[New Feature]: JS calendar filter , posted by Emiliano Gabrielli on Thu Jul 28 18:42:48 2005 
|
NOTE:
it seems that for some strange reason it slows down elog very much when and only when elog is stunneled over ssl!
The attached tarball contains a full featured JavaScript allowing everyone to use a JS calendar (no popup windows, just JS and CSS!) to perform date-based filtering actions. An uncompressed version and the tarball for the last cvs rvision of this script is available at www.SuperAlberT.it
You can browse the ChangeLog here.
A simple way to use it is to uncompress the wall package into the elog data dir, under the "scripts" subdir.
the you can add the following code to your elog.cfg:
Filter Menu text = scripts/calendar_filter/calendar_filter.html
note that this configuration parameter is available in elog starting from
Revision 1.732 2005/07/29
and automagically have the new calendar_filter icon showed

| The following instructions should work in securing the elog using stunnel version 4 under Linux. The specific paths may have to be adapted to your distribution. A sample configuration file is attached. |

Compiling elogd.c on HP-UX 64 bit, posted by Peter Rienstra on Wed Jul 11 11:13:16 2007
|
We succeeded in compiling and running elogd (elog-2.6.5) on HP-UX 64 bit Itanium platform (HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64).
The main problem was we got a core dump after starting elogd. The cause was that the memory has be allocated with a 4 byte boundary. This could be the case on other 64 bit platforms as well. A colleague of mine (Sander Notting) found the solution.
Unzip and untar the zip file (elog-latest.tar.gz)
Go to the src directory (elog-2.6.5/src)
Edit elogd.c
Replace all:
show_selection_page(NULL); => show_selection_page();
seteuid => setuid
setegid => setgid
On line 564:
void *buffer => char *buffer
Line 645, add the text in bold:
void *xmalloc(size_t bytes)
{
char *temp;
/* Align buffer on 4 byte boundery for HP UX and other 64 bit systems to prevent Bus error(core dump)*/
if (bytes & 3)
bytes += 4 - (bytes & 3);
temp = (char *) malloc(bytes + 12);
After that compile:
cc -w -c -o regex.o regex.c
cc -w -c -o mxml.o ../../mxml/mxml.c
cc -w -c -o strlcpy.o ../../mxml/strlcpy.c
cc -I../../mxml -o elogd elogd.c regex.o mxml.o strlcpy.o
We didn't try to run elogd under root yet. |

I applied most of your patches to the elog source code, SVN revision 1885. The only missing piece has to do with seteuid/setuid. I definitively need seteuid for linux, because elogd might be started under root, then it falls back to an optional elog user. But when it stops, it has to restore the original root user in order to delete the PID file (/var/run/elogd.pid) which was created under root. If seteuid does not exist under HP-UX, you should add something like
#ifdef HP-UX
setuid(...)
#else
seteuid(...)
#endif
Probably the HP-UX has to be something else, but I cannot test this since I don't have such an OS here. Once you get this working I can put it into the standard distribution. |

Stefan,
First I want to say I really like your program. We work in a small group of 5 database administrators, and this is exactly what we need to inform each other. Elog is simple but very functional, so thanks!
My problem is that I don't have root access to the HP-UX machines. We don't run elogd as root, so I wasn't really interested in the seteuid functionality, I just wanted to compile and run the program.
HP-UX doesn't have the "seteuid" and "setegid" functions. But there are "setuid+setgid", "setreuid+setregid" and "setresuid+setresgid" functions available. I'm not sure which one is the best to use. I uploaded the manpages as attachment. I hope this will help you.
If you want I can do a compile and run test on HP-UX with your altered source code. But I can't do a test with "root".

I had a look and found that setreuid/setregid is also available under Linux, so I use those functions instead, which should also work on HP-UX. Can you check revision 1888 (http://savannah.psi.ch/viewcvs/trunk/src/elogd.c?root=elog&rev=1888), compile it and see if you can run it at least under your non-root account. |

I downloaded revision 1888. There were no problems compiling it. It's running on the HP-UX system now and everything seems to work fine. |

Javascript verification of simple attributes with regexp, posted by JacekK on Tue May 24 22:43:38 2011
|
Hi,
I added possibility for a new verification of required fields in generated Javascript "function chkform()". To do this I added new logbook option "ValidPattern", in which you can set regular expression for an attribute, for example
ValidPattern HexDigits=[0-9a-fA-F]+
If there is a pattern set for required field, then in chkform() function is generated additional verification, if value of the field matches validation regexp.
Changes I made should not decrease performance of elogd. Let me know please if you can add it to regular version.

create incremental daily backups of logbooks for Unix/Linux, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Sep 9 12:08:26 2011

A very simple backup utility for elog logbooks.
If you want to recover your logbook from corrupted entries, an incremental backup comes in handy:
you can just replace the corrupted files with the previous versions.
Below is a very simple wrapper to create backups of the logbook into some local directory (/logbooks_backup in
the example script). The second wrapper lists the files in a given ".tar" archive.
You would run the backup from a cron job with the line:
1 0 * * * /usr/local/elog/elog_backup_daily
This will create daily backups of modified logbook and config files and a weekly backup of the password file
/usr/local/elog/passwd.txt (if you wonder why: our passwd.txt file has more than 1 MByte and of course it
changes with every login).
elog_backup_daily (copy to /usr/local/elog) script to create tar file and remove tar files older than 90 days
exclude-logbooks (copy to /usr/local/elog) list of files to be excluded in backup (thumbnails, etc.)
elog_backup_listfiles (copy to /usr/local/bin) shows content of a given tar file (omits directories in list) |

Hello.
I did simple theme for ELOG called "dansaj".
This is verision which I did for my ELOG, and if you have troubles in other configurations, please let me know, and we will correct it.
Vectors versions of icons you can find in oryginals folder (if you want to transform it).
The most current version you can download from my blog - Elog theme, czyli skórka, albo temat.
