Thanks Stefan,
I checked in my ELOG folder and can't find the stunnel.cfg. Is that only available in Linux? Can you please recommend a third party SMTP server for me use to successfully enable mail notif via Windows OS. Thanks much
Cheers,
Raymund

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Windows | 3.1.1 | Re: log entries after a certain date not displayed - 3.1.1 | Besides the commen Andrea made I would like to add that you can convince elog to show all files if you simply restart it, then it will re-scan all files. But as Andreas said, if two elogd instances write to the same directory, you will get a mess with double IDs of entries.

Hi,
I'm having an issue with Elog 3.1.1 on windows 10 not displaying all log entries (after a certain date) in a logbook directory.
The logbook is saved in a Dropbox folder and the entries were created on a windows 8.1 PC with 3.1.1 also.
I created an entry in windows 10, this created a new log file (new day) with a duplicate ID, deleted the log file and then the windows 10 pc displayed all entries.
Is there any way to ensure Elogd picks up all log files ?
Thanks & Regards,
Mike

Nope. Too many other things to do during my "day job".

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Windows | 3.1.1 | Re: log entries after a certain date not displayed - 3.1.1 | Ah, I see another problem. The pre 3.1 version had all logbook files in one directory, and the 3.1 puts the files in one subdirectoy per year. On transition from 3.0 to 3.1, an automatic conversion is made, but only once. If you later add files into the root logbook directory, they will not be seen. So you have to move them manually into the right subdirectory.

Thanks very much for your comments. I will take a look at the mirror server functionality.
I have only been running one elogd at a time, restarting elogd (on Windows 10) doesn't seem to pick up the changes made on Windows 8.1 PC (stopped elogd after changes made and log file updated)

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Windows | 3.1.1 | Re: log entries after a certain date not displayed - 3.1.1 | Drafts are not shown in the list page, but you can browse directly to them, if you know their idea. They are also shown if you hit "new". Then a box comes up "You have unfished drafts, do you want to edit them?". This is the new draft feature introduced recently and a feature of elog.
But I guess you have a more general problem. You run two elogd severs, and you transfer information between the two servers via Dropbox. Elog is not made for that. Elog is a web server, so you don't have to transfer data via a could service (except maybe for backup). You can access your one and only elog instance from everywhere. Everything else will give you trouble.

Hi, I have noticed that if an entry is not submitted it is saved in a sub-folder (name is current ID number) eg http://localhost:8090/mike/23, while draft it doesn't appear in list page but you can browse directly to it.
When you update an entry on one server instance, if you then browse to the entry ID on the 2nd server instance it is draft. If you edit then submit the entry then appears in list page on 2nd server instance.
Thanks again.

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Request | Linux | V3.1.0-2411f95 | Re: Prefill attributes for new post | Put a "p" in front of the attribute, like "&pSubsystem=Vacuum". This is kind of an undocumented feature just for the experts ;-)
Johan Forsberg wrote: |
Hi all,
I have a use case for ELOG where I need to be able to "prefill" some attributes in the "cmd=new" form, based on the URL.
To illustrate, imagine a link that takes the user directly to the form for creating a new post, with the "Subsystem" attribute already filled out to "Vacuum".
Is this possible already? I've tried naively using URL parameters (e.g. "&Subsystem=Vacuum") but that does not work. If it's not implemented, I think it would be a useful feature to have (and quite important for my particular use case). I could create a new post first using the "elog" tool, with the desired attributes set, but it makes more sense to defer the actual creation of the post to the user, i.e. he/she might change their mind before pressing "submit".
Thanks,
Johan Forsberg, MAX IV Laboratory, Sweden

Hi again!
I've another need that you probably already thought of :)
I'd like to be able to efficiently monitor a logbook for changes (new or edited posts) somehow. The most reasonable way I've found so far is to periodically poll a search that looks for posts after the time of the last poll. But that might note be very efficient, especially if the polling period gets short (or number of clients grows).
Is there some other feature that could be used for this? I was thinking maybe the ETag or Last-Modified HTTP header field could be used to show changes to a logbook by just reading the headers, but it would also require HEAD request support which does not seem to be there.
Cheers,
Johan

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.1 | Re: drag and drop attachments not working with web server authentication | Have a look here: elog:68014
Devin Bougie wrote: |
Hello, The "Drop attachments here..." section does not work when using Webserver authentication. Both elog 3.1.1 (the binary RPM) and apache are running on EL6.6 and are configured according to the docs. Authentication works fine and the normal "Choose File - Upload" attachment table works fine. However, when dragging an attachment to the "Drop attachments here..." section the dashes on the border turn green but when dropping the attachment nothing happens. If we revert to File authentication, everything works fine. I don't see any errors in our elog or apache log files. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Devin |
