Hello Stefan,

I stubbled on a issue with our elog.
We introduced an attribute "mode" to one of the elogs and it breaks the "Find" function as this attribute is already used for the viewing settings "full", "summary" and "threaded".
(HTTP parameter pollution)

I suspect other special attributes used by the internals of elog should also not be allowed.
A quick search in the "Find" reveals these attributes in the URL, so I guess, these should also be avoided.
This list could be incomplete

npp, ma, da, ya, mb, db, yb, attach, reverse, mode

A simple workaround would be updating the documentation to add these to the list of forbidden attributes.
https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html
Maybe a warning can be added, if the elog behaves unexpected, try other attribute names, as they can conflict with internal attributes.

A fix could be to add a prefix for internal attributes, which can't be used for user attributes.

Best wishes,
Sebastian

PS: I also noticed using the "Find" command, the generated URL contains 2 reverse attributes like "reverse=0&reverse=1"

Dear Stefan,

First of all, I appreciate that you made such a nice program. I've used elog for more than 5 years and it was wonderful experince to me and my research work was very productive with this.

I have a suggestion to you to improve this while I was using elog. If users can add texts or comments for each attachment, it will be great.

I am not sure if someone was already suggested this or it is already in your wish list.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have a problem when I try to edit an existing entry. I want to add an attachment. I can upload an attachment to the existing entry, but submitting it does not seem to work. The  added attachment is not visible. But it exists in logbook directory. The only way I found to add it, is to use "Resubmit as new entry" which is not quite what I want. Is it a design feature or perhaps I'm doing something wrong ?

Best regards

Hi there,

When I just enter a string of text it seems to work fine... I would really appreciate any help!

thanks!
