icon4.gif   attachments created using "Image" button can not be clicked-on and do not appear in the attachment table., posted by Devin Bougie on Wed Jan 27 21:33:53 2016 

This has been confirmed usign the Demo forum on this server.  For example, please see https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/8

When an image is attached using the "Image" button in the CKEditor, that image does not appear in the attachment table for that entry.  In addition, the image can not be clicked on to view the full image.

This was not the case in v2.9.2, at least.

Is there some configuration option I could toggle to change this behaviour?  By default, we would like any attachment (whether it's made using drag and drop, the Image button, or the "Choose File" button) to appear in the attachment table *and* be clickable to view the full image.

Thanks,

Devin

As there appears to be some inconsistencies, I thought I'd document the behaviour of each of the attachment options.

------

1. Click on the "Image" button in the CKEditor, click on "Choose File" and browse to the file, click on "Send it to the Server", and click "OK".

  • The image appears inline at the configured "Thumbnail size", but it is not clickable and it does not appear in the attachment table when viewing the entry.

2. Drag and drop an image into the body of the message.

  • The image appears inline at the configured "Thumbnail size" and is clickable.  As with "1," however, it does not appear in the attachment table when viewing the entry.

3. Drag and drop an image into the "Drop attachments here ..." section.

  • The image appears in the attachment table at the configured Thumbnail Size, and is clickable.

4. From the attachment table, click on "Choose File" and then click on "Upload."

  • The image appears in the attachment table at the configured Thumbnail Size, and is clickable.

------

We need to make sure the images are always clickable so that you can always view the full-sized image.  Any suggestions for fixing this, short of reverting to v2.9.2, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Devin

icon5.gif   Links to images in notification message, posted by Devin Bougie on Fri Feb 26 17:20:52 2016 screenshot.png

We see two problems with the notificaiton email when attaching an image inline using drag-and-drop.

  1. The thumbnail does not appear in its proper location inline.  There is a ? placeholder where the thumbnail should be, and the thumbnail then appears at the end of the message.
  2. Neither the ? placeholder nor the thumbnail that do appear are clickable.

Our v2.9.2 test installation exhibits the desired behavior.  

  1. The thumbnail appears in its correct location inline.
  2. If you click on the thumbnail, you arrive at a URL displaying the full size image.

I am not able to drag-and-drop into the body of this message to test the behavior here.  I am attaching  a screenshot showing an example of the problem from our server.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Devin

From the notification I received, it looks like "2" is a problem with this server.  In the email notification, we would like images to be a link to a URL displaying the full-size image (as they are in v2.9.2).

Thanks,

Devin

icon5.gif   inactive users, posted by Devin Bougie on Wed Apr 27 21:27:36 2016 
Hello,

Is it possible to remove the "active" checkbox a user sees when they click on "config"?  Alternatively, is it possible to have a new user arrive directly at the logbook they chose, rather than starting out at the config screen?

We are running elog-3.1.1 on SL6 with webserver authentication.  For the most part this works great, but somehow a few users become inactive after they login for the first time.  They claim they didn't un-check "active," but I can't think of any other way this would happen.

Many thanks,
Devin
icon5.gif   posting messages through email, posted by Devin Bougie on Mon May 2 22:20:40 2016 
Hello,

Has anyone implemented an email gateway for ELOG, allowing users to submit entries by sending an email?  Granted this should be possible using the elog client binary, but I thought I'd see if I've overlooked any examples or docs first.

Thanks!
Devin
icon5.gif   elog client binary with webserver authentication, posted by Devin Bougie on Wed May 11 02:59:53 2016 
Is it possible to submit entries using the elog client binary when the server is configured with webserver authentication (when the server requires the X-Forwarded-User header)?  One option would be if the server could support both webserver and kerberos (or even file) authentication, but neither 
"Authentication = Webserver, Kerberos" nor "Authentication = Webserver, File" seem to work.

In addition to using the elog binary to talk to the elog server directly, we've unsuccessfully tried using curl to post data to the apache server url (URL in elogd.cfg).  We can read entries using curl, but haven't yet been able to submit entries.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Devin

The elog client binary does not work with webserver authentication.  One fix would be to support both webserver and kerberos authentication (authentication = webserver, kerberos), similar to how you currently support 
"authentication = kerberos, file".

A more general discussion of the elog client binary with webserver authentication can be found at https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68318 .

Many thanks,
Devin
