Dear ELOG users,
this is to announce an important security update. As proposed by Lukasz Olejnik (CERN/PSNC), ELOG has now switched to strong encryption of password. So everybody concerned in security is advised to update to the new version 2.8.0. Existing password files for Windows users and Linux users not using HAVE_CRYPT are automatically converted. Those installations which used HAVE_CRYPT in the past under Linux have to ask their users to re-enter their password (via the link "Forgot password") after the upgrade to version 2.8.0.
Best regards,
Stefan Ritt

I just realized that the command line elog utility did not yet use the new encryption. So automatic elog submissions using passwords are broken in version 2.8.0. I made an intermediate version 2.8.0-2 which fixes that. However you only need to update it if you use the elog utility and have problems with the 2.8.0 version. |

 | Kontantin Olchanski | olchansk@triumf.ca | Question | Linux | 2.8.0 | elog keeps recreating preview .png files? |
Hi, I rsync an elog database from CERN to TRIUMF every few months and I notice that rsync keeps copying preview files (xxx.png.png, xxx.gif.png, etc) from very old entries. I guess that elogd creates these files from scratch each time they are needed, overwriting any previously existing preview files. This creates extra rsync network traffic and rsync takes longer to complete. Is there any way to avoid this? K.O.

| Kontantin Olchanski | olchansk@triumf.ca | Bug report | Linux | unknown | elog editor loses all text |
I just typed a long text into this elog, clicked "submit" and it bombed with "you must select an Icon", returned me to the editor with all my text gone gone gone. I do not want to select icons, I just want to report a problem with elog. Well, 2 problems, now.
K.O.

There is sometimes a problem with substitutions like "Execute delete = echo $message id".
It seems the problem is that if you delete a logbook entry that is not created with the current logbook attributes, the substitution variables are replaced with the variable name, and not the variable value.
In this example, according to the log file it becomes SHELL "message id" instead of SHELL "234", if the logbook entry is 234.

I tried to reproduce it, but it always worked for me. So I need a step-by-step instruction from you on how to reproduce the problem, ideally starting from the demo logbook from the distribution. Only if I can reproduce the problem, I will be able to fix it.
|
It is of course my job to reproduce it (and explain how-to). Thanks for your consideration. |

Ok, I implemented
Sort attribute options = 1
in the current SVN revision.
|
I've tried adding this statement to my cfg file but the attributes are still unsorted in the QuickFilter menus. Was this implemented in 2.7.7?
Shouldn't an existing configuration file entry like
Options Type = C, D, A, B
be sorted in the QuickFilter menu as A B C D?
|
You need revision 2252 or later. So you have to upgrade to 2.7.8.
|
We have upgraded to 2.7.8 but this still doesn't seem to work. The quick menus are still unsorted. Does it work for you?
|
Sorry, there was a typo, you need
Sort attribute options <attribute> = 1
where <attribute> is the name of the attribute to be sorted (in case you want some attributes sorted, but not all).
|
That did the trick. That was a good idea, to give us the option of which attributes to sort, too. Thanks again for adding this feature! |

I wondered if there was a config line that enabled/disabled the forward and backward navigation keystrokes that were implemented in 2.7.0?
The current definitions (Control-PgUp/PgDown/Home/End) interfere with those keys I use to navigate between tabs in Firefox. It'd be nice if they could either be turned off.. or redefined.
|
They are defined in
<ELOG directory>\scripts\elcode.js
Just go to the browse(evt) function and redefine or remove them there.
|
Got it to work as desired.
Thanks for your help and your quick response. |
