Hello everyone, I am new to the forum.

I currently have an attribute which is a list. From this drop down menu, I can only access around 100 options (ELog restriction I think). How can I extend my drop down list to say 200?

Example:

Attributes = RB

Options RB = a, b, c, ...,etc.

The number of 100 options is defined in elogd.c with

#define MAX_N_LIST  100

You could try to increase this to 200, but I have no idea if you will hit some other memory limit then. So what about conditional attributes? You subdivide your list into several smaller lists, like

Attributes = Category, RB

Options Category = Cat1{1}, Cat2{2}

{1}Options RB = a,b,c,d...

{2}Options RB = e,f,g,h,...

this is then also easier to handle, as compared to select a value from a very long list.

 

Stefan,

Thanks for that advice. I have made that change to the elogd.c file, but the only problem I don't know how to compile Elog to make that change take effect. I did the stop and restart of the elog  service in windows, but that made no difference. How do I compile ELog? Sorry for my ignorance, but I am fairly new to Elog.

You need a C compiler to compile Elog under Windows. If you don't have one, I would suggest to follow the advice to use conditional attributes. This does not require a recompilation of Elog.

I'm sure this topic has been visited previously, but a search of this forum didn't show any results.

Is there are support or already proven method of encrypting the logfiles that Elog serves up? 

There is no native support for encryption inside ELOG, but you can use some external tool to achieve encryption. You can for example use TrueCrypt to mount a virtual encrypted drive, where you store your log files.

Stefan,

I can get my hand on a C compiler. What the process involved?

Thanks,

Paul

 Sorry, but teaching you how to compile C programs is beyond the scope of this forum. Please buy a book for that. Most C compilers also comes with some decent documentation. You might try gcc under cygwin or Visual C++.

Stefan,

Thanks for your help. Will get back to you on how compiling the program went.

At present we can give others a full view by adding them to the 'Users' list for each individual logbook, this unfortunately also gives them 'write' access.


I think the solution to your problem would be to use Deny statements in the configuration sections for the logbooks.
Assume user1, user2 and user3 are in the "owners'" group of logbook1, and user4 and user5 only have "privileged read" access. Then a configuration as follows might help:
Login user = user1, user2, user3, user4, user5

Deny New = user4, user5
Deny Reply = user4, user5
Deny Duplicate = user4, user5
Deny Edit = user4, user5
Deny Delete = user4, user5
Deny Select = user4, user5
Deny CSV Import = user4, user5

This should give them the same read permissions as the logbook owners but should deny any writing operations. I recognize that this is a little bit of admin work if the lists of such "privileged readers" gets long, but each user would have his/her individual password (even the same as for access to his/her "own" logbook).

Perhaps you can give it a try.
