Your problem is the wrong password parameter. The "-w" password is only if a write password is defined in the config file. If the user level access is chosen however, you have to specify the username/password pair only separated by a blank such as in

elog ... -u myuser mypwassword ...

In ELOG you can define "attributes", so take one attribute for each informaiton you need. The flag these attributes as required via "Required attributes = ...". If you only want this attributes for certain occations (like data taking in your case), you can either do a separato logbook for data taking, or use "conditional attributes" to make these attributes only show up for data taking.

Hello!

I was wondering if it is possible (and how) to define a template (something equivalent to an excel table with some required informations to be filled) that opens each time one wants to make a new entry of a given type, e.g., I want this template to open only when the informations concern data taking.

I hope I am sufficiently clear ...

Thank you,

I.M.

No, it cannot be done right now, but it's on the wishlist since some time. 
So I added your vote there.

My goal is to put a "Co-Authors" Attribute in my logbook, giving the possibility to other people in the control room to have credits about an entry... I added a "Co-Author" attribute, but It shold permit a "multliple" selection (a checkbox is not good) ... the perfect solution would be to add the attribute "multiple" to the <select> tag, and filling the elog Attribute value with a comma separated list of the selections ...

tnx in advance Smile


Have you tried
MOptions ...
which gives you check boxes where more than one can be selected?

I presume you have, but you really would prefer a multi-selection box instead of multiple check boxes Wink . Well, let's make a deal: if you explain everybody how to do a selection in a multi-select box (with all the Shift-Click, CTRL-Click, and this under different operating systems), I will implement it Big grin

a multiple selection box it's a standard web tool .. if one is not able to use its browser is not an elog problem IMHO Tongue

My request is becouse having a number of user (say 20) makes the checkbox solution very very nasty .. again, it's a choice you give to the smart user .. others simply will not notice any change in elog Wink

Really? Can you point me to a common web site using this? I would really like to see how other people use this.

Ok, I put it on my wishlist. If more than one person asks for this, I will implement it. Unfortunately it's not only putting a multiple into the HTML page, it's also a different way how multiple selections are passed in the POST form and their decoding, so it will be an hour or two of work for me.

I can't remember just now a web site using it .. what I mean is that "multiple" attribute for the "select" tag is a standard for the web (it's not an IE extension or so on ..) so every web browser implements it.

It's normally used, for example, when you fill a form describing your attitudes, here you can often choose from a select box a number of interest you are concerded.. but it is only an example

Yes I know, uhm... if you point me to the right piece of code to be adjusted I can see if I'll be able to do the job Smile

I found the reason of the bug:
In line 27441 of elogd.cxx the http_user is overwritten by the user saved in the sid_ array as a sideeffect of the sid_check function:
sid_check(getparam("sid"), http_user)

It can solved by changing elogd.cxx @ line 27441

27441c27441,27446
<          if (!sid_check(getparam("sid"), http_user)) { /*  if we don't have a sid yet, set it */
---
>          i=sid_check(getparam("sid"), thumb_name);
>          if (i && strcmp(http_user,thumb_name)!=0) {  /* user changed */
>             sid_remove(getparam("sid"));
>             i=FALSE;
>          }
>          if (!i) { /*  if we don't have a sid yet, set it */

Remark: I have used the variables i & thumb_name of the function in a local context.
