ELOG Forum

Hey

in one of my measurement logbooks I'm using two datetime entries (for start and end time of a measurement). The entries are created automatically by the measurement script.

Attributes = Time Start, Time End

Type Time Start = datetime
Type Time End = datetime

Time format = %H:%M:%S

For better visual appearance I would like to only display the time on the two additional datetime fields but keep the full date and time on the standard date field. Using the "Time format" option will influence all three at once.

Is there an option to do something like the time format for individual attributes (similar to the syntax of adding comments etc)?

Example:

Attributes = Time Start, Time End

Type Time Start = datetime
Type Time End = datetime

Time format Time Start = %H:%M:%S
Time format Time End = %H:%M:%S

Ok, implemented in the current version.

I can use that....
Also, is there a way of automatically displaying the difference in Hrs mins between Time start and Time End?

I guess you want to do some more complex calculations, like adding the running times, etc. This goes beyond the scope of elog. You can however export elog entries as a CSV file and import it in a spreadsheet program and do there all calculations you want.

Re: Upload of images fails from mobile platforms when using ELOG under SSL

On the subject of uploads, is there a way to restrict the viewing size of an uploaded photo or picture in the config? So it doesn't appear over more than one page.

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
