I tried to run elog with SSL so I created key and crt files. In crt file I added client certificate and intermediate certifacte. Unfortunately, when I try to run openssl s_client -showcerts -connect myexample.com:443 I got only the first certificate from the chain. Anyone has idea why this happens?

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Sort Attributes option to sort all entries by a user specified date.  The issue I'm running into, is that although I can get it to work, it seems to only display the last 6 entries that I'm sorting by.  If I click "All" to show all the entries, it's sorted perfectly. I'm using:

Sort Attributes = Due Date

Reverse sort = 0

Is there something I'm missing to get this working.  Reading through the manual nothing jumped out at me.

It is described in the manual at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#general

Entries per page = <number>

Funnily the default is "20". I have no idea why you see 6 entries.

Thank you, Andreas!  Not sure why I kept overlooking it in the manual.  As for the number of entries when I sort, I'm not sure.  I'll set it up to display a larger number and see what happens.

Hi all together,

I struggle a lot with the following problem:
I try to prefill certain attributes with the value of exactly the same attribute in the last entry made in the same logbook.

I know I have to go with Preset, tried a view hours and searched the forum but i didn't find a thing. Am I overlooking a flag, an option or whatever, or is there just not such a functionality (which I dont believe)?

I thought about:
Preset Test_Attribute = $Test_attribute
Preset Test_Attribute = Re:$Test_attribute
Preset Test_Attribute = $shell(Command to somehow get last entry and this attributes value)
Not succesful though.

I would be very thankful for help, thanks in advance.

Nope, there is no way to acces the last value of an attribute. Sorry.

Sorry Stefan, but it is possible as you have the scripting ability.

The idea is to use "Preset Test_Attribute = $shell(script_to_get_the_last_entry)", where the script asks elog about the details and parses them.
The problem here is, that the elogd already is working to resolve the click on "new entry" request (or similar) and the script can't call elogd until the page is delievered, what is to late.
(If it would, the elogd will hang.)

So the script either has to directly parse all the entry.log files in the logbook folder or you need a second elogd running, which can answer the request from the script.
This second elogd could run on a different port and it doen't need to be public as it only answers internal requests and could use the same config as the "primary" elogd.
My idea for the script uses the python elog module to establish the connection and do the parsing.

I hope this helps as a workaround.
Best wishes,
Sebastian
