Want to use the find function from ELOG to search for empty fields ( Attributes that are not defined ) 
How to do that ? 
Could not find it in the Forum.
 

Greetings Arno Teunisse
 

Dear all,

I just wanted to share a small script which I wrote to integrate our ELOG in Slack. This allows us to be notified immediately if there is a new logbook entry directly within the appropriate Slack channels. We're using ELOG V2.9.2-245 but if the log-file format has "Subject, Author, Type" in the header, it should work with any other version. I'm using Pyinotify for the file watch which relies on a Linux Kernel feature (merged in kernel 2.6.13) called inotify, so the script only works on Linux.

Here is the code: https://github.com/tamasgal/elog-slack

Cheers and thanks for ELOG!

I suspect that this might be a Debian packaging issue; however no one replied to my help request on the Debian forums so I try posting the question also here. I insatlled Elog on my Debian Jessie machine, I can open it with a browser but when entering a new post just a simple plain text editing box is shown instead of the WYSIWYG editor, and no drag and drop area for attachments is shown. When I start the elog service with "systemctl start elog" I get this suspect message in the journal: "FCKedit NOT detected". Indeed, I see that the elog installation creates a symlink which I guess is supposed to point to the fckeditor installation, which nevertheless is missing:

root@static-3-080:/usr/share/elog/scripts# ll fckeditor
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 25  2014 fckeditor -> ../../fckeditor
root@static-3-080:/usr/share/elog/scripts# ll ../../fckeditor
ls: cannot access ../../fckeditor: No such file or directory

Is this a Deban misconfiguration or a bug in Elog? thanks

Thanks for reportung that bug. I fixed it in revision f828049.

There seems to be a small problem with the new "Date/Time format <attribute>" implementation. It works great for the detailed view of a single entry:

But fails to work on the list view (same entry, the Date column is formated as it should):

Relevant config part:

Time format Time Start = %H:%M:%S
Time format Time End = %H:%M:%S

I am interested in using LDAP authentication for elogd on Windows for which it looks like I need to compile from source, enabling LDAP in the make file.

Does anyone have advice on build environments for Windows in which they have had success making elog?  Free ones preferably, such as Cygwin. 

Version 3.1.1, released August 4^th, 2015

• Updated CKEditor to version 4.5.1

• Implemented "Date/Time format <attribute> = ..."

• Implemented "Use Email Subject Edit = ..."

• Replaced "Back" by "Delete" button

• Fixed many issues with Draft Messages

• CSS file is now in *addition* to the default file elog.css

• Added LDAP documentation

• Added "Logout to URL = ..." option

• Added description of Apacher server authentication

Thanks, I included your changes in the distribution.
