  Draft   Tue Sep 22 14:56:37 2015  Edmund Hertleedmund.hertle@kit.eduRequestAll3.1.1Suggestion for tooltips and/or comments

Hey,

if you define a Tooltip at the moment it is only displayed on the attribute. I would like it very much if it would also be displayed on the values (on the right column in the detailed view and on the whole column in the list view), since we are using the tooltips to define the units of the attribute and it would be nice to pop up when you hover a value.

As for the comment it would be nice to have a flag to also show the comment on the detailed view while looking at an entry. At the moment it is only showed when creating a new entry. Again we use this field to define the units.

This is an example of how we use these options:

attributes = Fill Number, Beam Current, Beam Energy, Beam Lifetime, RF Voltage S2, RF Voltage S4, RF Frequency, Synchrotron Frequency

Comment Beam Current = in mA
Comment Beam Energy = in GeV
Comment Beam Lifetime = in hh:mm
Comment RF Voltage S2 = in kV
Comment RF Voltage S4 = in kV
Comment RF Frequency = in MHz
Comment Synchrotron Frequency = in kHz

Tooltip Beam Current = in mA
Tooltip Beam Energy = in GeV
Tooltip Beam Lifetime = in hh:mm
Tooltip RF Voltage S2 = in kV
Tooltip RF Voltage S4 = in kV
Tooltip RF Frequency = in MHz
Tooltip Synchrotron Frequency = in kHz

Cheers

This is what in my config:

Apprecite you help. Thanks.

I was just playing around with gcc6's new feature for warning about misleading indentation (which can often hide real bugs) and I think it found one in elog-3.1.1-1 at src/elogd.c:22538. Here there is an if statement, which looks as though it should be inside a loop, but it isn't. The code is:

      for (i = 0; i < MAX_ATTACHMENTS; i++)
         generate_subdir_name(att_file[i], subdir, sizeof(subdir));
         if (att_file[i][0] && strlen(shell_cmd) + strlen(lbs->data_dir) + strl$
             < sizeof(shell_cmd) + 1)
{
            strcpy(p, "\"");
            strcat(p, lbs->data_dir);
            strlcat(str, subdir, sizeof(str));
            strlcpy(str, att_file[i], sizeof(str));
            str_escape(str, sizeof(str));
            strcat(p, str);
            strcat(p, "\" ");
            p += strlen(p);
         }

and the if statment is accessing the loop variable i but it is actually outside the loop. Presumably, there should be some more curly brackets here. gcc6 gave the warning:

src/elogd.c: In function ‘execute_shell’:
src/elogd.c:22538:10: warning: statement is indented as if it were guarded by... [-Wmisleading-indentation]
          if (att_file[i][0] && strlen(shell_cmd) + strlen(lbs->data_dir) + strlen(subdir) + strlen(att_file[i])
          ^~

I currently have an Attribute defined in my .cfg file as  "Format <Attribute> = 0, attribname, attribvalue, 120, 500". I've found if I exceed 255 characters elogd.exe fails. Is there a method that will allow me to exceed 255 characters?

I'm running ELOG on a seperate Windows Servers.

When I try to synchronize the logbooks using "elogd -m", I get an "Error sending local entry: Error transmitting message"

If I click on the "Synchronize" link in the logbook, it can correctly send entry to remote ELOG.

Can anyone tell me why I get this error?

Here is the command & output:

Dear all

I installed elog from the current stable repository on Debian 8 (jessie)

The installation went on smoothly, I modified the configuration files of the Apache server as described in the manual to use the elog in parallel with an existing webserver and then I tested. The demo logbook loads fine and I see that elog created a folder for the logbook in /var/lib/elog/logbooks, which is the directory specified by default in the /etc/init.d/elog file.

Then I modified the /etc/elog.conf file, added the following lines in the global section (custompath is a local path) 

Resource dir = /<custompath>/elog/res
Logbook dir = /<custompath>/elog/logbooks

And I created a new logbook.

After restarting the elog service the second database is correctly created but both of them are still stored in  /var/lib/elog/logbooks so it seems the global configurations in the config file are overwritten.

How can I specify the custom folder so that the new logbooks a

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.

With all of our instances of Elog where we have Quick Filters enabled, any filter that we input characters into does not search the server when we press enter (there is no "Search" button). Interestingly, it will only search when we click anywhere on a blank area of the Elog interface. Is that the intended procedure for searching?
