Elog v2.7.8 does not show substituted attributes while editing or replying

Since we updated to 2.7.8 we've found a problem.

Previously, when we used

Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject

The new "Re: " text would appear in the "subject" field while the user was editing their reply, and they could edit or delete it.

Since 2.7.8, however, it does not appear while editing, but shows up only after the user submits their entry. We would prefer that this appears while the user is editing, because in some cases we want the users to have the option to modify this text. Was this intentional? Is there a way to restore the previous functionality?

Thank you!

Hi all together,

I struggle a lot with the following problem:
I try to prefill certain attributes with the value of exactly the same attribute in the last entry made in the same logbook.

I know I have to go with Preset, tried a view hours and searched the forum but i didn't find a thing. Am I overlooking a flag, an option or whatever, or is there just not such a functionality (which I dont believe)?

I thought about:
Preset Test_Attribute = $Test_attribute
Preset Test_Attribute = Re:$Test_attribute
Preset Test_Attribute = $shell(Command to somehow get last entry and this attributes value)
Not succesful though.

I would be very thankful for help, thanks in advance.

Re: Pre-fill Attribute with last entry

Hi Stefan, hi Sebastian,

thank you for your help. Ok I see its not that simple.

Is there maybe a way of executing a Script on submitting, writing the values of the Attributes into an temporary file and loading the values from this file via a preset shell script when opening a NEW entry?

Best wishes & thanks in advance

Sorry Stefan, but it is possible as you have the scripting ability.

The idea is to use "Preset Test_Attribute = $shell(script_to_get_the_last_entry)", where the script asks elog about the details and parses them.
The problem here is, that the elogd already is working to resolve the click on "new entry" request (or similar) and the script can't call elogd until the page is delievered, what is to late.
(If it would, the elogd will hang.)

So the script either has to directly parse all the entry.log files in the logbook folder or you need a second elogd running, which can answer the request from the script.
This second elogd could run on a different port and it doen't need to be public as it only answers internal requests and could use the same config as the "primary" elogd.
My idea for the script uses the python elog module to establish the connection and do the parsing.

I hope this helps as a workaround.
Best wishes,
Sebastian

Nope, there is no way to acces the last value of an attribute. Sorry.

Re: Pre-fill Attribute with last entry

Thank you very much.

So far I testet all functionalities and scripts to reach my goal. I will post a dummy of the solution later on for future purposes.

Best wishes

That would actually be my recommendation. There is a "execute new" which you can call when submitting a new entry.

Grabbing user name from SSL user certificate

With SSL enabled, I'd like to to grab the CN (Common Name) of the user certificate and use that as login authentication method.

I am thinking of the following scenario:

- users with read & write privileges need to have an SSL certificate loaded in their browser. The "Author" field will be pre-set to the CN of the user certificate.

- authorization may be subject to further granularity (e.g. only allow users whose certificate belongs to a certain organization)

- read-only, guest access (without certificate) may or may not be allowed

Is there a way to do that?

Need help with permission

Hello,

I have just installed elog onto an ubuntu focal server using <sudo make install> and I am unable to create new entries.

When I access the log via a windows PC connected to the local network, I can see the demo logbook with the 1 test post, but I cannot create or edit anything.

Attempting to post throws the error:

New entry cannot be written to directory "/usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/"

Please check that it exists and elogd has write access and disk is not full.

Please point me in the right direction to correctly set permissions and create aditional log books.

Thanks,

Dan

Re: Need help with permission

I used "chown" to pass permissions from root to my deafult user, then restarted the service and now I can make posts. Thank you!

Sometimes this can also be an SELinux issue, if you have that service running. Try "journalctl | grep denied" to see denied resources and consult the SELinux documentation on how to fix that.

Stefan Ritt wrote:

Permissions are handled by the operating system and have nothing to do with elog. Make sure you run elog under an account which has write access to the desired directories. Consult Ubuntu documentation how to do that. Sometimes it's helpful to start elog interactively with the -v flag to see some verbose output. Maybe you can spot something there.

Hi all,

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 22.04. I have compiled from the latest tarball and copied all our logbooks from our old Ubuntu 18.04 server to a new Ubuntu 22.04. The logbooks does however not appear when I log in, so I assume ELOG doesn't have read access either?
Any hints on how to set the permissions correctly would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mikkel
