icon5.gif   Naming a Notebook KTAG Wipes Out Formatting. Why?, posted by Phil Rubin on Sat May 22 20:44:33 2021 
An experiment's ELOG installation, using the default theme, names logbooks after its subsystem's acronyms.  One subsystem is referred to
as KTAG, but when this name (or its lowercase version) is used for a logbook name, the logbook appears unformatted.  Changing the name, even to K-TAG,
works fine.  Nothing close to KTAG appears in elog.css.  Does anyone know why this happens and whether it is possible or worth the while to get

Running elog-3.1.4-3 Can't add users through the web interface. Clicking add user and writing all the fields in with something doesn't add
a user into the PWD file of that logbook. Running a tail -f on the password file shows elog writes the user info with the hashed password 3 times and then
deletes the information about 20 seconds later. Has anyone else had a similar issue? This is running on RHEL8.3
icon1.gif   Bug: "Append on edit" triggers too often, posted by Faith on Tue May 4 14:45:47 2021 
The command "Append on edit = " is getting executed everytime, when a dropdown menu is changed. This happens even at the first creation of
an entry, so the append text stucks up multiple times in the text body.

I can confirm the issue also for "prepend on edit".
To be more precise, it gets executed everytime the condition state changes, if placed in the config without condition, or if placed in a condition,
everytime the condition gets activated.
icon5.gif   Real-time mirroring?, posted by Frank Baptista on Mon Apr 26 15:40:36 2021 
Hello!

We have a number of local ELOG servers, all mirrored to a single "remote" ELOG server.  We have users that create updates at the

Hello Frank,

It seems, you are using the mirror function of elog. It should resolve conflicts by itself acording to the documented rules. (https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html)
As I don't use this function, I can't say how good it works.

Hi Sebatian,

Thank you for taking the time to answer...very much appreciated!

Hi Frank,

I am not sure, if I understood your setup correctly. But in my eyes, you don't need the local elog servers. The only difference for
the users at the chambers would be to directly use the 'mirror' remote elog url instead of the local elog url in their browsers. "which

Hi Sebastian,

You're absolutely correct that the users at the chambers could directly use the remote ELOG server (without having a local server),
and I did originally think about this.  Unfortunately, there are times that our network "goes down" (for maintenance and other issues),

I would like to know, if the command "Admin restrict edit time = " does really work as intended.

In my case I have the following global configuration:

Hi Mr. Holman,

The problem you are facing is more likely the issue, that the LDAP method is only provided as-is from a different developer.

I had a similar issue with the LDAP of my university.

Well, if you find a solution with works for everybody, I'm happy to commit it to the main repository. But unfortunately I cannot test it because
I don't have LDAP here, so I'm flying blind.

Hi,

Maybe it could be useful to add new parameters in elogd.cfg to define the attribute name to use to retrieve the given name, login name and email
from LDAP server.

Dear Mr Ritt, Mr Schenk,

Thank you for the responses.  This was indeed my issue and direction to fix the crash.

Thank you,

Dear experts,

I am trying to use ELOG for my projects which we want to record every daily activities.

Dear Hien,

your problem is more general the question, how to get the elog to the network.

Thank you very much for the instruction.

Hello Hien,

If you are sharing ELOG with users on the same network, here's something you can try.  First, on the machine running ELOG, you need
to find the "Computer name".   To do this, locate "This PC", and right click it to get to "Properties" in
