Is there (planned) support for <A NAME> and <HR /> in ELCODE?, posted by Kevin McCarty on Thu Apr 26 16:43:45 2007

Hello,

I am wondering if there is any support (or if not, if it is planned) for inserting HTML <a name> and <hr /> tags via ELCODE. This would be useful for long log messages in order to provide a table of contents and divide them into clear sections. If this support already exists, I'm afraid it is not obvious to me how to access it in ELCODE. If it does not yet exist, would you consider a patch for it?

As a related issue, to support <a name> usefully, it will also be necessary for ELCODE to support things like [url=#tag], which it currently converts to <a href = "http:///#tag"> instead the expected result of <a href = "#tag">.

(Please send me replies also by email at kmccarty AT princeton DOT edu, as I don't check this forum often.)

Thanks for writing ELOG; our group has been using it very productively on our server for the last few weeks.

best regards,

-- Kevin McCarty

Very good idea. The horizontal line

is already implemented via [LINE] and the anchor tag will soon follow.

I implemented anchor tags. You can write something like

[ANCHOR]top[/ANCHOR]

and you can then reference it either by directly entering

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/2223#top

or by entering simply

elog:2223#top

To make your table of contents, you can put a complete URL tag like

[URL=http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/2223#top]Goto top[/URL]

or inside the same entry simply

[URL=#top]Goto top[/URL]

which will be shown as

Goto top

I have added these link again at the bottom of this entry so you can try it with this entry directly.

Sorting by column title problem, posted by George Chisholm on Thu Apr 26 22:26:04 2007

Hi,

I am implementing ELOG for our Gas Control Centre.
Log entries sort ok when I click the ID or Date column title but not my custom attributes column headers???
Any suggestions?
Where do we send donations?

Best Regards and thanks for writing this very useful app.

George

Indeed that was a bug, thanks for reporting it. I fixed it in the intermediate release which you can download at

sort attributs, posted by deletoille on Wed Mar 14 11:55:54 2007

hello,
For 1 event, I need the date and the hour of this one. An event can be enter in elog several days after this one. The problem is that I do not manage to carry out one sorts on these two attibuts. I tested the order “? rsort” but this one works only on one entry not out of 2 at the same time (? rsort=Heure+evenement, Date+evenement&mode=threaded)
have an easy way?
Thank you very much

Yepp. Since you can only sort on a single attribute, you combine time and date into one. This can be done like following:

Attributes = Icone, Type def fiche, ..., Evenement
Type Evenement = datetime

Now you can not only sort on Evenement, but you get also a date picker for that attribute in the entry form. To format the way Evenement is displayed, use the Time format option.

thanks, It works but the order "?sort" seems to works only in summary view (attachment 1) and not in threaded (attachement 2) view.
Any idea?

Two ideas. First, you have following URL:

.../page?rsort=Date+Evenement

but your attribute is "Evenement" (without "Date"). Can you check that?

Second: In threaded mode, only the "thread heads" are sorted. If an entry has one or more replies, it does not make sense to tear apart these replies because of sorting, so threads are always kept together, independent of their attributes.

"Guest menu commands" not changing the menu line, posted by Steve Jones on Wed Mar 28 21:00:17 2007

I tried adding the lines below to my Global section, and while Guest access is turned on the menu line does not change. I tried searching SVN change logs for a comment regarding any 'guest' bugs but found nothing. Was this a problem at some point and fixed? I noticed that the Midas site is running 2.6.4-1814 and the guest menus work! Am I doing something wrong or was this a problem in the past?

Thanks!

Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help
Guest List Menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help

Ok, well, I built version 2.6.4-1795 and I have the same issue -- Guest menus do not show up when added to my configuration.

Suggestions on where to look? Start from scratch?

I can't remember any problem of that type.

Might not be a bad idea. Use the little config file from the distribution, then just add the guest menu lines, and try it. If it works, modify it gradually until it equals to your full config file, to see where the problem is. Stupid quiestion: After you added your guest menu, did you log out to become a "guest"? If you are logged in with your user name (stored in a cookie), you never will see the guest menu.

To answer your last question - yes, i logged out and the menu line never changed. I even put it into debug mode but the output reflects exactly what I see -- a non-changing menu line. I'll start with the simple config and see what happens.

BTW, WebSVN no longer provides a means of downloading a tar of your code trunk. I had to go to http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/tar/ in order to get your 2.6.4-1 revision.

Ok, here is what I found. Apparently in the past there was a "Find Menu Commands = " option? Because I had this in my config and elog was not barfing on it being there. So, I changed the word "Find" with "List" and things seems to now work. Stefan, was there an old command called "Find Menu Commands"?

No. You need some basic knowledge to run elog. Without this knowledge, it's better if you use some other package.

HOW TO change http://localhost:8080/ to an address where users can access?, posted by marion on Tue Apr 10 04:03:59 2007

hi folks

thankyou for your time
have read the user docs
and admin docs
and faqs
i used the latest windows installer to have the script runner as a server on windows

BTW i have been looking for over 3 years for this sort of thing - so i had given up for the i would say, i have looked at over 120 scripts and progs for possibilites - could this really be it?

i have managed to make another logfile using the config example
from stev ritt accelerator logbook
with a slight variation (changed file attached)as i could not make the original work for me as i do not know what i am doing.

i placed this in the demo config, underneath the code that was already there ie

Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type

I REPLACED BELOW CODE

; use user level password access
Password file = passwd
Login expiration = 1000
Admin user = ritt
Self register = 1

WITH THIS CODE
; use user level password access
Password file = XXXXXX
Login expiration = 1000
Admin user = XXXXXX
Self register = 1
==============================================
MY QUESTION:

HOW do i change the automated address http://localhost:8080/ to an address where users can access?
or do i tell them the address is http://localhost:8080/ - somehow i think that is not going to work for them even though it does for me.

my address is
http://organicparents.org

If you run elog on the machine which has the internet address organicparents.org, then you will be able to access elog under http://organicparents.org:8080, given that your firewall allows this access from outside.

Where is your website? If it's hosted at a company, it's probably impossible to run elog there, since they only allow PHP scripts etc.
