icon1.gif   size of atributes in summary mode, posted by Diego on Wed Feb 10 22:55:42 2016 elog_pic.PNG

Good night,

I would be grateful if someone could indicate me, how could I increase the size of the block where the text of the atribute are in the summary mode.I would like, for example, increase the size of the "subject" you can see on the picture.

Thank you so much!!!

 

 

 

icon1.gif   Execute new|edit doesn't seem to work, posted by Juergen Diefenbach on Fri Feb 26 17:35:54 2016 
I am trying to use the "Execute new|edit|delete" feature to track changes to an elog using git.

When a new entry is created a shell script should be executed (certain attributes of the logbook entry should be passed as arguments to it). The script will then automatically stage all changes and create an appropriate git commit message. For a "new" entry in the logbook the commit message is a bit more verbose. When editing or deleting a message only a short commit message like "Edit message 25" should be created. Therefore I really need to distinguish between "new", "edit", and "delete".

However, I experienced unreproducible behavior when creating "new" entries. Sometimes the command specified by "Execute new=" is called, sometimes the one specified by "Execute edit=" is executed. Most of the time it doesn't work as expected. Frown

What I did so far to understand what goes wrong is I looked into elogd.c and found in
void submit_elog(LOGBOOK * lbs)
that bedit is sometimes true and sometimes false, when creating a new entry, although it should be false then (right?).
This is why elogd then sometimes retrieves the wrong shell command from getcfg(lbs->name, "Execute edit"...) instead of getcfg(lbs->name, "Execute new"...) around line 23610 (not exact due to some eprintf()s inserted here and there to look at bedit and so on).

When deleting an entry, everything works fine: the shell command defined via "Execute delete=" is run, but this happens somewhere else in the code so it's not a surprise.

Do you have an idea how to fix this or can you point me in some direction to further track it down? Thank you!
icon1.gif   pdf thumbnails in latest Imagemagick, posted by John Haggerty on Mon Jun 6 05:51:44 2016 

I think with the latest Imagemagick from brew (6.9.4-7) that pdf thumnails no longer get made; the attachment is there but the message "Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation" apears instead of the thumbnails.  I couldn't make out from elogd -v 3 why they failed, but I couldn't make out the exact convert command that was failing.  This is on MacOS 10.11.5 and I think the updated version ofImagemagick was the last thing that changed before it failed.

icon1.gif   Email report has incorrect pictures, posted by Austin Reid on Tue Jul 12 21:23:13 2016 emailedversion.jpgokversion.jpg
My group uses the precompiled Debian binary, and I use ELCode to format my log reports. (I've found it to be the easiest way to generate inline images)

Yesterday, I submitted an entry that renders correctly on the elog itself, but the email report that was sent to my collaborators was quite confusing, because every picture in it was the same. Interestingly, all the images used inline in the report were attached to the original, but they were stripped of their context.

I've attached screen shots of both reports.

Here is the problem:

How can I escape [] inside url tag?

\[\] seems not working.

icon1.gif   string length limit in url tag, posted by Don on Wed Jul 20 16:03:24 2016 

What is the string length limit in url tag and how to increase it?

For example,

[url=http://example.com?<text_string>]click here[/url]

When I provide very long <text_string>, it was truncated and showed partial link only.

icon1.gif   Disable Delete option when user has the capability to Edit an entry, posted by John Becker on Wed Nov 30 18:06:26 2016 2016-11-30_131205.jpg

Hi, I have a logbook where users can add entries and edit entries.

The delete option has been removed from the menu, but when they edit an entry they are able to delete the entry.

Is there a way to remove the Delete option from the menu that appears when Editing an entry?

Please advise,

 

Thanks,

 

John

 

icon1.gif   Datepicker not showing, posted by Christine Quicot on Thu Dec 8 15:39:13 2016 

Hello users,

 

When I configure an attribute with "Type <attribute>= date", in the new entry form a clic on the calendar symbol does nothing.

Reading the source code I see it's trying to open a window named "cal.html" through javascript (function opencal) but this file doesn't exist anywhere in source elog files.

 

Thanks
