Just my 2 cents:

There is a hardcoded limit how many entries the Option list can have. Without looking into the source, I assume the limit also exists for MOptions.
If you want more, you have to recompile elog with the changed limit.

We have used the normal Options attribute and a "Execute new"-script to alter the elog config for the Options list: to sort the list (5 last used entries on top, the rest alphabetical) and remove very old entries, which are not needed any more.
Remark: if you change the elog.cfg, you have to tell elog to reload the cfg. e.g. using "killall -HUP elogd".

Alternatively, you can add javascript code via a html file and the attributes "Top text" or "Bottom text" to manipulate the input fields on the client side.

Both ways are a little bit hacky, but they work.
Best wishes,
Sebastian

Just to add some points for others who may find this of use in future.

The hard coded number of entries options or Moptions can have is 100.  You can edit the code and recompile, but that would
not gain you many more before other problems concerning memory come in.

Options allow you to only select one from the list; Moptions allow multiple selections from the list.

As mentioned by Sebastian (previous poster) and  in my suggestion. I imagined that by Wafer 1060 (say), no new work would be 
being done on wafers 1001, ... 1010, so you could edit the config file and remove those (M)options.  It does not remove these 
wafer IDs from past records, simply that they can no longer be selected for new work to be recorded.    In that way the 
Moptions list remains short but allows for hundreds or thousands of WaferIDs,  ON THE ASSUMPTION that say only 50 (and certainly 
less than 100) are being worked on at any one time.

The numbers I chose here were random, it's more to highlight the principle rather than a prescription.

Hi,

is it possible to change the name ELOG from all HTML titles.

E.g. find/search. If you click on find/search the browser/html tag/title is 'ELOG search'. Is it possible to change this to 'xxx search' and how.

You can change the title for the standard page with 'Page title = ...' and for the list page with 'List Page title = ...', but unfortunately not for all pages (such as the search mask).

Stefan

You would have to access the raw elgo database files (which are pure ASCII files) and write some script which goes through all files and changes the URLs. 

Stefan

Thanks!

Hi!

Tryed windows an linux version. On booth the "Register new User" dialog is not displaying a password line.
so what password is used for the new user? Further the user can't change his password, because he didn't know the old one.

And if an admin user trys to change the password of an other user, a error is displyed that the old password of the admin user is
wrong and nothing happens with the password of the non-admin user.

elog console (admin user awrzkrz changes the password of testuser1):

GET /demo/?cmd=Config&config=TestUser1&cfgpage=1&admin=1&cfg_user=TestUser1&active=1&new_user_name=TestUser1&new_full_name=TEST+User&new_user_email=test%40heaven.org&cmd=Change+password HTTP/1.1
Returned 1032 bytes
GET /demo/?config=TestUser1&newpwd=test1234&newpwd2=test1234 HTTP/1.1
Returned 20 bytes
GET /demo/?cmd=Change%20password&config=awrzkrz&fail=1 HTTP/1.1
Returned 1215 bytes
 

Thanks for help!

Have you configures user-level access via

password file = anyfile.pwd

Can your elogd server write to that file?

If yes, can you please post your config file?

Stefan
