icon5.gif   [Not] Submit on pressing enter key, posted by Daniel Campora on Mon Jan 20 19:15:24 2014 

Hello community,

I have a feature request for the form of the ELOG.

For some users, especially coming from a MAC background, it is very inconvenient to press enter (ie. on the subject field) and post a message (or get prompted to do so). Instead, enter in these fields should work as a tab.

Cheers, keep up the good work,

Daniel

icon5.gif   Unable to resize images in browser, posted by Matthew Deller on Tue Feb 18 21:32:27 2014 
I am unable to resize/ manipulate images in browser. Image Magick detected Version: ImageMagick 6.6.9-7 2012-08-17.

Output when running elog with verbose option shows buffer overflow when resize attempted:
[[Going to execute: /bin/sh -c "identify -format '%wx%h %c' '/home/elog/elog-2.9.2/logbooks/HardwareLog/140218_120423_2014-02-18_remod_(extended_II).png.png'" > /tmp/elog-shell 2>&1
Falling back to default group "elog"
Falling back to default user "elog"
*** buffer overflow detected ***: elogd terminated

Any ideas how to fix this? I'm not sure if this is a problem with the elog / Ubuntu / Image Magick?

Hello,

 
I want to change the language to German. But it does not work.
 
Here my config:
 
Theme = default
Resource dir = D:\Elog
Language = german
 
Where is the problem? Or is it not possible to change the language in Windows?
 
Best regards,
Markus
icon5.gif   XML import Error, posted by Donald on Thu Feb 27 15:15:55 2014 new__2.xml

Hi

 

I've written a powershell script parse a html table that contains old log book data that i would like to import to a elog book.  I've attached a example of the output.

When i attempt a import i get this error

"XML file does not contain <ENCODING> element"

The file does contain an encoding for utf-8  I've tried converting the xml to ANSI and ISO-8859-1 encodings but i get the same error.

is there something obvious that I'm missing?

here is the config of the log book:

 

[WLTST]
Theme = default
Comment = Test Logbook
Attributes = Author, Object, Action
Comment Author = Username
Comment Action = What
Comment Text = Why
Required Attributes = Author, Object, Action, Text
Page Title = Test Logbook
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type

icon5.gif   How to upload several images at once, posted by Alejandro Gomez on Wed Mar 5 03:58:51 2014 

 Hi

I just want to know if there is a way to upload a bunch of images at once. I need to upload ~50 images per day and of course it is really tedious. 

Thanks!!

icon5.gif   Author drop-down menu length, posted by Kay Graf on Mon Mar 10 12:15:07 2014 

I am handling several ELOGs for medium-sized collaborations (scientific experiments) with a large number of authors (~250) and chose to have single-user access and entries for every author - in the config file, the "Options Author"-List contains ~150 name for now.

However, the Author drop-down menu stops after ~100 names - is that a ELOG-webserver hard limit? I checked there is nothing strange in the author names following (no strange character, etc.).

I tested it on Firefox, Chrome, Safari - it does not seem to be a browser issue.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

icon5.gif   Generation of .png files for attachments, posted by David Pilgram on Fri Mar 28 14:15:18 2014 
Hi Stefan and Andreas,

With the latest incremental version of elog (a738232), I have noticed that when attaching a pdf file, the
.png thumbnail is not generated when the "upload" button is pressed - there is just the usual small line saying
what the latest attachment is.  If this happens, a subsequent attachment will force the generation of the
thumbnail for the *previous* attachment, and again no thumbnail for the latest attachment.

Submitting the comment will also generate the thumbnail.

As of yet, I cannot find any consistent pattern to this.  Also, it's hardly a disaster, but I have been fooled
when attaching a pdf file that subsequently turned out to be damaged and thus unreadable.
icon5.gif   Passing html code for table using elog command, posted by Remington Tyler Thornton on Thu May 22 21:39:55 2014 

Hey,

I am testing out automated entries using elog on the command line. The file I pass has html code for a table; the resulting entry shows the html code for the table instead of generating the table. Is there a way to make elog parse the code to show a formatted table?

Thanks  in advance.
