page2?cmd=List does not show next page, posted by Oleg Solovyanov on Tue Nov 15 08:35:33 2005
|
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the following does not work on a Elog with multiple pages:
1. View message
2. Click List
3. Click Next or page number
4. Only the last page is shown
It looks like the URL pageN?cmd=List does not work, while pageN works.
Any hints?
Same behaviour can be seen also with Discussion forum on Elog site. |

I don't understand. I tried on the Discussion forum:
1. View message, for example http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1506
2. Click List, which takes me to http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/
3. Click Next, which takes me to http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/page2
Then I really see page2, not the last page. So what do you do differently? |

Somehow in my logbooks List command would add cmd=List to the URL
And this does not work... |

You use an old version of elog. Please upgrade to the 2.6.0-beta5 which you can obtain from
http://savannah.psi.ch/viewcvs/trunk/src/elogd.c?root=elog&rev=1541 |

Yes, new version seems to fix this bug, but...
Now there's a new feature: sometimes it breaks the text message line into 2 when
displaying the summary page.
Maybe it happens only with Russian text |
Display last page by default, posted by Yoshio Imai on Fri Oct 28 12:15:33 2005

Hi again!
I have one question concerning the logbook configuration. Normally, clicking on "List" takes me to the first page of the list view. Is it possible to configure the logbook so that "List" takes me to the last page instead?

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, this is not exactly what we need. We would like to see the entries in normal order, but the last of the pages as "start page". Is it possible to configure this?

Start page = 0?cmd=last
Well, I guess this is not what you want either, correct? You would like to see the listing page with ~20 entries. The first one you can access easily via "<logbook>/page1", but the number of the last page varies over time. I would have to add a new functionality like "<lobook>/page_last", which automatically gets converted into the correct page number. I will put this on my wishlist. |
Re: Display last page by default, posted by Yoshio Imai on Fri Oct 28 13:12:46 2005

For the moment, I could satisfy the users by setting the start page to the "All" view, but if it can be implemented in a future version, this would come very handy.

What about
Start page = last10
This shows always the last 10 entries. If you want to see more, you can click on the new menu entry "Last 20 entries" etc. |

In principle this would be a good starting point, however, we would like to use the "Previous" and "Next" page selectors to browse (and these don't appear when using the "lastNN" statement for the start page). |
Re: Display last page by default, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Oct 28 20:36:55 2005

Ok, I implemented the last page display per default in revision 1538. If "reverse sort = 0" the last page is shown and if "reverse sort = 1" the first page is shown by default. This way one always sees the page with the latest entries. I hope this accomodates everybody. If not, please complain and I could make it a switch (yet another option ). |
Re: Display last page by default, posted by Yoshio Imai on Mon Oct 31 01:39:52 2005

I have installed the new version, and it works just fine. It is also MUCH faster than my intermediate solution.

Conditional hiding of attributes in list view, posted by Yoshio Imai on Thu Sep 22 11:34:46 2005
|
Hi!
All here are amazed by how quickly this software has evolved since we
took our first look into the world of electronic logbooks.
In order to use it as our shift logbook, however, we have one request
which is in principle the same as that of Juliana Peng
(http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1280). We want to have the usual
maintenance/admin/problem report entries of the shift crew in the
same logbook as the automatic entries from our runcontrol software to
clearly see cause and effect when analyzing the beamtimes later. Of
course, the run entries have different attributes than the shift crew
entries. So, it would be nice to have the conditional "Show attributes"
function extended also to the list view.
I understand that the attributes layout might then change from line to
line, but since we have only two sets of attributes, that would not
matter (to us). Would you consider implementing this function (i.e.
evaluate the conditions and hide attributes also in list view),
if not by default, then maybe as an option of the config file?
Another nice feature (which we do not explicitly need, just a suggestion)
might be implementing a filter function in list view, such that only entries
with certain attribute values are displayed.
I have also found one possible problem, maybe it's already solved in the
newest version: We have set up the elog under an stunnel, but the elog
server also responds to the original port (i.e. 80), displaying the logbook
selection page and from there even the login screen. Only after logging in
the elog server redirects the client browser to the https-page defined with
the URL-statement of the config file. The whole thing seems like an unwanted
behaviour, but could you change it so that it either doesn't respond on the
wrong URL at all, or at least redirects to the secured URL before presenting
the login window, so that we transfer the passwords encrypted?
Cheers

Hi again!
I noticed the quickfilter option in the config guide in the meantime !
I have one question however, concerning the "Resource Dir"-statement of the
config file. When setting it, the default theme doesn't work any more, I get
white background and no color schemes when going to the elog page with the
browser. Does this mean that the default resource location (/usr/share/elog/themes)
is overriden by this statement, and that all resources have to be put there
(if so, is it on purpose or is it a bug)?
Thanks
Yoshio
BTW, do you think it is at all feasible to implement the changes we mentioned earlier? |

Sorry my late reply, I'm extremely busy these days. I still don't get the point where you want attributes to be hidden. Let's assume you have a logbook with attributes A, B, C, D, E. One set of entries use A, B and C, whil the other set of entries use A, D and E. Right now, you get a listing like
Title A B C D E
one a b c
one a b c
two a d e
two a d e
one a b c
Now if you want to hide D and E for type one and B and C for type two, you would get
Title A B C D E
one a b c
one a b c
two a d e
two a d e
one a b c
so the "d" and "e" values are under the wrong title "B" and "C". Of course you can put a separate tile line each time you switch from "one" to "two", but that costs a lot of space. So how would you layout a listing where different attribute sets are mixed?

Well, the "theme" is a "resource". The manual says: Resource dir = <directory>: Specifies the root directory for ELOG resources like help files, themes, icons and user HTML files, so it's explicitly written there. If you change the resource dir and do not move your themes accordingly, you won't have them! If you shoot yourself in the foot, no gun will help you to prevent this

Which features do you mean? In your previous posting you mentioned a filter, but you found that already. So what else is left except the hiding of attributes? |

Well, in our case the changes would not be very frequent (if the beamtime goes smooth, we will have mainly
run-entries and few admin entries; if it is a hardware developement beamtime, we will have mainly admin
entries and fewer run entries). So, for us a layout with a new title line at the change between the two sets of attributes is ok.

I see. I thought that the "hardcoded" default directory would still be searched -- my error.
Stefan Ritt wrote: |

Not much . The only thing left was that the elogd redirects to the "URL="-address only after logging in, and not already after selecting a logbook in the selection page (i.e. before the password is transmitted), when a user calls directly the elogd port and not, say, the stunnel port defined to secure the connection. In our case this doesn't matter so much, but maybe to others it does ... ?
Thanks for the work

I implemented that in revision 1540. On the logbook selection page, the links to the individual logbooks honor the "URL = ..." statement from the config file, and thus you get redirected via "https://...". More is unfortunately not possible. If elogd gets contacted the first time, it is impossible to figure out by elogd under which URL it got contacted, and therefore it cannot distinguish between secure and insecure connections. The only way is to switch off port 80 by a firewall and only allow "https://..." connections from outside. |

Preset text overriden after preview, posted by Yoshio Imai on Wed Oct 26 16:00:00 2005
|
Hi, Stefan!
I have run across a problem with preset texts. We have defined a form to be filled in when the operator selects a specific combination of attributes. This form appears correctly, but after filling in the form, clicking on "Preview" leads to an error: the preview text is correct, but the actual text entry field is overriden again with the empty form. Clicking on "Submit" at this point then submits only the empty form, and the information filled in is lost.
When clicking on "Submit" without previewing, the text is entered correctly to the elog. Do you know where the problem might come from?
Thanks in advance
Yoshio |

You had the login expiration at 1 hour, and the time was off by one hour I guess. But each client's time is only accurate to a few minutes, so some of them had a difference to the server of 59 mins, and other had 1:01 mins. Since you had a login expiration of 1 hour, only the second one failed, while the first one should have worked for about one minute. |
Howto force users to supply an email address when registering?, posted by Johan Nyberg on Thu Oct 20 14:15:14 2005
|
Hi,
Today I noticed that a user had registered without supplying an email address. I am using Self Register = 3, which means I recieve an email from elogd when a new user wants to register. Apparently, I forgot to check that the users email field was empty. This empty email field led to a situation in which no email notifications were sent to the users. The elogd log file looks like this for a user with a registered email address:
20-Oct-2005 12:20:21 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} RCPT TO: <johan.nyberg@tsl.uu.se>
20-Oct-2005 12:20:21 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} 250 Ok
while it looks like this for a user with an epmty email address:
20-Oct-2005 12:20:22 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} RCPT TO: <>
20-Oct-2005 12:20:22 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} 501 Bad address syntax
When elogd hits this error it stops the process of sending emails, which means that no emails
at all are sent to any of the users. After manually adding the email address of the user with an empty address,
automatic email notification work again.
Is there a way to force the users to supply an email address when they register?

I will happily implement such an email check if you supply me further information. Presume you enter an email address in the form user#domain.com (# instead @). Does your SMPT server then complain, too? What about user@com (without "domain.")? If you check all possibilities and let me know, I will put it in. |

How to connect to an ELOG server running behind apache+ssl using the elog command line program?, posted by Johan Nyberg on Sat Oct 15 16:50:25 2005
|
Hi,
I need to post a large number of "old" messages to one of my logbooks and I am trying to modify the script doelog (see http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Contributions/10) to suit my needs. I am using apache + ssl for secure logins to my ELOG server. The doelog script uses the elog utility program, which is useful for posting ELOG messages from scripts or from the command line. My problem is that I cannot talk to my ELOG server with elog.
Here is what happens:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ elog -v -h my.server.org -p 443 -l mylogbook -a Category=Other-u myusername mypasswd testmsg
Successfully connected to host my.server.org, port 443

Access to the logbook works perfectly if I use a web browser. If I can find out how to use the elog command line program to connect to my ELOG server running behind apache+ssl, I think I can change the doelog script to suit my needs. Any help is appreciated.

This is because elog does not support "https" through secure socket layers (SSL). Also elogd does not, that's why you use Apache as your proxy. So the only way for you to use elog is to execute it on the server, where it can directly connect to elogd without going through the ssl layer of Apache. |

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your advice. As you say I can add entries using elog to my logbooks if I do it from the server on which elogd runs, in which case ssl and apache are bypassed:
$ elog -h localhost -p 8080 ...
Thanks once again for your excellent software!
