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Hi Andreas, I opted for the first solution since the Debian package, although outdated and broken, has some goodies like a systemd unit for managing the daemon which is very handy.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 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.

I am running elog under Apache as explained in the administrator's guide. Everything works fine, butmy IT service complains about the elog port being publicly exposed, so I have to fix this. As far as I understand when running under a reverse proxy there's no need for the port to be publiuclyexposed, but I cannot find how to configure the elog server to expose it only locally

Hey eloggers,

I am setting up an ELOG to log the cleanroom fabrication in our startup (Luxtelligence SA). The fabrication is structured in different process steps that are performed by several wafers at the same time (each wafer as an ID).

I am looking for an possibility to put a list of several integers as one of the attributes.

Here an example:

Does something like this exsist?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi John,

thanks for the info =). Do you known whether there is an example of how to use the list-boxes attributes?

Best,

Nick

Hey, 

thanks for your answer. I completely get your point. However, I think my question as not precise enough.

I would like to have a numeric input, but many at the same time. When I make a new post, I would like to have an attribute 'wafer_IDs' that specifies the list of wafers this process has been performed with. So for a single post I would like to have a list like this:

wafer_IDs = numeric value, numeric value, numeric value, extendable

Note: I am not referring here to the option. The numeric values are freely chooses numbers, the only this that varies from post to post is the number of numeric values put.

Let me make an example (If the attribute were a string this would be the equivalent):

1st post: A process that was run with 3 wafers (ID: 1000, ID: 1001 and ID: 1002):
wafer IDs = 1000, 1001, 1002

2nd post: A process that is run with 2 wafers (ID: 1000 and ID: 1002):
wafer IDs = 1000, 1002

The string solves the issue, but is not as nice as having directly a list of integers.

Thanks for your help!

Best,

Nick
