resending information confirmation box after refresh interval, posted by Ken Ludington on Mon Nov 16 20:42:15 2015 
|
After submitting a new post, if the page is left completely alone,, it will after a few minutes prompt that the page needs to resend information.
This is the same prompt you'd get if you attempt to refresh a page that had session variables passsed to it. Example is attached.

Start with the demo example configuration, add one line after the other from your config, and figure out which is the offending statement in your config,
then post a minimal configuration here which triggers the problem.

WYSIWYG editor for Elog not working in Debian Jessie, posted by Nicola on Tue Nov 3 18:22:33 2015

I suspect that this might be a Debian packaging issue; however no one replied to my help
request on the Debian forums so I try posting the question also here. I insatlled Elog on my Debian Jessie machine, I can open it with a browser but
when entering a new post just a simple plain text editing box is shown instead of the WYSIWYG editor, and no drag and drop area for attachments is shown. |

Hi Nicola,
this appears to be a particular problem of the specific (outdated) ELOG debian package.
But you could just download
the FCKeditor directly and install it to the proposed location "/usr/share/fckeditor".
Or you download ELOG 3.1.1 and give it a
try to install it with the makefile.
Cheers, Andreas

Hi Andreas, I opted for the first solution since the Debian package, although outdated and broken, has some goodies like a systemd unit for managing
the daemon which is very handy. I downloaded FCKeditor 2.6.11 from SourceForge (after a long search, seems that CKeditor made its parent almost disappear
from the web), unpacked it in the proper folder and not the WYSIWYG editor works. I have just a couple of minor issues: there is no attachment drop area |

Elog 3.x comes with CKeditor, not FCKeditor any more! I would actually recommend to use the CKeditor from the current Elog 3.1.1 source package if running
together with Elog 3.1.1.

Hi Nicola,
as Stefan pointed out: the debian package that you are using is from an outdated ELOG version and not supported anymore. I
can't help you with that.
Is somebody out there that created a 3.1.x version debian package?
Cheers, Andreas

Hi Andreas, understood. I found a 3.1.0 package for Debian unstable but it won't install on Jessie since it depends on a newer version of openssl,
and it seems to not have a systemd unit (not sure about that, though). I can live with my old version now that the WYSIWYG editor works, and in the meantime
I'll keep my eyes open for a brave soul who would eventually package a newer elog version for Jessie. |

restrict edit time and autosave, posted by Kester Habermann on Fri Oct 30 18:20:22 2015

Hello,
When using restrict edit time together with autosave, there is the following problem: The counter for restrict edit time seems to start after
the autosave. If the time is up, it is no longer possible to submit the report. |

Hi Kester,
yes, I did run into the same problem, that I could not even delete old drafts due to our restrict edit time.
We
allow anonymous submissions in our operation logbooks. After a while drafts of unsubmitted messages just pile up; and I need to remove them as administrator.
While
I can do that easily for anonymous drafts, I cannot do that for drafts of other users: I don't easily see those drafts.
It would be really |

running more then one shell command when new entries is submitted, posted by kenzo Abrahams on Tue Oct 27 11:03:49 2015

Hi
Im just curious is it possible to run more then one command using Execute new = <command> or will i have to run a script to run muliple
commands. |
|
Re: running more then one shell command when new entries is submitted, posted by kenzo Abrahams on Tue Oct 27 11:14:16 2015

The reason why im asking if it can be done using the Execute option is because I need to have the message id of the entry that was submitted and in an
external script i dont have access to the variable

The command is passed to your shell, and some shells except more than one command. Most Linux shells accept commands separated by ';', which
you can try yourself by entering for example: ls *.c; ls*.h

If i put the ';' into Execute the rest of the command becomes a comment thats why i was trying to use '&&' instead. If I encapulate
the whole command in "" or '' then both commands are executed but the files im trying to write to gets created but no data is piped into
it. When I use Execute with one command and pipe its output to a file everything works fine though. |

As far as I know ELOG is recognising a configuration line as a comment only when it starts with a ';'.
I can assure you that
ELOG does not treat the rest of the line as a comment when you use a ';' within a $shell() command: I do it a lot and it works fine. Here's
a simple, generic example using the bash:
Preset Author = $shell(if [ $short_name = "Anonym" ] ;then echo $Author;else echo |

dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed, posted by Dani on Tue Oct 27 15:41:57 2015

Dear all,
Is it possible to have a dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed?
I would like to switch the template file depending on the attribute value (Type). |

I don't think that this is possible.
And it is not clear to me, how you would like it to work: I often use HTML tables in preset text, where the user should fill out columns (e.g.
for checklists). I wouldn't want the tables just to append when switching to another checklist. You could rather add a comment to the Type field, explaining |

thanks Andres for your response!
I was thinking that it cannot be possible, but , I had to try to ask in the forum.
for my question, I think that this could be left on user responsibility to take care about it, and add a comment the the text fied, explaining |
