Excellent, Thanks!

I could figure out the bug. A fix can be found in this commit.

In my testings I didn't found this behaviour, but my collegues also reported this issue.
So I searched for the difference between my test setup and the production logbooks.

I believe the "restrict edit = 1" config option may be responsible for this behaviour.
I had the browser console running in the background and "Drag&Drop" send an XHR request,
which failed with the message: "Only user can edit this entry".
This message is tied to the "restrict edit" option as far as I know.
So I tried removing the option and upload via "Drag&Drop" started to work as intended.
This behaviour only occurs for non-admin users, as admin users are not affected by

Can you verify this?
I can verify to get the same error message in this elog forum in the browser console.

I just used my own account to test the "Drag&Drop" function in this forum ,  and it failed.  In our case, we need to upload ten more images into logbook at once, it's more effective to use "Drag&Drop" than "Browse&Upload" feature for "Browse&Upload" only can choose one attachment at once, but "Drag&Drop" can choose several attachments at once. The admin user can use this feature, but non-admin user not in our site. I did run the elog server as  user "root". I'm not sure it is related to the problem.

I can't confirm this behavoiur. In our instance, every user can use the attachment function of the elog.
Either through "Drag&Drop" or "Browse&Upload" in the entry editor.

What do you mean by "root" user?
The elog can have serveral admin users, but this behaviour is equal for admin and non-admin users.
You should not run the elog server as user "root" of the machine for security reason, but also for issues with file permissions.

The function of "Drop attachments here..." is only for root user? I'd like it could be used by all users.

Thanks for the merge.
I found a more general solution, as there could be the posibility to have the author as "select" or "radio box" input in the form, where the fix breaks.
But I think in most of the cases the author is a preset input, if used with "restrict edit = 1", so the merged fix should be fine.
https://bitbucket.org/merrx/elog/commits/7aacfbcac43b1192e5271fa7b2c80f4825c94d23

Today we ran into this issue again, but this time the curpit was encoding...
The author name in the password file was differently encoded as the author name from the xhr request.
For this instance there was a umlaut in the name.

I haven't got a good solution for this at the moment.
The workaround is to check the encording in the password file and make it matching.
But as for automated logins / user generation e.g. via LDAP (in our case) one should be aware of this issue.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

The Drag & Drop was implemented already in 3.0.0 (see https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/ChangeLog). So no idea why it's not working for you.

Hello,

I can paste images into text (which resulted in the text_size too long error message), however, I can't drop them on my elog. However, I can do it on the demo version. Was the drag and drop into text already supported in version 3.1.3 and I am just missing some configuration option, or do I need to find a repository with a more recent version of elog?

Thanks!

Can I find the config of the demo elog somewhere, so I could try it locally?
