Hello all,

I use ELOG for about 30 users, and I've listed their email adresses in the "login user" parameter, using the LDAP authentication.
As I had problems with the users from the end of the list (they couldn't log in the logbooks) I guessed that there is a max length for the string "login user" (or other parameter?). it seems to be a 1000 character limit.
How can I parameter this limit to another value? Is this value used for other parameters?

Thanks for your answer.

Dear Steve,

thanks a lot. Sorry but I am not expert of elog. I "inherited" from a colleague and wanted to see if I can keep it alive but to do it I would need to move to UTC. Should this command affect the "INSERT CURRENT TIME/DATE" button? It does not seem to change.

Best

How do you believe that you can preset a Submission item? Preset only works for attributes, so you have to define an attribute like "Submission UTC" or similar and preset this attribute with

Preset Submission UTC = $utcdate

My MacOS (10.12.2) elogd version V3.1.2 is a recent git commit (edc5e85), due to the fix to my earlier-described issue solved in the thread here: https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68519.

I am trying to (re-)set up Mirror functionality with a linux server running the standard public (V3.1.2-bd75964).  I had initially updated the linux server so that it also had the latest git commit (edc5e85), but could then not even add new logbook entries that involved attachments to it.  I therefore rolled the linux server back to the standard public 3.1.2 version.

On the remote Mac, synchronizations usually look like they are going to work fine, with Mirror simulate = 1 switched on.  After I set Mirror simulate = 0, and if the server and remote logbook are already identical, I *occasionally* get the proper "All Entries Identical" synchronization result.  Unfortunately, this is very rare, and usually there is a failure whereby the remote (Mac) logbook decides that a significant fraction of its entries (usually sequential, from some seemingly random entry all the way up to the last entry) are missing on the linux server and need to be submitted back to the server from the remote Mac.

When the local and remote logbooks are not identical, and a record in need of synchronization contains an attachment, there is again destructive behaviour similar to that described above, except that the Mac elogd executable usually crashes.  (As in the case of the already-identical synchronizations described above, I only tested this after observing the correct expected behaviour first with Mirror simulate = 1.)

I'd be grateful for some help/suggestions.  My current testing suggests that my problems are likely not elog-content dependent.  (The logbook now undergoing synching has less than 10 entries in it.)

More generally, the issue of having things behave fine with Mirror simulate = 1, but then experiencing corruption/damage when switching to Mirror simulate = 0 seems serious to me.

Many thanks, Andreas

ok, tnx! I will do the export and calculation with Excel

Dear all,

I am trying to have the elog timestamp in UTC time instead of local time using the following config file but without success. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Luca

No, calculations are not easily possible with elog. You can write some Javascript code to pull out all minutes, add them up and manipulate the DOM tree to show the results, but this requires some JavaScript knowlegde. Alternatively, export your table to a CSV file and do your calculations with a spreadhseet program.

hi forum,

my question, is it possible to add a custom menu entry (f.e. "Auswertung"). I will start a new php page and do some system code starting from the new page. I have attached a pic of my "Bereitschaftsdoku".

I have a filter for the week (KW1 2017). With this filer i display all my jobs for this week. At the end I have to count all minutes for class 583 (Tagesstunden) and class 586 (Sonn und Feiertage) and display the results.
