drag and drop attachments not working with web server authentication, posted by Devin Bougie on Tue Jan 12 17:38:52 2016
|
| Hello,
The "Drop attachments here..." section does not work when using Webserver authentication. Both elog 3.1.1 (the binary RPM) and apache are running on EL6.6 and are configured according to the docs. Authentication works fine and the normal "Choose File - Upload" attachment table works fine. However, when dragging an attachment to the "Drop attachments here..." section the dashes on the border turn green but when dropping the attachment nothing happens. If we revert to File authentication, everything works fine.
I don't see any errors in our elog or apache log files. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Devin |

Thanks, Stefan. I read that before asking my question, but didn't see a resolution in that thread. I am already at 3.1.1, and I am testing on a clean installation. Are you saying that the solution is in the development branch after the release of 3.1.1?
Thanks again,
Devin |

No. What the thread says is first try this forum, see if you can drag and drop here. If not, you have a problem on your browser. If yes, you have somewhere some old JavaScript file around. Might be in the cache of your browser.

Yeah, I had tried that and it did work in your demo forum. It just didn't work in mine with authentication = webserver, even with a clean browser profile.
However, after playing with the config and a few restarts, everything now seems to be working properly. Really not sure what changed, but thanks for helping.

drag and drop attachments only working for admins if "restrict edit = 1", posted by Devin Bougie on Tue Jan 19 22:03:36 2016
|
I'm finally able to reproduce this, and my initial description was incorrect. If we have "restrict edit = 1", only an "Admin user" can use the "Dop attachments here..." or the "Image" button in the CKEditor. The old "Choose File," "Upload" buttons, however, works just fine for anyone.
If we have "restrict edit = 0", anyone can upload an attachment using all three interfaces.
This is very reproducible by toggling restrict edit in the global section or for an individual logbook.

entry does not appear in list while it is being edited, posted by Devin Bougie on Wed Jan 20 20:38:17 2016

When an entry is being edited, it does not appear in the list once it's been autosaved or the editor manually clicks on "Save." This has been reproduced in the "Linux Demo" forum on this site, as well as on a clean installation of the 3.1.1 binary on EL6.
It would be great if there was a configuraiton option to control this, but I haven't found it yet. To reproduce:
- edit an existing entry
- click on "Save"
- view the list for that logbook, and the entry will be hidden until you click "Submit"
Obviously this becomes a problem when a user edits an entry, but navigates away from the browser window before submitting the changes.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Devin |

Hi Devin,
this is the intended bevaviour, there is nothing wrong with that.
Only a submitted entry should be visible to the world.
If you would have played a little bit longer, you would have found out yourself how you'll get access again to this so-called "draft" entry after closing the browser window:
as soon as you attempt to create - as the same user - an new entry, you'll be asked if you want to continue editing your old draft entry instead.
I've attached a screenshot of this "pending draft" menu, as it has been shown for this entry before I've submitted it.
Kind Regards, Andreas
PS: You gave a very clear "failure" description: what you did, what you expected to happen and what you've observed what happened instead. Well done: that deserves a swift answer!
