That's a feature

In the summary view, I cannot use any HTML code, since it will screw up the table layout. Therefore elog searches for any "<" and ">" pairs and removes the text in between. In principle one could do a better job, but I do not want to write a complete HTML interpreter just for that purpose. 

In the summary view, it seems that the text is truncated at the first "<" character. See https://lblogbook.cern.ch/Shift/48812 for a simple entry, then use the 'list' command to see that only a very small part is displayed.

Saving, using Submit sees recently updated fields cleared after hitting SUBMIT.

MOre significantly this then leads to a proliferation of instances of the same record being generated in the logfile and consequently on the logbook.

Has anybody a fix or advice on this?

Hi.

I'd like to use elog as a tool ta keep my notes, links, passwords... It's installed on my personal computer at home (Debian Squeeze), behind a Ip-Cop firewall, so I guess it won't be accessible from anywhere outside. But I'd like to protect the log with a password anyway. BTW, I had some hard time figuring out how to configure the different files for french (there was a problem with UTF8 mixing up with Latin1... I recoded the language file to UTF8 to solve it).

I followed the procedure described here, but I have a problem with second stage :

• I set Password file = elog.pwd in the elog.conf file (it's not elog.cfg on Debian...)
• I restart the daemon
• I try to login to http://localhost:8080/, and receive the message : "error opening the file elog.pwd"

I get this message even after :

1. adding my user account to the elog group
2. launching Epiphany as root

So I guess I have to create (how ???) the file elog.pwd, which, if I understand correctly, can be empty at the start... But where do I save it ?

Thank you for any help, and sorry if I'm a little confused. I had hard time figuring out where to find everything.

 Hi,

I have Ghostscript 9.05 and ImageMagic 6.7.5 Q16 installed with the last ELOG version in a windows 7 OS. When I try to attach a pdf file and then create thumnails of the file, I am only able to create the first 8 pages instead all document. I have try to change the parameter Thumbnail size  but with any sucess. However, If after create the thumnail I modify manually the size, all thumnails are creaed.

Thank you so much!!

 Still struggling with this issue, if anyone has managed to solve it let me know.   I've done the obvious and checked ownership/ permissions of the elog folders and they are exactly the same as etc/var/www, which is working in apache.

Hello

Want a hyperlink in one of the attributes like this : http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl#subject

In this way I should be able to redirect to a certain part of the html that the perl script is generating. When I setup this manually it works. ( typing directly the html link into the attribute )

 
When I put the html link into elog config file it will never show up the correct format : everything after the '#' is translated into the digit 1. ( So you get  http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl1 . ) 

I tried to escape with \# used quoting " and '. No luck.  Tried to use the &#97; , No luck. 

I've tested with several versions of elog but it seems that it has never worked. 

Allow HTML = 1 dit not work for me.

Has it to do with the autoincrement  ? ( Subst Number = XYZ-##### ) I think so because of the 1 that is returned if i use a http link . When I use the same link  http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl#subject a second time i'll get back :
http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl2 . So it seems that the auto increment feature plays a role in this one. 

Can this be done in the attributes of elog.? Can I have a # in a hyperlink ?

Thanks for your time.

Today I released version 2.9.1 which fixes this problem.
