Just upgraded to v2.7.4 and really like the new editor but I need to be able to browse for the correct file when inserting a hyperlink. I looked into CKfinder but can't see how to use this with ELOG. Can anyone help? We have been using ELOG in our control center for about a year and it is working out great!

CKfinder is a tool to browse the server, not the client where the web browser is running if I understand correctly. ELOG only supports attachment and inline images residing on the client side, so you browse with the file selector of your web browser. Or did I understand you incorrectly? |

Thanks for the reply Stefan and thanks for making this program available - where can we send a donation?
When I click 'InsertLink' in the FCKeditor I get an 'Explorer User Promp' popup asking me to enter the name of the hyperlink. After I enter the name I get 'Enter URL of hyperlink'. Typically I want to link to a file on a mapped drive but I would prefer to browse to the file location and select the file rather than type it in.

You can donate here by clicking the donate link at the ELOG page.
If you want to attach a file from a mapped drive you click on the "Browse..." button at the bottom of the ELOG page:

Ok, now I got the point. I fixed this problem in elog revision #2114. Quick filters are now working with icons:

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Linux | 2.7.4 | Re: Sorting Museremail |
| Steve Williamson wrote: |
|
We use elog for (amongst other things) a simple change management log. About two dozen users allowed to do updates and their email addresses are listed at the bottom of the page to allow any of them to be included on circulation for a change request. The email addresses appear in the order that they were added (i.e. apparently random). Is there any way to sort these, ideally by Last part of Full Name/First part of Full Name, but login name or email address would be OK?
|
Ok, I added sorting for "museremail" and "muserlist" type of attributes. Sorting is simply done by sorting the email addresses and first part of full name, respectively. The change is implemented in SVN revision #2115. |

Hi there. Just started recently set up the application and think its very usable and easily configured - great stuff 
I'm looking to roll it out to the masses but have a slight logistical problem in that we work on 2 separate networks - NET1 with connection to the internet, and NET2 physically isolated from NET1 and the internet.
It would be desirable to allow users to add/update/delete logs from both NET1 and NET2 with periodic synchronisation.
I believe the mirroring facility is what should be used, and think the following setup and synchronisation steps may be workable:
Setup:
- elog installed on node of NET1
- elog installed on 2 nodes of NET2
- elog server running on NET1 and node1 of NET2 both using a common elogd.cfg
Performing Synchronisation:
- Stop the server on NET1
- copy logbook directories from NET1 to node2 of NET2
- start server on node2 of NET2 using the -M option
- once above complete, copy logbook directories from node 2 NET2 to NET1
- Start the server on NET1
Am I on the right track?
Would very much appreciate comments and and advice on the above.

A couple of comments:
- In principle you could use one elogd.cfg for two running daemons, but only if they do not modify the file. If you use "extensible attributes" for example, you would have write access. If this happens from both servers at the same time, the config file can get corrupt. This is even more true with a password file, which gets written every time a users accesses a page. If you only run one server at a time, then they can share the config file of course.
- The synchronization works bi-directional between two elog daemons. Requirement is that they have access to each other. The synchronization master acts like a "browser" to the slave to send/retrieve entries. So if you can affort punching a hole into your firewall between NET1 and NET2, you could synchronize two servers directly and don't have to bother with three servers. If you have however really physically separated nets, such that you need a memory stick to transport data from one net to the other, then indeed you need the above described scenario. I never tried it in this way, but in principle it should work.

Hi, I would like to preset an attribute type useremail with $user_email but that does not work because $user_email contains mailto: like mailto:user_email@domain
Has anyone an idea how to resolve this problem?
Type Reporter = useremail
Preset Reporter = $user_email

This was a bug. I fixed it in SVN revision 2118. |

| Kevin O'Sullivan wrote: |

I get the following error where thumbnails should go: Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation.
I restarted elog and check the log, it does in fact detect ImageMagick and it does have the most recent version. I'm running ubuntu 2.6.24-19-server. Is there something else I should be checking?

Try the following:
- Put logfile = elog.log into your elogd.cfg
- Upload an image to get the error
- Examine your elog.log file
You should get something like:
23-Jul-2008 15:10:38 [] Server listening on port 8080 ..
23-Jul-2008 15:10:52 [stefan@127.0.0.1] {demo} SHELL "convert "logbooks\demo\080723_151052_Capture.png" "logbooks\demo\080723_151052_Capture.png.png""
In your logfile. Now try the "convert" command manually under the same account elogd is running. Possible reasons for problems are:
- The "convert" command is not in your path or links to another program. Unfortunately ImageMagick chose a pretty standard name for this program
- The account under which elogd is running does not have write access to the logbook directory
- converts wants to call ghostscript for PDF conversion, but it is not installed
- ...
