  69076   Thu Dec 19 16:28:06 2019 Warning Devin Bougiedab66@cornell.eduBug reportLinux | Windows | Mac OSX | All | Other3.1.4text wrapping broken in firefox
When creating new logbook entries, recent versions of firefox somehow ignore the message width setting.

For example, configure a logbook with:
Message Width = 76
Message Height = 20

Then, create a new plain text entry that contains very long lines.  The text entry box is the correct size, but once you hit submit and view the full display of the message, it is not wrapped properly.  The summary display is wrapped properly, but not the full display.

We've only found this to be a problem with recent versions of firefox.  Chromium, Safari, and old versions of firefox behave properly.

I think the text display of ASCII files, which is new in version
2.5.4, is not a good idea.  E.g. I had a large ps file attached
to one entry and it took a long time display this entry (over DSL).
Then I saw that the ps-file is displayed as text, which is not really 
useful.  

Probably it is fine to display only files ending in '.txt' per default.
In addition a file that has more than say 1000 lines should probably 
also not be displayed (as default, optional OK).  

Cheers, Heiko

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to set a minimum default value for the height of the text box when submitting new entries. If I understood well, by default the text box height automatically resizes in order that all the elements of the page are visible. Actually for our needs having a minimum height of the text box fixed (for instance 500px)  is by far more useful of viewing the attachment box (we know it is down scrolling the page :) ). We know it is possible to resize the text box using the mouse but doing this every time one creates a new entry can be annoying. Setting a default minimum size would be more confortable. Is it possible to do this?

 

Thank you 

Beppe

Hello,

I just gave it a quick try to the command line client, to see if I can use it to access our institution service. 


[root@host ~]# cd /tmp/
[root@host ~]# mkdir elog
[root@host ~]# cd elog
[root@host ~]# wget https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@host ~]# rpm2cpio elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
[root@host ~]# cd usr/local/bin/
[root@host ~]# ./elog --help
[root@host ~]# ./elog -h <hostname> -l <logbook> -u <myusername> <mypassword> -w last
"Message successfully transmitted, ID=-1"

 

Is that the expected output? I was expecting to see info about the latest message in the server.

Cheers,

Jose

Hello

To test elog i created a very large databasefile ( 071006a.log = 39MB ) via an import.
Nothing special. At the import I already got a message to increase "Max content length" to 22420822 in the global section. Below is the what i've done. There are no attachments involved, as you can see.
[global]
port = 80;
Max content length = 22420822
[DAP]
Theme = default
Attributes=Klant,Doc
Quick filter = Klant

So there are only 2 user defined fields in the database.
Everything works ......... but terrible slow : is there a rule of thumb for the size of the database ?

  68995   Wed Aug 7 02:57:55 2019 Question Lechsubs@lwp.emailQuestionLinux3.1.3tags

Hello,

Is it possible to create tags for new entries in elog? I understand it would have to be some kind of mix between Extendable options and moptions. Currently, whatever is entered in extendable options forms one option, while usually for tags, words separated by # form different tags. As usual with tags, I would like to add multiple tags to my new entry and then be able to filter all entries by specific tag or group of tags.
