I expanded an elog server from 1 to 3 logbooks. For each logbook there is a separate password file defined. 

When I try to add a new user in one of the 2 new logbooks using config => new user, it adds the user to the password file for the original logbook.

Have verified that access to the logbooks is controlled via the separate password files. If it would help to provide an example of the elogd.cfg or if I need to clarify further, let me know. 

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks. Mark.

Hi, I have been using elog for years at CERN.

Now I installed in my local workstation at my home inistitue

and sysadmin reported the following vulnerabilities:

  - Configuration File Disclosure (CVE-2019-3992)

  - Password Hash Disclosure (CVE-2019-3993)

  - Use After Free (CVE-2019-3994)

  - NULL Pointer Dereference (CVE-2019-3995)

  - Unintended Proxy (CVE-2019-3996)

Am I doing soimething wrong?

sysadmin will not allow me to use it until it is fixed....

Any help is welcome.

Right now a Draft shows a red error indication, that the entry is currently a draft. For the CSS styling it uses the HTML class="errormsg". The same class is also used if an entry does not exist.

Would it be possible for the draft version to use a different HTML class (for example class="draftmsg")? It can also use the same visual style (or making it yellow would probably also work)

The reason is that the py_elog Interface uses the class="errormsg" to determine if an entry does not exist ( https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog/blob/master/elog/logbook.py#L394 ) and refuses to return the content for this entry. One could possibly fix that also on the py_elog part, but it would probably at least require parsing of actual text (which might make problems for translated pages). Alternativley one could also look for the edit button, but maybe a small change on the elog server side is the simplest solution to this problem?

Hello all,

I just found elog which is a great piece  of software! I'm implementing it for use to log my shortwave listening contacts. The problem that I have is I'm moving over a current log to elog which already has a date of when the record was created, which is important.I renamed the old date to day to upload the log into elog. My problem is I don't need to see elog's ID# or date/time stamp of when the log was created seeing it's already in my data. My question is, is there any way to not show elog's ID# and date/time stamp or would I need to create a tab and if so could someone provide a config file where I could see how the tab was implemented. I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like so far. I've implemented the dark theme (which I like) that Anthoney had posted in the contibutions section.

Thanks in advance!

Jim

Hello,

Is there a possibility to use like the time stamp a user stamp: by clicking the button in the main text entry it adds the username, just like the time stamp button does: Tue Apr 12 08:58:46 2022 ?

I searched but I'm not sure how this would be correctly named.

Thanks,

Hello,

I do have a backup of elog repository in an external disk (with a directory name .elog). I want to install this repository to a new linux (either ubuntu 20.xx or Cent OS 7) computer. I am new to this, can someone please provide me an instructions sheet. 

Thank you

Would it be possible to download attachments (e.g. with elog or wget) from the command line?

Dear all, 

I would need your help with an incremental index with date information.

I want to have an incremental number made by the last two digits of the year, the two digits of the month and an incremental four digits number. 

Subst Number = %y%m####

The problem is that I don't want to have the incremental number reset to zero every new month, but rather only once a year. Is it something like this possible? 

Thanks for your help!
