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? |

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? |

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

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

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.

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

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?

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). |

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. |

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 |

Unable to add entries with command line elog.exe with SSL, posted by Antonio Bulgheroni on Fri Jun 28 17:00:10 2019

Dear all,
we have a running elog installation using SSL (with the self-signed certificate). Generally we use the web interface, but we have been asked
if it was possible to automatically insert elog entries via command line. |

I am using SSL with ELOG and it works fine with the "elog" executable. I am no expert on SSL, but I can provide my two cent what you could
try, maybe it helps:
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 |

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. |
restrict edit time, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Mon Jul 15 17:35:48 2019

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: |

tags, posted by Lech on Wed Aug 7 02:57:55 2019

Hello,
Is it possible to create tags for new entries in elog? I understand it would have to be some kind of mix between Extendable options and moptions.
Currently, whatever is entered in extendable options forms one option, while usually for tags, words separated by # form different tags. As usual with |

Re: tags #testtag, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Aug 7 17:16:30 2019

While tags are not explicitly foreseen, you can use moptions and filter with them. Look at this logbook for example: Click on "Find", then
select one or more boxes of the "OS" attribute, and you will see the filtering. Another option is to use freetext in the subject for example.
I added "#testtag" in this subject, so you can search for the text "#testtag" and will find this entry. |
Calculations & Interfacing a DataBase with Elog., posted by John on Sat Jun 22 06:52:32 2019

Hi, I am trying to calculate two or more Elog fields and then return the value to Elog. I am currently learning Perl to do this. I realize JS can do
this.. but so can IBM Basic ;) I am savy with other db techniques like sql. My question is before I get too far along with this project, is it safe
to say the current storage of Elog data is 'Flat File' database? I also want to find out if it would be better to try and grab the data prior OR |
|
Re: Calculations & Interfacing a DataBase with Elog., posted by Stefan Ritt on Sat Jun 22 10:07:08 2019

Yes elog stores data in a flat file database. Go to your logbook directory and look for files YYMMDDa.log where you find all data. Some people do a post
submit call to scripts, other integrate JS directly on each page (e.g. via "bottom text" option where you can load a whole JavaScript file),
then pick the fields and do calculations directly in the edit window. |

Re: enable batch file execution, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Jan 28 18:17:15 2015

Modify the server start command in the Windows Registry. Or start the elogd server directly in a command window with "elogd -x", after "cd"
to the elog installation directory.

I meant to use it instead of ELOG. Spreadsheets allow calculaiton of dates, etc. So you can achieve what you need. Again: WHAT

I have not tried these, but since CKeditor works so well, you may want to consider taking a look at integrating jQuery Calx or jExcel...just for fun.
