elogd crashes during Find and Mirror operations under MacOS, posted by Andreas Warburton on Sat Dec 24 10:40:00 2016

When installing ELOG 3.1.2 on my Mac Sierra (10.12.2) with the latest XCode 8.2.1, it seemed to install fine but for one warning when building elogd:
cc -O3 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -W -Wall -Wno-deprecated-declarations -DHAVE_SSL -I /opt/local/include -o elogd
src/elogd.c

I have no experience with ELOG on OSX, therefore I can only give very vague and indirect support (sorry).
I suggest that you first try
an installation without actual logbook data (just move it to a save place for a while). Does a "find" still crash elogd?
If elogd
is still crashing, you should prune your configuration until it stops crashing. Submit the smallest config here that still crashes the logbook.

The current GIT revision (c017d07) fixes the problem with
the strlcpy() function (macOS 10.12.2, XCode 8.2). Can you try if that fixes your other problems, too?
Plese remember to use the recursive clone to get that version: |

Thank you very much (both Andreas and Stefan)! The build now runs without warnings, and I am now able to do Find operations without crashes. I
still am having some issues with the synchronization, but I suspect that this is elog-content related, so will in the coming days do some more testing
from CERN (where I have higher bandwidth with my home institution in Canada). Incidentally, I had to add a line to Makefile in order to be able to |

Ah, thanks for telling me. I added that to the Makefile. I did not need this because I had in my .profiel following line
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/local/include
which I need also for other macports-based projects. But having this twice does not hurt. |

Gmail email smtp settings, posted by Devrim Esenturk on Mon Jan 2 16:32:18 2017

Hi all
I am trying to send email via Gmail smtp with no success. Elog uses port 25 which is not allowed. I need to use 587 or 465 ports to send mail.
How can I change the port? |

Elog source code giving errors when compiling about missing header files, posted by rahul bhandari on Wed Dec 21 20:15:19 2016
|
I downloaded the source code from the git repository which contained the new fix that was made for the missing username-crash error. I tried compiling
the elogd.c file using a GCC compiler and it gave an error about missing header files. It first gave an error about netdb.h file and when I commented that
header file call, it gave further errors for other header files. I do not really understand why it gives an error about that. |
|
Re: Elog source code giving errors when compiling about missing header files, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Dec 22 09:41:35 2016

You need the netdb.h header file to compile elog. I see that you compile under Windows. You have to make sure that your compiler installation comes with
all header files. The netdb.h file is usually in /usr/include under Unix.

elogd crash on sorting the entries by an datetime attribute, posted by stefano bonaldo on Thu Dec 15 11:12:09 2016

Hello,
I'm facing with a crash, which happen when I sort the entries by a datetime attribute (sort or rsort) and then i change the display
mode from Full, Summary and Threaded. |

Hello Stefan, thanks for your answer. So I made a new logbook, without entries. I generated, as you, two new entries and I discover that this problem
come out when in the URL the command for the sorting follow the command of the display mode. So for example the following URL give me the issue:

Ok I found it!
Was tricky. In my development environment (XCode) it worked fine. Only when I compiled elogd under Sierra on the command line, the probelm occured.
That's why I did not see it earlier. It has to do with some functions Apple apparently changed ("strlcpy"). These function now have a new |

Hi Stefano.
This may or may not have anything to do with your specific problem but I notice you have the single word "date" as part of your
attribute name and Date is actually a reserved word in Elog. Although your attribute is not exclusively called "date" I have found that |

Hello Alan,
I tried with a new logbook with an attribute without "date" name, but unfortunately I got the same error. Any other suggestions?

If you look into the documentationa at:

you will see that for Linux (as well asl MacOS) you need the libssl-dev packaged to be installed. There are many ways to install this on MacOS, |

Well, the MacOS section explicitly mentions the MacPorts installation.

I responded too quickly.
I already have openssl installed via macports (this is the "Mac version" of libssl-dev).
Does anyone know where exactly elog is looking for openssl/ssl.h? I have just updated Macports and upgraded to Sierra, so maybe it's |

On Sierra Macports install openssl in /opt/local/include/ , but copy it into /usr/local/include. You should able to fix it.
sudo cp -r /opt/local/include/openssl /usr/local/include/

On Sierre, /opt/local/include should be already included in the standar search path of the prprocessor:
/elog$ cpp -v

Currently, in my MacBook Pro with Sierre, the search path /opt/local/include of the prprocessor is not included.

[CODE]export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/local/include[/CODE]

Highlight code?, posted by Daniel Sajdyk on Tue Sep 6 13:35:05 2016

Hello :)
Is there any way to highlight code (for example php, SQL) in elogs entries?

You can manually highlight code,
but there is no automatic language parser.

Re: Highlight code?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Sep 6 14:02:56 2016

I did not know about highlight.js . You can put it into any elog page with "Bottom text = ...". I tried it for this forum and put in some C
code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
// printf() displays the string inside quotation
printf("C Programming");

Re: Highlight code?, posted by Daniel Sajdyk on Tue Sep 6 14:51:19 2016

Looks like it works :)
Code need to be put in tags:

|
Re: Highlight code?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Sep 6 15:29:22 2016
|
In the HTML editor, you can select the code text, then select from the "Styles" drop-down the style "Computer Code", and on the "Normal"
drop-down the formatting "Formatted". This puts the code in <pre> and <code> tags, so you don't have to manipulate
HTML directly. |

Can I ask for some clarification; I would like to include code highlighting for some computational students who will be making use of ELOG.
In the example you showed, my understanding is that you included a "Bottom text =... " entry in the forums elog config. This included
the bare minimum remote call outlined by the highlightjs site. Can you clarify (as I'm having issues setting it up) should the "Bottom text=..." |

All I did was this:

Datepicker not showing, posted by Christine Quicot on Thu Dec 8 15:39:13 2016

Just last week I've downloaded the latest version of ELOG, compiled and installed it, and the date picker just works fine.
In my case it was an update of an existing installation. Can you provide a bit more information about your case: I guess it was a first time
installation? Was is ELOG V3.1.2-754330e or a different GIT version? |

Re: Datepicker not showing, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Dec 12 10:14:50 2016

If the older elog has some customized file such as logbooks, elogd.cfg, elog.css, images and so on, What's the best way to update elog
to newer release? Is it the only way to copy these files to the new release? |

Make a backup of all you files, then install the new version over the old one, keeping all customizations, then restart elog.
