 | Harry Martin | harrymartin772@gmail.com | Question | Linux | 3.1.2 | Re: Body of new messages not getting saved when submitted | (disregard my recent post here about missing package -- that wasn't the elog server!)
I can see that ckeditor was upgraded 11/19, which is would be prior to my recent attempts to use elog. It was apparently a security update, so I am not sure it is sensible to downgrade. OTOH, I am the only person here, and I have all sides carefully barracaded, so I don't think it would be much of an issue. But please disabuse me of my ignorance if need be.

Thank you for your quick response, Sebastion. The new version of ckeditor is 4.5.7 -- is this version compatible with elog 3.1.2? It is possible that I am using an outdated elog or outdated ckeditor due to the fact that this server is a bit old; I am looking to upgrade this machine soon, but I have several other issues to resolve first.

Hello Harry,
the elog server (elogd) is a standalone application written in C and contains a full webserver and logfile management system.
There are no other dependencies to apache or python.
You can use a webserver like apache or nginx in combination with elog to act as a proxy,
e.g. to handle the encryption part of the communication between your web browser and the elogd, but you don't need to.
Regarding the first part of your message:
The elog server worked normally; entries (including the text body) got saved correctly until the last update?
The only thing in your list of updates, I can think of making this problem could be the update of ckeditor as it is the text editor used by elog.
The other packages should not be related to elog... but I am not a package maintainer.
I compiled elog from source and it brings the necessary files with it.
Best wishes,
Sebastian

I've been using elog for a few years now. I've had the current setup working for me up until today.
If I create a new message (entry, whatever they are called), or if I attempt to update an existing message, only the header information is saved. The body (the part I can see in the editor) does not get saved.
Yesterday, I did do some updates on the server machine. Among them was an update to apache2, but I am not using apache2 (I can disable apache2, and elogd continues serving elog on client machines). Also updated were several python3 packages; I ran into a compatibility problem with python3 with a different package, so I wonder if that could have some impact for elog also. About 50 packages were updated altogether.
Here are the packages that were updated yesterday (in case this is of interest to solving the issue):

This is a devuan ascii server only for clients on a local area network.

How can I block access to some tools (like edit, erase, config...) for each user? I want only admin users can edit, erase , etc.
I want know too, how can I erase configuration of SMTP? I make a test with the "elogd -t" command and now every time I create a new entry in my log book I receve the mensage of error to send email, cause I don't configure a SMTP host.

Hello, you can use the "Deny" flag in the config file for each logbook.
Deny <function> = <user>
Example: Deny Edit = Gian
simply add as many deny functions as you would like. Its a bit of work if you have a lot of logbooks but its the easiest solution.
Hope that helps.
Elog Syntax guide is helpful for this stuff too. |

Thanks for help. It work's.
But I want to know if I can block a logbook from a user. For example I have a logbook named "Store". I want only users of the vendors have access to this log. How can I do it?
I didn't find this in manual. |

The only way I find for this trouble is using the "Login user". But we have something best? |

I haven't found a specific way to block viewing a log book.
I use the top groups settings to keep users in the logbooks they only need access to.
Example
Top Group = Logbook Group1, Logbook Group 2
Group Logbook Group 1 = Logbook1, Logbook2
Group Logbook Group 2 = Logbook3, Logbook4
Then only assign users for logbook1 and logbook2 that you wish to view those logbooks only. They would have to go to the specific top group url in order to view the logbooks.
Then you can go to http://elogurl/(top group)/
And essentially just have the users view the only logbooks they are assigned to. |

I'm joking! I fixed the bug and updated the elogd server. Please find the new
version under CVS.
