New elog setting for large attachments, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Mar 26 16:32:43 2018
|
Most mail delivery systems have a maximum size for attachments. In the past, if an elog attachment was larger than this size, the email server refused
to accept this email and no notification is sent. Now one can specify the maximum allowed email attachment size with
Max email attachment size = <n> |

Problem with special character "č", posted by Matej Sedej on Fri Feb 16 09:18:56 2018

Hello!
First of all, thank you for this great piece of software! For now it seems to perfectly cover our need to log very basic events, there was a
setting for everything we wanted to set. |

I see the same problem exists on this board as well. Actuall it appears only the attribute fields are affected. The č character was incorrectly
written to the log file from the subject field above, but correctly from the body text below.

Actually unicode characters are converted by your browser into HTML code (such as Č) where 268 decimal = 10C hex. elog just writes to file what
it gets from the browser. When an existing elog entry gets shown by the browser, the code is translated back to the character. Why do you care what is
written to the log file? If you use scripts or so to parse your log files, you have to adapt them to correctly decode HTML encoded characters. This is |

In the attribe filed, HTML code is not allowed for security reasons. If you want to bypass this (on your own risk), put
allow html = 1
into your config file. |

I had time to look at the problem in detail. I found that a &#xxx; sequence is not correctly identified as HTML code, and thus displayed in plain
when used in an attribute. I fixed it in the current git revision and now it looks find in attribute (see attachment). Can you give it a try? Please note
that you need "Allow HTML = 1" in your config file. |

Great news Stefan! Please pardon my ignorance, but I was not able to "make" it. I have no idea how to run this on Windows where the current
POC log resides. |
|
Re: Problem with special character "č", posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Mar 16 14:35:05 2018

Easiest is to install the Cywgin environment (www.cygwin.com) and there select the C compiler package which installs also "make".

Phew, made it, sort of. Had to copy the contents of the mxml folder from an older version, the folder was empty in this git. I also had to change the
SSL to 0 and then it compiled without errors plus I had to copy the cygwin1.dll to the folder to make the service run.
So yes, I can confirm that manually inputting the Č in the attribute field now works correctly. Excellent! This solves the pink problem |

Pink problem: Yes the CSV export preserves the html tags, but what to do. CSV files are plain text with 8 bit characters. Unicode characgers have to
be represented with more than one byte. So either HTML encoding or some special escape sequence encoding. If you like the second better than the first,
I'm sure you find some conversion program on the internet. |

That's great, Stefan, it works indeed. I tried fiddling around a bit with different charsets but haven't been succesful yet. I'll play around
some more.

Have you configures user-level access via

Can your elogd server write to that file?
If yes, can you please post your config file? |

I'm afraid that there is something wrong because each user will be written with the same (hashed) password to the local password file,
irrespective of the given password within the "new User dialog".
So for instance, every user in my password file lokks like this: |

The message is not lost, but becomes a "draft". This works similar in most email systems. When you edit an email and son't send it, it
stays in your "draft" email folder and does not show up in your "sent" folder. Same here. You are suppost to "submit" you
entry, the "save" is just a temporary safety backup. If you do not submit (if you press BACK or your browser crashes), the entry is not submitted |

We installed our elog from .apk in November 2017.

I suppose it already contains List drafts feature. |

The -bd... number must be from the .apk package, which I don't have control over. You have to check the elog git hash code. You see it at the bottom
of each elog web page. For this forum server, it's ELOG V3.1.2-7933898 with
7 digit number at the end. |

Do you recommend to download it again from your site and compile?

Hi Stefan,
I think there is a misunderstanding: there is an ELOG commit with the GIT ID bd75964.
It is from Sep. 2016,
so: Peter, you should download a newer version.

Hi Yves,
just my two pence, maybe they help you to figure out what's going on:
versions 2.* had all entries of one
logbook in one directory. Version 3.* create a subdirectory for each year. This had been added for me: if you use AFS for logbook storage, then you have
a limit on how many files you can put into a single directory.
So the first time you start elogd 3.* with data from an elogd 2.* it should |

Thanks - you pointed me in the right direction. It appears that my logbooks were a combination of the two versions. I had all the year-directories
(version 3) but also all the entry files in the main logbook directory. Seems version 2 does not care but version 3 does not like it. After carefully checking |

Drafts are message which somebody started to edit, but did not complete, like leaving the page without saving. If you don't like this, you can set
"save drafts = 0".
