Dear all, 

I have a question for you. On my elog server I have plenty of images not included in any logbook entry, but that nevertheless I would the user
to have access to that via the browser. In order words, I would like to have a link like this https://myelog/my_pics_folder/my_pic.png

Please refer to:

icon5.gif   Download attachments from command line, posted by Maarten de Jong on Sat Apr 16 10:37:24 2022 
Would it be possible to download attachments (e.g. with elog or wget) from the command line?
    icon2.gif   Re: Download attachments from command line, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Apr 19 10:24:47 2022 
Sure. Just figure out the URL from your browser and then use it in wget, e.g.

wget https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/220309_175728/elog-3.1.4-1ebfd06c-win64.zip

to download one attachement from this forum.
       icon2.gif   Re: Download attachments from command line, posted by Maarten de Jong on Thu Apr 21 14:19:35 2022 
Thanks - I can confirm that the given command works.
However, for an e-log with username and password protection, this no longer seems to work.
It would be very useful if the elog command can be used to also download attachments (and not only a message).

Dear all, 

I would need your help with an incremental index with date information.

I want to have an incremental number made by the last two digits of the year, the two digits of the month and an incremental four digits number.

icon8.gif   Unformatted Appearance of Elog, posted by Greg Christian on Thu Mar 17 18:22:37 2022 Capture.PNG
I recently ported an elog over to a new server running Ubuntu 20.10. Everything is working okay, except sometimes I get a strange unformatted appearance
when I go to the elog page (see attachment). The happening of this seems random. For example, yesterday, when I started the elogd daemon everything looked
fine, but when I log in today I get the unformatted appearance. Also, yesterday when I was setting things up, sometimes certain logbooks would have the

In trying to fix this, I have re-downloaded the source from github rather than the source at http://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/tar/elog-latest.tar.gz,
