Sorting does work fine, if you do it correctly. From your post I cannot even guess what you've tried - let alone tell you what you did wrong.

Please post your config, some example entries and a description of what you've tried, what you expected to happen and what actually happened. Screenshots are often very useful as well.

Hi, I was wondering if this is possible. I've tried to sort on anything other than the first few fields and although the screen refreshes like it is 'doing something', it does NOT sort. Sometimes it will take me to the last page of my data, but still no sorting. I use Debian Linux verson of Elog. There have been no other issues. I need to figure out how to do this without parsing it to another program first. Thanks again for this wonderful program :)

I am using SSL with ELOG and it works fine with the "elog" executable. I am no expert on SSL, but I can provide my two cent what you could try, maybe it helps:

  • SSL desires to run on the port 443 - I have no idea if you can force it to run on an arbitrary port, it might be possible. But does it make sense?
  • Certificates are checked against the provider of the certificate. I guess this works fine from your web browser? Or did you just add a security exception?
  • Has the installed "elog.exe" been compiled with SSL support on?

Dear all, 

we have a running elog installation using SSL (with the self-signed certificate). Generally we use the web interface, but we have been asked if it was possible to automatically insert elog entries via command line. 

elog.exe should be the answer and so I gave it a try.

I was trying the following command line: 

elog.exe. -h server-ip-address -p 8080 -l demo -s -v -u username password -a "Mass=0" This is a test entry

Of course server-ip-address and username / password were proper fields. 

When I was doing this from the server itself, I got the following message:

Successfully connected to host server-ip-address, port 8080
Possibly invalid certificate, continue on your own risk!

and then the entry was inserted, but when I was typing the same from any other PC I got the error message:

Successfully connected to host server-ip-address, port 8080
elogd server does not run SSL protocol

The entry is of course not added and also the server (that is running in very verbose mode) reported a

SSL_accept failed

How can I fix it?  

Thanks for helping,

Antonio

Yes, I agree that cleaning up old Draft entries and correcting/deleting old entries is a job for the administrator. Currently I do what you've said: commenting out "restrict edit time", changing the entry, commenting in "restrict edit time".

There are already some commands specifically for the admin:

  • Admin textarea = <cols>,<rows>
  • Admin user = <user list>

It would make sense to add more of them, for this specific case:

  • Admin restrict edit time = <hours>

If that is set to "-1", then the Admin can edit old entries regardless of their age. Actually there is no option to "unset" restrict edit time inherited from a global config: a negative time would make sense as "disabling" restrict edit time.

Another item for the endless wishlist ;-)

Cheers, Andreas

Hello,
I have experienced some inconveniences with the restrict edit time option.

First, it is not possible for admin users to edit an entry after the edit time.
The restrict edit option allows admin users to edit posts from other users,
so I think admins should also be allowed to edit posts after edit time.
As they can edit the config and temporarily disable the restrict edit time option, which is an issue.

Secondly, if a user made a draft and did not submitted it before the edit time runs out,
the draft got stuck as it cannot be edited (and submitted) any more.

Best wishes,
Sebastian

I would claim it is already properly supported. If you hit a size limit you can configure your ELOG to adjust the limit (Max content length).

Or did I misunderstand your question?

Thank you. Locally doesn't work for some reason... I'll try to investigate.

Btw. do you plan to properly accept pasting of images? Pasting a screenshot saves a lot of time when making logs.

The Drag & Drop was implemented already in 3.0.0 (see https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/ChangeLog). So no idea why it's not working for you.

Hello,

I can paste images into text (which resulted in the text_size too long error message), however, I can't drop them on my elog. However, I can do it on the demo version. Was the drag and drop into text already supported in version 3.1.3 and I am just missing some configuration option, or do I need to find a repository with a more recent version of elog?

Thanks!

Sorry, but I would think that this is a question for the IT department of your institute, not for the ELOG forum.

Since you have an institute email address (infoval@aemet.es NOT xxx@gmail.com), you certainly have your own mail server, or am I wrong?

Cheers, Andreas

Elog supports only a limited set of authentications for SMTP. Both GMail and probably also your server requires more advanced authentication schemes, which are not suppoerted by elog. Sorry.

You were so close: boolean has the two values "0" (unchecked) and "1" (checked).

 Attributes = Bruger, Station, Emne, Status, PM5
 Options PM5 = boolean
 Email PM5 1 = fj@tvis.net

That does work, I've tested it.
