Suggestion to update Mac OS X instructions in ELOG Administrator's Guide, posted by Andreas Warburton on Sat Mar 9 17:17:02 2024

The section of the ELOG Administrator's Guide https://elog.psi.ch/elog/adminguide.html describing
how to build and install ELOG on a Mac OS X system has worked well for me for several years, even though there have been warnings that the "load"
and "unload" subcommands of the "launchctl" command have been deprecated for some time. After trying my luck again on a new Mac |

Here's a more complete/correct set of the updated commands:
sudo launchctl enable system/ch.psi.elogd
sudo launchctl bootstrap system /Library/LaunchDaemons/ch.psi.elogd.plist |

Hi Stefan, Thanks a lot for implementing the updated commands. I noted that there are a few typos that could cause people confusion if not fixed:
In one case, "launchctl" is misspelled.
Confusingly, I think the two lines containing the 'enable' and 'disable' commands use the contiguous text string "system/ch.psi.elogd" |

Draft saved after ~15 minutes, then anything entered a few hours later is ignored, posted by Celeste Torkzaban on Tue Mar 12 09:12:32 2024

Hello,
I've noticed that many times, I start an elog and continue editing adding to a few hours later, then I submit and it deletes everything I
entered after the last time a draft was saved. I paid more attention and saw that it saves a draft after about a few minutes, and if I wait too long before |

That's strange. If you edit a message, indeed a draft is saved every ten seconds or so when you keep typing. In our installations we keep an elog
entry typically open for eight hours, then save it at the end of the shift, and everything works fine. Have you tried playing aournd with your config file,
like "Restrict edit time" or so? Please also make sure you have the current elog version. I sse you have 3.1.3 which is quit old. |

Hello,
I started using the record date feature in one logbook, since we plan to copy over old entries Joplin/Onenote. When starting a new entry, I see
that the record date is automatically set to the current date, but when I reply to an elog, the record date is automatically set to the record date of |

Have you tried the config option "Preset on reply <attribute> = $date". On a reply, the <attribute> will be preset with the current
date.

This is a nice idea, but currently no text substations in templates are implemented. It only works in attributes right now.

Hello all,
I am installing elog on an Rocky Linux instance. Have dependensy problem.

Re: Installation with amp on Rocky Linux, posted by Laurent Jean-Rigaud on Thu Mar 21 19:30:49 2024

Hi Nina,
The RPM is built with Kerberos (libber*), LDAP (libldap*) and SSL (libssl*) options. These libs are missing on your system, and rpm command does
not take care of dependencies. |

Re: Installation with amp on Rocky Linux, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Mar 22 07:41:56 2024

Is there a way to install all dependencies automatically? Like if I install a package like "emacs" I get a list of dependencies with are automatically
installed:

Normally it should work. Requirements are set in SPEC file.

Is there an RPM available for Rocky 8 or Rocky 9?
And checking over https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/ , only el7 is found. Is that the right place to look for EL8 or EL9 based RPM? |

Hi,
The ELOG website provides new link to RPM packages :
Linux binaries are distributed as RPMs. |

Yes, same build options are used.
But i can not'confirm that they are working as well as on EL7. The tests done by build script on CI/CD are quite simple and limited to
rpm installation, service start and access from cmdline to elog server. |

Dear Stefano,
the support for the LDAP is limited. As stated in the documentation "on an as-is basis".

Hi,
It seems that ELOG does not support LDAPS but only simple LDAP connection.

Re: Problem in logging with LDAP and passwd, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Fri Mar 5 13:54:13 2021

Hi,
we use the LDAPS connection in our setup and it works without issues.
You have to specify "LDAP server = ldaps://server.tld:port" and normally it uses a different port (636) than insecure LDAP (389). |

Runaway bogus attachment counts in Summary view attachment column, posted by Andreas Warburton on Thu Mar 7 08:55:49 2024

On a new MacBook Pro (Silicon M3), I installed version 3.1.5 build 23df00d9. The application appears to work normally, except that, after a short
while, the indicated attachment count (paperclips in the attachment column of the Summary view) starts to increment fairly rapidly with each time
that I visit the page. Attachment counts appear even for records that don't have any attachments. When I access records individually, either |

A quick follow-up concerning the secondary matter I mentioned in my last post, namely the issues I had with the deprecated "sudo launchctl
load ..." and "sudo launchctl unload ..." subcommands currently provided in the ELOG installation instructions for MacOS. I found
a solution to this -- will post it in a separate thread. |

Thanks a lot Stefan, for fixing this so quickly! I'm now running 3.1.5 fe60aaf0, with the phantom-attachment-count issue in the Summary view now
