  68302   Sun Apr 24 02:09:47 2016 Question Alan Grantagrant@winnipeg.caQuestionWindows3.1.1How to login and export to CSV using wget?

Is it possible to use wget to log into elog and export all of a logbook's data into a CSV file?

I can accomplish this perfectly when authentication IS NOT required by using:  wget --no-check-certificate -O e:\export.csv http://localhost:8080/demo/?mode=CSV1

However, I cannot accomplish it when authentication IS required by using:  wget --no-check-certificate -O e:\export.csv "http://localhost:8080/demo/?mode=CSV1&uname=agrant&upassword=skipper"

The latter appears to show that I've logged in, but the export file only contains a bunch of HTML tags, not the actual data as in the former.

How should I construct the wget command?

We use ELOG for our accelerator operation logbooks. As part of the shift handover every shift prints out all
entries made during the shift and files the printouts. If one entry in the shift was plain text without
appropriate linebreaks (like this one), then this screws up the printout: the whole window is scaled to the width
of this line and either the printout is cut off at the right side, or the whole content is scaled down to very
tiny scale, which makes it unreadable.

Is there a way to enforce line breaks in plain text entries?

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

I seem to be having some trouble with Find when using conditional attributes.

when I change the primary attribute in the find field, the corrispnding secondary attribute dosn't refresh properly with the list of values.

I am able to use the conditional options as expected when creating a new logbook.

 

I am using version ELOG V3.1.1-0767eb0 running on debian wheezey (compiled from sid sources)

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!

We have accumulated some duplicate 'types' in one of our logbooks.  Is it possible to merge them?

Thanks,

  68318   Wed May 11 02:59:53 2016 Question Devin Bougiedevin.bougie@cornell.eduQuestionLinux3.1.1elog client binary with webserver authentication
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
