Re: Unable to resize images in browser

Matthew Deller wrote:

I am unable to resize/ manipulate images in browser. Image Magick detected Version: ImageMagick 6.6.9-7 2012-08-17.

Output when running elog with verbose option shows buffer overflow when resize attempted:

[[Going to execute: /bin/sh -c "identify -format '%wx%h %c' '/home/elog/elog-2.9.2/logbooks/HardwareLog/140218_120423_2014-02-18_remod_(extended_II).png.png'" > /tmp/elog-shell 2>&1
Falling back to default group "elog"
Falling back to default user "elog"
*** buffer overflow detected ***: elogd terminated

Any ideas how to fix this? I'm not sure if this is a problem with the elog / Ubuntu / Image Magick?

What happens if you execute the command manually, like

$ identify -format '%wx%h %c' '/home/elog/elog-2.9.2/logbooks/HardwareLog/140218_120423_2014-02-18_remod_(extended_II).png.png

The "identify" command just checks the size in pixels of your image and expects something like 800x600. Let me know if this command returns something completely different.

Re: Export entries to XLS or CSV?

Yes, you're right: the text field is only exported in XML and Raw mode.

It is questionable how EXCEL should cope with HTML or ELCode output from the text fields.

But I admit that this would be a useful feature for logbooks that only use plain text entries. And it is simple to implement.

I've attached a patch to elogd.c from elog-2.9.2-2081 that adds a third CVS mode 'CSV (";" separated) + Text'.

(This string has not yet been added to the localization.)

As far as I've tested it works fine to import the text to OpenOffice and EXCEL, even with multiple text lines and HTML code in the text.

Of course the spreadsheet programs just display the HTML source.

Stefan, do you think this should be added to the official branch?

Hi Jim, can you confirm that this works for you? If so, I'm willing to incorporate the patch into the distribution.

Has this been added yet?

I don't have the means to create an executable for Windows, if someone does I can give it a try...it sounds/looks like it will work.

Thanks!

Hi Jim, I've incorporated the patch to our production server about a week ago.

I've agreed with Stefan that he'll add it, when it proved to run stable for a while.

Until now it appears to work fine. I think Stefan will add it to the distribution soon.

But I won't touch any Windows systems, you'll need to wait for someone else to compile it for you.

Maybe some skilled Windows user want to give it a try: i've attached the changes in the elogd.c file from v2.9.2-2481,

the modified file can be currently downloaded from http://people.web.psi.ch/luedeke/public/tmp/elogd.c

Re: Google Places API AutoComplete

Garret Delaronde wrote:

G'day everyone.

Looking for some input on this idea.

I work for an organization which uses elog extensively for day to day operations.

In several of our logbooks we use a "location" attribute where we would enter an address or intersection.

I am working with the google places api and am able to create the auto complete form in a separate html page, but am interested if anyone has a good direction how i could change the input box into the google map autocomplete search box.

I have the code already for the api search box. but when i add it to the config it doesn't really do anything different.

Attached is the html file i setup with the api code.

the autocomplete works great, now i just want it to work in elog.

Any help is much appreciated!

And perhaps the Elog Powers that be might be interested in making it a function down the road? :)

Looks like a nice idea. You can sneak in any JavaScript code into elog pages with the "Top text" option. Like

Top text = <script>window.onload = function() {...}</script>

Then you parse the DOM tree to find your input field for the location, and attache your JS code to it. All the input fields have the "name" attribute in the HTML code set, so it should be easy to find the input field in the DOM tree.

Re: How to upload several images at once

Alejandro Gomez wrote:

I just want to know if there is a way to upload a bunch of images at once. I need to upload ~50 images per day and of course it is really tedious.

Thanks!!

The "standard" HTML protocol does not allow multiple selection of images. You can use the "elog" command-line utility to upload images from the terminal window. We plan in the summer this year a switch to HTML5, which does allow upload of multiple images plus a drag-and-drop functionality.

Re: New entries remotely?

Hi all,

I would like to create a new entry remotely.

I would like that when the macro run, the macro automatically create a new entry in my Elog.

I was searching, but i don't saw any thing about this.

Is possible to do a new entry remotely?

Thanks for all.

Use the "elog" command line utility as described here under tips & tricks: http://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html

Thanks! but I'm lost in the themes/default/default.css file.... which is the entry I have to edit for the style of the body text (Format "Normal") of the elog pages?

Sara

Just change the body { } entry in the CSS file. Here is a good tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_syntax.asp

Re: Sort by date prior to 2002

Andreas Luedeke wrote:

Chris Jennings wrote:

I have an attribute formatted as a date (but not labeled as date) and is sorted as second priority. The sort works fine until I enter a date older than Jan 1st 2002. When I do this it is sorted as the latest. Is this a bug or simply not designed to use dates this old?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Sorry, my mistake. The cutoff date is anything before September 9th 2001 does not sort.

I think I remember that this has been discussed earlier: it is a little bug in elogd.

You can see where it comes from if you type in the little command 'date -d "9-Sep-2001 3:46:40" +%s'

Converted to "seconds of the epoche" (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) the date "9-Sep-2001 3:46:40" has one digit more than "9-Sep-2001 3:46:39".

Since elog makes a string comparison, suddenly 1'000'000'000 is less than 999'999'999; therefore the wrong sorting.

Workaround: you can modify your old entries and add a leading zero to all entries where your specific date field starts with a '9'.

Stefan: you should fix it at least well before 20-Nov-2286 18:46:40, when the same bug strikes again!

Ok, well before 2286 approaches I fixed that bug and committed it to the GIT repository (master branch).
