icon1.gif   Fix text prevents user from editing text during creation, instead of just edit, posted by Allen on Mon Aug 24 21:47:14 2009 

When we set Fix text = 1, according to the syntax, this should prevent users from modifying the text field during an edit, but it looks like it is blocking access at both time of edit and creation, meaning you can never add anything to it.  Is that the intended functionality?

icon1.gif   elogd keeps crashing, any thoughts?, posted by Allen on Thu Dec 3 20:25:50 2009 

We are trying to track down an issue where elogd just stops, and I cannot seem to find a cause.

 

In the logs, I see:
Dec  3 14:01:23 nissrv18a kernel: [419738.139675] elogd[32003]: segfault at 4 ip 00007f183b19b560 sp 00007fff79f5e278 error 4
in libc-2.10.1.so[7f183b119000+166000]
 

Any thoughts?

icon1.gif   Restricting logbook view, posted by Allen on Fri May 21 14:37:26 2010 

Is there anyway to restrict access so that a user can only see the log entries they post or only replies to their log entry?  I know it is possible to restrict editing to only posts they submitted, but I have a need to not even allow them to see other posts except for what they submitted and I am wondering if this is possible currently, or if this is planned, or could be planned for a future version?


Thanks,

 

Allen

 A little more information here

We are running elog on an Ubuntu server

Elog was working fine, then, on a windows 7 machine, MS12-006 was installed, rebooted, and could no longer connect to the elog web page.

Discovered that in Internet Explorer 8, by unchecking the use TLS 1.0 in options advanced tab, and making sure that SSL 3.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2 were checked, that the page once again worked.  I'm guessing the elog does not support SSL 3.0, otherwise, I assume I would have to uncheck that as well.  Things do appear to still work on XP, thus far, only Windows 7 appears to break.  While we have a work around, ideally we would like to see a bug fix so that (for legacy reasons), elog will still work with TLS 1.0 on Windows 7.

 Also, strangely, I am able to use the elog forum page https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum while TLS 1.0 is checked.  I notice the version number is 2.9.0-2425, while we are using 2.9.0-2396, so wondering if this is fixed in this newer version.

Yes. That's quite a problem when interacting with ELOG programmatically. Only way to 
find whether response succeeded or failed with 404 is to parse response body

When file is not found send_file_direct calls show_html_header which in turn calls 
show_http_header which sets HTTP code 200 unconditionally. It's reasonably easy to 
patch around.
icon5.gif   How to pass attachment names to an Execute line?, posted by Alexandre Lindote on Thu Oct 19 11:45:18 2006 
Hi,

I'm trying to pass the name of an attachment in a "Execute new " line, but I can't seem to get the correct syntax...
I've tried:
Execute new = echo "New document with reference $Internal Ref with the name $attachements " >> /home/zeplin3/lixo.log
Execute new = echo "New document with reference $Internal Ref with the name $attachements1 " >> /home/zeplin3/lixo.log
Execute new = echo "New document with reference $Internal Ref with the name $1 " >> /home/zeplin3/lixo.log

but nothing seem to work. If I remove the $attachments bit the output is correct...
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Alex
