 | Hayg Guler | hayg.guler@ijclab.in2p3.fr | Question | Linux | 3.1.4-395e101 | Re: Post using html form | Dear Stefan,
that is strange since I logged in ...
It seems like when I go in the shift check topic in the elog, it does not get my login id ... is there something coming from the HTML file that should be set in order to get the login from elog ?
see in the attached image : I am logged in but I still need to feed the Author item. And even If I fill it,
And then if I Click on new to write a new filling form, author is not filled as you could see on the second image "Author ?" ...
so I don' see from where appears the problem

Probably people have to log in to the logbook before opening the form. I guess the "submit not allowed" comes from the fact that they access the logbook as a guest.

Dear All,
we are trying to post from an HTML form, as included in our config file :
[ShiftCheck]
Comment = Shift Check List (exemple a modifier)
Attributes = Author, D, M, Y, Shift, LasE, LasIris, Q, E, Li, TL, RI
Quick filter = Shift, Author
Options Shift = Morning, Evening, Night
Enable attachments = 0
Show text = 1
Custom new form = /www/Web/htdocs/elog/sites/THOMX/shiftcheck.html
Custom edit form = /www/Web/htdocs/elog/sites/THOMX/shiftcheck.html
Custom display form = /www/Web/htdocs/elog/sites/THOMX/shiftcheck.html
we are facing the following problem when trying to submit :
--> Error: Command "Submit" not allowed
is there something missing in our config file ?
Many thanks in advance

Just want to come back to this issue I faced.
In the config file, I call an html form to format input. The way I call the html file inside my config file is described below.
My point is, even if I am already logged in, each time I try to submit an html form, it sais I am not logged in ...
please refer to the corresponding form to see the screenshots.
Many thanks
Hayg

For security reasons (XSS or cross site scripting) , HTML code in attributes is not allowed by default. To turn it on (and if you know what you are doing), add following line to your configuration
Allow HTML = 1 |
I know this is an old, old thread, but I am trying to use this feature in a recent version of elog (3.1.3). Is there any chance this will ever get fixed, or at least made workable? I tried "Allow HTML = 1", but that did not work. I'd like to be able to use this to link directly to carriers to track packages.
Also, the documentation seemed a bit confusing to me:
| Quote: | Change <attribute> = <string>
Instead of subsituting an attribute, the original attribute can be kept and just the output formatting can be changed. This can be very handy for constructing HTML links out of attributes. Presume that a company has a telephone book reachable under
http://any.company.com/telbook.cgi?search=<name>
where <name> has to be replaced by a search string. Now one can construct an automatic telephonebook lookup with following options:
Attributes = Name, Telephone, ...
Display Telephone = <a href="http://any.company.com/telbook.cgi?search=$Name">$Name's telephone number</a>
The attribute Telephone is now automatically constructed from the attribute Name and consists of a link to the company's telephonebook. The advantage of this system is if the URL of the telephonebook changes one day, only one statement in the config file has to be changed, while otherways (like with the Subst Telephone = ... option) all entries would have to be changed manually. |
The example seems to be using a different syntax ("Display Telephone") rather than the syntax described by the section header ("Change <attribute>...").
Any update to this information would be greatly appreciated. I'm just looking for a workable solution of any kind. Thank you for your continuing fine work. |

I am able to make it work by passing just a plain string constructing the URL. Strange though... before I posted the previous log entry, it didn't work no matter what I tried! Bizarre.
However, it would still be a good idea to update the documentation to clarify things somewhat and bring it up to date with actual usage today. |

You are referring here to a Forum entry for an old ELOG version: this will not be changed, since it was for that old version.
If you want some documentation to be updated, then you should show the documentation part that should be updated. |
I have been looking at the documentation at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#attrib. (See the quoted portion, above.) If there is newer documentation, please post a link for it here. Thank you! |

I read through the options at the end of the docs. I did not see anything about a way to suppress identical messages, or a way to force the user to make some kind of change to make the reply different from the original.

| Harry Martin | harrymartin772@gmail.com | Question | Linux | 2.9.2-2475 | Re: Duplicate entries | I was only commenting on the predicament as I have run into it also. I have required fields, but short of some sort of "abort" control (curiously missing from the otherwise vast offerings of elog), I don't see any way to ensure that identical replies don't occur in any circumstance that may arise.
My feeling is that an additional option to elog is appropriate, one that disables -- completely -- identical replies to a message. I am not asserting that this must be done, just that it might be the only truly efficacious way to eliminate this issue. Again, I was only commenting on it, but I would like to see such a feature implemented in elog. I believe it can be justified because this would seem, intutitively, to be a potential problem for almost anyone using elog.
I hope you will receive my response here in the constructive and friendly manner it is intended.

I'm not sure if this is what you want.
If you want to prevent "accidental" replies being identical to the original message, you can force a situation where the user will be alerted that they have to do something if they really want to make a reply.
An example. I have an attribute "Action". In order to make a reply. I have set up that I must select an Action attribute every time. If I forget, I get an error message screen, and can click to go back to the entry and have another attempt (nothing is deleted if you have added to the reply).
In the elog.cfg file, I have the lines
Required Attributes = Action
Preset on reply Action =
This hopefully would remind them that they are making a reply to an entry, and either make a reply, or abort the attempt.

Hi Harry,
I'm just an elog (ab)user, not one of the developers. My original 2017 reply was to report an issue that was due to hardware, but somehow overcame a configuration flag (no multiple replies to a single entry), which might have been the same problem as the original poster, Alan Grant, was observing, where one real reply mysteriously became two identical ones. That appears to be different to the issue you have.
There is an "Abort" button; in version 2.9.2 it is "Back" (without a warning), somewhere along the development it because "Delete" (with a warning), but that only covers circumstances where a reply is started by accident/unintentionally and then it is realised. My previous suggestion certainly would alert the replier that they have to do something - even if only selectiing an "Action" - before the new entry would be accepted, This suggests that you have a circumstance where the reply being a duplicate of the entry is a real issue, and that neither of the suggestions above would help. Don't forget, some people may *want* this.
It would be for Stefan and Andreas to put this on the elog wish-list. I am a little puzzled as to how your problem arises - lazy user? - so perhaps more comment as to how this is occurring will help Stefan and Andreas understand the why. There is somewhere on this site a page where you can add suggestions for the wish-list, but due to security certificate issues, I can only access the Forum at present and cannot point you to it.
