Dear All
I can't uplode Attach file. It have Error

Thank you very much

Joe..

The problematic part is the "\" in the filename, which is not correctly recognized as a directory. I will fix this in the next release. For now, just click on the Browse button, navigate to d:\, and then select there the file aaa.doc.

Hi, I'm having the same problem, too, when attempting to upload an attachment.  I'm using version 2.7.3-2095.

I wasn't able to attach an image by clicking on the Browse button, clicking on the desired file, hitting the Open button, and then hitting the Upload button.  I just noticed that I could upload my error screen to this forum:

Thanks for any help you can provide.

For heightened security, we allow access to our ELOG installation from offsite through an apache proxy.  Therefore, the URL for our ELOG becomes http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/proxy/elog/ .  Everything seems to work properly with this setup except for the "reset password" utility.  When trying to reset ones password, the link sent in the "Password recovery" email becomes, for example:

http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/proxy/elog/ERL+W128/?redir=%3Fcmd%3DChange+password...

When using this link, the redirect redirects you to:

http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/ERL+W128/?cmd=Change%20password...

Which does not work.  Instead, the redirect should point to:

http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/proxy/elog/ERL+W128/?cmd=Change%20password...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum.

I currently have an attribute which is a list. From this drop down menu, I can only access around 100 options (ELog restriction I think). How can I extend my drop down list to say 200?

Example:

Attributes = RB

Options RB = a, b, c, ...,etc.

Thanks,

Paul

The number of 100 options is defined in elogd.c with

#define MAX_N_LIST  100

You could try to increase this to 200, but I have no idea if you will hit some other memory limit then. So what about conditional attributes? You subdivide your list into several smaller lists, like

Attributes = Category, RB

Options Category = Cat1{1}, Cat2{2}

{1}Options RB = a,b,c,d...

{2}Options RB = e,f,g,h,...

this is then also easier to handle, as compared to select a value from a very long list.

Attributes = Category, RB

Options Category = Cat1{1}, Cat2{2}

{1}Options RB = a,b,c,d...

{2}Options RB = e,f,g,h,...

this is then also easier to handle, as compared to select a value from a very long list.

Stefan,

Thanks for that advice. I have made that change to the elogd.c file, but the only problem I don't know how to compile Elog to make that change take effect. I did the stop and restart of the elog  service in windows, but that made no difference. How do I compile ELog? Sorry for my ignorance, but I am fairly new to Elog.

Attributes = Category, RB

Options Category = Cat1{1}, Cat2{2}

{1}Options RB = a,b,c,d...

{2}Options RB = e,f,g,h,...

this is then also easier to handle, as compared to select a value from a very long list.

You need a C compiler to compile Elog under Windows. If you don't have one, I would suggest to follow the advice to use conditional attributes. This does not require a recompilation of Elog.

I can get my hand on a C compiler. What the process involved?

 Sorry, but teaching you how to compile C programs is beyond the scope of this forum. Please buy a book for that. Most C compilers also comes with some decent documentation. You might try gcc under cygwin or Visual C++.

Stefan,

Thanks for your help. Will get back to you on how compiling the program went.

I'm sure this topic has been visited previously, but a search of this forum didn't show any results.

Is there are support or already proven method of encrypting the logfiles that Elog serves up?

thanks,

Bill

There is no native support for encryption inside ELOG, but you can use some external tool to achieve encryption. You can for example use TrueCrypt to mount a virtual encrypted drive, where you store your log files.

Have you tried the "RSS Title" option?

> Have you tried the RSS Title option?

doh ... thanks, works perfectly (well apart from the lost end-of-lines in the text portion)

I may have missed it when reading the logs, if so, sorry about that, but I would like to know if there is a way to set a field, let us call it "process run"  Ok let me give you some details on this.

a process run may have several "work orders" or sets of parts/items in it, so it will have several separate entries in the log  such as:

date##, run123, part 1, quantity, comment

date##, run123, part2, quantity, comment

date##, run123, part3, quantity, comment

date##, run123, part4, quantity, comment

I thought perhaps to have them use the reply function to add the other 3 items of the same run, and that would work if I could find a way to set 'process run' to auto increment, say perhaps, when the next 'New' entry was entered.  Is there something in place that can already do this?  If this is possible, I thought I would see if I can change the button for 'New' to something like 'New Run' and reply to 'Add Workorder' or something along that line so there is no confusion when entering the data.

Any suggestions you might provide are greatfully accepted.

Chuck

Ok, nevermind that one, Dumb Question I think, now that I have figured out that the field I was concerned with does not increment in a reply already.  So.. that only leaves my one question, is there somewhere that I can change the text, not the action, on the menu so that I can do a reply, but have the link list as something like "New Item".?

Unfortunately this is not possible at the moment.

it seems out systemlang is en_US,

#date
Thu Mar 27 14:11:59 CET 2008

and i want to change the local lang only for the elogd.

i tried it with .bash_profile in the elog homedir with

LANG=de_AT
export LANG

but it doesn't work.

how can i change it to get  ?

#date

thx

I investigated this and found that elogd itself does not use the locale properly, so I have to change the code. I will let you know when I fixed this problem.

thx

You do not have to change the environment variable, this is all handled inside elogd. I fixed teh above error in SVN revision 2098. Can you try it?

is there any new option i can use/configure ?

i still get the english datetime

Eingabezeit: Thu Mar 27 09:27:41 2008

As I told you, you have to upgrade to SVN revision 2098 or later.

i've updated to ELOG V2.7.3-2104

Well, then you should get German locale. I just tried with the same version and following elogd.cfg, so I don't know what you are doing wrong:

[global]
port = 8080
language = german

[demo]
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject

[global]
port = 8080
language = german

[demo]
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject

great, works now

thx a lot

i had to create de_DE locales,  we only use de_AT, this is for austria, where we live
