Stefan Ritt wrote:

Of course you can put a separate tile line each time you switch from "one" to "two", but that costs a lot of space. So how would you layout a listing where different attribute sets are mixed?

Well, in our case the changes would not be very frequent (if the beamtime goes smooth, we will have mainly
run-entries and few admin entries; if it is a hardware developement beamtime, we will have mainly admin
entries and fewer run entries). So, for us a layout with a new title line at the change between the two sets of attributes is ok.


Stefan Ritt wrote:

Well, the "theme" is a "resource". The manual says: Resource dir = <directory>: Specifies the root directory for ELOG resources like help files, themes, icons and user HTML files, so it's explicitly written there.

I see. I thought that the "hardcoded" default directory would still be searched -- my error.


Stefan Ritt wrote:

Which features do you mean? In your previous posting you mentioned a filter, but you found that already. So what else is left except the hiding of attributes?


Not much Wink. The only thing left was that the elogd redirects to the "URL="-address only after logging in, and not already after selecting a logbook in the selection page (i.e. before the password is transmitted), when a user calls directly the elogd port and not, say, the stunnel port defined to secure the connection. In our case this doesn't matter so much, but maybe to others it does ... ?

Thanks for the work

Yoshio

You're right. I don't know what I've tested this afternoon Wink
Without the fixed font the text might get very small, if the line is too long.
I think we'll set 'message width' = 76.

Thanks a lot Stefan!

I hope you can help me Stefan.
The problem that I am having is when someone request a account on elog I received e-mail message to activate there account. I click on the link from my e-mail to activate the account it takes me to the logon page. I log on and then I get a massage that the web does not exist.
What I found out was the elog Damon stops, and I have to restart it and everything work fine.
Here is a copy of me Elog config.

Also can you tell me how you set up the Subtext and the Show new entry buttons on the main page of the elog.

Thank for your help


I tried with the current version and could not reproduce your problem. Can you try to increase the login expiration like Login expiration = 240 for ten days. If you then click to activate an account and you have been logged in less than ten days ago, you will not be asked to logon. Does the problem then still occur?

There is still some unfinished code in the HTML email notification. I guess it will take me still some weeks to
finish that, since I'm pretty busy these days...

No the problem does not occur when I am still log on.

I need some more information. Can you send me your elogd.cfg, and show 
me the URLs your browser displays during your navigation?

This is because elog does not support "https" through secure socket layers (SSL). Also elogd does not, that's why you use Apache as your proxy. So the only way for you to use elog is to execute it on the server, where it can directly connect to elogd without going through the ssl layer of Apache.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your advice. As you say I can add entries using elog to my logbooks if I do it from the server on which elogd runs, in which case ssl and apache are bypassed:

$ elog -h localhost -p 8080 ...

Thanks once again for your excellent software!
