I also notice that collapse does not work properly if I have anything selected in the quick filter.

Figured it out:  I had "Sort Attributes" set on the logbooks that were failing to collapse correctly.  At least, I think that is the distinction.  

I think I can live with "Sort Attributes" disabled; I don't recall why I chose to set the "Sort Attributes" in the first place.  But I still think this is an issue.

I am running elogd 3.1.5 on devuan chimaera (bullseye) which I built from source.  I had the same results with 3.1.4 and 3.1.3.

I tried to disable the quick filter just to see if that impacted the behavior, but it didn't.

If there are any other tests I can use to narrow the problem, please suggest them.  Without a working collapse feature, I cannot get a quick birdseye view of, say, all open threads.

Tried a variant, this time for NEW entries (not EDIT), which I meant to do to begin with; sorry if that was confusing. 

[cond_test]
attributes = region, manufacturer, model

options region = american{us}, japanese{jp}, european{eu}
show attributes = region

{us} options manufacturer = ford, chrysler, gm
{jp} options manufacturer = toyota{toy}, nissan{nis}, mitsubishi{mit}
{eu} options manufacturer = audi, mercedes, bmw, volvo, fiat
{us} show attributes = region, manufacturer
{jp} show attributes = region, manufacturer
{eu} show attributes = region, manufacturer

{toy} options model = corolla, prius, miata
{nis} options model = sentra, murano
{mit} options model = starion, outlander, mirage
{toy,nis,mit} show attributes = region, manufacturer, model

 I'm not sure if my multi-character conditional names are allowed or not, but they do seem to work... somewhat.  Note that I even tried a couple different ways of specifying which attributes to show (single versus multiple OR conditionals).  The problem now is that all of the attributes are always shown, seeming to ignore the conditionals entirely.

Harry Martin wrote:

Following is a small example of what I will dub a 3-level, conditional logbook:

[cond_test]
attributes = region, manufacturer, model

show attributes edit = region
options region = american{1}, japanese{2}, european{3}

{1} options manufacturer = ford, chrysler, gm
{2} options manufacturer = toyota{4}, nissan{5}, mitsubishi{6}
{3} options manufacturer = audi, mercedes, bmw, volvo, fiat
{1,2,3} show attributes edit = region, manufacturer
{4} options model = corolla, prius, miata
{5} options model = sentra, murano
{6} options model = starion, outlander, mirage
{4,5,6} show attributes edit = region, manufacturer, model

This example is hardly complete, but it is sufficient to demonstrate the issue I am running into.  This works until I select from the 2nd level (manufacturer); it won't display the dropdown for the model (I think my show attribute edit is supposed to display that).  Is there a restriction on how many levels of conditional I can have?  If there is, it would be disappointing because I am trying to do something similar to this example.

I hope there is something very simple I can do to correct this, or perhaps a completely different approach that accomplishes the same thing.  I'd like to stick with the multi-level selection process as I have done here.

I am running elog 3.1.5 on Devuan Chimaera (approx. Debian Bullseye, sans systemd) in a Virtualbox VM.

 

  69888   Sat Aug 16 02:48:42 2025 Angy Harry Martinharrymartin772@gmail.comBug reportLinux3.1.5show attributes directive does not work?

Follows a very simple logbook definition:

[simple]
Comment = test show attributes directive
Attributes = a, b, c
Show Attributes = a

(Assume that all attributes are used farther down.  This is for illustration only.)   

To see what I see when I run this tiny elogd.cfg, see attachment.

"Show attributes" does not seem to be working because all of the attributes are shown, not just those specified in the directive.  Or do I misunderstand/forget something?

Well, it DOES work.... but only if you use the "Show Attributes Edit" directive.  "Show Attributes" is only for the single entry pages, whereas "Show Attributes Edit" is for the "entry pages."

I should have read the docs more carefully, sorry.  But isn't this a bit inconsistent with the way other directives work?  Usually one uses "<Directive>" for new entries, "<Directive Edit>" for editing existing entries, and "<Directive Reply>" for replies.  So I am guessing that "Show Attributes Edit" will be used for new and edit?

Closed.  This "problem" was due to the same lack of document eyesight as https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/69889.   Sorry for all the noise.  New eyeglasses are forthcoming...

I am not sure if either "Sort Attributes" or the Quick Filter are the main issue, though they could be.  I have implemented a work-around for now, but it really would be nice if this worked as expected.  Or perhaps someone can provide an example of a logbook with working "collapse" functionality.  Thank you for this nifty program; everything else aside, this tool helps keep my work in order.

  67995   Wed Jun 10 11:36:48 2015 Entry Hanno Perreyhanno.perrey@nuclear.lu.seBug reportOtherELOG V3.1.1-5eaUpload of images fails from mobile platforms when using ELOG under SSL

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

Hej,

I just noted that when having an unknown (or presumably misspelled) user name in the "Admin user" line in the
config file, that the other users are no longer treated as admins and do not see the corresponding link to the
admin page e.g. on the list page. In my specific situation, I in fact have only one user registered (new
password file) but two users still on the admin list (old config file). The one user is only treated as admin
after removing the offending name from the list of admins.

I understand that this might be the intended behavior -- but I wonder if this could lead to a situation where
one locks oneself out, e.g. when adding a misspelled user name to the list.


Thanks and cheers,

Hanno
