Hello,

I noticed the wikipedia article of the ELOG got deleted in November 2021.
With the reason: "Poorly sourced article, and I was not able to find good sources myself."

I could access the old article through web.archive.org, but for the project it would be good, if the article got revived.

A new version 3.1.5 of elog has been released with all accumulated fixes over the past actually few years. I made a tar file, a RPM, but I could not compile yet a windows version.

https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html

Best,
Stefan

The elog downloads page is slightly out of date, https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html

1) the "git clone" instructions work (but there is no git tags corresponding to different releases, I suggest adding test: "elog developers 
recommend always using latest version from elog git repository").

2) "elog source code", recommends downloading tar file, but latest tar file is from February 2023, probably out of date. people who can compile elog 
from sources can do "git clone", is the "tar" method still relevant?

3) windows binaries, latest available is from 2018, before the famous security fixes, probably no longer safe for running on the open internet. I 
suggest we remove this section and say "sorry, windows binaries no longer available".

4) linux binaries, all links are dead, and we have requested removal of elog packages from red hat, debian and ubuntu. (and they have been removed).

K.O.

The maximum number or attributes is 100.

Is it possible to increase this?

Thanks!

Hello,
  I am using template for some elogbook entries.

Is is possible to automatically change the template using the actual date in some filed. 

Something like: the template has a place-holder <start date> and this is replaced with today's date when a new entry is created.

I already have a "date" filed which is automatically filled, but I've been asked to have the date also in the template.

Thanks in advance
Stefano

I'm trying to run elog behind haproxy, but get the error "Invalid Content-Length in header" on posting.

As stated in the manual, haproxy rewrites all headers to lower case.

elogd parses the content-length header case sensitive which is against the HTTP RFC. This might also apply to other headers that get parsed.

For now I'm using the workaround from the manual:

global
  h1-case-adjust content-length Content-Length
  h1-case-adjust content-type Content-Type

backend elog
  option h1-case-adjust-bogus-server
  server elog 127.0.0.1:8080

But as the manual states, this should not be  used as a permanent solution.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is an Elog bug, something wrong in my configuration/database.

When I create a new article on Elog it always shows an attachment from one of the first entries ever made to this log book made. This is in addition to any attachments which were actually added during article creation.

I just made an example entry to demonstrate. First attachment here shows how the entry looks in the GUI, it has an attached text file called "jail.local", 2nd attachment is how that entry looks in the database file - no attachment.

Does anyone have any idea what's happening?

Currently have multiple logbooks hosted with elogd. One book is having an issue with Categories. The user regulary uses the category filtering to see one subject for the whole month. This past week it hasn't been working properly. When choosing a drop down category to filter there are not logs found. I've notice the fields under the categories change randomly. Sometimes it would add a % sign where there should be --. Some other fields go from displaying -- Subject -- to just the dashes, thats when the filtered eLogs do not show. Clearing out the erroneous characters can eventually load the specified logs. Has anyone else seen this? Should I just upgrade the system and hope for the best?

PS. while writing this I was able to mitigate the issue by removing the troubled fields from the quick filter section. I'm pretty sure this will not be an issue for my end user but any input is appreciated.
