Hello,

Can anyone please send me, or publicly provide, working Ubuntu 10.10 binaries (64-bit) for ELOG?

I have compiled and installed the program. While the core functionalities are OK, I have run into irritating bugs in filtering and config editing that are not present in the online demo (but are in my local demo and logbook).

Hence I suspect compilation to be the cause.

For the curious:

• Saving the config within ELOG scrambles the elog.conf file

 Hi Stefan,

First : Compliments with your fine application !

The issue : A user wants to search the database. He selects one of the quick filters (e.g. "Show Last / Month"). Next he fills in the form and as long as text boxes are used there is no problem. But when he chooses a value from a populated drop-down list, the quick filter disappears. Other way round (first drop-down list and then the quick filter) no problem.

Kind regards,

Peter de Mol

Is is possible to add formatting (such as <b> tags, etc..) to the "thread display" option?

Hi Andreas,

>Of course the attachment has to be in the public logbook and the link in the hidden one.

The issue I have is that the attachment is in the hidden logbook, the link would have to be in the 
public one...

I'll also look again at putting in the links in the text (normally I use plain encoding, rather than html).

I wondered if there had been some flag for the config file whereby the original file for attachment was
processed by ImageMagick, but not stored, only the .png file(s) stored - or rather, some other way that achieved
the same end. as there is no such flag at present.

For now, anyway, I can attach the documents/pics I want, then go in and delete the 'originals' as saved in the
logbook, leaving just the .png files.  But maybe something for the wishlist?

Dear ELOG users,

the ELOG discussion forum at PSI contains in meantime many old accounts with non-functional email addresses. Since this causes some overhead, it has been decided to clean up the current account database. In order to keep your account alive, please log in at the above forum before Friday, Sept. 30th, 2011.  If you fail to log in until that date, your account will be automatically deleted. Note that it will be always possible to re-create your account afterwards by simply clicking on "Register as new user", but before that you won't get automatic email notifications any more once your account has be deleted.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the database contains currently too many wrong email addresses causing some flooding of our mail systems.

Best regards,

     Stefan Ritt

Hi,

We have a problem with the search command: Since our last upgrade to v2.9.0-2418 the searched string is pre- and postfixed with ASCII character expressed in % format, see the attached image. The searched string is prefied with %255E and postfxed by %2524 in the URL. And teh search fails. This affects searches from drop-down menus.

Thanks in advance.

 Hi there,

I have a connection problem with an actual elog installation. Many Browsers like as Chrome, Firefox and IE don't  connect to the elog server with ssl = 1 in elogd.cfg. 

I tested with Firefox 3.6 and IE 7 installations and there are no problems.

I guess it's a bug. Does someone have a suggestion to solve that problem?

Thx. Olaf

Hi All,

Perhaps a trivial question but some issues have arisen accessing my long-running elog with SSL enabled.  I suspect firewalls and browser updates are involved and I do not have the time or experience to diagnose and debug such a potential black-hole of difficulties.  Instead I am looking for a quick fix, and the first step - switching off sll - seems to work.  Now I would like to use redirect so that the elog is running under apache, however this is where I have stumbled; I have passwords so the plan is to eventually secure using apache.  Apache works fine and is running pages on ports 80 and 443, although I seem unable to redirect the elog (port 8080).  Following the instructions on the administrators guide I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /elog/ on this server.

The page is found at least so my redirect is doing something, and I suspect the solution is trivial, though I'm not too sure where to start.

-------------------

Also, what is  the best practice for updating one's elog version.  I originally installed using a tarball.
