Losing field 'focus' when using Conditional Attributes, posted by Steve Jones on Tue May 30 17:54:21 2006
|
Stefan, any way to address this? It appears to only be applicable when one defines conditional Options - when javascript updates the conditional lists the input focus appears to shift to the HTML edit area. I am still running ELOG V2.6.1-1681 and this is under Windows (my test system).
With version 2.6.1 rev 1681 I believe this is when I started seeing the behavior such that when a conditional attribute value is selected the focus switches to the message entry window. It looks like when the javascript cond_submit() is called for some reason on returning focus defaults to the message window. This occurs under Windows (rev 1861) and Solaris (rev 1864). I can see in function chkform() that focus is returned for checking Required attributes, but I see nothing for conditional attributes.
Thanks |

It was some new code used for inline images. If you upload an inline image, an extra window opens which lets you select the image file. After that operation, you want to have the focus back at the text box. Unfortunately this also happened now after the JavaScript update of conditional attributes. I fixed that in the new version 2.6.1-6. |

Hosts Allow and Password File, posted by Jeremy Perkins on Wed Jun 21 18:36:06 2006
|
| I'm trying to set up an elog that uses a password file using the "Password file = /blah" directive as well as the "Hosts allow = myhost.mydomain" directive. I used the -v command and watched the messages and elogd is recognizing that I am connecting from an allowed host but the login page is still appearing. Is there a way to use both of these? |

You misunderstand something. The "Password file = ..." statement turns on user level access, that means each user has to log in and identify himself this way in a unique way (so that you know who wore a certain logbook entry etc.). This has nothing to do with the "Hosts allow/deny" statements, which works separately. So if you combine "hosts allow" with "password file", this means that only users from the password file can log in from certain hists, but they still have to identify themselves with their username and password. If you want to log into a logbook without supplying a password from certain hosts, then you remove the "password file" statement. But then anyone from that host can write logbook entries, so you loose the user identification. |

Hi There,
When you find a set of records in ELOG and then 'click through' the returned list it runs through then in order of ID. - I s there a way to modify this behaviour?
Many Thanks

Display legal banner, posted by Ed To on Wed May 24 08:22:36 2006

Hi,
I read somewhere that javascript is supported with elog. For legal reasons, I have to post a legal banner before the login prompt. Can you tell me how to do this? I'm not a programmer, but I guess I could use the javascript alert command to do this. What file would I need to change?
Thank you for your help.

Unfortunately it was not possible to do that for the login page, so I had to add a new option Bottom text login which I implemented just now. You can now indeed use the alert command to do what you want, like
in elog.cfg:
Bottom text login = alert.html
and in alert.html:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
alert("Hello world");
//-->
</script>
or whatever legal statement you have to make.
The new version can be downloaded as elog261-5.exe from the home page. |

Wow, I wasn't expecting that quick of a response. Thanks Stefan. BTW, I really like elog. It's simple to setup and use. Keep up the good work. |

Linking two sets of logbooks, posted by Alan Stone on Wed May 17 23:39:23 2006
|
I would like to link the CMSROC ELOG at Fermilab:
http://nippon.fnal.gov:8081/
with the CMS ELOG at CERN:
https://cmsdaq.cern.ch/elog/
I am the administrator of the former. I want to keep the CMSROC logbook content
local, but I would like to make a link to the CMS CERN logbook visible from
http://nippon.fnal.gov:8081/
and ideally to have it show up as a tab from any sub-page.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Linking two sets of logbooks, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu May 18 08:08:25 2006

You can achieve that with the top text option, which lets you define some HTML code visible at every ELOG page. Just create a file, let's call it top.html, and put in following contents:
<table class="frame" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td class="tabs">
<span class="sltab"><a href="https://cmsdaq.cern.ch/elog/" title="CMS ELOG at CERN">CMSDAQ</a></span>
</td></tr>
</table>
Then put following statement into your elogd.cfg:
Top text = top.html
That should do the job. |

Email notification question, posted by Kevin McCarty on Wed May 10 16:14:00 2006
|
Hello,
I've just set up an ELog server for my research group. (Running on Debian, package version 2.6.1+r1642-1)
I have a question about the email notifications. I read through the config file documentation, but couldn't find the answer (maybe I am just unobservant\?) Is it possible to have the email notifications contain only the title of the log entry (as well as the usual attributes), but not the full text or any attachments? I have users who are worried about their email going over quota from ELog's emails, but who nevertheless would like some kind of notification when new log entries are posted.
Thanks in advance! |

Feature request - site-specific ELCode markup definitions, posted by Kevin McCarty on Wed May 10 16:30:45 2006
|
Hi,
Here's a suggestion that you may or may not want to apply. It would be nice if there existed a config file (or a syntax in the existing elog.cfg file) that permitted sites to define their own ELCode patterns.
Let me give you a usage case. I thought it would be nice to have LaTeX expressions show up automatically on my group's ELog installation if they entered them like this: [math]x^2 + y^2 = r_0^2[/math] So in the source code file elogd.c, I hacked in the following additions to the definition of pattern_list[]:
{"[math]", "<img src = \"http://borex.princeton.edu/mimetex?"},
{"[/math]", "\" border = \"0\" align = \"absmiddle\" />"},
and recompiled ELog.
What this does is convert the LaTeX expression into a URL that uses the "mimetex" CGI program installed on my server to output a GIF file of the equation. So my users can have inline math expressions in their log entries, like this:  . Obviously this is far too site-specific to be added to the official ELog code (unless you want to embed mimetex code into the server, which I kind of doubt  ). But it would be nice if I could specify these patterns in a config file without having to edit the source code and recompile each time I want to install a new ELog version!
Presumably others could find a use for site-specific ELCode markup too (logos, custom smilies, etc.)
Thanks for your time. |
