I can confirm that there is currently a problem with the ckeditor "Insert Timestamp" button.
It apparently calls javascript code in ckeditor/plugins/timestamp/plugin.js
to catch a string from the URL "../../?cmd=gettimedate"
(I think this is one too many "../", but anyway). if you try this for the Forum:
https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?cmd=gettimedate
it returns the wrong string. It is "Forum" instead of the date.

PS to David: The subject "Three problems ..." is not giving any indication what it is about. I would find it better in this case to post three entries to the Forum, each with a striking title :-)

"Time format = %Y" results in "2015" being pasted into the edit window when I hit the "time stamp" button.

"Time format = %m/%Y" results in the string "06/2015"

"TIme format = %m/%d/%Y" results in the string "06/04"

"Time format = %m/%d %H" results in the string "06/04 "

I just updated to the latest official release (V3.1.0-2411f95) and have these problems:

  1. The Time Stamp button pastes the logbook name when "Time format" is not specified in elogd.cfg, and when it is set to "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M", it adds the string "5/28/."
  2. Drag and drop for attachments dosn't work on either Chrome 37.0.2062.94 (64-bit) or FIrefox 31.5.3 (both on Linux). D&D works on the midas.psi.ch demo page. On my logbooks, the "drop attachements here" area does not have a dashed line border
  3. Auto-saving does not seem to be working.

The "Syntax of elogd.cfg" help file doesn't seem to reflect some of these features... it took me a while to find the settings for LDAP authentication. Am I just missing some settings for these features?

My users are loving the new functionality added in 3.1!

Andreas,

I too was able to track the problem down to the "gettimedate" function in elogd.c. It looks like the code is using a variable named "str" for several different purposes. I haven't had a chance to do any testing, but my suspsicion is that the size of the dynamically allocated variable is ending up too small for the time stamp string, so it gets truncated.

 

Your point about the topic title is a good one - I'll split this into separate issues, thanks!

Indeed the "str" variable at the gettimedate function had the wrong string size, so that all date strings got truncated at 8 characters. That's what you've seen. Also the ../../?cmd=gettimedate was wrong and it should be ./?cmd=gettimedate. I committed the fix to GIT so it will be contained in the next release ofe log.

Check elog/themes/default/elog.css and look for font-family.

If you just want the elog entries in monospaced font, you can swith to "plain" encoding at the bottom of the entry form. You can also make this a default (check the docu).

Dear All,

is there a way to choose the default "style" for the HTML encoding ? - I'd like to set it to "Typewriter" but couldn't find the corresponding option in the available docs/ sample config files...

-- many thanks, regards, Pasha

Hello,
I found a small Bug when I create an entry. I activate a checkbox (attachement1) but when I upload a file, the activation disappears (attachement 2). I have to activate again the checkbox.
Is it something I can do?

Thanks in advance,

Xavier, your version number does not indicate the full SVN (it is cutoff at '172') but your screenshot indicates 'SVN1723'. This is an identified problem and looks to be fixed in SVN1740. I have verified with the checkbox "Suppress Email Notification" -- it likely effects all checkboxes.

I tried with V2.6.2-1741 and the problem was not there. It was fixed some time ago, so it should have worked in 1723 as well. Can you try the minimal example coming with the distribution, just by adding one MOptions attribute, like:
[global]
port = 8080

[demo]
Attributes = Author, Type
MOptions Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other

and see if it work there? If it works correctly there but not with your config file, please send me your config file and I will try to reproduce the problem.
