There is a python API to access ELOG via HTTP: https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog

Hi Illam

You actually have to change the source code of elog and then recompile. Download the code from https://bitbucket.org/ritt/elog/src/master/, change the value of the variable TEXT_SIZE in the file src/elogd.h

Default ist #define TEXT_SIZE 250000

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.
Illam

An ELOG vulnerability has been reported, thanks to Asif Akbar of Trend Micro Security Researchworking with Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative:

https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-20-252/

The issue has been fixed in the current release 3.1.4-033e292 and in the RPM http://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/elog-latest.x86_64.rpm

Best,

Wow thanks again Stefan for your kind and prompt responses!!

In JS, you have access to the browser URL via window.location. So you can write conditional code depending on the actual elog command.

I think I know what the answer(s) will be already.. that I will need to address this in JS. I don't want each screen to run/show the same code, other than the ones I want to.  AND I do not want to have to create a custom form for each 'menu option' to achieve this (if possible).

Thanx,

John

Attached the shell scripts using awk and sed how I have migrated two separated logbooks into one single and how I re-adjusted certain attributes.
