Is there a way to require a certain attribute on reply, but not on an original entry?  In some cases info. for these fields only exists on reply.

No. There is only "Preset on reply ..." and "Remove on reply...". You could for example require that attribute, preset it for new entries with some dummy value, and remove that value with "Remove on reply...". Maybe that works. 

Is there a way to merge existing entries from several logbooks into a single logbook? 

Only manually: Add "Move to" to you set of commands via "Menu commands = ...", then select one or more entries, and move them to your target logbook.  

 Got it! Thanks...

My elog server is hosted behind a firewall and I use a VPN client to connect to the network on which it is hosted.  When I'm logged into the VPN emails from elog display fine, but when I'm not connected to the VPN emails display in plain text because the email client is unable to load "default.css" since it's behind a firewall.

Is there a way to include the style information in the HTML email rather than in a separate file that's hosted on the elog server? 

That's a good idea. I will consider that for a future version. 

hello

i've tried to change the color of a cell with "cell style"

it doesn't works

by removiving "cell" in the line ,just to get "style" the color of all cell of the row change (so it works for that...)

regards

As written here: https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/66807 you need to upgrade to version 2.7.8-5 of ELOG to get this functionality. 

 You're right my verssion was the previous one

Hi,

is it possible to have as DEFAULT the font Size larger ?

Thanks

Sara

This is controlled by the FCKEditor  which is just a plug-in to ELOG. Maybe you find some information on their website: http://ckeditor.com/

Stefan,

i recently download the elog server for windows and configured. its working with me fine

i would like to configure my elog server for to display a different color when am giving a specific "value" for a attribute "Status".

from the documentation i found to use the

Style Status Fixed = background-color:green

but with this configuration, the entire raw will be with red color or the specified color. i am looking only for that specific box (Status column) to be with specific color.

my configuration is as follows

Attributes = Author, Type, Category,  Subject, Location, Problem Description, Status

Options Status = Fixed, Under Process, Not Fixed

Style Status Fixed  = background-color:green

Style Status Not Fixed  = background-color:red

Style Status Under Process  = background-color:yellow

Am attaching two images, one is current display and next one is what i am looking for

am not sure about will it possible or not.  please guide me. if it possible with javascript please tell me how i can include a external javascript for this pupose.

Thanks in advance

siva

I have added a new option for you:

Cell Style <attribute> <value> = ...

which does exactly that. The new version is 2.7.8-5 is ready for download. 

 Dear Stefan,

I really appreciate you doing this for me. i downloaded the latest version and configured as you said. its working very well. Actually this is what i am exactly looking for. Thank you very much

i would like to ask you about one more issue.

is it possible to deduct a numeric attribute from another numeric attrubute

let me explain clearly. suppose i have two attribute, both having a numeric value which is submitted by the user.

i would like to get its difference of these two attribute in an another attribute

please let me know its possible or not

once again i would like to appreciate you for making this wonderful application and helping me to resolve the issue

Best Regards

siva

You can do this is JavaScript. Just have a look here:

Hello Stefan,

I can not find 2.7.8-5 tar file. Could you please point where it is?

Thanks,

Ruslan.

This is an intermediate (-5) release. Usually I do not build the tar files, since linux users can always grab the source code via SVN and built it themselves. I just make the for the Windows users since most of the do not have a C compiler. Exceptionally I made a 2.7.8-5.tar file for you, which you can obtain from the download area. 

 Thanks a lot Stefan.

The problem is still there in 2.7.8-5. The following line 'Cell Style Status Done = background-color:green' does not do anything whereas 'Style Status Done = background-color:green' highlights the whole row. Is that fixed?

Thanks,

Ruslan.

Then it must be a typo in your elogd.cfg, or you forgot to restart the server. At the bottom of the elog page you must see ELOG V2.7.8-2294 like on this page. For the Demo logbook (accessible via "Demo" on the top left corner of this page, you can see how it works (Type=Routine gets green).

 Right, I should have restarted the server. Thanks! Everything looks perfect now!

I installed ELOG on a Linux server (CentOS 5.2) and a WinXP laptop.

- If I set both servers to non-SSL, I can synchronize with no problems.

- If I set both servers to use SSL, synchronization fails with "Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long" 

- If I set one to ssl and the other non-ssl, synchronization fails with "Remote server is not an ELOG server"

Is anyone synchronizing or mirroring two ELOG servers with SSL? When either or both servers are set to use SSL, I can use either site. but I can't synchronize.

Thanks

Synchronization with SSL does not yet work. I have to find some time to implement it. Since you are already the second one mentioning this, it slipped higher on my to-do list  

 Count me also in for the to-do list climbing :-D

Hi Stefan, we would also like to see synchronization with SSL working. Hopefully now this task can slip even higher on your to-do list.   It is a real pain to get to the elog from outside PSI, when elogd is running inside PSI (which it must be when working as an online logbook with MIDAS). We would very much ike to mirror it on a server outside PSI.

When someone logout from my Elog, or the person does not have access to a logbook (due to "Login user  =") the person gets a blank webpage with "redir" typed in the upper left corner.

I guess it should redir to some webpage? How can I get it to actually do that? Am I missing something in elogd.cfg?

Have you tried the URL = ... statement? 

If a user that is not in "Login User =" tries to enter it would be nicer to have a "Access denied", instead of getting the first page again (user just keeps on trying and gets upset)... =)
