Thanks Stefan,  It looks like the group had actually contacted you directly as well (sorry for the redundant work!).  Thanks for the help, the great application and your time.

Still no luck changing the TZ for a single elog service.  I completed the following:

* I added a new user/group - central-tz-user (id 1010)
* changed user TZ to central, su as user and confirmed CDT via 'date'
* changed elogd.cfg usr and grp to central-tz-user
* changed elog directory recursively to central-tz-user ownership
* restarted the elog instance and confirmed via 'ps aux' that 1010 is running elog process
* When I go to elog and add new entry, server time (PDT) is shown. 

Am I missing a step here possibly?

Okay, I missed the obvious...

sudo -u central-tz-user (start elog)

Dear David,
what I meant with a "fresh and clean installation" is, that you do not install elog on the production system over the existing elog, but instead on another Linux box.
One possible problem could be that you have a modified CSS (or some other file), which is not overwritten by the ELOG installation. That file could break the D & D functionality.
My advise would be, to do an ELOG test installation and try D & D on the demo logbook of that installation. If that works, then you'll need to find out which of your local files is the culprit.
In any case, I would advise to grap the latest source from the development branch in Git and build from that: there had been many bugfixes since April.
Kind Regards
Andreas
 
PS: Stefan, V3.1.0-2411f95 is from April and you've spend a lot of work on ELOG since then. Maybe you could merge the development branch and release the 3.1.1 as an RPM? Thanks!

Andreas,

I am running the latest version of the elogd source RPM that I could find - ELOG V3.1.0-2411f95 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago), with kernel level 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64. I can try grabbing the latest source code from Git and try building that. There are a couple other fixes I'd like to apply anyway. Thanks!

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

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.

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

Sure, I just wanted to get feedback from you regarding the draft functionality. As it looks now people are happy, so I will do a 3.1.1.

Hi,I'm new here :) and want to install elog on linux suse. could you please tell me, how can I find this following lib dependency.

linuxsuse#rpm -i elogi386.rpm
                 error: Failed dependencies:
                  libssl.so.6 is needed by elog-3.1.0-2.i386

Thanks in Advance

If you Google for "libssl.so.6 is needed", you will find for example this site: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2096126 , which tells you to install the libssl-dev package.
