hi:

  I have a problem with elog,   if there are many entrys, and i want to find  some useful  entries  which i preseted  before ,like entries with   , how can i configure the command ?

  so i can  find  what i want with

    please give me a help ,thx a lot!

I'm using ELOG version 2.7.3-2058 and have been trying to get FCKeditor to work. This, to my understanding from the documentation, is supposed to be a part of elog by default after version 2.7.0 and from looking at the configuration syntax manual, it looks as though FCKeditor should be on with the default settings. I done nothing to turn it off and none of the obvious fixes seem to do anything. I've posted the text of my configuration file below, what did I do wrong?

i've installed the debian package on my system

there's only one config file, /etc/elog.conf

i've tried to change the language, in [global] with Language = german,

then restarting the daemon,  but it doesn't work.

please help me, where can i change the default(all) language and which settings should i do.

Very simple: Click on "Find", select the icon, and click on "Search". Like if you do this for this Forum, it will produce an URL like:

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?Icon=icon14.gif

 i mean , is there a button that  when i push  it , then  it only shows  valuable   enties which i preset  before,   the button may  add  in the "List  |  New  |  Edit  |  Reply  |  Duplicate  |  Find  |  Config  |  Logout  |  Help"  

 is that   possible?  pls  show  the command. 

thank you for reply me!

I'm not maintainer of the Debian package, you should direct your question to Recai <roktas@omu.edu.tr> (in principle he should read this forum). If you start elogd manually with the strace command like:

strace -r -o tmp.log -e trace=open /usr/local/elog/elogd

and check in tmp.log from where elogd opens its elogd.cfg. Then change the appropriate elogd.cfg (NOT elog.conf). After you change it, you have to restart elogd.

in the trace is only one config file

     0.000103 open("/etc/elog.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
     0.000047 open("/etc/elog.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3

there's a bug in the debian package

     0.000033 open("resources/eloglang.german", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
     0.000264 open("/usr/share/elog/resources/eloglang.german", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

it's searching for the files in the wrong directory.

i've solved it with

#/usr/share/elog$ ln -s . resources

 We have configured several logbooks to allow users to duplicate an entry in another logbook, which is very useful for entries which apply to more than one category.

However, once the entry is duplicated, subsequent revisions to the original entry are not copied to the duplicate entries.

I can see where implementing that would add a lot of code to ELOG.  Rather than do that, would it be possible to add a configuration option to duplicate only the attributes, and place a link to the original entry in the body of the duplicated entry instead of the full text?
