"submit not allowed" you typically get if there is a "guest menu" for read-only access and you are not logged in. I never tried the elog program with PAM authentication, but you said that your turned authentication off. What I would do is to strip down your elogd.cfg to a very simple form until the elog utility works, then figure out which configuration makes the trouble.

Update: I tried switching the logbook to no authentication reqiured, and still get the "command Submit not allowed" response.

Hello,

How can one add an attachment to a new or existing entry with py_elog?
E.g. if I want to upload an image.

Thanks for the help!

I'm running  Elog version V3.1.4-ba84827 on Red Hat Linux 7.9. As part of migrating from an older in-house logbook to Elog, I need to upload all the old logbook entries. However, when I attempt to do that with the "elog" command line tool, I'm getting the error "command Submit not  allowed.

I read through a similar report from 2015 (entry #68149), but none of the potential causes seem to be at play here. The logbook is using PAM authentication, and I can log in to the web interface using the same credentials I'm using from the command line. The other case mentioned a dis-allowed encoding format, but my logbook is configured to allow all formats.

This is the command line I'm using:

/usr/local/elog/bin/elog -v -h logbook.aps.anl.gov -p 8081 -l On_Call -x -n 2 -a Date='10/19/2020 01:02' Author="David Wallis" Title='Test Upload' Status='Open' System='On-Call' -u 'wallis' '*****'  "This is a test message"

Look in the manual under "conditional attributes"

All,

I would like to know if there is a way in elog to populate a field based on the value of another field. What I want to do is have a field with a few selections (a menu) and another text field that populates based on what I select from the menu.

Is this possible?

Dear colleagues,
Can someone compile an up-to-date windows-version or write a manual how to do it in Windows without compiling errors?
Thank you.

Nope, this is not possible. Sorry.

Stefan
