Hi all,

We've been happily using ELOG for years, but ran into an odd problem when replacing the old Solaris server that ran the ELOG with a newer box running Ubuntu. 

Basically, when I try to search the log, the URL seems to be malformed. I.e. the form produces the query string:

?mode=summvry&reverse=0&reverse=1&npp=35&m&y&Authorthor=ericq

Instead of a functional one like:

?mode=summary&reverse=1&npp=35&Author=ericq

We're running v2.8.1, since we like using the global write password mode; our log is viewable here: http://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:8080 Any ideas what could've gone wrong? Installation was pretty straightforward, the code compiled happily on the ubuntu machine. 

Incidentally, I notice this logbook is running V3, using CKeditor. Any hints when these might be available for public use?

Thanks!

Old versions are not supported any more. I only can fix bugs in the current version. Probably the bug you report is already gone (just give it a try). If you need the global write password mode, you can enable guest read access to your logbook and define a single use with the write password, that's then almost equivalent.

We've upgraded our ELOG installation to v3, and we really like the new CKeditor. However, one of my users has noticed a problem when using Iframe HTML elements with CKeditor; namely that the HTML is not present when trying to edit the post, and saving the post erases the HTML. 
I was able to reproduce this fairly simply, by trying to embed a youtube video. I would create a new post, click the "Source" view in CKeditor, and paste something like the following:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RzZgFKoIfQI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Upon submission, this produces a totally normal .log file in the logbook directory, and the video is viewable on the ELOG page:

Encoding: HTML
========================================
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RzZgFKoIfQI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Then, upon hitting "Edit," I am greeted by a totally empty CKeditor window, and hitting "Source" does not display the original HTML. 
Any help is greatly appreciated!

PS: Including the first line of the logfile in this very post would cause the submitted post to be truncated for some reason, although the preview looked fine. Pasting it here also caused the log to end abruptly. The string is "(dollar sign)(at symbol)MID(at symbol)(dollar sign): 9"

This is an issue with CKEditor, not with ELOG. 

Maybe this helps:

Hi

I am trying to install to mac 10.10.2 - everything works almost fine, but when I issue the sudo make install I get

Installing example logbook to /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo
install: logbooks/demo/2001/011108a.log -> /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/2001/011108a.log
install: elogd.plist: No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 71

Any idea why ?

Thanks

Alex

Sorry I forgot to include the elogd.plist file in the distribution. I attached it to this entry, so just copy it into the elog root directory and run again "make install".

Thanks! now install works fine - but I cannot find how to open and start writing- I do

/usr/local/sbin/elogd
