Re: Auto-refresh ELog display

eLog allows one to add custom headers or footers as well as include Cascading Style Sheets. I believe there is a post somewhere in here from Stefan indicating that javascript can be added through one of these methods . . . hold on, a simple search, yes Stefan mentions it at http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1837

I appreciate your posting of the JavaScript. However, I have no idea what
to do with it. The page appears to be generated by some elog daemon. I do
not know how to hook into that.

Couldn't a small bit of javascript be added that would accomplish this? Me saying this and I have no idea what I am talking about!!

Top Text and Bottom Text only show "text" --- no files

Just compiled 2.6.2-1714 and "Top text" and "Bottom text" interpret everything as "text" --- nothing is interpreted as a file to be included, unless there is a new syntax.

I dropped back to SVN1699 and same problem, then moved the file to the elog root directory and it works fine. Seems that the current version isn't finding the file, regardless of where I put it (root or in 'resources' directory). Perhaps another directory?

Stefan, I found the source of the problem. When you moved some files to "logbook_dir" you also told the code to look in "logbook_dir" for top and bottom text files:

void show_bottom_text(LOGBOOK * lbs)
{
   char str[NAME_LENGTH], slist[20][NAME_LENGTH], svalue[20][NAME_LENGTH];
   int i, size;

   if (getcfg(lbs->name, "bottom text", str, sizeof(str))) {
      FILE *f;
      char file_name[256], *buf;

      if (str[0]) {
         /* check if file starts with an absolute directory */
         if (str[0] == DIR_SEPARATOR || str[1] == ':')
            strcpy(file_name, str);
         else {
            strlcpy(file_name, logbook_dir, sizeof(file_name));
            strlcat(file_name, str, sizeof(file_name));
         }

The documentation indicates that the location dir should be "resource_dir".

I have made patch witch solves the problem partialy.

If there are not no attachments this patch works.... (But since I have attachments I'll have to dig in deeper in the code.

Attached you will find the diff.

Now I am digging deeper, and I have a question:

In the function retrive_elog near line 427 a start is made with putting the attributes in an array.
As far as I can see there is no exception for the Attachment attribute. Where this attribute can be very large (e.g. many files attached) and overrun to the boundary variable (in the function submit_elog function). At least that is where I find end of my attachment string.

Could Mr. Ritt please shine some light on this, becouse I

The JavaScript is one possibility as Steve mentioned correctly. Another possibility is to use the RSS feed capability of ELOG. Use any RSS reader, and it will notify you immediately if there is a new entry in ELOG. Have a look at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html and search for RSS on how to configure this.
