We've upgraded our ELOG installation to v3, and we really like the new CKeditor. However, one of my users has noticed a problem when using Iframe HTML elements with CKeditor; namely that the HTML is not present when trying to edit the post, and saving the post erases the HTML. 
I was able to reproduce this fairly simply, by trying to embed a youtube video. I would create a new post, click the "Source" view in CKeditor, and paste something like the following:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RzZgFKoIfQI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Upon submission, this produces a totally normal .log file in the logbook directory, and the video is viewable on the ELOG page:

Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2014 15:52:20 -0800
Author: test
Type: General
Category: General
Subject: test
Attachment:
Encoding: HTML
========================================
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RzZgFKoIfQI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Then, upon hitting "Edit," I am greeted by a totally empty CKeditor window, and hitting "Source" does not display the original HTML. 
Any help is greatly appreciated!

PS: Including the first line of the logfile in this very post would cause the submitted post to be truncated for some reason, although the preview looked fine. Pasting it here also caused the log to end abruptly. The string is "(dollar sign)(at symbol)MID(at symbol)(dollar sign): 9"

Hi

I am trying to install to mac 10.10.2 - everything works almost fine, but when I issue the sudo make install I get

Installing example logbook to /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo
install: logbooks/demo/2001/011108a.log -> /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/2001/011108a.log
install: elogd.plist: No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 71

Any idea why ?

Thanks

Alex

Thanks! now install works fine - but I cannot find how to open and start writing- I do

/usr/local/sbin/elogd
elogd 3.0.0 built Feb 13 2015, 16:42:32 revision 21dc563
CKeditor detected
ImageMagick detected
Indexing logbooks ... done
Server listening on port 8080 ...

but nothing pops up...I mean it is not possible to run "offline" ie locally on my mac ?

Dear All,

I could not submit a new enetry to my logbook whenever restarting my laptop.  I am a new user to elog.

Attached is the screenshot of the error message and also there is "nobody" while I grep elog.

Any suggesstion will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

You should check if the directory /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo belongs to the right user and has the right write permissions.

Since the elogd process belongs to the user "nobody", the directory should best belong to "nobody" as well (or - not recommended - allows write access for "others")

Cheers, Andreas
