  69707   Thu Nov 2 11:38:36 2023 Question Leonardo Tacconileonardo.tacconi@unifi.itQuestionWindows3.1.3Restricting entries view by user

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.

Leonardo

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.

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

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.
  1355   Thu Jul 28 04:27:30 2005 Warning PJ Meyerpjm@pjmeyer.orgBug reportWindows2.60b3Response is very slow with beta3
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.

i'm getting white background and no icons anywhere.

so tried to install in a clean location as it comes out of the box with no changes. get white background, no colour.

tried moving css files, graphic files, etc, around - nothing.

emptied bowser caches (IE and Opera)
deleted appropriate cookies
stop and started many time.

and still at the end of the day - i get a white background only, no colour what so ever.

also get page not found when clicking on a row to edit entry.
example: http://dhsdlj159941.hr.state.or.us/demo/1
is record #1 in demo table, elog can't display it when i click on it in the list window.

any ideas?


That's strange. Can you check if elog finds it's own host properly? The CSS file should be under

http://dhsdlj159941.hr.state.or.us/demo/default.css

and if you look at the HTML source of you standard page you should see something like:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://dhsdlj159941.hr.state.or.us/demo/default.css">

Could it be that elog places something else than "dhsdlj159941.hr.state.or.us" as the host name? If so, you could override this with following statement in elogd.cfg:

URL = http://dhsdlj159941.hr.state.or.us/

That should also fix your other problem.


OK tried all that and nothing. html source reads like it should.

I can see the discussion/forum here site as it should be

I updated a working setup from 2.54 to 2.60.beta3 and I get the white background with no colours on the restart of Elogd. Going back to 2.54 brought back the colours.
this is the source <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://ISE-DEVEL1-OLD/default.css">.
Works in 2.54, does not seem to work in 2.60beta3

I've tried coping the default.css file to everyplace i could think of and then a few more places. Wink
This has happened on NT 4 server, 2000 server, and XP client machines. Brand new installs (server never saw elog before), upgrades in place, etc, etc, etc. Wish we could run linux in the shop.

Tried in the cfg file:
Resource dir = c:\e-log
Logbook dir = c:\e-log\logbooks
Theme = default
CSS = default.css


This is so strange.
Any ideas on where to go in trouble shooting this?


think I figured it out- had to make explict most of the default settings: resource, logbook, url, theme, css and so on.

so this is done.

I'm not satisfied with this solution, I rather would like to fix the problem at the source. So can you remove the explicit directory settings, then stip down the config file to the bare minimum where the problem happens, then send me this file so that I can reproduced it. Do yo use SSL, stunnel or a proxy?
