  69209   Wed Sep 2 10:24:58 2020 Question Florian Feldbauerflorian@ep1.ruhr-uni-bochum.deQuestionLinux3.1.3Using curl to post new entries

Hey,

i'm trying to use curl to post new entries to our logbook as described here: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68597.
The Elog is installed via the Deban package on Buster.
I created a test logbook with attributes Author, Type, Category and Subject.

curl -u florian:foobaa -F cmd=Submit -F Author=Florian -F Type=Diary -F Category=General -F Subject="testing curl" -F Text="foo baa" http://localhost:8080/test

As you can see, curl only prints the login page of the logbook and no new entry has been created. Any suggestions what might go worng here?

  69212   Tue Sep 8 14:22:11 2020 Question Anthony Krishockajkrishock@verizon.netQuestionWindowslatestfield selections persist across new log entries?

All,

 

I am using elog as an observation log for amateur astronomy. I have a form configured, but I would like to know if it is possible to make certain fields persist across new entries.

What I mean is this:

When I make an new observation, I select a value for sky conditions (say.. "1"). When I make another observation, "1" is already selected.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks

  69215   Wed Sep 9 11:41:23 2020 Question Zbigniew Reszelazreszela@cells.esQuestionAllV2.9.2-2455Insert images slow downs the ELOG

Dear all,

First, many thanks for creating and sharing this great tool which is ELOG! Our users are very happy with it!

I have few questions about inserting images into the entries.

From time to time our users insert them directly in the editor what leads to encoding the whole image in the HTML log file and the images does not appear in the attachments list. Saving and further editing of such entries slows down the whole ELOG server which uses 100% of CPU.

I'm not sure how they do it Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V, drag & drop, etc.. What I know is that if they add it using the "Insert image" action in the editor there are no problems and the images are properly listed in the attachments.

I read in the docs:

uploading or downloading an attachement file is a single request, and causes the entire file to be loaded in server memory while the request is being processed.
This is not normally a problem for the sort of short, text-mode entries ELOG is designed to support. However, if a user starts to upload or download a large attachment file (or image) over a slow link, all other users on that ELOG server will have to wait for that transfert to finish before they can access any logbook on that server. This is why there is a low limit on the size of attachments, and why ELOG should not be used to distribute large files under intensive multi-user conditions.

but I think this is not our case. Here I talk about wrongly inserting a single image of 700KiB.

So, I'm asking:

  1. Is the behavior that we observe something already detected? If yes, which are exactly the wrong ways of inserting the images?
  2. Is it fixed in newer ELOG versions?
  3. Is it possible to disable the wrong ways of inserting the images in order to avoid such problems?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

  69221   Mon Sep 21 09:17:52 2020 Question Florian Feldbauerflorian@ep1.ruhr-uni-bochum.deQuestionLinux3.1.3Query to get values for Attributes

Hey,

I'm trying to integrate the Elog into our SlowControl System (Phoebus/EPICS). As a first step I translated the python library to Java. So writing new Entries and viewing them works.
But for Phoebus, you need a list of the possible values for the attributes. Currently this is done via the config file from Phoebus.

Is there a way to get the values also via a query directly from the Elog?

Cheers,
Florian

  69224   Tue Sep 22 18:54:04 2020 Question Andreykowaraj4stuff@gmail.comBug reportLinuxELOG V3.1.4-493Bug report. "Submit" button misbehave

Hi. 

I am an IT guy of the AMS collaboration at CERN. We have been using your wonderful elog software for about 10 years now. Thanks! It served us so well that I guess we never got in touch with you. 

Recently we have upgraded it (probably for the first time in years) up to the version ELOG V3.1.4-4936b76.

Since then, we have a particular problem. And finally, I managed to reproduce it.

So, when I edit a record and click the "Submit" button it goes back to the summary view (as usual, as before) but it does not really save the entry. And it shows that the record is still being edited. I can actually click "back" in the browser and not to lose the modifications (otherwise, if I try to edit and steal the lock, it's lost). 

I will try to figure out where the problem is coming from. The most verbose mode of the elog server I've found is just GET-POST lines, not helpful. Is there a debug mode? 

Also, we ran httpd configured with the elogd as a virtual host (proxy).

Any help is very appreciated. 

Cheers, 

Andrey

Our Unix server died, so we decided to move our old eLog to the new server, running Mac OSX. Elog version is earlier then 2013, I can not say

I read that on OSX  eLog must be intalled through "make" command

if I need to install eLog first, how to add all old information later?

Hello,

I'm working on new logbook and in one category I'll have many attributes (many more than in attached screenshot).

So here is my question. Is it possible to visually group such attributes with some border, or something like that?

In screenshot you can see what I want to achieve.

Best Regards

Daniel
