Hello!

First I would like to thank you for making such a good free software available:). Then right back into the busness. I have a question to developers. I used the following Options to get the logbook entry  which defines the licences expiration date (See the attachement). Now I would like to ask on how to configure eLog to send an e-mail notification when this date is reached?

Attributes = Licence Expiration date
Type Licence Expiration date = date
Date format = %A, %B %d, %Y

The ideal solution would be to have configurable variable which would automatically send a notification X days before the expiration date is reached. Do you think this would be possible feature request to this Forum into eLog wishlist?

That's not possible with ELOG, which is meant as an electronic logbook. You need a calendar application for that. 

 Hi! Thanks for the quick response. Do you have any suggestions on which calendar applications I should start looking for for this purpose?

Thanks,

Tero

You could write a shell script, run it through cron and send mail from that. (even in windows I assume)

Hi,

I try to configure the elog as servers log book.  I need to devide the text entry area by 2 section: 1 for issue so I can put in detail what is the issue of my servers.  the other section below the 1st one for solution.  is it posible to do so?

The easiest is to put a horizontal line into the entry ...

...like this one. This can even be done via "Preset text =" so it comes by default on a new entry.

 Hello,

I'm curious, is it possible to specify (perhaps by default) the rendered size of an attached image. For example, I'd like all images uploaded to be scaled to 100% of the browser window size so a large image is not most off the screen. What I want is to specify the width="100" attribute of the <img /> tag, but it's not clear 1) how do to this for an attachment and 2) if it might be possible to do this in the config file for all img attachments.

Thanks,

Val

When you use the ImageMagick package, attached images are scaled to a predefined size using the option "Thumbnail size = ...". See the documentation for that option for details.

Hi

Tested this using the 2.6.1 version which comes packed with ubuntu-dapper and a 2.7.5 version I've compiled from source.

If I compile the 2.7.5 version from source and start it using

sudo /usr/local/sbin/elogd -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg

config snippets below

---------------------------------

/usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg:

[global]
port = 8080
;url = http://solsikker.dmi.dk/elog/

[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
------------------------------------

The icons show up !!

If I go through an apache proxy (config snippets below)

----------------------------------------

/usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg:

[global]
port = 8080
url = http://solsikker.dmi.dk/elog/

[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

From apache conf

ProxyPass /elog/ http://solsikker.dmi.dk:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /elog/ http://solsikker.dmi.dk:8080/
<Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        allow from all
</Proxy>
-------------------------------------

The icons are missing !!!

The icons a showing up when using apache and the 2.6.1 elog version.

Hello,

I just mirrored a logbook and noticed attachments are missed.

On another similar note, when an email notification is sent and the post has attachment, the attachment show up in the email BUT there is nothing in them.

Anything special I should know about those attachments ?

Thank you,

F.Sabatié

 I just found out that email notifications only worked for the first 50 users of this forum. So if you registered only recently, you might not have received any notification. This was a bug inside elogd which I hope to have fixed now (this entry notification will show...). If you get the first notification and do not want this, log in to the ELOG Forum, click on "Config" and remove the checkmarks from the logbooks you do not want to get notifications.

Hi,

is it possible to create a new column on the main page? Between "Logbuch" and "Einträge" I need the new column for enter the IP from the servers.

Thanks for your help

Markus

You can use the "Comment = ..." option to add something below "Logbuch" like I did here:

 Hi,

I use the "Comment=..." option to add the OS-Version. For a better overview it would be nice to add a new column for IP.

If this is not possible I use the "Comment...= option.

It is currently not possible to have a new column. But you can add some <br> tags inside your comment, then you IP will show up on a new line after the OS-Version. 

 This is Ok but in wich file can i add this tag? In the .cfg-file?

Yes, this goes into the elogd.cfg file. Just add a line like:

[logbook]

Comment = OS-Version<br><i>192.160.0.1</i>

Then you will get something like this:

 Thanks, this is great.
