elog client cmd line submission of attributes with spaces., posted by Darren Hollinrake on Fri Aug 19 19:39:50 2016

I was setting of a local test copy of my logbooks on my Windows 7 PC to begin testing automation of submissions without spamming the live logbooks. While
trying to make entries from the command line I get an error that I am missing a required attribute. I have multiple attributes that have spaces in them
an the verbose output indicates that the space in the name is being changed to an underscore. Is this the expected behavior or a bug when submitting to |

| Try commenting out the Required Attributes line in your elogd.cfg file before submitting. I think it's a bug but this work-around gets around it. |

Thanks for the response. You are indeed correct that the issue disappears when I comment out my required attributes line. If I just remove my "Start Time"
attribute, all the other attributes work as well.

Agreed, I just wanted to clarify for anyone else though that the issue seems to be centered on my "Start Time" attribute which is a datetime field. All
the other attributes (with spaces) allowed submission of the entry so long as the "Start Time" attribute wasn't set to required. That appears to be the
one with the actual issue. Giving a valid epoch time when that field isn't required allows the field to be populated correctly. However, if the "Start |

If the "Start Time" attribute is of the type "datetime", then you cannot assign a date string to it.
Instead you'll have to assign the seconds of the epoch.
Try assigning a "0", that should be the 1st of January 1970.

Thanks for the reply. You're correct that the "Start Time" attribute is a datetime field. I tried your suggestion and placed "0" for that field but it still
returns the same error: Error: Missing required attribute "Start Time"
I tested after commenting out the required attribute line and the command was accepted. However, the datetime field does not display a valid date/time |

Quick Filter not searching on Enter, posted by Alan Grant on Wed Aug 10 16:46:09 2016
|
With all of our instances of Elog where we have Quick Filters enabled, any filter that we input characters into does not search the server when we press
enter (there is no "Search" button). Interestingly, it will only search when we click anywhere on a blank area of the Elog interface. Is
that the intended procedure for searching? |

I've checked for this forum logbook, and pressing "enter" while having focus in the quickfilter text field does initiate the search. Does
it work for you with this logbook?

Yes it works fine in this forum. I also discovered my problem is resolved using Chrome. I'll dig into browser and let you know when I find
something.

Sample of actual elog Config with URL in SSL, posted by Dawang on Mon Dec 14 04:42:04 2015

HI Guys,
Can you please give me an idea how will I write in the config. I want my elog will be accessed via internet. Though there's a tutorial /
guideline, I need an actual config file for me to easily grasp how the URL = xxx should be write. Do my port should be Port = 433 and SSL=1? |

Re: Sample of actual elog Config with URL in SSL, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Dec 16 09:56:09 2015

You normally don't need to specify "URL = xxx" at all. It is only needed if you work with a Proxy that changes the normal ELOG URL. And
yes, you'll need "Port = 433" and "SSL =1".
And elogd must be compiled with USE_SSL=1, maybe that's your problem? |

Very easy: uncomment the line USE_SSL=1 in the Makefile and then compile.
You'll need of course a gcc compiler on your Windows system, a makefile environment, SSL libraries, etc.. If you don't have that: ask
you local administrator. |

By the Makefile i belive you are refering to the elogd.cfg? if not what file do I have use?
I have added

Re: Sample of actual elog Config with URL in SSL, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Tue Aug 9 14:01:04 2016

You need to download the source file package of ELOG and compile it. If you don't know what a Makefile is, then it is likely futile for you to attempt
to compile ELOG.
Or in other words: you cannot use SSL. |

Re: Sample of actual elog Config with URL in SSL, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Tue Aug 9 14:08:20 2016

You've already named your solution: drop the very old ELOG version and download the new one. Obviously it was compiled with USE_SSL and you can use
it right away.
Since you probably don't even have the source files of the old version, you'll have no chance to make it work with that. Just use ELOG |

How do I enable SSL with port 443 in version ELOG V2.7.8-2294 and

does elog have a way of inserting pictures into a post other than including
them as an attachment? i can put a picture in using html text, but this
method only works if the picture is stored on the local server. anyone

I have just made a fresh installation of ELOG 3.1.1 on a windows machine and unfortunately it is not working. If I try to insert a picture with the image
button, the dialog complains that the image url is missing. If I drag-and-drop the picture on the edit area, it gets attached but not added as picture.
I tried already on two different computer and on the basic elog configuration. |

Different logbook files when running elogd as admin or normal user, posted by Antonio Bulgheroni on Thu Jul 21 07:44:04 2016

Dear all, I have a problem with my window elog installation (2.9.2) and I would like to ask your help for solving it.
I'm using elog on my lab computer for a single user installation, so something very simple. It was running smoothly for many months using
the automatic window service (i.e. elogd was started automatically at boot). I need to add that the service is started as the local administrator, while |

I don't know why elogd uses different logbook directories depending on the user. Maybe you start it in different directories, or one user cannot
read the config file and falls back to some default. Anyhow, you can start elogd interactively wit the -v flag which tells you which logbook files are
parsed. There are no cache files or similar, everything is stored in Yymmdda.log files, you just have to search for them. |

So I found the my log files, but this issue should probably be documented.
When running as admin my logbook files are where they should (C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\logbooks)
When running as local user (with no admin rights), elogd has no writing access to the logbooks directory. So it falls back to use C:\Users\[MyUserName]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program |

string length limit in url tag, posted by Don on Wed Jul 20 16:03:24 2016
|
What is the string length limit in url tag and how to increase it?
For example,
[url=http://example.com?<text_string>]click here[/url] |
|
Re: string length limit in url tag, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Jul 21 06:15:44 2016

Several strings in ELOG are limited to 256 chars. It is likely the limit for URLs, too.
The magic number "256" appears 285
times in the elogd.c file.
It is probaly easier if you compress long URLs with goo.gl
Cheers, Andreas
