icon5.gif   ssl certificate, posted by Giuseppe Cucinotta on Wed Jan 25 17:41:30 2023 
We obtained a certificate from let's encrypt in order to replace the self signed certificate provided with elog. We copied the new certificates replacing
the older server.crt

The problem is that when restarted elog raises an error related to the fact it is looking for server.crt and it doesn't find it anymore.

Hi Giuseppe,

The new certificate files should be copy under ssl folder (/usr/local/elog/ssl or /usr/share/elog/ssl by example, closed to templates and script
directories) in place of the embedded (autosigned) certificate files enclosed with ELOG source.

Hi Laurent,

thanks very much! Probably I've copied the certificate in the wrong directory. I'll try ASAP

Hi I'm here again,

According to my conf file I run elog under a specified user and group different from root. So I copied the .pem file I obtained
from certbot in /etc/ssl as well as /urs/local/elog/ssl and ssl folder in the user directory (I will call it <user-dir>) but when

I do run elog under:

Usr = elog
Grp = elog

But that does not change the location of my certificates: they are in "/usr/local/elog/ssl".
icon5.gif   Exporting the entries from ELOG, posted by Illam Pakkirisamy on Tue Feb 28 18:21:01 2023 
Hi,

Is there a way to export the ELOG entries into a file like an Excel sheet or something.  I see import but not export.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks Stefan for your help.  It works but the only issue is, the screenshots that were included in the body of the entries are not usable. 
Not sure if there is any workarounds for that.

icon5.gif   3.1.5 - Mass edit bug + Wrong version, posted by Cryptage on Tue Feb 7 12:51:54 2023 
Hi,

I've just installed the news 3.1.5 version and I have 2 problems.
I don't know if it works with older versions because I started with latest.
    icon2.gif   Re: 3.1.5 - Mass edit bug + Wrong version, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Feb 7 16:21:37 2023 
I checked and found that the bug which removed the main text was there since the beginning, but it's only triggered if you switch elog to French,
it doesn't happen in the English version. I changed a bit the text processing so now it should work also in the French version.

I also changed the version number which is shown at the bottom to 3.1.5.
       icon2.gif   Re: 3.1.5 - Mass edit bug + Wrong version, posted by Cryptage on Tue Feb 7 17:31:20 2023 
Thanks for your prompt help.
It looks good for text but I still have problem with "select" function (even in English).
          icon2.gif   Re: 3.1.5 - Mass edit bug + Wrong version, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Feb 7 20:45:31 2023 
If it works with a simple edit, then why don't you use that one to edit individual values. I checked and version 3.1.4 had already the same problem,
so it was not newly introduced. I would have to invest a couple of hours to fix this issue correcly, which I simply don't have right now.
             icon2.gif   Re: 3.1.5 - Mass edit bug + Wrong version, posted by Cryptage on Wed Feb 8 10:05:03 2023 
Thanks !

Sometime I need to edit multiple values to add a new choice.
By exemple, if I add a new column "status" (open, closed...) , it's mandatory to use select menu to add the new value to existent

Hello,

I  tried to install Elog 3.1.4 from rpm on Oracle Linux 9 with command:

sudo dnf localinstall elog-3.1.4-3.el7.x86_64.rpm

Hi Daniel,

The RPM has been build for EL7 so SSL share libs should be different with the one provided by EL9. :-)

Try to rebuild from tarball source with enclosed buildrpm script (or with elog srpms if you find any : rpm -i elog*.src.rpm && vim ~/rpmbuild/SPEC/elog.spec
icon4.gif   CKeditor Settings Cant Be Changed , posted by James Smallcombe on Wed Feb 1 11:13:21 2023 
I wanted to change some CKeditor settings so tried modifying elog/scripts/ckeditor to no avail.

I wiped elog/scripts/ and dropped a fresh download of CKeditor4, with only the basic extensions. But when I open the elog it still shows the
full toolbar, with elog default style and with all extensions operational.

elogd checks for the "scripts/ckeditor/ckeditor.js" file to detect the presence of CKeditor.

So it was just a clearing cache issue. elogd was telling the browser to use/not use CKeditor based on the aformentioned, and browser was then using the
cached version. Fixed now.

And FYI for anyone who reads this when trying to modify CKeditor themselves, it seems elog needs the iFrame Editing Area plugin included.
          icon2.gif   Re: CKeditor Settings Cant Be Changed , posted by Antonio Bulgheroni on Thu Feb 2 10:23:45 2023 
It means that you could replace the currently distributed CKeditor with a fresh vanilla installation of CKeditor?

Yes replacing the CKeditor folder with a vanila download works without issue, provided you clean the cache.
For what I originally wanted to do (modifiying the toolbar) I could have just run elog/scripts/ckeditor/samples/toolbarconfigurator/index.html
and edited the config file, but a clean cache is needed (on Chrome, Firefox and Edge).

Hello,

I noticed the wikipedia article of the ELOG got deleted
in November 2021.
    icon2.gif   Re: Wikipedia Article deleted, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Jan 19 17:00:37 2023 
I agree. I ahead ;-) I think it is not a good idea if the ELOG author pushes on that, but better someone else.

Best,
Stefan

It looks to me like only an author of an article can contradict a deletion. I did not find a single method to even comment on the deletion.
I am not an Wikipedia expert, can anyone suggest on how to push for the article to be restored? Or do we just write it again, until people stop
deleting it?
          icon2.gif   Re: Wikipedia Article deleted, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Fri Jan 20 13:12:48 2023 
I have requested an undeletion of the article. The article was deleted  "PROD", which means that someone tagged it. And if noone removes
the tag, it could be deleted.

I could revive the article. So in the future, One should have an eye on it and maybe update the current version of the software.

It appears to me that this is a really stupid problem: the article provides many links to sources, but they are just links, not "references".
That does not count, since links could be something else than references.

I'll try to edit it and transform the list of external links into references to verify the text. Lets hope that this will suffice.

Wikipedia has been an unreliable source for a very long time, just for the reasons that we are seeing here now with psi

I deliberately stopped contributing to Wikipedia years ago after I added an observation to an entry.  That is, a piece of what could be

I am still struggling to get ELOG running behind a load balancer and hope to get some advice here. As already reported in https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/69542 I
observed an infinite loop of redirects when prompted to log in and using a non-empty password file. Without a password, the service worked as
expected. This was with version 3.1.3.

I put the ELOG service behind an Apache reverse proxy which is now sitting behind the HAProxy. It works like this, but it's just a workaround. I
am pretty sure that ELOG has problems to communicate with HAProxy correctly and it seems that Apache is more forgiving. So that the chain HAProxy ->
Apache -> ELOG and vice versa is working.
