The URL encoding of ']' as '%5D' appears to work:

Here is the problem:

[url=http://example.com?arrays[]=v1&arrays[]=v2]click here[/url]

How can I escape [] inside url tag?

\[\] seems not working.

 

That tweak works!

Thanks

icon1.gif   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]

When I provide very long <text_string>, it was truncated and showed partial link only.

Hello,

Please could you help me.

We have 2 elog servers synchronized every minute via Elog mirroring function.

2 or 3 times a week, the slave crashes and we have to restart Elogd. I have found in /var/log/messages the same message every time elogd crash :

xmalloc: not enough memory

Thanks.

Dominique Bolla.

Entry   Pre-fill , posted by Dominic Schneider on Wed Mar 24 16:11:04 2021 

Hi all together,

I struggle a lot with the following problem:
I try to prefill certain attributes with the value of exactly the same attribute in the last entry made in the same logbook.

I know I have to go with Preset, tried a view hours and searched the forum but i didn't find a thing. Am I overlooking a flag, an option or whatever, or is there just not such a functionality (which I dont believe)?

I thought about:
Preset Test_Attribute = $Test_attribute
Preset Test_Attribute = Re:$Test_attribute
Preset Test_Attribute = $shell(Command to somehow get last entry and this attributes value)
Not succesful though.

I would be very thankful for help, thanks in advance.

Hi Stefan, hi Sebastian,

thank you for your help. Ok I see its not that simple.

Is there maybe a way of executing a Script on submitting, writing the values of the Attributes into an temporary file and loading the values from this file via a preset shell script when opening a NEW entry?

Best wishes & thanks in advance

Sorry Stefan, but it is possible as you have the scripting ability.

The idea is to use "Preset Test_Attribute = $shell(script_to_get_the_last_entry)", where the script asks elog about the details and parses them.
The problem here is, that the elogd already is working to resolve the click on "new entry" request (or similar) and the script can't call elogd until the page is delievered, what is to late.
(If it would, the elogd will hang.)

So the script either has to directly parse all the entry.log files in the logbook folder or you need a second elogd running, which can answer the request from the script.
This second elogd could run on a different port and it doen't need to be public as it only answers internal requests and could use the same config as the "primary" elogd.
My idea for the script uses the python elog module to establish the connection and do the parsing.

I hope this helps as a workaround.
Best wishes,
Sebastian

Nope, there is no way to acces the last value of an attribute. Sorry.

Thank you very much.

So far I testet all functionalities and scripts to reach my goal. I will post a dummy of the solution later on for future purposes.

Best wishes

That would actually be my recommendation. There is a "execute new" which you can call when submitting a new entry.

icon4.gif   Equation Editor does not work, posted by Dominic on Sun Sep 1 04:33:13 2024 

Hi!

I am not sure if this is a know issue: it seems that the equation editor does not work anymore. Is there any fix or alternative method to type latex formula in the log? 

Thank you!
