icon5.gif   Resubmit as new entry, posted by miljan dedic on Thu Jun 3 22:22:33 2004 
Hello,
Elogd crashing when "Resubmit as new entry" is executed.
Tried with demo config, same result, also tried with snapshot version.
After the first crash i restart elogd, then it crashes every time i enter 
the logbook containing the entry i tried to "Resubmit as new entry"
Anyone seen same behavior, on win2000 platform ?.

icon5.gif   Restricting viewing messages, posted by Jen Manz on Wed Aug 11 15:38:07 2004 Welcome_Login.txtelogd.txt
I am working on a logbook for a lab.  I have two questions...
First - Some of the logbook entries should not be viewed by certain users.  
What would be the easiest way to restrict viewing some entries?  

Second - I have a welcome page for the ELOG that lists some info about the 
ELOG.  When I start the ELOG, the user sees the login page.  After the user 
logs in, the welcome page appears listing the restrictions.  Right now, I 
have a hyperlink that takes the user to new, find, etc.  But I would like 
to take the user right to the logbook and not have to come back to the 
welcome page everytime.  How can I do this?

I have attached the code I have so far.  They are in .txt format for easier 
viewing.

Thanks!

Is there anyway to restrict access so that a user can only see the log entries they post or only replies to their log entry?  I know it is possible to restrict editing to only posts they submitted, but I have a need to not even allow them to see other posts except for what they submitted and I am wondering if this is possible currently, or if this is planned, or could be planned for a future version?


Thanks,

Good morning,

I would like to ask you whether it is feasible to establish a logbook that limits access to entries, enabling each user to view only their own.
Although creating a logbook per user is an apparent solution, it does not meet my requirements.

Thank you in advance.

icon5.gif   Restrict edit time = 0 behavior intended?, posted by Chris Körner on Mon Nov 15 11:35:55 2021 

Hi,

I have set the options "Restrict edit time = 24" and "Admin restrict edit time = 0" in [global]. This way can only edit entries for 24 hours while the admin can forever. I now want a single logbook where all users have unlimited time to edit entries. However, setting "Restrict edit time = 0" in this specific logbook behaves differently to the admin setting as it simply sets the time to 0. Is this behavior intended or a bug? I guess a workaround is to specify the edit limitation not in global but in all logbooks seperately.

icon5.gif   Restrict edit - issue, posted by Heinzmann on Mon Mar 9 17:55:30 2009 

Hello,

please could you help me.

The Restrict edit funktion is not working. Because my user Dirk is able to edit/delete the text from user Peter:

 via select and edit.

Delete the - keep original text here - and then submit.

The whole text disappeared from the user Peter

I have tried both Restrict edit = 0 and then Restrict edit = 1 

Please note my config:

 

[global]
port = 80
Password file = C:\Program Files\ELOG\test.txt
Admin user = admin3
Self register = 1
Login expiration = 0

[demo]
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
Login user = Peter, Dirk, Kervin, Frank, MichaelH
Password file = C:\Program Files\ELOG\user.txt
Self register = 1
Login expiration = 0
Restrict edit = 0

 

Thanks

icon5.gif   Restrict Top Groups to logged-in users?, posted by Chris Green on Tue Jul 26 17:57:36 2005 
Hi,

I'd like to be able to prevent non-logged-in users from seeing what logbooks exist in a top group. Currently it seems that one is only required to log in once one has chosen a logbook. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Chris.
icon4.gif   Response is very slow with beta3, posted by PJ Meyer on Thu Jul 28 04:27:30 2005 
I finally got 2.60 Beta3 running on my server (explicit statements in cfg for most of the defaults)

Now I'm seeing a veerrry slooooow response time - over 3 minutes to open a logbook vs 10 sec in 2.54
Utilization of CPU runs to 60% on elogd.

Tried slimning down elog.cfg, 'emptying' userlog file (actually renamed so Elog created a new one).

Still 2.60b3 is very slow to respond.

When I rolled back to 2.54 speed was fast again.

Any ideas?

this is on a dual processor Win2000 server with 2 gb memory.

attached is the elog.cfg if that helps.

i'm stumped

7/28 Follow-up testing and trials

When I stopped using a password file - speed was quick and responsive (on test book with no password file speed was good which got me thinking about the password file)
When I added back in the 'old' xml password file - slow response
I created new password file with only one user - slow response (took almost 3 minutes to save new account)

I've attached the password file so you can try it out if yo want....

This has me very stumped.
