icon5.gif   MacOS install failure - cannot find ssl.h, posted by Christina Swinson on Mon Dec 5 20:11:47 2016 
Hi,

I am trying to install on MacOS Sierra. I believe that I have followed all the steps correctly, but the install is failing with the following
error:

If you look into the documentationa at:

http://midas.psi.ch/elog/adminguide.html#unix

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,

Oops!

I think that I must have skipped straight to the MacOS notes instead of reading the linux section properly.

Thanks for the help,

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

My macports puts it under

/opt/local/include/openssl/ssl.h

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
Apple LLVM version 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.42.1)

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

cpp -v

Hello :)

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

Best Regards
    icon2.gif   Re: Highlight code?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Sep 6 13:41:32 2016 
You can manually highlight code,
but there is no automatic language parser.

I thought so.

One  more question :) I want manually add that parser (https://highlightjs.org), but I'm newby in that and don't know where ....

I know that downloaded hightlight pack I must put into folder scripts, but where to add this line:
          icon2.gif   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");
             icon2.gif   Re: Highlight code?, posted by Daniel Sajdyk on Tue Sep 6 14:51:19 2016 screen.png
Looks like it works :)

Code need to be put in tags:

<pre><code class="sql">...</code></pre>
                icon2.gif   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=..."
                         icon2.gif   Re: Highlight code?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Dec 12 13:48:41 2016 
All I did was this:


Bottom Text = <link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.6.0/styles/default.min.css"><script
src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.6.0/highlight.min.js"></script><script>hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();</script>

Thanks for the quicky reply Stefan. Yes, I had inut the same string! My error was not restarting the server; I've done this and code highlighting
works fine.

icon1.gif   Datepicker not showing, posted by Christine Quicot on Thu Dec 8 15:39:13 2016 
Hello users,

 

When I configure an attribute with "Type <attribute>= date", in the new entry form a clic on the calendar symbol does nothing.
    icon2.gif   Re: Datepicker not showing, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Dec 12 09:48:14 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?
       icon2.gif   Re: Datepicker not showing, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Dec 12 10:14:50 2016 
I put one in https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Database/?cmd=New

Could also be a pop-up blocker problem. Let's see.

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

Hi, I have a logbook where users can add entries and edit entries.

The delete option has been removed from the menu, but when they edit an entry they are able to delete the entry.

Is there a way to remove the Delete option from the menu that appears when Editing an entry?

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your reply, I did as suggested but the button "Delete" still appears when the edit entry is selected.

Am I overlooking something?

No, I get a different result. If I put "Save drafts = 0" in the config example coming with the distribution, I get the following:

Dear all,

there seems to be still lots of confusion with the new "draft modus" introduced in elog 3.1.2. Here is how it works:

If you edit an old or new entry, your changes are written to the elog server every few seconds. The entry in the elog database is marked as "draft".
    icon2.gif   Re: Display of draft entries in elog, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Dec 2 14:54:58 2016 
In version 3.1.2-416db9f I implemented a "Restore" button, which should fix the second drawback. If you press it, you should be able to go
back to where you started when editing an entry.

A error came out when I pasted a photo in the text area with  HTML Encoding. The photo is a snapshot from Print Screen. When I submitted

I guee you tried to paste an image into the text area, and your browser somehow converted this into a text entry, which then of course can become very
long. Elog since vesion 3 supports drag-and-drop. You can drop an image from your local disk into the "Drop attachemnts here..." box at the bottom
of this page. You can also drag an image directly to the text box like this one:

Thanks for your advice! I've test that dropping an image from my local disk into the text box with Elog-3.1.2. It did work. However, I
still have a question want to ask that When I paste a small image into the text area, I can submit it successfully. But when I paste a bigger one, it will
say "Entry text too big. Please increase TEXT_SIZE and recompile elogd". And There's the same result in https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/.

How big is your image? I just tried a 5000 x 3600 pixel image (8 MB in size), and it worked fine on the demo logbook.

Ah, that's the difference! I always drop an image on the text area, never paste it. So please refrain from pasting.
