Atrributes can only be defined once in a logbook.
But you can select which attributes are shown with the commands:

  • Show Attributes = <list>
    Attributes present in this list are shown in the single entry page. Omitting attributes can make sense for attributes which are automatically derived from other attributes via the Change <attribute> command.
  • Show Attributes Edit = <list>
    The same as Show Attributes, but for the entry form.

Those can be redifined in conditional attribute clauses.

(See https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html)

Hi everybody,

I am trying to setup my personal ELog, defining attributes and stuff like that. I just tried to make some nested commands but I really could not achieve that. 

The idea is something like this:

Attributes = Author

Options Author = Tizio{1}, Caio{2}, Sempronio{3}

{1} Attributes = Author, Project

{1} Options Project = Proj1{a}, Proj2{b}, Proj3{c}

{a} Attributes = Author, Project, Year

{a} Options Year = 2017, 2019

Anyway, when I select Proj1 nothing really happens. So, is there any way to set up nested commands like in the reported example?

Many thanks in advance!

P.S. Is there any documentation in which are reported all the possible commands that can be used?

Hi All,
I just installed elog latest version. I can see that my chkeditor (HTML encoding) is pretty simplified with respect to the version i can see there. Why this ? For example, it does not offer the possibility to upload images.

Could you please help me ?


Thank you
Andrea

  69807   Mon Jul 22 16:17:55 2024 Entry Andréandre.althaus@tu-dortmund.deBug reportAll3.1.5HTTP headers should be parsed case insensitive

I'm trying to run elog behind haproxy, but get the error "Invalid Content-Length in header" on posting.

As stated in the manual, haproxy rewrites all headers to lower case.

elogd parses the content-length header case sensitive which is against the HTTP RFC. This might also apply to other headers that get parsed.

For now I'm using the workaround from the manual:

global
  h1-case-adjust content-length Content-Length
  h1-case-adjust content-type Content-Type

backend elog
  option h1-case-adjust-bogus-server
  server elog 127.0.0.1:8080

But as the manual states, this should not be  used as a permanent solution.

I have the same problem. I found a temporary solution: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/69807

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.

If anyone manages to figure out what's wrong, I am happy to get rid of the extra reverse proxy layer!

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.

With the new version 3.1.4-3, I get another error: "Invalid Content-Length in header" when I click on "submit" of a new post. Viewing the logbooks works fine. The instance is currently live and running here: https://elog.test.km3net.de but I might change it anytime due to debugging etc.

This is a kind of difficult thing to debug (I spent the whole day and no progress). The only thing I've found was this post: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/iis-support-blog/invalid-content-length/ba-p/3038724 where it seems that some responses are not RFC conform and were rejected in the load-balancer.

The load balancer I use is HAProxy, the same as in my old setup where I got the infinite redirects, and I can't find any setting which would work. To my understanding, the most basic setup should work just fine. The SSL termination is on the load-balancer side so ELOG doesn't even have to know anything about it. The configuration is below. I am running a single instance, so there is not even replication with session keep-alive via cookies or anything fancy.

I also want to mention that I am runnin around 30 different services behind the load balancer and none of them are having any issues with the SSL termination or the load-balancing itself, that's why assume that something in ELOG is either non-conform or buggy.

Any thoughts? I'd really like to use the same infrastructure for the ELOG service as for every other service (automatic certificate renewal via letsencrypt, load-balancing, easy movement to other nodes, SSL termination etc.), to minimise the complexity of our Docker Swarm system.

Btw. I am running ELOG with -v but I don't see any error whatsoever in the logs:

  904   Mon Feb 7 09:58:25 2005 Question Anand Senguptaanandss@iucaa.ernet.inQuestionLinux repository of elog configuration files

Hi 

Is there a repository of elog configuration files for newbies to lookup and
learn ? I have seen the 'contributions' elog - useful as it is ... it is not
much. I would appreciate if someone can point out such a site where people
have contributed their elog configuration files.

Thanks,
AnandO.
  929   Fri Feb 11 15:44:38 2005 Question Anand Senguptaanandss@iucaa.ernet.inQuestionLinux Help with configuration newbie
Hi,

We have set up a elog server at our institute. The configuration file is
attached. We have the following queries:

1. When replying to another reply in a thread, the author_name attribute is
not substitued (as desired). Since this is a mandatory field, we are not
able to send the reply message. However, reply to the originial message
works fine.

2. "Use Email From = string" prepends an additional "" to the "From"
field in the e-mails.

3. "Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject" fixes the subject line while replying.
However when we add "Category" attribute to this list, it breaks.

Can someone help us?

Suggestions and tips will be thankfully recieved.

For me, when I put the Category in the fixed attributes for reply, I see the
Category but when I actually try to send the message - it says Category not
entered. I am sure I am doing something very stupid. Please help.
