I have server with SunOS 5.11:

uname -a

SunOS *** 5.11 snv_134 i86pc i386 i86pc

when I try to compile ELog I get error:

gmake

gcc  -DHAVE_SSL -w -c -o crypt.o src/crypt.c

gcc  -DHAVE_SSL -I../mxml -o elog src/elog.c crypt.o -lsocket -lnsl -lssl

Undefined                       first referenced

_ast_realloc                        crypt.o

ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written to elog

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

gmake: *** [elog] Error 1

The crypt.c file is not from me, so there might be some issues on other OSes. I defined now at least MIN/MAX by hand, and also removed mempcpy. The new version is attached. Can you try again to compile it? The strtoul and realloc are nomal C functions, maybe you have to add some other libraries for linking, but I'm not an expert for SunOS. 

 Hi,

When upgraded to version 2.8.0-2331 we receive the email like below whitout the frame:

Een nieuw ELOG bericht is bezorgd:  Logboek: NMLAN  Bericht ID: 927    Geef de tijd op: 5-11-2010 23:07:40 Author: Marty Jansen  Type: QuickChange  Category: Software  Subject: Elog - Update

Any idea how to get the HTML format email back?

It looks strange but when I copy and past the message, like I did here,  the HTML format is OK, but not when I receive the email in Outlook. This used to be OK with the previous version.

Nothing has changed in Outlook

The email notification contains the basic HTML code and an (external) reference to the underlying CSS. I use for example Thunderbird instead of Outlook, and this program asks me if I should "show remote content". Only if I click yes, then the external CSS is loaded. Outlook might also have an option "view as web page" or so. The old format did not use full HTML and therefore was displayed correctly. This can be changed with the email encoding = ... option.

Is there a way to add a button to the elog interface which would execute a python command?

No, there are only the options

execute new = ...

execute edit = ...

execute delete = ...

though which you can execute external scripts. Maybe this is enough? 

We have multiple users for a single elog.  Aside from making an entry only editable by the author, is there a way to secure the entry if it is being edited so that only one user may edit a particular entry at one time?

Also, is there a way to auto-submit entries after x minutes?

Your help and support are appreciated.

Harley

You can use

use lock = 1

as described in the documentation. Auto-submission is on the wishlist and will be implemented in the not-so-far future. 

Nasty nasty. I prepared a longish post and only because I forgot to click an Icon of choice, all my message is lost.

Thus in short:

openssl/ssl.h isn't there.

I assume I got to get it from openssl.org.

But where do I put it in the compilation tree?

 Replying to my own post: libdev-ssl wasn't installed.

hello

how to set text column width in Elog

thank you

There is currently no easy possibility to change this except manually changing the CSS file. But that requires some CSS and HTML knowledge. You would have to change the CSS class "listtitle2" and "summary".

We have been running elog for a few years now and its solid. The only thing is we are getting to 140k entries over a few books and its starting to slow down whist searching. My questions is can we go to an SQL type database rather than a flat file? Is it worth it? Is anyone running this type of configuration?

Running through a SQL database requires a major rework of the software. I'm planning this in the long run, but not for this year. I'm also not sure how much this would buy you. If you do a full-text search on 140k entries in a SQL database (not index search), this might also take some time.

But what you can do is to "archive" part of your logbooks. Since the files are named YYMMDDa.log, you can move all 09XXXXXa.log files into a separate "archive" which you then do not include in your search.  

good morning,

I have installed elog 2.8.0 from terminal but when I type

elogd -p 80

or simply

elogd

the system tells me

Cannot bind to port 8080

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Marco M

Under linux, only the "root" user can start programs on ports below 1024. If you get problems binding to ports above 1024 (such as 8080) it means that some other program uses already that port. You can check what is running usually with

netstat -l -p
