I'm running  Elog version V3.1.4-ba84827 on Red Hat Linux 7.9. As part of migrating from an older in-house logbook to Elog, I need to upload all the old logbook entries. However, when I attempt to do that with the "elog" command line tool, I'm getting the error "command Submit not  allowed.

I read through a similar report from 2015 (entry #68149), but none of the potential causes seem to be at play here. The logbook is using PAM authentication, and I can log in to the web interface using the same credentials I'm using from the command line. The other case mentioned a dis-allowed encoding format, but my logbook is configured to allow all formats.

This is the command line I'm using:

/usr/local/elog/bin/elog -v -h logbook.aps.anl.gov -p 8081 -l On_Call -x -n 2 -a Date='10/19/2020 01:02' Author="David Wallis" Title='Test Upload' Status='Open' System='On-Call' -u 'wallis' '*****'  "This is a test message"

Hello,

How can one add an attachment to a new or existing entry with py_elog?
E.g. if I want to upload an image.

Thanks for the help!

Hello,

I'm new to elog software and I could not find a solution to my configuration issue. I would like to setup a configuration file similar to MEG experiment's elog.

https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/meg/

I'm interested in creating similar to the structure: "General", "Collaboratoin", "Sub-groups (with sub-sub groups "Software", "Hardware" etc). I cannot tell if this was created by using Top Group feature.

Can someone explain how this design structure can be achieved?

Thanks,

Daniel

I'm converting our on-call logbook, with 25 years of history, to elog. Is there a way to override the current date/time for the Date field with the creation date/time of the original logbook entry?

Hey all,

In the configuration of the Elog one can use

Preset Author = $long_name
Preset Author Email = $user_email

to have predefined values for the Author and Author Email fields when creating a new entry via the web interface.
Is it also possible to use these placeholders when creating a new entry via the Python API?

Cheers,
Florian

The documentation describing the use of conditionals uses a single character (letter or number) for names of conditions.  I don't see any update/change to that rule anywhere in the docs.

I have been using multi-character condition names successfully.   I find these are easier to use since they can be more descriptive of each condition.   It works, but I am concerned I may be doing something that might not be supported going forward.   (It is simple enough to change these, but I'd prefer to know if this practice is acceptable.)

Thank you, again, for this fine (and, may I add, fun?) tool.  I'm having a good time with it!

Hi,

I'm trying to increase the entry text constraint but not sure how to do this.  Couldn't find it in the documentation or may be I missed it.  Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am trying to implement a Custom input forms by following this  https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Contributions/49. Is there a way to also insert an image or files to it? I want to take a snap from the iPad and want that to go as an attachment or attach a file(s) into the form. Is there a way to do that?

Your suggestions are highly appreciated.
