Re: WYSIWYG editor for Elog not working in Debian Jessie, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Nov 9 10:33:46 2015

Hi Nicola,
as Stefan pointed out: the debian package that you are using is from an outdated ELOG version and not supported anymore. I can't help you with that.
Is somebody out there that created a 3.1.x version debian package?
Cheers, Andreas

Hi Andreas, I opted for the first solution since the Debian package, although outdated and broken, has some goodies like a systemd unit for managing the daemon which is very handy. I downloaded FCKeditor 2.6.11 from SourceForge (after a long search, seems that CKeditor made its parent almost disappear from the web), unpacked it in the proper folder and not the WYSIWYG editor works. I have just a couple of minor issues: there is no attachment drop area (I had it in my old Debian 6 server) and the editor toolbar has an ugly "Windows 95" look; see the attached image. I can live with these problems but if the can be easily fixed then obviously I would do that, can you give me any hint? Thank you very much.

Hi Nicola,
this appears to be a particular problem of the specific (outdated) ELOG debian package.
But you could just download the FCKeditor directly and install it to the proposed location "/usr/share/fckeditor".
Or you download ELOG 3.1.1 and give it a try to install it with the makefile.
Cheers, Andreas

I suspect that this might be a Debian packaging issue; however no one replied to my help request on the Debian forums so I try posting the question also here. I insatlled Elog on my Debian Jessie machine, I can open it with a browser but when entering a new post just a simple plain text editing box is shown instead of the WYSIWYG editor, and no drag and drop area for attachments is shown. When I start the elog service with "systemctl start elog" I get this suspect message in the journal: "FCKedit NOT detected". Indeed, I see that the elog installation creates a symlink which I guess is supposed to point to the fckeditor installation, which nevertheless is missing:
root@static-3-080:/usr/share/elog/scripts# ll fckeditor
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 25 2014 fckeditor -> ../../fckeditor
root@static-3-080:/usr/share/elog/scripts# ll ../../fckeditor
ls: cannot access ../../fckeditor: No such file or directory
Is this a Deban misconfiguration or a bug in Elog? thanks

Hi Andreas, understood. I found a 3.1.0 package for Debian unstable but it won't install on Jessie since it depends on a newer version of openssl, and it seems to not have a systemd unit (not sure about that, though). I can live with my old version now that the WYSIWYG editor works, and in the meantime I'll keep my eyes open for a brave soul who would eventually package a newer elog version for Jessie.
Thanks again for the support.

Re: Paste figure from Clipboard, CKEditor 4.5.1 and Firefox 42, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Nov 10 14:08:47 2015

That seems a CKEditor problem. Can you see if it works on their site (ckeditor.com). The current version is 4.5.4. Maybe they fixed it. You can upgrade CKEditor yourself in elog by just copying the new verson over the old /elog/scripts/ckeditor directory.

I tried to paste an Image from Clipboard into the CKEditor 4.5.1. Unfortunatelly, that doesn't work. I used Firefox, version 42. When I looked in the javascript error console, it reported that "TypeError: b is undefined, ckeditor.js:1139:112". The variable d.config.filebrowserImageUploadUrl could not be found.
I set the variable in the file ckeditor-config.js in the folder scripts, but that didn't solve the problem. As far as I can tell, Pasting Image from Clipboard does not work in this forum neither, but I don't know whether this is in purpose.
Pasting via the button "Paste from Word" works as it inserts a 64base formated image, but that's not what I'm searching for. Also normal upload of files works fine and puts the file in the correct folder (logbook/year/)

Re: resending information confirmation box after refresh interval, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Nov 17 08:33:15 2015

Start with the demo example configuration, add one line after the other from your config, and figure out which is the offending statement in your config, then post a minimal configuration here which triggers the problem.

After submitting a new post, if the page is left completely alone,, it will after a few minutes prompt that the page needs to resend information.
This is the same prompt you'd get if you attempt to refresh a page that had session variables passsed to it. Example is attached.
Is there something in my config that could cause this? This is a fresh install of the latest verison however my elogd.cfg file has been migrated throuh many installs over many versions, so it's very possible this is something following along.
thanks.

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

I believe there is a stunnel port for Windows, but that's more for the experienced users. I guess there is no simple solution.

Re: log entries after a certain date not displayed - 3.1.1, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Nov 20 11:06:24 2015

Hi Mike,
I don't think that it is a good idea to have two elogd servers accessing the same files: that's what you are doing with the Dropbox folder, isn't it? ELOG is not made to be used like that.
If you want to share the same entries in different logbooks, then you should use the "mirror server" functionality in ELOG. Have a look at: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#mirroring
Cheers, Andreas

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
