icon5.gif   elogd lost entry database without restart during file system trouble, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Apr 30 09:54:17 2015 
I'm running ELOG since several years with rather heavy usage.
Last week I've upgrades from 3.0.0 to 3.1.0 and this week I had twice the same problem:
elogd lost the index for old entries and showed empty logbooks, without having restarted.

First, I can only fix problems which are reproducible. Can we do another power outage at PSI again?

But seriously, I guess what happened is that elog sees an empty directory when the AFS server
icon5.gif   Odd behaviour when attaching a file to an entry, posted by David Pilgram on Sun Apr 12 21:12:29 2015 
Having installed v3.1.0 on a test logbook, I find that I can browse and select a file, but when I click on the "Upload" button, I get a pop-up
message from the browser asking me:

"This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have entered may not be saved."

This problem has been fixed in Version 3.1.0-2. Please upgrade.

Thanks Stefan, that did the trick.

Had a bit of an effort with the git repository, though, kept getting 403 errors when tried the

git clone https://bitbucket.org/ritt/elog as per the "download" page.
icon8.gif   Max Logbooks for Email notify, posted by Oliver Kleinau on Wed Apr 8 11:40:27 2015 
Hi,

we've got 109 logbooks in Elog. Whenever I set a notify for all logbooks in configuration menu it is limited to 73 entrys. After saving the
changes the rest of the entrys are cut off.
    icon2.gif   Re: Max Logbooks for Email notify, posted by Oliver Kleinau on Fri Apr 10 08:37:19 2015 
It seems to be the GET buffer of the elog-Server. The GET statement is cut off after &sub_lb72=1&sub_ eg. 1000 chars.

It was str variable in function process_http_request in elogd.c.

This should have the size of received buffer.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

Ok, I fixed this in the current GIT version. You might check if that works for you.

This is an announcement for the ELOG version 3.1.0 being released just now. Among several bug fixes and an improved Drag & Drop interface for attachments,
it contains a long awaited "autosave" feature.

Let's assume that you write an ELOG entry, and keep the window open for a longer time (like to write some shift notes over several hours).

[quote="Andreas Luedeke"]Now I'm confused: if I create an entry with "elog -n 2 ...", then I put HTML code into elog and it is displayed as HTML. This HTML
code does NOT convert a "<" into "<", otherwise you could not display any HTML.
But of course this code can be wrongly formatted, for example it can contain a </table> tag without a <table> tag before it. This will definitely spoil

Thank you all of you for your notes ...
Anyway I have no time at the present to debug this ... at the level of configuration file. 
I discovered however that the Incognito Mode of Chrome does NOT seem to have this problem??

Hello,

related to the permission, is it possible to set permission ?, so only the owner or certain people can view list all logbok and regular member
can only see their own logbook, not the others.
    icon2.gif   Re: Permission to view, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Mar 20 09:25:11 2015 
Yes, it is possible. And explained in ELOG documentation.

I just read all administrator guide especially in :

http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#access

and I didnt find it that exactly match with my need, or maybe I read wrong section :P

You need

Password file = logbook.pwd
Login user = <name of allowed user(s)>
             icon2.gif   Re: Permission to view, posted by Banata Wachid Ridwan on Fri Mar 27 08:19:56 2015 
so if that is the solution, all user that not allowed cannot login and cannot fill logbook

in my case, user still can login and fill logbook but cannot see other user's data on the same logbook, so user only see their own data.

but few members have a special permission to see all.

No.
