Dear Stefan,

First of all, I appreciate that you made such a nice program. I've used elog for more than 5 years and it was wonderful experince to me and my research work was very productive with this.

I have a suggestion to you to improve this while I was using elog. If users can add texts or comments for each attachment, it will be great.

I am not sure if someone was already suggested this or it is already in your wish list.

Thank you.

Dear Dongwook,

no, this is not implemented and also was never requested. The way most people work is that images are included directly in the text, and the the text goes along with that.

So for example if I want to show you the ELOG logo, I put it here:  

If I want to add a comment for an attachment, I write it in the text and just refence the attachment with link. This way is more flexible that adding just a line of text to each attachment, since you can write several lines in the text, make a table etc. etc.

Dear Stefan,

Maybe I used elog with very inefficient way so far. The way you suggested requires putting figures somewhere else, right?

Elog saves attachments on the machine that elog is running. I want to store figures in elog.

The logo you showed above is stored in this entry?

Thank you.

If you embed an image (via the "insert image" button in the task bar) this image is stored as an attachment, but the actualy attachment is hidden and the image is shown in-line. Yes, it is stored on the server where elogd runs. 

Hi Stephan,

How can I delete / hide the Elog Icon

and Labels like ELOG V2.7.5-2175 ?

Thanks,

Michael

 Sorry,

found it:

Bottom text = <center>Hello</center>
Bottom text login = <center>Login Hello</center>

I have a really odd issue with elog...

My setup:

elogd.cfg:
[global]
port = 2109
SMTP host = localhost
Resource dir = /usr/share/elog
Logbook dir = /srv/www/elog
charset = UTF-8
Main Tab = main
URL = https://elog.codemages.net
Relative redirection = 1
Usr = www
Grp = www
Resolve host names = 0
Self register = 0 
Admin user = ruskie
SSL = 0
Login expiration = 20

[links]
Subdir = links
Theme = default
Comment = Link spam
Attributes = Author, Category, Link, Comment
Options Category = General, Law, IT, Odds, Linux
Required Attributes = Link, Comment
Page Title = ELOG - Link spam
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Category
Time format = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M
Date format = %Y-%m-%d
Password file = links.pwd
Admin user = ruskie
RSS Title = $logbook $entry time :$Author :$Link :$Comment

[notes]
Subdir = notes
Theme = default
Comment = Various notes
Attributes = Category, Comment
Options Category = General, Law, IT, Odds, Linux
Required Attributes = Comment
Page Title = ELOG - Various notes
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Category
Time format = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M
Date format = %Y-%m-%d
Password file = notes.pwd
Admin user = ruskie
RSS Title = $logbook $entry time :$Comment


lighttpd.conf:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "elog.*" {
  proxy.server = ( "" =>
                   ( "10.0.0.10" =>
                     (
                       "host" => "10.0.0.10",
                       "port" => 2109
                     )
                   )
                 )

}

If I access elog directly on 2109 I get no issues but when I use this configuration it takes minutes to access
any elog page at all. But the odd thing is this only happens when I'm using a gecko based browser(firefox,
xulrunner based etc...) if I use webkit-gtk or elinks all the pages load up with no noticable delay.

I have tried this on different computers, different configurations and so on... And always the same behaviour
when it comes to a gecko based browser. Elinks and webkit-gtk load up fine.

Marking this as Other so far. If anyone knows anything about running elog and lighttpd togheter please speak up.

Hello,

Please could you help me.

We have 2 elog servers synchronized every minute via Elog mirroring function.

2 or 3 times a week, the slave crashes and we have to restart Elogd. I have found in /var/log/messages the same message every time elogd crash :

xmalloc: not enough memory

Thanks.

Hi,

Is there a way perhaps of implementing an email recall feature into E-Log? In other words, to recall an email before the recipient (s) read the email originating from the e-log. Something perhaps along the lines of what exists in something like Outlook.

Thks in advance.

Regards,

Niall

No, this is not implemented. What I usually do is to check "Suppress Email notification", submit and revise my entry. Once I'm satisfied, I edit again and do not check "Suppress Email notification" so that the email is finally sent out.

Hello,

I have installed the latest elog version from your web site.

My Admin user and my Login user are set in the elog.cfg to use the Self register process within the first login.

The issue is that I get only one time access to my log on the server (XP) and that is direct after the Selfregister process.

If I log out and login to test my admin and user account I will not get access to my server anymore.

My login page stays without any error message.

1 Notebook  XP Client internet explorer http://host ip:8080/demo------> 2nd Notebook XP Server

I have the deleted the cookies after each try.

I have retested later the accounts several times (login/logout) successful with the internet explorer http://host ip:8080/ on the server itself.

 Please could you help me to identify the issue?

Great, you found it! The original problem is probably related to your cookie handling. If you don't check the "keep me logged it" box, elog generates a temporary cookie, which is used for the duration of your browser session, then the browser discards it. If you theck the box, a persistent cookie is created, which your browser stores in the cookie database and reuses it for the coming 41 days. I believe you have a problem there (persistent cookies not allowed, disk full, whatever...) which does not allow handling of persistent cookies. Try from anohter browser/computer and you will see that it works.

Hi,

I'm curious is it possible to send email notificaitons from elog through an smtp server that requires SSL/TLS authentication? I think it's not but I thought I'd ask.

ps. sorry for the initial blank post...

This is currently not implemented and will probably not implemented in the next time, but it's on my (very long) to-do list.
