You might try to specify an absolute path to the password file in the configuration.

I would need a complete minimal configuration that creates that problem.

Hello Stefan,

I created a custom form with the example you provided. When I enter the Data and Submit the Form I get the error message "Datei passwordfile.xml kann nicht geöffnet werden: No such file or directory".  Posting stuff works in all other logbooks.  Only in the "logbook with the form" there seems to be an error. (or misconfiguration on my side)

sections from my conf. File:

[global]
Password file = passwordfile.xml

(...)

[ShiftCheck]
Comment = Shift Check List

Attributes = Hardware, Raith-Mitarbeiter, Rechnername, Rechnername-alt, Details, SN, AV-Nummer, System, Key, IT-Mitarbeiter, Erledigt_datum, Ausgemustert_datum
Quick filter = Shift, Author
Options Shift = Morning, Evening, Night

Enable attachments = 0
Show text = 0
Custom new form =forms\shiftcheck.html
Custom edit form = forms\shiftcheck.html
Custom display form = forms\shiftcheck.html
List after submit = 1

I tried copying the password file to the forms directory, the logbook directory, the ShiftCheck logbook directory and the elog root folder.  I always get the same error.  I tried entering the absolute path, there was no difference in the result.

When I disable the password file I am able to post without any problems.  Can you help me out?

Dear ELOG users,

starting with SVN revision 2328, custom input forms are implemented. This allows application specific formats for check lists etc. In our specific case we had to implement a shift check list, which was quite long. Furthermore the check list should be optimized for an iPad, which we take in the field and record various checks and readings (in our case some gas pressure gauges at the PSI particle accelerator). Since the standard ELOG interface was too inflexible, a completely hand-written form was needed. The form can be activated by the new configuration options Custom New Form, Custom Edit Form and Custom Display Form, one for a new entry, an entry to edit and and entry to display. In our case we used the same form for all three cases. This is how the shift check list looks under the Safari Browser on a PC:

Capture.png

And here is how it looks on the iPad:

IMAG0036.jpg

Each section can be collapsed and expanded (blue arrows at the left), and various internal checks are made before the check list can be submitted.

Implementing such forms is however more something for the advanced user, since you have to hand-write HTML with CSS and JavaScript code. It can then however be a powerful method for check lists. Please find in the attachments the elogd.cfg configuration for that logbook and the shiftcheck.html source code file. It is a bit complicated since the page is a static page, elogd just serves it from the file. This requires all the dynamic functions to be implemented inside the HTML file with JavaScript. To display an entry for example, the JavaScript loads the raw data with the "?cmd=Download" command and the populates the form fields. The collapsing and expanding is done by using CSS properties. The integrated style sheet was optimized for the rendering on an iPad. Rather large fonts were chosen so that the items can be checked easily with your finger tips. Various parameters are sent between the browser and the elogd program via hidden fields and cookies. So only something for experts! But if you go through the effort and hand-write the form, it can be very handy. Note that you have to upgrade to SVN revision 2328 for the three new options.

Hi Sofian,

it should work like this:

Options Type = Fault{1}, Test{2}, Report{3}

{1} Options Fault Status = Open{a}, Fixed{b}
{2,3} Preset Fault Status = NA
{1} Preset Icon = attn.png
{2,3} Preset Icon = icon1.gif

It is described under "Multiple conditions" in the documentation (https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#conditional).

Cheers and good luck!

Andreas

Hi,

First of all, thanks for all the great work, we all thank you here at SESAME synchrotron smiley

I am trying to set a conditional attribute where selecting one option in that attribute should trigger multiple outcomes as shown below:

Options Type = Fault{1_1&1_2}, Test{2_1&2_2}, Report{2_1&2_2}

{1_1} Options Fault Status = Open{a}, Fixed{b}
{2_1} Preset Fault Status = NA
{1_2} Preset Icon = attn.png
{2_2} Preset Icon = icon1.gif

I tries adding "&" as shown but that didn't work, my goal is to have 1_1 and 1_2 triggered whenever I select "Fault" as type, how can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Sofian.

Forgive me I'm not incredibly Elog savy yet.

A little backround about this log book -  I have our log set up as individual user names.  The log book is designed for entrys to be made when a process shutdown needs to be bypassed.  The operator will create an entry and submit it.  Then a supervisor will come in after and review/approve it.  I've removed the edit function,  but left the "Reply" option available for the supervisor to go into the same entry and check off the "Reviewed" attribute.  When the reviewed attribute is checked off, even with a different logged in author the next entry ID still shows the original author that put in the entry rather then the author who clicked reviewed.  If there a way to get around this?

[Process Bypass]
Comment = (Not in use right now, currently developing)

Several strings in ELOG are limited to 256 chars. It is likely the limit for URLs, too.
The magic number "256" appears 285 times in the elogd.c file.
It is probaly easier if you compress long URLs with goo.gl
Cheers, Andreas
Don wrote:

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.

Very easy: uncomment the line USE_SSL=1 in the Makefile and then compile.

You'll need of course a gcc compiler on your Windows system, a makefile environment, SSL libraries, etc.. If you don't have that: ask you local administrator.

Cheers, Andreas

 

how do I compile elogd with USE_SSL=1?

Andreas Luedeke wrote:

You normally don't need to specify "URL = xxx" at all. It is only needed if you work with a Proxy that changes the normal ELOG URL. And yes, you'll need "Port = 433" and "SSL =1".

And elogd must be compiled with USE_SSL=1, maybe that's your problem?

In addition you should buy a valid SSL certificate. Otherwise every user needs to acknowledge an exception for your invalid SSL certificate.

Cheers, Andreas

HI Guys,

Can you please give me an idea how will I write in the config. I want my elog will be accessed via internet. Though there's a tutorial / guideline, I need an actual config file for me to easily grasp how the URL = xxx should be write. Do my port should be Port = 433 and SSL=1?

You need to download the source file package of ELOG and compile it. If you don't know what a Makefile is, then it is likely futile for you to attempt to compile ELOG.

Or in other words: you cannot use SSL.

Chris Smyth wrote:

By the Makefile i belive you are refering to the elogd.cfg? if not what file do I have use?

I have added

port = 443

ssl = 1

Without sucess.

I then tried

port = 443

use_ssl = 1

still no sucess.

I cant find any file that has "#USE_SSL =1" that I can uncomment. I am using an older version of ELOG (ELOG278-2)  reading all the documentation I cant seem to figure it out.

I also configured elogd to listen on port 443

Opened a CMD window and entered >elogd -p 443

Says listening on port 443 but still not working.

On the most curent version of ELOG 3.1.0 I just modify the elogd.cfg added ssl = 1 and change the port to 443 and everthing works as advertised. I do the same on this version and I cant get it working. I could really use some help. Thanks for the fast response.

You've already named your solution: drop the very old ELOG version and download the new one. Obviously it was compiled with USE_SSL and you can use it right away.

Since you probably don't even have the source files of the old version, you'll have no chance to make it work with that. Just use ELOG 3.1.0.
