Sorry to bother you with such a simple question, but I am not an IT professional. We just received word that our IT department has plans to update our system to Windows 10 in 2018. Was wondering if our current version of ELOG was compatable with Windows 10? Thank You Very Much For Your Help.

Hello,

Trying to color an entry log when 2 conditions are met. Tried 

Style Result Hired and Administration NOK = background-color:red

where Result and Administration are Attributes.  Anyone?

thanks for your quick reply.

the configuration is still not working.  See my entry below which denies everyone.

I've tried many different combinations of 'hosts allow and hosts deny'

we want to restrict all our logbooks to only domain lbl.gov

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
Hosts deny = ALL

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts deny = ALL

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
 

Can you help?

Hi Susan,

• Hosts allow = <list>
• Hosts deny = <list>

These two settings can be used to restrict the access to the logbook to certain computers. It is similar to the UNIX hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. The list can consist of individual host names or IP numbers, subnet masks like 123.213. (note the trailing '.') or .mit.edu, or the word All. The following rules are applied:

• Access will be granted when a host matches a pattern in "hosts allow".
• Otherwise, access will be denied when a host matches a pattern in "hosts deny".
• Otherwise, access will be granted.

These rules are applied before any password is checked. To debug problems, start elogd with the "-v" flag, in which case the rule checking is printed on the screen.

I'm trying to wrap our elog instance to our company domain which is lbl.gov

I add this entry below (without quotes) to elogd.cfg and it's not working.  the world can see our logbooks

" Hosts Allow = *.lbl.gov ".

can someone help?

Hi,

after ubuntu 16 system upgrade, elog version (3.1.1-1-1) on firefox version 56.0+build6-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 , the drop-down menus (Styles, Font, Size, etc) don't work anymore.

How can I fix it?

Many thanks!

Sara

Hi Stefano,
I've tested it: it does not work.
Neither in edit nor in list view the HTML encoded characters show correctly.
Only in the "Quick filter" menu they show as they should!
But then selecting them in the quick filter will not find any entries :-(

So the short answer: 
avoid characters with a special meaning for regular-expressions in attribute values, in particular if you want to use quick filters.

Cheers
Andreas
