Hi Daniel,

this is an undesired side effect of a new feature. I wouldn't call it a bug ;-)

There is no straight forward way for elog to distinguish between a "Submit" and an automatic save. Therefore the "... on edit = ..." kicks in when an entry is saved automatically.

I guess Stefan can figure out a workaround, but for the moment I would sugest that you just switch off the auto save feature -- if you want to keep your save history:

Save drafts = 0

Hi Andreas and thank you very much for explanation ;)

So, we'll have to wait for new version which will correct this.

Cheers

Daniel.

That's strange. If you edit a message, indeed a draft is saved every ten seconds or so when you keep typing. In our installations we keep an elog entry typically open for eight hours, then save it at the end of the shift, and everything works fine. Have you tried playing aournd with your config file, like "Restrict edit time" or so? Please also make sure you have the current elog version. I sse you have 3.1.3 which is quit old.

Sure. Just figure out the URL from your browser and then use it in wget, e.g.

wget https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/220309_175728/elog-3.1.4-1ebfd06c-win64.zip

to download one attachement from this forum.

Thanks - I can confirm that the given command works.
However, for an e-log with username and password protection, this no longer seems to work.
It would be very useful if the elog command can be used to also download attachments (and not only a message).

You should not mix "Password file" with "Admin Password". Either use one or the other system, but not both. So 
remove "Admin Password", and delete all cookies in your browser, then you should see the login screen.

This is now my config - it still doesn't work. BTW, the passwd file is empty (despite of the xml header).

[global]
Port=8880
Password file = /usr/local/elog/logbooks/passwd
SMTP host = smtp.mydomain.de
SMTP user = kuku
Logfile = /usr/local/elog/logs/elog.log
Logging Level = 3
Admin user = kuku 
Login user = abc def ghi
SSL=1

URL=https://myhost.mydomain:8880/
Self register = 1
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help
[Demo]
Attributes = Author, Status
[Linux]
Attributes = Author, Status
[Windows]
Attributes = Author, Status

Thanks for helping.
