Hi Kester,
yes, I did run into the same problem, that I could not even delete old drafts due to our restrict edit time.
We allow anonymous submissions in our operation logbooks. After a while drafts of unsubmitted messages just pile up; and I need to remove them as administrator.
While I can do that easily for anonymous drafts, I cannot do that for drafts of other users: I don't easily see those drafts.
It would be really nice, if drafts would be handled different then other entries regarding "Restrict edit time" as you've suggested.
Cheers, Andreas

Hello,

When using restrict edit time together with autosave, there is the following problem: The counter for restrict edit time seems to start after the autosave. If the time is up, it is no longer possible to submit the report.
It is also not possble to edit old drafts if restrict edit has elapsed since the creation of the save.
Autosave is definitively a nice new feature. However, I think it would be better if the counter for restrict edit time only started after the "submit" of the report and allowed edits to drafts no matter how old they are. As it is one needs to either set a really high value for restrict edit time or turn off autosave.
The issue seems to be related to: https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68103

icon1.gif   Paste figure from Clipboard, CKEditor 4.5.1 and Firefox 42, posted by Simon Däster on Thu Nov 5 16:59:34 2015 

I tried to paste an Image from Clipboard into the CKEditor 4.5.1. Unfortunatelly, that doesn't work. I used Firefox, version 42. When I  looked in the javascript error console, it reported that "TypeError: b is undefined, ckeditor.js:1139:112". The variable  d.config.filebrowserImageUploadUrl could not be found.

I set the variable in the file ckeditor-config.js in the folder scripts, but that didn't solve the problem. As far as I can tell, Pasting Image from Clipboard does not work in this forum neither, but I don't know whether this is in purpose.

Pasting via the button "Paste from Word" works as it inserts a 64base formated image, but that's not what I'm searching for. Also normal upload of files works fine and puts the file in the correct folder (logbook/year/)

That seems a CKEditor problem. Can you see if it works on their site (ckeditor.com). The current version is 4.5.4. Maybe they fixed it. You can upgrade CKEditor yourself in elog by just copying the new verson over the old /elog/scripts/ckeditor directory.

Updating CKeditor did work, thanks for the tip.

Hi David,
I can confirm a bug: changing the encoding does not work if you have a required attribute starting with a digit. The following minimal config reproduces the bug:
[global]
Default encoding = 1
[test]
Attributes = 7SWM 
Options 7SWM = Name
Required Attributes = 7SWM

Whatever you choose as a default encoding you'll be stuck with. If you remove the "Required Attributes" it works again.

The workaround is very simple: do not use any attributes that do start with a digit :-)

Cheers, Andreas

Hello, Is the below an issue or am I doing something incorrectly? Creating an attribute starting with a number and then including that attribute in the Required Attribute list prevents access to the CKEditior. This appears to be the case at least with FreeBSD (10.2 Rel) using Elog V3.1.0 and Windows 7 with Elog V3.1.1-3f311c5. The problem can be recreated using the Elog supplied sample config and adding the necessary attribute, sample config showing below. While attribute 7SWM is part of the Required Attributes the CKEditor fails to appear, remove 7SWM from the Required Attributes list and the CKEditor returns. [global] port = 8080 [demo] Theme = default Comment = General Linux Tips & Tricks Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, 7SWM Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other Options 7SWM = Name-1, Name-2, Name-3 Extendable Options = Category Required Attributes = Author, Type, 7SWM Page Title = ELOG - $subject Reverse sort = 1 Quick filter = Date, Type Thank you, David Dunne

 

icon5.gif   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
