I moved my elog install to a new box on short notice due to an emergency, everything works but none of the passwords are recognized, and are not using what it set in elogd.cfg. any ideas ?

You did not specify which version of elog you were using. There was recently an update which uses a new format in the password file. When you start this the first time, the program should convert automatically from the old format to the new format and thus increasing security. If this does not work for some reason, so can do password recovery using the "Forgot password?" link in the login page.

Re: Cleaning up attachments

Louis de Leseleuc wrote:

I noticed a behavior that might be irritating.

After attaching/uploading files to an entry and before submitting it, one might press 'Back' or close the browser window.

This in effect cancels the entry and sends into oblivion. HOWEVER the attachments and their thumbnail files remain on the server forever.

Would there be a way to either delete attachments after some time if they don't show up in an entry? Or some other magic trick with the browser? My logbook directories are already full of orphan files that I need to seek and destroy.

Also, any thoughts on automatically cleaning up a logbook directory when the damage is done?

Louis

Well, this is not so easy. When you leave the browser (via 'Back' or just by closing), it has no way to communicate with the elog server. I could put in some JavaScript, but if people switch off JavaScript there is no way. On the other hand it might be simple to write just a little shell script, which goes through all files on the server and checks if the file name occurs in some elog entry. This can probably be done with some combination of "find" and "grep", but I'm not a shell script expert.

I don't know the reason why eLog can have the same username.

And what should I do to prevent these things happen?

Thanks for reporting that bug. It has been fixed in SVN revision 2404.

Re: Creating a form or table

Terry Shuck wrote:

Is there a way to open a form or table when clicking on New rather than going to a text field? Thanks, TS!

The HTML editor contains a table editor such as this:

this	is
a	table

Just click on the menu with the little table icon

Re: Mail are no longer sent from the logged in user in 2.9.0

Olivier Callot wrote:

We upgraded to Elog 2.9.0-2402 and since then mails sent by Elog when posting an item are from the default account, not from the logged in user's mail address.

The configuration is, for the mail part :

Default Email From = Olivier.Callot@cern.ch

Use Email Subject = ELOG Computing Operations - $Subject ($Site - $System - $Production number)

Thanks for telling me which flag/option I have to set to restore the proper mail 'From:' field.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I have fixed it in SVN revision 2407.

Re: Authentication error message

soren poulsen wrote:

It is very good to have Kerberos authentication available. It is just the error message which is a bit cryptic.

If you enter your Kerberos password once, and later fail to authenticate with a wrong password, you get:

Kerberos error:
Decrypt integrity check failed.
Please check your Kerberos configuration

That is not really urgent!

Soren

Can you tell me how to reproduce this? If I do it here, I just get back to the login page:

Maybe it has to do with your specific Kerberos implementation? What server are you using?

Hi Terry,

it is not exactly clear to me what you want.

You can define many different types of attributes to an entry.

Like this logbook has "Icon", "Author", "Author Email", "Category", ...

That automatically creates a form for the input.

Or you can have some pre-filled text in the text area, like a pre-defined table.

E.g. with the following line:

Preset Text = input-form.html
Every new entry will now contain the content of the file input-form.html

which could be some table or list, ...

Thank you very much for your replies Stefan and Andreas!

I've played with the Preset Text = input-form.html however when I open a new form it just has text in there stating "input-form.html. I feel like I'm missing a way for the Configuration to find my html file.

I feel like I am close but I'm missing one piece of data. Here is what I'd like to have, when I click "New" I'd like this table to be automatically inserted in the body.

Time	Town/Location	Shift Change Description	CRM 701	Author	Receipt

Thanks again, Terry

If you see only the file name it means that elogd cannot find the file, it's probably in the wrong directory. Have you put it into the "logbooks" directory? Like c:\Program Files\ELOG\logbooks\ ?
