 | Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Bug report | Windows | Other | 3.1.1-bc8310a | Re: If a Required Attribute starts with a number – No CKEditor | Hi David,
I can confirm a bug: changing the encoding does not work if you have a required attribute starting with a digit. The following minimal config reproduces the bug:
[global]
Default encoding = 1
[test]
Attributes = 7SWM
Options 7SWM = Name
Required Attributes = 7SWM
Whatever you choose as a default encoding you'll be stuck with. If you remove the "Required Attributes" it works again.
The workaround is very simple: do not use any attributes that do start with a digit :-)
Cheers, Andreas

| Hello, Is the below an issue or am I doing something incorrectly? Creating an attribute starting with a number and then including that attribute in the Required Attribute list prevents access to the CKEditior. This appears to be the case at least with FreeBSD (10.2 Rel) using Elog V3.1.0 and Windows 7 with Elog V3.1.1-3f311c5. The problem can be recreated using the Elog supplied sample config and adding the necessary attribute, sample config showing below. While attribute 7SWM is part of the Required Attributes the CKEditor fails to appear, remove 7SWM from the Required Attributes list and the CKEditor returns. [global] port = 8080 [demo] Theme = default Comment = General Linux Tips & Tricks Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, 7SWM Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other Options 7SWM = Name-1, Name-2, Name-3 Extendable Options = Category Required Attributes = Author, Type, 7SWM Page Title = ELOG - $subject Reverse sort = 1 Quick filter = Date, Type Thank you, David Dunne |

 | Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Request | Windows | Latest | Re: Sample of actual elog Config with URL in SSL | You normally don't need to specify "URL = xxx" at all. It is only needed if you work with a Proxy that changes the normal ELOG URL. And yes, you'll need "Port = 433" and "SSL =1".
And elogd must be compiled with USE_SSL=1, maybe that's your problem?
In addition you should buy a valid SSL certificate. Otherwise every user needs to acknowledge an exception for your invalid SSL certificate.
Cheers, Andreas

HI Guys,
Can you please give me an idea how will I write in the config. I want my elog will be accessed via internet. Though there's a tutorial / guideline, I need an actual config file for me to easily grasp how the URL = xxx should be write. Do my port should be Port = 433 and SSL=1?
Thanks,
Raymund

 | Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Request | Linux | V3.1.0-2411f95 | Re: Prefill attributes for new post | Hi Johan,
yes, it is possible. And you were actually very close :-)
In order to pass preset-parameters within a URL, you just need to prefix the fieldname with a "p". In your example, you would write "...&pSubsystems=Vacuum".
Here is an example for the Linux Demo logbook:
https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/?cmd=New&pAuthor=Santa+Claus&pSubject=Christmas+Presents&pType=Problem+Fixed&pCategory=Hardware
This feature is even already documented: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html#misc :-)
I wish you a Happy New Year!
Andreas

Hi all,
I have a use case for ELOG where I need to be able to "prefill" some attributes in the "cmd=new" form, based on the URL.
To illustrate, imagine a link that takes the user directly to the form for creating a new post, with the "Subsystem" attribute already filled out to "Vacuum".
Is this possible already? I've tried naively using URL parameters (e.g. "&Subsystem=Vacuum") but that does not work. If it's not implemented, I think it would be a useful feature to have (and quite important for my particular use case). I could create a new post first using the "elog" tool, with the desired attributes set, but it makes more sense to defer the actual creation of the post to the user, i.e. he/she might change their mind before pressing "submit".
Thanks,
Johan Forsberg, MAX IV Laboratory, Sweden

 | Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Question | Windows | Latest | Re: Can I host elog in the web under windows platform without Apache Web Server? | I admit that I'm not sure if I understood the question. It is quite some work to do the opposite, to run elog behind an Apache Web Server.
But if you just install ELOG out of the box it will always run without an Apache Web Server. You don't need to add anything in the config file for that.

| Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.1 | Re: entry does not appear in list while it is being edited | Hi Devin,
this is the intended bevaviour, there is nothing wrong with that.
Only a submitted entry should be visible to the world.
If you would have played a little bit longer, you would have found out yourself how you'll get access again to this so-called "draft" entry after closing the browser window:
as soon as you attempt to create - as the same user - an new entry, you'll be asked if you want to continue editing your old draft entry instead.
I've attached a screenshot of this "pending draft" menu, as it has been shown for this entry before I've submitted it.
Kind Regards, Andreas
PS: You gave a very clear "failure" description: what you did, what you expected to happen and what you've observed what happened instead. Well done: that deserves a swift answer!

When an entry is being edited, it does not appear in the list once it's been autosaved or the editor manually clicks on "Save." This has been reproduced in the "Linux Demo" forum on this site, as well as on a clean installation of the 3.1.1 binary on EL6.
It would be great if there was a configuraiton option to control this, but I haven't found it yet. To reproduce:
- edit an existing entry
- click on "Save"
- view the list for that logbook, and the entry will be hidden until you click "Submit"
Obviously this becomes a problem when a user edits an entry, but navigates away from the browser window before submitting the changes.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Devin

You'll need a web service provider that will allow you to run your own services.
And then it'll either require some skills in host administration or a full host service by the provider.

Thanks Andreas and Stefan,
Since I'm not good in setting up webserver, do you know a web hosting company that can I use to integrate elog so that i can access my elog publicly same as you are using here? Thanks.
BR,

If your server would run on Linux, then the configuration below would just do what you've asked for:
Attributes = X
List change X = $shell(if [ -z "$X" ] ;then echo "";else echo "X";fi)
But since shell scripting is operating system dependent, you'll need to figure out yourself how to do it in Windows.
Cheers

| Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Question | Mac OSX | elog-3.1.0 | Re: New entry cannot be written to directory "/usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/" | You should check if the directory /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo belongs to the right user and has the right write permissions.
Since the elogd process belongs to the user "nobody", the directory should best belong to "nobody" as well (or - not recommended - allows write access for "others")
Cheers, Andreas
