| Ben Shepherd | ben.shepherd@stfc.ac.uk | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.0-2411f95 | Re: CKEditor won't load under IE Compatibility Mode | The viewport thing and the IE7 mode thing are separate issues.
OK, maybe it's a CKEditor thing then. I thought it might be. It seems pretty stupid that the default setting in IE is to emulate an older browser - although I guess a lot of people have very outdated intranet sites. Anyway, we have a fix here so I don't think you need to do anything. Just thought you might want to know.
The viewport tag issue - see attachments. The first two are the log selection page and the list page, both without the viewport tag. Obviously you can zoom in, but this is how they appear by default, as (apparently) Chrome tries to render the whole page width. The third one is how the list page appears when the viewport tag is added, and the fourth is with my custom CSS to put the columns on separate lines. It's probably very bad CSS, so I'm certain that it's not robust or cross-platform, but it works for me :)
/* make things look a bit nicer on smaller screens */
@media (max-width: 700px) {
table.listframe td, table.listframe th {
display: none;
}
/* show id, date, personnel, summary in separate lines */
table.listframe td:nth-of-type(-n+2), table.listframe td:nth-of-type(4), table.listframe td:nth-last-of-type(2) {
display: block;
border: 0px;
}
}

I don't get your point. If you add the meta tag wiht the viewport, then the IE7 mode will load the CKEditor? The CKEditor home page says that IE7 is not supported any more, so I wonder if this simple tag might help. Can you turn off the compatibility mode on a per-URL basis?
If I try on my smatphone, the display is correct, so why you need the viewport tag? Can you shouw me examples?
If you have nice CSS features which are helpful for everybody, please send them to me and I can include it in the distribution, but only after you convince me that it works (almost) everywhere.
Best,
Stefan

I just upgraded to 3.1.0 after many years using 2.9.2. Our eLogs are absolutely crucial for the operation of our accelerators, so first of all I'd like to say: thanks a lot for everything you've done! It's a rock-solid application that works really well.
The issue I'm having is a minor one. Some of our users are using Internet Explorer 11, which has a Compatibility Mode option that is enabled by default for intranet sites (of which our eLog is one). This mode emulates IE7, and this causes the CKEditor rich text box to fail to load. I can tell our users to disable the CM setting on their browsers, but it may be that a simple server-side fix is possible as well.
It would be nice if the eLog pages could have a <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> tag, so that it displays nicely on smaller screens. I've been adding this myself in some Javascript code (see elogHelper.js on the above-linked website), but it doesn't appear on every page (the logbook selection page, for instance). I also made some modifications to the CSS so that the list display collapses down when the browser window is very narrow.
The new autosave functionality is really good. I hacked something together to do this for our log a while ago, but it's nice that it's inbuilt now.
Thanks again!
Ben

Hi there,
our host running ELOG crashed. I installed ELOG at another host with copying backup files / folders to new installation. New installation looks fine and seems to be working. But one big problem occurs I only can see some of former existing logbooks. Are there any suggestions how to build an new ELOG with old data?
Many thanks Mario

| Hanno Perrey | hanno.perrey@nuclear.lu.se | Bug report | Other | ELOG V3.1.1-5ea | Re: Upload of images fails from mobile platforms when using ELOG under SSL | Hej Stefan,
thanks for the suggestion -- through a Apache proxy the upload does indeed work without problems.
Cheers,
Hanno

That's strange. Might have to do with the SSL library elog uses. I just tried this forum (actually the "Demo"), and it worked fine through SSL, but I use an Apache proxy server for elog implementing the SSL protocol, which might be slightly different.

Hej,
I discovered a problem uploading images taken with the cameras of mobile devices to new elog entries directly from said devices. When selecting the image and choosing "Upload", either the blue page loading indicator gets stuck at around 10% (mobile Safari, iOS 8.3, iPhone 4 and iPad mini) or the error message "failed secure connection; connection reset while page was being loaded" ("Fehler: gesicherte Verbindung fehlgeschlagen. Verbindung zum Server wurde zurueckgesetzt waehrend die Seite geladen wurde") appears shortly after (Android 5.02, Firefox 37.0.2, Motorola G).
From the desktop browser (Firefox 38.0.5, OSX 10.10) there is no problem uploading images at all.
So far, this problem is very reproducible, but only when using ELOG with SSL enabled. Without SSL, the problem disappears on all platforms.
The ELOG daemon runs under Linux (Fedora 18) and I have also tried using the latest development version of ELOG.
Running ELOG with debug messages the only output after the page has been loaded is:
TCP connection #0 on socket 4 closed
TCP connection #0 on socket 4 closed
After these, there is no further output and the mobile devices do not indicate any progress either even after many mi.
The minimal config file I have been using is:
[global]
; network
port = 443
SSL = 1
URL = https://my.server.somewhere/
; paths
Logbook dir = /usr/local/elog/logbooks
Resource dir = /usr/local/elog
Logfile = /tmp/elog.log
[demo]
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Options Type = Status, Modification, Problem Report, Problem Details, Problem Fixed, Other
Options Category = Facility, Experiment, IT, Other
List Page Title = $logbook - $subject
As mentioned before, removing the first three lines fixes the problem (the URL line points to my actual server of course).
I would appreciate any pointers on how to debug this further! The functionality of posting images directly from mobile devices is quite important for the planed deployment of ELOG and I would very much prefer to have SSL enabled when doing so.
Thanks and cheers,
Hanno
