Use X-Forwarded-User as preset in author field, posted by Stefano Lacaprara on Tue May 16 10:21:18 2017

Hi,
I have an elog server which uses apache/ldap for authentication.
I would like to have the username used for ldap to be set automatically as author field in the elog.

Limiting search data, posted by Alan Grant on Thu Apr 27 22:21:03 2017
|
I'm aware there is the "Show Last Default" setting for the Find page but is there (or can there PLEASE be) a similar setting for the Period
filter on the List page? Our users routinely use the Quick Filters instead and it bogs down the system because we have lots of logbooks. Many thanks. |

Re: Limiting search data, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Apr 28 08:15:56 2017

I don't get your point. If you go on the list page of this forum, you see -- all entries -- in the period quick filter, but you only see one page
of entries, which is rather quick. This can be changed wiht "Entries per page", which defaults to 20. Do you have a different set-up?

I think I understand the question (although I have no answer):
When someone uses the "Find" page search, then there is an option to limit the search to e.g. the last year. If you search for a non
existing string, it'll only search entries from the past year. |

Elog crashes with null Username, posted by Alan Grant on Sun Dec 18 08:51:47 2016

I haven't found any reporterd issues in the forum similar yet, but it appears there is a bug in Elog when logging into logbooks. If I leave Username
and Password null and click Submit the daemon crashes. We've been having this problem off and on and after some verbose logging level 3 I was drawn
to these recurring lines in the log: |

Ups. This bug must have lingered there since the beginning of time. Funny that nobody noticed in the last ten years or so. I have fixed it in the current
git revision.

Thanks for the speedy fix.
FYI, our other Elog instances which are running ealrier versions do not exhibit this problem, as I confirmed that entering null
ID/password returns "Invalid Username or password" as expected. This may be why it wasn't mentioned by anyone else before. Maybe something |

How can i configure eLog to be used completely anonymous without the need to log in?
I tried menu and guest menu settings without luck. I do not use password files. With earlier versions this was easy to set up...

Sure. Just remove "Password file = ..." and any guest menu.

Does not work.

Version 2.9.2 is hopelessly outdated. Please upgrade to the current version on bitbucket. You also might have to delete any cookie in the browser sent
to the elog server.

rename menu commands , posted by Francois Cloutier on Tue Apr 11 17:24:48 2017

Hi !
I do have an setup were I would like to rename the menu command but keeping their fonction. Namely, I would like to rename the "copy to"

Hi,
First up, the Copy command is supposed to be used to copy to another log book, as it says in the documentation, not a duplicate entry in the
same logbook. I've tried doing a copy into the same logbook, it appears to work (although I don't know about every circumstance, I just did |

Hm, maybe my question is silly, but why don't you just use the "Duplicate" command instead of renaming and misusing "Copy to"??
Here is the relevant excerpt from the documentation (https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#general):

command line and apache+ldap authentication, posted by Stefano Lacaprara on Thu Apr 6 17:36:46 2017

Re: command line and apache+ldap authentication, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Apr 7 12:16:24 2017

Hi, the elog command line client does not know anything about Apache authentication, therefore the authentication with the elog username/password fails.
As an alternative to the command line client you can use the "curl" utility (available under Linux). This tools has the "-u" flag,
which works with Apache. The tricky thing is now to "emulate" your browser submitting an entry. You can do |

Elog not see image magick, posted by Daniel Sajdyk on Wed Nov 30 14:32:00 2016

Hello.
I finally try add ImageMagick to ELOG.
I downloaded latest version (ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16) and installed it. Everything looks ok, but when I start Elog service it says that "ImageMagick |

The detection in elogd works by executing the command "convert" and check if the program executes. If you start elogd as a service, the program
might see another path variable. Maybe reboot Windows or start the service in the environment of a real user instead of system, where it might miss your
modified "path". |

Re: Elog not see image magick, posted by Daniel Sajdyk on Tue Dec 6 13:48:48 2016

Ok. It take me a while, but I reinstalled ImageMagick with marked option "convert". Now, when I start elog, it can see ImageMagick, but
screenshots attached to elog entries are still in original sizes. And, I don't see buttons for rotating, resizing images.
I look into elog cfg options, but only what I found is Thumbnail size which, it looks, don't work. |

Hi,
Maybe the post is outdated already, but I want to share my experience anyway. I faced the same problem as Daniel: The most recent ImageMagick
package was not detected by elogd even though it was installed. I could trace back the problem to the following issue: |

Re: Elog not see image magick, posted by christian on Mon Mar 27 12:42:07 2017

Update:
While the image scaling via ImageMagick works when running elog manually it doesn't when running elog as a service. The service
is hosted in the same user environment that allows image scaling with elog started manually. What else could go wrong? |
|
Re: Elog not see image magick, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Apr 5 13:16:34 2017

Must be your PATH environment variable. You have usually different paths when running interactively or as a service. Try to change the path seen by services,
or put the ImageMagick executable in the same directory as elogd.

Re: Elog not see image magick, posted by christian on Fri Apr 7 09:58:33 2017

This I do not fully understand: To my understanding the PATH environment variable (includes the ImageMagick path) is a system variable
and should be accessable from any account and should be valid under any conditions. Am I wrong? Additionally, I tried adding the system
Path variable to the user specific variables for that user that runs the service (Path = %Path%) in the system settings. Finally, I tried copying the imdisplay.exe |

I don't undersand myself fully how services see the environment. Like if they see the PATH at all. In some occations it helped to run the service
not under the SYSTEM account, but under the (admin) account of a real user.

Ah sorry. I recall now: Under Windows, calling subprocesses from a service does not work at all. After a couple of days of work I was not able to get
this running. If somebody has some idea, I'm happy to try it. So most people use the elogd daemon in the background only under Linux.

It's very simple, no need for the find command. E.g.: Start page = ?Author=luedeke&Category=Question&mode=summary
in this forum would do https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?Author=luedeke&Category=Question&mode=summary
