Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to set a minimum default value for the height of the text box when submitting new entries. If I understood well, by default the text box height automatically resizes in order that all the elements of the page are visible. Actually for our needs having a minimum height of the text box fixed (for instance 500px)  is by far more useful of viewing the attachment box (we know it is down scrolling the page :) ). We know it is possible to resize the text box using the mouse but doing this every time one creates a new entry can be annoying. Setting a default minimum size would be more confortable. Is it possible to do this?

Thank you 

Beppe

I'm using that page to upload employee schedule in elog, and i copy-paste the schedule from excel table with color into the page.

The only browser that allow me to do above activity was only Microsoft Edge, it can keep the excel rich color table smooth and stayed with the color when i paste it.

If i'm doing above activity using different browser such as Firefox or chrome , everytime i paste the color rich excel table , the color always missing and only the text that pasted on the page.

But recently i update my Windows 10 and the Microsoft Edge browser also updated, and since that i the microsoft edge browser cannot read the "preset-text" template anymore and the page just blank.

Can you help

Thank you and regards

Dear all,
  I have some logbook which uses preset text depending on some option values, and uses text files for this.

something similar to:

Options Type = Start of shift{1}, 2h{2}, 4h{3}, 6h{4}, End of shift {5}

{1} Preset text = MCProdStart.txt
{2} Preset text = MCProd2h.txt
{3} Preset text = MCProd4h.txt
{4} Preset text = MCProd6h.txt
{5} Preset text = MCProdEnd.txt

I wonder if there is a way to change/edit the text files from the web interface if you are admin of that logbook, or if the only way is to change the files directly in the elog server.

thanks Stefano

I've been trying to configured a Synology NAS to run my personal elog with a reverse proxy to the outside world.  The best way seems to be running Elog in a Docker instance and then running a separate connected Docker running a nginx-proxy (in this case jwilder/nginx-proxy). This second container manages the certificates to letsencrypt and mapping URL requests to relevant containers so that connection is secured properly.  

It worked great in the initial test. However, I have an issue with authentication.  When I password protect the elog it goes to a login page.  When I give an correct password it loops back to the login page (incidentally when I give an incorrect password it gives an 'Invalid user name or password!' warning).  So I know that its getting the correct password but there is some issue that is resetting or ignoring the authentication.  I am never able to actually get to the protected content. 

Does anyone have any experience in using Nginx to setup a secure reverse proxy? Any insights into why this would mess with the authentication of elog?

Side note: I have tried using Apache to do the same and authentication worked fine.  But the pre-canned jwilder/nginx-proxy docker manages all the certificates automatically and seamlessly and allows me to have multiple services running on the same outward facing port on my router.  There is no equivalent (as far as I know) that uses Apache for proxying with letsencrypt​.

I'm working on setting up an elog as lab-journal in our group with the following set-up:

• The elog is running on a server, with no back-end access for the users.
• Multiple people will use it, all loging in with the same user-name and password.
• The entries submitted to the log-book can only be edited for 24hours, as defined by the "Restrict edit time= 24" setting in the configuration file.

Now I encountered the following problem in my set-up: Entries that do not have attachments can be changed after these 24hours have passed, by the following set-up: If a user (in the current case me during testing) sets up a local elog on his computer and activates the synchronisation with the elog on the server, he can switch off the time-restriction for editing on his local elog, and if he synchronises the two log-books, the changed entry from the local elog will overwrite the original one from the server-elog.

Obviously this is not very desirable. Therefore I wanted to ask, whether anyone sees a possibility to prevent the editing of entries, which are older than the restricted edit time. A specific function or a change in the synchronisation behaviour would of course be the completest solution, but in my case the problem would also be solved if I could just prohibit the synchronisation. It is not needed, so no harm will be done if it is not possible.

Hello everybody,

we had to setup a new server for our elog some time ago because the old one crashed. We are now running version ELOG V3.1.1-0767eb0.

In the previous installation we had these nice buttons for file upload, time stamp and equation editor, which are also available here in the online version.

I already found that in the installation directory ("/usr/local/elog/") there exists a directory "scripts" containing a file "ckeditor-config.js", which also contains the lines:
"config.extraPlugins = 'timestamp,dndfiles,eqneditor,fileupload';" and "{ name: 'insert', items: [ 'Image', 'Table', 'HorizontalRule', 'Smiley', 'SpecialChar', 'PageBreak', 'FileUpload', 'Timestamp', 'EqnEditor' ] },"

These plugins seem to be available in the subdirectory "scripts/ckeditor/plugins/". But why are they not loaded? Is it just a version issue? Or something else?

It would be nice to get a hint.

Best regards,

Roland

I have configured a logbook with the logfile on, but when a user replies to an entry the line logged goes

Date Time [User@IP] {Logbook} NEW entry #0

How can I make the #0 be the real entry number for the reply?

Hi

I am trying to add "Extendable options" for some attribute as below example. However button to add new item for list appears only for the first "Extendable options", if disable the first with (;), button appears for the second. It means elog add new item button only the first line "Extendable options" not for other?

Is this a limitation or bug or am I doing something wrong?

Options Require = N/A, Camera{1}, Lens{2}, Other{3}
{1} MOptions Require Model= XNB-6001, PNM-7000VD, PNM-9000VQ, PNM-9320VQ
{2} MOptions Require Lens = SLA-T2480, SLA-T2480V, SLA-T4680, SLA-T4680V, SLA-T1080F, SLA-2M2400P, SLA-2M2800P, SLA-2M3600P, SLA-2M6000P, SLA-2M1200P, SLA-5M3700P, SLA-5M4600P, SLA-5M7000P, SLA-2M2400Q, SLA-2M2800Q, SLA-2M3600Q, SLA-2M6000Q, SLA-5M3700Q, SLA-5M4600Q, SLA-5M7000Q, SLA-2M2400D, SLA-2M2800D, SLA-2M3600D, SLA-2M6000D
{3} MOptions Require Other = Base Unit

Extendable options = Require Model

Extendable options = Require Lens

Extendable options = Require Other

Thank you
