icon5.gif   Cannot connect to server of Gmail SMTP, posted by Kevin Wang on Sun Oct 6 20:25:27 2019 
Hi all,

When I tried to set SMTP server of Gmail in the global configuration file, I get the message "Error sending Email via <i>"smtp.gmail.com"</i>:
Cannot connect to server" after I tried to receive the Email notification. Is there anyone gives help to solve this issue?
    icon2.gif   Re: Cannot connect to server of Gmail SMTP, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Oct 7 08:54:32 2019 
Gmail uses a type of SMTP authentication which is currently not supported by elog. It's however on the todo list.

Hi Stefan,

 

Thank you very much for your reply. So which SMTP type can I use now? Is outlook OK?
          icon2.gif   Re: Cannot connect to server of Gmail SMTP, posted by John on Tue Oct 8 06:47:27 2019 
This is a local issue  on your network, if you have a mail server setup. SMTP is not handled directly by Elog and neither is any other mail protocal.
Elog just sends the requested email to your server for processing to the recipients afaict. And whatever server (or service) you use to handle email sending
needs to be able to accept them from your mail server. So after verifying which ones  you want to use; (like OutLook, or gmail, or whatever), then

Hi everyone.

We are new in ELOG. We have installed it and created new logbooks following the "demo" one. We have configured our SMTP host, with
email and pass, but we obtain this error when submit

If you post the [global] part of your configuration, it would help a little bit to understand the problem.

Cheers, Andreas

Elog supports only a limited set of authentications for SMTP. Both GMail and probably also your server requires more advanced authentication schemes,
which are not suppoerted by elog. Sorry.

Sorry,

Could you please tell us a MAIL SMTP SERVER we can use to try?

Many thanks
                   icon2.gif   Re: Cannot submit due to authentification errors, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Aug 28 17:59:17 2019 
Sorry, but I would think that this is a question for the IT department of your institute, not for the ELOG forum.

Since you have an institute email address (infoval@aemet.es NOT xxx@gmail.com), you certainly have your own mail server, or am I wrong?

Cheers, Andreas
icon5.gif   Drag and drop does not work in 3.1.3?, posted by Lech on Tue Aug 20 09:47:06 2019 
Hello,

I can paste images into text (which resulted in the text_size too long error message), however, I can't drop them on my elog. However, I
can do it on the demo version. Was the drag and drop into text already supported in version 3.1.3 and I am just missing some configuration option, or do

The Drag & Drop was implemented already in 3.0.0 (see https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/ChangeLog).
So no idea why it's not working for you.

Thank you. Locally doesn't work for some reason... I'll try to investigate.

Btw. do you plan to properly accept pasting of images? Pasting a screenshot saves a lot of time when making logs.

> Btw. do you plan to properly accept pasting of images?

I would claim it is already properly supported. If you hit a size limit you can configure your ELOG to adjust the limit (Max content
length).
                   icon2.gif   Re: Drag and drop does not work in 3.1.3?, posted by Lech on Wed Aug 21 02:21:57 2019 
From what I've read in a past post, it is hitting the max content length because pasting, unlike dropping, is not properly supported and it is possible
that images get converted to text in some way and occupy a lot of "content length". So what I mean is that the pasted image is handled the same
way as the dropped image.
                      icon2.gif   Re: Drag and drop does not work in 3.1.3?, posted by Lech on Wed Aug 21 07:00:17 2019 
I've discovered, that if I switch my local elog to SSL, dropping of images starts to work (as expected). However... pasting stops. If I select "paste"
popup, I got the message about my browser security settings not allowing to paste, and that I can paste in the popup window. In Firefox I can actually
paste in the popup window (image appears there), but after clicking OK nothing appears in the editing window. In Chrome and Opera nothing appears even

if it was possible to automatically insert elog entries via command line.

SSL desires to run on the port 443 - I have no idea if you can force it to run on an arbitrary port, it might be possible. But does it

Dear Andreas,

thanks for your message.

Here are the answers to your questions.
             icon2.gif   Re: Unable to add entries with command line elog.exe with SSL, posted by Antonio Bulgheroni on Thu Aug 15 19:00:12 2019 
So as promised, I add some more information. 

Unfortunately changing the port where the server is listening did not make any change. The situation is still the same. If I try directly from
the server, I get a warning about the fake certificate and if I do it from elsewhere, I get the error that the server is not running SSL.

Hello,
I have experienced some inconveniences with the restrict edit time option.

First, it is not possible for admin users to edit an entry after the edit time.

Yes, I agree that cleaning up old Draft entries and correcting/deleting old entries is a job for the administrator. Currently I do what you've said:
commenting out "restrict edit time", changing the entry, commenting in "restrict edit time".

There are already some commands specifically for the admin:
