icon8.gif   Unformatted Appearance of Elog, posted by Greg Christian on Thu Mar 17 18:22:37 2022 Capture.PNG
I recently ported an elog over to a new server running Ubuntu 20.10. Everything is working okay, except sometimes I get a strange unformatted appearance
when I go to the elog page (see attachment). The happening of this seems random. For example, yesterday, when I started the elogd daemon everything looked
fine, but when I log in today I get the unformatted appearance. Also, yesterday when I was setting things up, sometimes certain logbooks would have the

In trying to fix this, I have re-downloaded the source from github rather than the source at http://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/tar/elog-latest.tar.gz,
which is apparently very different from what is on github. Now I am running ELOG V3.1.4-d828aa58

Hello all,

I just found elog which is a great piece  of software! I'm implementing it for use to log my shortwave listening contacts. The problem
that I have is I'm moving over a current log to elog which already has a date of when the record was created, which is important.I renamed the old

Use the configuration option

List display = Day, Station Type, Start time UTC, ...

as written in the documentation.

icon5.gif   Use different HTML class for drafts compared to not existing entries, posted by Edmund Hertle on Wed Mar 9 16:25:31 2022 
Right now a Draft shows a red error indication, that the entry is currently a draft. For the CSS styling it uses the HTML class="errormsg".
The same class is also used if an entry does not exist.

Would it be possible for the draft version to use a different HTML class (for example class="draftmsg")? It can also use the same visual

we had an elog with only one logbook and one password file,
we added a second logbook with a second password file and everything broke.

Hi Stefan,

I've seen that ELOG is build now with gcc-c++ now, so i tried to check rpmbuild script with all options. It seems that ldap api is different
with c++ (quick search : https://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200706/msg00177.html) and elogd can not been build anymore with ldap support.

For the record, compiler messages from elog tip of branch elog/master.

Most of the stuff is the usual same-old that we mostly fixed in midas:

Well, I bit the bullet and fixed all of these warnings. Took me like two days of work, but now should be fine. You might want to test it again. I only have
gcc 9.2.0, there it compiles now without warning.

I fixed these as well, please have a look again. BTW, midas had a few of these as well.

icon1.gif   ELOG problems with certificates, posted by Ezio Zanghellini on Thu Feb 10 19:03:56 2022 
Recently I have had problems with ELOG not accepting the certificates (in this case from https://letsencrypt.org/)
probably due to the old version of the SSL library of the binary distribution for Windows.
I have tried to follow the instructions to set up ELOG to work with Apache but they are probably old.
