to export the ELOG entries into a file like an Excel sheet or something.  I see import but not export.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Illam

Hi I'm here again,

According to my conf file I run elog under a specified user and group different from root. So I copied the .pem file I obtained from certbot in /etc/ssl as well as /urs/local/elog/ssl and ssl folder in the user directory (I will call it <user-dir>) but when I launch elog I receive the error that cannot initialize SSL because the old self signed certificate server.crt in <user-dir>/ssl is not found.

I wonder where in elog.cfg or elsewhere is written that <user-dir>/ssl/server.crt must be usedand how to fix it

Thanks

Hi Laurent,

thanks very much! Probably I've copied the certificate in the wrong directory. I'll try ASAP

Hi Giuseppe,

The new certificate files should be copy under ssl folder (/usr/local/elog/ssl or /usr/share/elog/ssl by example, closed to templates and script directories) in place of the embedded (autosigned) certificate files enclosed with ELOG source.

It seems that there is no parameter to set a custom path.

SSL = <0 | 1>
Turn on Secure Socket Layer transport. If SSL is on, one can connect via https://... to the elogd daemon. If the URL = directive is used, make sure to use https://... instead of http://... there. The ELOG distribution contains a simple self-signed certificate in the ssl subdirectory. One can replace this certificate and key with a real ceritficate to avoid browser pop-up windows warning about the self-signed certificate. The default for this option is 0.

We obtained a certificate from let's encrypt in order to replace the self signed certificate provided with elog. We copied the new certificates replacing the older server.crt

The problem is that when restarted elog raises an error related to the fact it is looking for server.crt and it doesn't find it anymore.

I searched in elog config file in order to find a way to indicate the new certificate but I didn't find how to manage this issue.

Any suggestion?

Thanks !

Sometime I need to edit multiple values to add a new choice.
By exemple, if I add a new column "status" (open, closed...) , it's mandatory to use select menu to add the new value to existent entries.

With a lot of lines it's not possible to edit one by one.

If it works with a simple edit, then why don't you use that one to edit individual values. I checked and version 3.1.4 had already the same problem, so it was not newly introduced. I would have to invest a couple of hours to fix this issue correcly, which I simply don't have right now.

Thanks for your prompt help.
It looks good for text but I still have problem with "select" function (even in English).

If I use "select" menu :
- When multiple values are selected it indicates "only user - keep original values - can edit" (freshly created).




- When a single value is selected, it indicates "only user XXX can edit" where XXX is my truncated name (the first 4 letters).



After editing in with admin account the author is now my truncated name :



If I want to edit a single entry (without select menu) it works perfectly.

Thanks.

I checked and found that the bug which removed the main text was there since the beginning, but it's only triggered if you switch elog to French, it doesn't happen in the English version. I changed a bit the text processing so now it should work also in the French version.

I also changed the version number which is shown at the bottom to 3.1.5.

Hi,

I've just installed the news 3.1.5 version and I have 2 problems.
I don't know if it works with older versions because I started with latest.

- When using "select" menu then "edit" for multiple entries, the text is replaced with "- keep original text here -" instead of keeping the original values. Really annoying...







Another problem too, if I want to edit after, I have the error message "only author - keep original text here - can edit" although the author column is OK..
It looks like this problem is global and not only on text column.




- Version number is indicated "ELOG V3.1.4" instead of V3.1.5.

My config file :

[global]

I'm using Apache as reverse proxy with SSL and transparent Kerberos authentication (Microsoft Active Directory).

Thanks for your help.
