  69006   Tue Aug 20 09:47:06 2019 Question Lechsubs@lwp.emailQuestionLinux3.1.3Drag and drop does not work in 3.1.3?

Hello,

I can paste images into text (which resulted in the text_size too long error message), however, I can't drop them on my elog. However, I can do it on the demo version. Was the drag and drop into text already supported in version 3.1.3 and I am just missing some configuration option, or do I need to find a repository with a more recent version of elog?

Thanks!

Hello.

In Elog i have attribute called "Zmieniano" (eng. changed)  which should store how many times entry was edited. If entry was not edited it should have only preset value "oryginalny wpis" (eng. oryginal entry), but when I edit it, it should have also date, time, and person who make edit (this is made by "Subst on Edit Zmieniano = $Zmieniano<br>- Zmiana $date przez $long_name z $remote_host)". 

From version V3.1.1-3f311c5 I have problem with that. 

When I add entry, and entry is auto saved, then auto save is shown in the attribute "Zmieniano" (eng. changed) as an next edit, which I dont want. Entry from attached screenshot was not edited, but in "Zmieniano" (eng. changed) attributes it has two values:

  • Oryginalny wpis (eng. oryginal entry),
  • Zmiana 27.08.2015, 10:52 przez Daniel Sajdyk z serwerownia.sr.lez (eng. Changed 27.08.2015.... ) 

The second value is autosave time. 

Is this a bug?

 

Regards

Daniel.

Hello,

I've noticed that many times, I start an elog and continue editing adding to a few hours later, then I submit and it deletes everything I entered after the last time a draft was saved. I paid more attention and saw that it saves a draft after about a few minutes, and if I wait too long before submitting, it doesn't let me re-save the draft. My workaround is to copy all text before I submit, so if it ignores whatever I entered after the last saved version, I can edit it and paste it back in. Is there a setting someplace that I can change to fix this problem?

Thanks!

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

Hi,

I'm trying to configure Elog such that users can self-register. But no luck so far.
I cannot get the login screen. I'm connecting to a logbook (and I can do this without logging in).
Shouldn't I get a screen to login/register?

Here is my elogd.cfg:
[global]
Port=8880
Password file = /usr/local/elog/logbooks/passwd
SMTP host = smtp.mydomain.de
SMTP user = kuku
Logfile = /usr/local/elog/logs/elog.log

Login user = abc def ghi
SSL=1
URL=https://www.mydomain.de:8880/
Self register = 1
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help

Say I have an attribute called OS

Instead of having a drop down box is there a way to use either the radio 
button like what is used with ICON?
