Why would you transfer the message to the text box?
 
You can have a "Message" attribute, which is an option list.
If the first option "Custom" is chosen, then you get an additional field "Custom Message".
We have an attribute "Entry type", there we could add the type "Message", if the attribute should not exist for other types of entries.
 
As an alternative you can have bookmarks in your browser, where the title field is preset already in the URL. In this Forum you can preset the Subject field by:
https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?cmd=New&ignore=1&pSubject=test:please+ignore

As you've pointed out, for the very same browsers D&D works with the Forum, and that is ELOG 3.1.0.
Hence I can only conclude that it is neither a browser, nor an ELOG issue, but a problem of your local installation. Maybe you try with a fresh and clean installation first? What Linux are you using, by the way?
Or you've picked by bad luck a 3.1.0 version where D&D did really not work. But I cannot tell, since you did not specify the git revision in the ELOG version (it is possible now ;-)
Cheers

On my logbooks, the "drop attachements here" area does not have a dashed line border.

I don't see anything in the elogd.conf file that pertains to this feature.

I think it would be nice to have three options:
- "Submit": making the draft entry a "real" entry, with an ID
- "Abort": keeping the entry as a draft entry as it currently is (or was 10 sec ago)
- "Delete": removing the draft entry.

I understand that the draft is overwritten currently by the "Back" button, but why does it get an ID and does not stay as a "Draft"?
As a quick fix you may skip the "Abort" for now and just provide "Submit" and "Delete".

Dear David,
what I meant with a "fresh and clean installation" is, that you do not install elog on the production system over the existing elog, but instead on another Linux box.
One possible problem could be that you have a modified CSS (or some other file), which is not overwritten by the ELOG installation. That file could break the D & D functionality.
My advise would be, to do an ELOG test installation and try D & D on the demo logbook of that installation. If that works, then you'll need to find out which of your local files is the culprit.
In any case, I would advise to grap the latest source from the development branch in Git and build from that: there had been many bugfixes since April.
Kind Regards
Andreas
 
PS: Stefan, V3.1.0-2411f95 is from April and you've spend a lot of work on ELOG since then. Maybe you could merge the development branch and release the 3.1.1 as an RPM? Thanks!

Andreas,

I am running the latest version of the elogd source RPM that I could find - ELOG V3.1.0-2411f95 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago), with kernel level 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64. I can try grabbing the latest source code from Git and try building that. There are a couple other fixes I'd like to apply anyway. Thanks!

As far as I know the Javascript code of the CKeditor runs on the client, I would not expect the server to be the culprit. I would first try a different browser, then check if the ELOG installation was complete (check for warnings?)

Do you have a Javascript error console in your browser? It should tell you something about what is going wrong.

I've browsed the web for the error and apparently it is appearing with a variety of IE versions in combination with certain versions of the CKeditor.

Sorry, I can't help you with the problem: only found problem reports, no fixes. Therefore my advise (for now) would be: either use the old ELOG version or use a different browser. Microsoft anyway announced the end-of-life for IE with Windows 10.

Sorry for the typo,of course I meant IE 11.

I do get on "Error on page" error. After switching on the developer tools, I get the following output:

{exception} The value of the property 'dndInit' is null or undefined, not a Function object. I get this error when I trying to make a new entry.

If I use ELOG version 2.9.2-2455 it all works fine, but that version has an different editor.

I think I remember that you can savely ignore the warning message, as long as you don't try to use the equation editor. But I haven't tested it myself; my servers can access the internet - although from behind firewall.

You should be able to configure the CKeditor with some configuration file: what plugins are to be included etc. But I haven't done it myself yet.

Well, this server has no internet connection and will not get an internet connection.
Is there a way around this issue? I do not want to use an equation editor

Okay, it is very easy: just edit "scripts/ckeditor-config.js" in the installation directory and remove the two references of "eqneditor". Any new browser session will not have the equation editor anymore.
