Is there a way to do that ? |
That kind of functionality is unfortunately not implemented. All you can do is to use an automatically generated unique attribute with the syntax:
Preset <attribute> = XYZ-####
or similar. Please consult the documentation for details. |

In that case it might help to run elog under your personal account. |
I finaly found how to do it.
Replacing Z: by \\server.com\ELOG\ and running the service with my personnal acount
cmd /K net stop elogd
regedit
change ImagePath of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\elogd to "\\server.com\ELOG\elogd.exe" -D -c "\\server.com\ELOG\elogd.cfg"
close regedit
cmd /k net start elogd |
Boolean, posted by Grant Jeffcote on Fri Aug 3 15:49:05 2007

Stefan,
I've noticed in the latest release when using the 'Find' page that any boolean expression (tick box) is now shown as '0,1 or unspecified'. Is this intentional? My colleagues are finding it hard to get their heads around what to choose and preferred the old 'Tick Box' option. Have there been changes to the configuration arguments used for Boolean that I've missed?
Thanks |

Well, maybe you didn't realize, but searching for boolean attributes never really worked. If you want to search for entries where a boolean is true (or 1), then you could check the tick box in the past. But if you wanted to search for all entries were an attribute was false (not true) you could not do it, because the system assumed you are not interested in an attribute if the tick box was not checked. With the new way, you could either specify 'unspecified' meaning you are not filtering on this attribute, or you can explicitly specify '0', to look for entries where the attribute is false. The best would be to have a three-state tick box, which can be on/off/grayed. Under Windows API this does exist, but not in HTML. So I had to go with the three radio buttons.
Now one could argue how to name boolean states. There are several options:
- 0 / 1
- no / yes
- false / true
- off /on
I have chosen the first one, but that's kind of arbitrary. If the community believes that another one is better, I'm willing to change. |

Thanks for the great explanation.
What are the chances of having a choice of the four options (as mentioned in your list) somehow so that when boolean-x is used (for example) in the configuration file the applicable option text is shown in the 'Find' page?
ie.
boolean-x = 0/1
boolean-y = no / yes
boolean-z = false / true
etc.
A long shot perhaps but don't know until you ask? 
Thanks |

If several people will ask for it, I will put it in. |

Hello there !!
I wonder if it's possible to write an url like this[URL=?CR=CR00000429]CR00000429[/URL]
in fact it don't work for the moment , because it is redirected tu http:///?CR=CR00000429
is it possible to have url without http://
I have a logbook CR and a type CR and i work now in localhost but i want my elog to be accessible from anywhere.
Im not very clear but I hope you understand.

Synchronization Problems, posted by Nicole Ackerman on Wed Sep 5 01:09:00 2007

I'm currently running elog 2.6.5 on my (feisty ubuntu) laptop and desktop. I set up mirroring between the two which usually works, but occasionally I get an error (when sending from laptop to desktop) :
"Enty too long to display. Please increase TEXT_SIZE and recompile elogd."
When this happens my entry is shortened to 3 characters. This is frustrating as I have lost many important entries. I'm unsure why this is happening - they aren't the longest entries in my logbook (one was a one line linux command) and there doesn't seem to be anything "special" about the ones that do and do not sync. The last time I tried to sync I got this error on 3 entries and they appear to be corrupted - when I try to access them elogd stops responding.
On a presumably related note, every time I try to send an entry from my laptop to my desktop I get "Error sending local entry: Error transmitting message", though the entry has appeared to sync properly. I don't think I have ever had a problem transmitting from my desktop to my laptop.
Currently the only mirroring option I have added to my config file in on my laptop which is the IP of my desktop as the Mirror server.
I'm unsure what else I could post to help troubleshoot this problem - is it just something I've done wrong or that could be fixed with a reinstall?
Thanks!
