Log4j exploit, posted by Alan Grant on Tue Dec 14 19:16:57 2021

Is there any potential impact/concern with the Log4j exploit in Elog applications?

ELog does not use the Log4j library so no issue there. If you run a web server like Apache in front of ELog, you however have to check if you use log4j
there.

Dump screenshot to new elog entry, posted by Anthony J Krishock on Sun Dec 12 01:18:46 2021

Hello,
I am interested in finding a preferrably single-click way to capture a screenshot and posting it automatically to a new elog entry . I would
be doing this from Windows. Is this possible? |

I am no Windows expert. An option is to write your own application and use the "elog" command to post the output of the application to your
ELOG.
There is as well a python library to access ELOG via http: https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog |
$attribute replacement fails occasionally, posted by Chris Körner on Sat Nov 27 21:48:41 2021
|
Hi,
In our setup we have multiple logbooks. I want a convenient way to search all logbooks for an attribute (in our case with the name Sample-ID)
by just clicking it in the list display of any logbook.Therefore, in the [global] section I put "List Change Sample-ID = <a href="https://ourelog.com/$logbook/?all=1&Sample-ID=$Sample-ID"</a>. |

This problen drives me crazy. Under some circumstances the List Change <attribute> function does not replace $attribute. It happens at random circumstances
when I use the Find function to search all logbooks. In the resulting list, it fails reproducibly for certain entries of certain logbooks. But I cannot
find what is special about those lokbooks or entries. In different Find requests it works perfectly fine. |

Display edit time, posted by Devrim Esenturk on Wed Nov 24 08:12:17 2021

Hi
I have a large logbook to keep office demo equipments listed. So editing entries are very often, I would like to see last editing time on my
entry as entry time shown as each entry. Is there any way to do this? I checked all attributes and commands but couldn't find any. |

Re: Display edit time, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Nov 24 08:38:33 2021

Creat an attribute "last edit" and set it to the last edit time. Something like this:
Attributes = ...., Last edit
Preset Last edit = $date |

Body of new messages not getting saved when submitted, posted by Harry Martin on Sun Nov 21 23:20:15 2021

I've been using elog for a few years now. I've had the current setup working for me up until today.
If I create a new message (entry, whatever they are called), or if I attempt to update an existing message, only the header information is saved.
The body (the part I can see in the editor) does not get saved. |

Hello Harry,
the elog server (elogd) is a standalone application written in C and contains a full webserver and logfile management system.
There are no other dependencies to apache or python. |

Thank you for your quick response, Sebastion. The new version of ckeditor is 4.5.7 -- is this version compatible with elog 3.1.2? It is possible
that I am using an outdated elog or outdated ckeditor due to the fact that this server is a bit old; I am looking to upgrade this machine soon, but I have
several other issues to resolve first. |

(disregard my recent post here about missing package -- that wasn't the elog server!)
I can see that ckeditor was upgraded 11/19, which is would be prior to my recent attempts to use elog. It was apparently a security update,
so I am not sure it is sensible to downgrade. OTOH, I am the only person here, and I have all sides carefully barracaded, so I don't think it |

After downgrading ckeditor, my elog installation is working again. Thanks for your help.

Restrict edit time = 0 behavior intended?, posted by Chris Körner on Mon Nov 15 11:35:55 2021

Hi,
I have set the options "Restrict edit time = 24" and "Admin restrict edit time = 0" in [global]. This way can only edit entries
for 24 hours while the admin can forever. I now want a single logbook where all users have unlimited time to edit entries. However, setting "Restrict |

Actually this is related to post 68993 from Sebastian Schenk in Jul 2019. Are there any new workarounds
I may have missed?

Hi Chris,
my old entry was related to the admin options of edit time.
The option "Admin restrict edit time" was implemented later, see ab8b98c |

Hi Sebastian,
thanks for the reply. It is just a bit confusing that these similar settings behave so differently. For me it is no big deal to set the
time for every logbook independently instead of [global], but it leaves more room for configuration errors. |
Shared logbook and elog.cfg file across multiple installations, posted by Anthony on Mon Nov 15 15:41:04 2021

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to have a shared logbook and elog.cfg between multiple instances of elog. Ideally, I'd like
to have my logbooks folder and elog.cfg hosted on a nextcloud instance while running the elog service locally. I've tried this using symlinks |

Hi Anthony,
the elog has a mirroring function, which synchornizes config and logs between multiple instances.
See the bottom section of https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html |

Thank you Sebastian!
I admittidely haven't looked through the page in a while, so I completely missed this feature. This should solve the problem, although
in a slightly different implementation than what I was trying for. |

The elgod.c progarm itself is rather weak in SSL, since I just don't have time to catch up with the latest SSL enhancements. The safest you can do
is to put an industry-strenth web server like Apache in front of elogd and let that server handle the SSL layer.
