When you submit a "normal" elog entry, you can click on "Choose file" to add an attachment. On a mobile device, you will then be asked to select a photo from your library or take one with your camera. You can do the same on a custom form. You have to extract the code from the normal submissoin form and program it on your custom page. It needs however some work and might not be straight forward.

Hi,

I am trying to implement a Custom input forms by following this  https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Contributions/49. Is there a way to also insert an image or files to it? I want to take a snap from the iPad and want that to go as an attachment or attach a file(s) into the form. Is there a way to do that?

Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Regards,

sjena

Ok, I fixed the code in the current commit (395e101add19f0fe8a11a25d0822e511f34d94d1). The path gets stripped, and we see a

I can confirm this issue exists on version 3.1.3, which I have installed elog on Debian 10.

The issue also exists on version 3.14 (1.20190113git283534d97d5a.el7), which I tested on an AmazonLinux EC2 instance.

This is what I found:

1. if I leave out the extension at the end of the URL for a non-existent page, it gives me the red error box. So far so good... Example: /gibberish

2. if I include any random extension at the end of the URL for a non-existent page, it gives me the red error box. So far so good... Example: /gibberish.php or /gibberish.htm or /gibberish.asdfasd

3. if I include any .html extension specifically at the end of the URL for a non-existent page, elog exposes the path /usr/share/elog/themes/default/gibberish.html. This is a bug... Example: /gibberish.html exposes the path, and likewise, /.gibberish.html ( "dot" + gibberish) exposes the path

4. if I include a valid, existent .html file which is located in the directory /usr/share/elog/themes/default/, and call it, elog exposes the html document. Example: I created an html file called gibberish.html (containing <html><body><p>Hello world</p></body></html>) in my system's /usr/share/elog/themes/default/ directory. After navigating back to the /gibberish.html URL, I was presented with the HTML file.

Turning on -v (verbose mode), the response by elogd when accessing these are: "GET /elog/gibberish.html HTTP/1.0 Returned 605 bytes" (displays "Hello world" html file), and "GET /elog/gibberish.asdfasd HTTP/1.0 Returned 605 bytes" (displays red error box).

=====

My guess: the program seems to be caring about the files ONLY if they have html file extension. Please see the screenshots below.

====

What are the security implications? Not much, I think. From what I can tell, exposing the "/usr/share/themes/elog" path, and also exposing the elog version when the file does not exist. Hope this reply helps anyone else with the same question.

(I am sure the error exposing the version can be removed by editing the source code--this is probably beyond my capabilities at this point).

Well, you could put the old options back to the config file, do the export, then remove them again.

But have a look at the Elog database files ZZMMDDa.log in your logbook directory, they are pure ASCII files, which are relatively simple to parse.

Hi John. The problem with using the Find-->Export method is that some of the Attributes for the older data are no longer shown on that screen because the Config file has since changed. That's why I'm contemplating somehow parsing the log files directly instead.

Have you tried to restart the elogd server? The CLOSE_WAIT could be dangling network connections, which were not properly closed by the browser.

We run elog on a server to provide a logbook for our laboratory. We noticed that elog is very slow on loading pages: browser pages spend a lot of time in charging (actually one can speed the procedure refreshing the page but it is quite annoying).

I checked the server load with top and it doesn't show any abnormal CPU or memory usage. Then I ran lsof and I noticed that there are more than 200 entries related to the same elog PID and labelled with CLOSE_WAIT.

My questions are: can the slowness of my logbook be due to the presence of all these CLOSE_WAIT entries (which seems if I understood well wait for a response)? If it's the case, how can I solve this issue?

Thanks

Unfortunately you have to name these top groups differently, because they are internally used for the database name.

I have built different top groups for different departments. But occasionally these different top groups have the same logbook name, say 'Maintenance Log'. So is there a way I can have the same logbook name under different 'Top Groups', rather than rename these logbooks as 'Department1 Maintenance Log' all the way to 'Department_X Maintenance Log'?

That's correct.

Usually a restart of the elogd server helps. If the problem persists, one of the logbooks might be corrupt. Try to disable one logbook at a time to figure out which one it is. Then 
remove that one and set it up freshly.
