Does this occur if you are adding an attachment?  As I am blessed with forever using ancient systems, I've seen fields and indeed text  being cleared  because they were entered between clicking on 'Upload' for an attachment and the .png files being generated and displayed.  Answer here is patience - I use all too much of mine up in this exercise, sadly.

 Well, this is a choice. But if the encoding of the entry is 'plain', you could just avoid checking for embeded HTML. We use the summary view constantly for our main experiment logbook. Thanks anyway.

I have not heard of that problem before.

The key to fix is to reproduce it, then teach me how to reproduce it. Only errors I can reproduce on my computer I am able to fix.

That's a feature

In the summary view, I cannot use any HTML code, since it will screw up the table layout. Therefore elog searches for any "<" and ">" pairs and removes the text in between. In principle one could do a better job, but I do not want to write a complete HTML interpreter just for that purpose. 

In the summary view, it seems that the text is truncated at the first "<" character. See https://lblogbook.cern.ch/Shift/48812 for a simple entry, then use the 'list' command to see that only a very small part is displayed.

Saving, using Submit sees recently updated fields cleared after hitting SUBMIT.

MOre significantly this then leads to a proliferation of instances of the same record being generated in the logfile and consequently on the logbook.

Has anybody a fix or advice on this?

Hi.

I'd like to use elog as a tool ta keep my notes, links, passwords... It's installed on my personal computer at home (Debian Squeeze), behind a Ip-Cop firewall, so I guess it won't be accessible from anywhere outside. But I'd like to protect the log with a password anyway. BTW, I had some hard time figuring out how to configure the different files for french (there was a problem with UTF8 mixing up with Latin1... I recoded the language file to UTF8 to solve it).

I followed the procedure described here, but I have a problem with second stage :

• I set Password file = elog.pwd in the elog.conf file (it's not elog.cfg on Debian...)
• I restart the daemon
• I try to login to http://localhost:8080/, and receive the message : "error opening the file elog.pwd"

I get this message even after :

1. adding my user account to the elog group
2. launching Epiphany as root

So I guess I have to create (how ???) the file elog.pwd, which, if I understand correctly, can be empty at the start... But where do I save it ?

Thank you for any help, and sorry if I'm a little confused. I had hard time figuring out where to find everything.

 Hi,

I have Ghostscript 9.05 and ImageMagic 6.7.5 Q16 installed with the last ELOG version in a windows 7 OS. When I try to attach a pdf file and then create thumnails of the file, I am only able to create the first 8 pages instead all document. I have try to change the parameter Thumbnail size  but with any sucess. However, If after create the thumnail I modify manually the size, all thumnails are creaed.

Thank you so much!!

Diego
