If the older elog has some customized file such as logbooks, elogd.cfg, elog.css, images and so on,  What's the best way to update elog to newer release? Is it the only way to copy these files to the new release?

If you look into the documentationa at:

http://midas.psi.ch/elog/adminguide.html#unix

you will see that for Linux (as well asl MacOS) you need the libssl-dev packaged to be installed. There are many ways to install this on MacOS, I personally use the MacPorts distribution:

Oops!

I think that I must have skipped straight to the MacOS notes instead of reading the linux section properly.

Thanks for the help,

Hello users,

When I configure an attribute with "Type <attribute>= date", in the new entry form a clic on the calendar symbol does nothing.

Reading the source code I see it's trying to open a window named "cal.html" through javascript (function opencal) but this file doesn't exist anywhere in source elog files.

Thanks

Just last week I've downloaded the latest version of ELOG, compiled and installed it, and the date picker just works fine.

In my case it was an update of an existing installation. Can you provide a bit more information about your case: I guess it was a first time installation? Was is ELOG V3.1.2-754330e or a different GIT version?

Stefan, could you please add an attribute of type "datetime" and "date" to one of the demo logbooks? Currently there is non. Maybe to elog:Database? Then we can check if it is a client problem.

Cheers, Andreas

I responded too quickly.

I already have openssl installed via macports (this is the "Mac version" of libssl-dev).

Does anyone know where exactly elog is looking for openssl/ssl.h? I have just updated Macports and upgraded to Sierra, so maybe it's been dumped it in a different location.
