    icon2.gif   Re: Timstamp button in ckedit inserts an incorrect string ( elogd 3.1.0-2), posted by David Wallis on Thu Jun 4 18:12:43 2015 

Additional info:

"Time format = %Y" results in "2015" being pasted into the edit window when I hit the "time stamp" button.

"Time format = %m/%Y" results in the string "06/2015"

"TIme format = %m/%d/%Y" results in the string "06/04"

"Time format = %m/%d %H" results in the string "06/04 "

I just updated to the latest official release (V3.1.0-2411f95) and have these problems:

  1. The Time Stamp button pastes the logbook name when "Time format" is not specified in elogd.cfg, and when it is set to "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M", it adds the string "5/28/."
  2. Drag and drop for attachments dosn't work on either Chrome 37.0.2062.94 (64-bit) or FIrefox 31.5.3 (both on Linux). D&D works on the midas.psi.ch demo page. On my logbooks, the "drop attachements here" area does not have a dashed line border
  3. Auto-saving does not seem to be working.

The "Syntax of elogd.cfg" help file doesn't seem to reflect some of these features... it took me a while to find the settings for LDAP authentication. Am I just missing some settings for these features?

My users are loving the new functionality added in 3.1!

 

icon1.gif   Emails generated by Elog, posted by David Pilgram on Fri Jun 5 12:28:21 2015 

I am one who received an email every time there is a new entry in this forum.

I have just noticed that since May 20, every email contains the message "An old ELOG entry has been updated: "

whereas before that date, the vast majority say "A new ELOG entry has been submitted: "

Is this something to do with the saving of draft messages?

Talking of which, I see my draft of this message shows up in the forum before I have submitted it.

I acknowledge these two bugs and will fix them soon.

I can confirm that there is currently a problem with the ckeditor "Insert Timestamp" button.
It apparently calls javascript code in ckeditor/plugins/timestamp/plugin.js
to catch a string from the URL "../../?cmd=gettimedate"
(I think this is one too many "../", but anyway). if you try this for the Forum:
https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?cmd=gettimedate
it returns the wrong string. It is "Forum" instead of the date.

PS to David: The subject "Three problems ..." is not giving any indication what it is about. I would find it better in this case to post three entries to the Forum, each with a striking title :-)

Andreas,

I too was able to track the problem down to the "gettimedate" function in elogd.c. It looks like the code is using a variable named "str" for several different purposes. I haven't had a chance to do any testing, but my suspsicion is that the size of the dynamically allocated variable is ending up too small for the time stamp string, so it gets truncated.

 

Your point about the topic title is a good one - I'll split this into separate issues, thanks!

I don't see anything in the elogd.conf file that pertains to this feature.

icon4.gif   Auto save feature not working on 3.1.0, posted by David Wallis on Fri Jun 5 23:10:27 2015 

Auto-saving does not seem to be working. In the config file, I have the following:

Save drafts = 1
Autosave = 10


but I never see the "auto saving" message or get any other indication that the feature is working.

Am I missing something?

As you've pointed out, for the very same browsers D&D works with the Forum, and that is ELOG 3.1.0.
Hence I can only conclude that it is neither a browser, nor an ELOG issue, but a problem of your local installation. Maybe you try with a fresh and clean installation first? What Linux are you using, by the way?
Or you've picked by bad luck a 3.1.0 version where D&D did really not work. But I cannot tell, since you did not specify the git revision in the ELOG version (it is possible now ;-)
Cheers
Andreas
