Date conversion, posted by Martin Neumann on Tue Feb 23 12:12:14 2021
|
Hi,
I am trying to figure out how ELOG works and I have a problem.
I have one datetime attribute, where I want the user to be able to enter the time in ISO8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM) instead of the buttons.
How do I manage that this input is converted correctly into the internal format?
I tried adding a hidden locked Attribute called IntDate and use "Subst IntDate = $start" but the result is dates in 1970, even though I have set the Time Format to "%F %H:%M" |

I don't feel comfortable allowing the elog daemon to execute random shell scripts. Is there no other way?

If you define a field as "datetime" then you'll get the standard ELOG input field for datetime. It will be stored as seconds of the epoch (seconds since 1.1.1970).
You can define a field as a default string input, then it is stored as a string. But you can convert that string by a shell scripts into seconds of the epoch. See "subst" command in the documentation of the elog syntax:

Problems with ELOG and Internet Explorer, posted by Elaine Cristina Franchini dos Anjos on Fri Nov 4 16:51:32 2005

Hi,
We are facing a problem when using the Internet Explorer browser to edit
logbooks entries. The error occurs when we use the preview option.
After this, the connection becomes slow to display the preview and returns
"Server Not Found - Page cannot be displayed" or "Internal Server error" as result.
If we try to turn back to the edit page the browser retuns
"This page has been expired".
It happens at any time even we edit simple entries in Internet Explorer,
but never occurs in other browsers.
Software versions that are running :
Elog version 2.6.0-beta
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7g
(Elog is running under apache proxy)
Is there any bug report about this or there is something else
that I need to configure ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Stefan,

I tried on this forum with Internet Explorer 6.0 and could not reproduce the problem, and I never heared anybody else mentioning this problem. Can you reproduce the problem on the forum |
I couldn't reproduce the problem in this forum too, and I'm using Internet Explorer to edit this entry now... :-D
I did some new tests and at this time I tried to submit new entries using the ELOG default port
without proxy, because I realized that this Forum doesn't use https (maybe uses proxy).
I edited and used preview many times and the ELOG worked fine without errors in IE.
So, I think my problem is something configured in the proxy or https that Internet Explorer
doesn't work very well in this circumstance.
Do you know problems like this ?
Is there anybody else using ELOG under https ?
My proxy configuration :

1) http (default port 80):
# Redirect to ELOG - Logbook
Redirect permanent /elog https://antares.ccuec.unicamp.br:9696
2) https (I need to use other different port number) :
<VirtualHost 143.106.80.30:9696>
# Here be standard configuration for the Virtual Host
ServerName antares.ccuec.unicamp.br:9696
ServerAdmin suporte@ccuec.unicamp.br

Email format flags, posted by Elaine Cristina Franchini dos Anjos on Tue Nov 22 20:22:04 2005

I've been tried to format our email notification messages
like this forum, but I couldn't.
Every email notification is sent in plain text although I've tried
all options listed in documentation about Email Format flags. 
What is the Email Format flag that I need to use ?
Is there something else that I have to configure ? ?)
Regards,
Elaine |

Hi Stefan,
I couldn't solve this problem yet...
I have been tried a lot of configurations, but our Elog doens't work well in IE with https
It works very well to read, list, find the messages, delete, and so on...
But all users have problems with edit and preview commands when they are using IE + https.
When we use Elog in IE without https, everything works fine. ?)
We are using :
httpd-2.0.54
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
elog-2.6.0
The redirect directive in httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xx>
ServerAdmin our.email.address
DocumentRoot /www/apache/htdocs
ServerName our.server.name
# Rules to new elog 2.6.0
Redirect / https://our.server.name:9898
ErrorLog logs/error_log
CustomLog logs/access_log common
</VirtualHost>
The proxy directives in ssl.conf:
(We used the http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/contributions/11 message like reference.
Thanks a lot for the contribution!!!  )
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xx:9898>
# Here be standard configuration for the Virtual Host
ServerName our.server.name:9898
ServerAdmin our.email.address
RequestHeader set Front-End-Https "On"
# This be the path to the elog directory
# (This didn't seem to make any difference, but it be a good
# idea nonetheless)
DocumentRoot "/www/src/elog-2.6.0"
# Here be the setup for the SSL component of the Virtual Host
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /www/apache/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
#SSLCertificateKeyFile /www/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /www/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.key
# Here be the setup options for the Proxy module
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
# This be the root of the new Virtual Host, and it should be
# redirected to the port the elogd server is listening to
# (8082 on our poop deck).
<Location />
ProxyPass http://our.server.name:8082/
ProxyPassReverse http://our.server.name:8082/
SSLRequireSSL
</Location>
ErrorLog /www/apache/logs/error_log
TransferLog /www/apache/logs/access_log
</VirtualHost>
And the URL is configured in elogd.cfg like your suggestion (Thanks ! )
URL = https://our.server.name:9898
The elgod.cfg is attached to this message to add more details about our configuration.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Elaine

Have a look at your URL = ... statement in elogd.cfg
It should probably read
URL = https://antares.ccuec.unicamp.br:9696
ELOG uses redirection internally. To determine it's own address, it uses the URL statement. If you use Apache as an proxy together with https, you have to specify the URL under which you usually access ELOG from outside. If this is wrong, ELOG might try to redirect to http:// or something which might not be possible.
A good way to debug this is to run ELOG with the -v flag and carefully watch the HTTP traffic. You will see Location: ... statements which redirect the browser, then the browser will access the redirected URL (if it's correct), or you will see nothing (in case the browser tries to access a non-existing URL). |

Inserting images via Internet Explorer, posted by Elaine Cristina Franchini dos Anjos on Fri Jun 2 21:20:06 2006

Hi Stefan,
I observed that there is a difference between IE and others browsers.
When I use "insert image" button in Netscape, for instance,
it creates automatically a tag like [IMG]elog:1/1[/IMG] and
includes an attachment in the ELOG entry.
When a try to do the same action in Internet Explorer, only
the attachment is created without the tag [IMG]elog:1/1[/IMG] .
I did the same test using this forum, and the results are identical
that was related above.
Is it a bug or I'm doing something wrong ?
Thanks,
Elaine |

This is a problem of the JavaScript implementation of Internet Explorer. After some externsive research I found now a way to convince IE to do the right thing. The fix is contains in SVN revision 1701 and will be released with 2.6.2-2 soon. |
Great job !
I tried the SVN revision 1701, and it works perfectly.
Thank you for all your effort.

Elaine |
