  68364   Thu Jul 21 07:44:04 2016 Question Antonio Bulgheroniantonio.bulgheroni@gmail.comQuestionWindows2.9.2Different logbook files when running elogd as admin or normal user

Dear all, I have a problem with my window elog installation (2.9.2) and I would like to ask your help for solving it.

I'm using elog on my lab computer for a single user installation, so something very simple. It was running smoothly for many months using the automatic window service (i.e. elogd was started automatically at boot). I need to add that the service is started as the local administrator, while my user has no administrative rights. ELOG is installed in the standard location C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\ with the logbook folder inside and this is actually accessible only for admins.

On 8/04/2016, elogd crashed while I was saving an edited message. Then instead of restarting the service or rebooting the PC, I was just starting elogd manually (as me not as admin). It worked for many weeks. And now comes the problem: at the next reboot the elogd service came up automatically but all the new records I added in the logbook since I re-started manually are not there. Indeed in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\logbooks the latest entry is 160408a.txt. But if I stop the service and restart elogd manually (as me not as admin), then I can see in the logbook all the new entries.

My questions is where the ascii files corresponding to the new entries? They must be saved somewhere, maybe in some temporary folder. I want to copy them back and keep them in the backup to avoid unpleasant surprise.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Antonio

So I found the my log files, but this issue should probably be documented.

When running as admin my logbook files are where they should (C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\logbooks)

When running as local user (with no admin rights), elogd has no writing access to the logbooks directory. So it falls back to use C:\Users\[MyUserName]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\logbooks

In both cases elogd -v is not helping because it says:

elogd 2.9.2 built Feb 20 2013, 09:19:10 revision 2475
Config file  : c:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\elogd.cfg
Resource dir : c:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG
Logbook dir  : c:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\logbooks\
FCKedit detected
Indexing logbook "sample" in "logbooks\sample\" ... 

that is not true for the local user.

Thanks again for your help,

Antonio

I don't know why elogd uses different logbook directories depending on the user. Maybe you start it in different directories, or one user cannot read the config file and falls back to some default. Anyhow, you can start elogd interactively wit the -v flag which tells you which logbook files are parsed. There are no cache files or similar, everything is stored in Yymmdda.log files, you just have to search for them.

  68367   Thu Jul 21 13:08:44 2016 Question Antonio Bulgheroniantonio.bulgheroni@gmail.comQuestionWindows3.1.1Image source url missing

Dear all, sorry for asking you another question, but today after I finally recovered all my logbook entries, I updated to elog 3.1.1 and now I have a problem uploading images.

This is what I do:

  • Click on the insert "Image" button in the editor toolbar
  • In the popup window I select the picture I want to upload and then press "Send to server". I see the file appearing among the attachments at the bottom of the message.
  • I click OK, but the popup complains that the Image Source URL is missing. Indeed when I switch to the other tab the URL field is open.

I have tried on your demo logbook and after the image is sent to the server, the URL field is automatically filled.

What am I doing wrong? With 2.9.2 it was working normally.

 

Thanks again and best regards

Antonio

I have just made a fresh installation of ELOG 3.1.1 on a windows machine and unfortunately it is not working. If I try to insert a picture with the image button, the dialog complains that the image url is missing. If I drag-and-drop the picture on the edit area, it gets attached but not added as picture.

I tried already on two different computer and on the basic elog configuration.

Can you crosscheck it on your side on a win pc?

 

Thanks smiley

I don't know if you realized, but that (veeeeery old) wish has been implemented about five years ago or so. Now you can instert pictures into the body like this:

I know this thread is realy old. Anyways I would like to give a +1 on this request.  As a workaround I currently wrote a small PHP Image Hosting/Upload Script and embedded a link to it in the Menue. 

On that page the user uploads the image and gets a link which he/she can embedd using the button... Easy, but a bit to complicated for some users ;)

Right now it is not possible to easily include pictures into the message body, but I put it on the wishlist. Of course you can always refer to external pictures if you submit your text as HTML and put the proper tags there like this one:

and you can even scale them like

but of course this requires to have that image stored somewhere else. I will probably add a feature like

att:name.gif

which will reference a picture from the attachment, and will be converted to the full picture name after submitting that message.

Dear Stefan, thanks for your answer. 

I tried to add a picture to this reply but I got the same error message with both Firefox and Chrome. 

For sure the pictures were not included in the message, but I have the feeling they were not even uploaded to the server. 

(I'm on Windows 7) 

Thanks for your help,

Antonio

I entered this image exactly as you described. When I click OK, the dialog disappears. Can you check if it works for you on this server? Maybe with different browsers?

Dear Stefan, this is to confirm that also from my personal laptop from home I have the same issue. No pictures uploaded to this server from windows 10. 

Which OS & Browser are you using? 

thanks,

Thanks Andreas for your contribution and your quick fix. Just a question: how do you get the attachment URL? 

Cheers,

Antonio

Okay, I can confirm this bug: with Windows 10 using Firefox 47.0 the dialog hangs as soon as I press "Send it to the server". When it returns, it did not upload anything. That is why it asks for URL after pressing OK.

Quick fix: just attach the image and use the URL of the attachment.

I did it here: Rose

Cheers

Andreas
