While it is not possible to specify a number of characters per row, you can control the number of text lines in the summary view using the
Summary lines = NNN
directive (cf. also the ELog admin guide).

Davide Salomoni wrote:

With SSL enabled, I'd like to to grab the CN (Common Name) of the user certificate and use that as login authentication method.

I am thinking of the following scenario:

- users with read & write privileges need to have an SSL certificate loaded in their browser. The "Author" field will be pre-set to the CN of the user certificate.

- authorization may be subject to further granularity (e.g. only allow users whose certificate belongs to a certain organization)

- read-only, guest access (without certificate) may or may not be allowed

 

Is there a way to do that?

 I put your request on the wish list.

Stefan,

Is there any way I might be able to initiate the 'copy to' function by selecting a 'tick box' (boolean) or conditional attribute choice in an entry page when submitting that page? We have a requirement where we run a main 'Operations' log and have another log with some entries needing to be in both (for additional actions etc). I understand the Operator can always manually use the 'Copy To' function after submitting the original entry but was wondering if there was some way a shell script (execute function?) or similar may be activated by a boolean or even a 'conditional' choice?

Thx

 You've probably seen my other posts on this subject.

I want to be able to re-edit some entries but I need some way to know the dates entries were re-edited.

Am I just approaching this the wrong way? Should I disable re-editing of entries and use threads to follow changes by posting replies to an entry?

The only problem with that is that if I make a mistake I will have to submit a new entry to fix it. 

Please read the FAQ

 

Apart from logging when and who, is it also possible to somehow log WHAT has changed (like $attribute + $old_value was changed by $who at $date)

 No, this is not possible.

I am using the CMS ELog remotely as a monitoring tool.  Information is compartementalized into dozens of containers.  I can create a find query URL, say last day, which then reloads every X minutes in Firefox.  When new ELog entries are made, then appear in the refresh and catch my attention.  But, my interests are somewhere between a single logbook and all logbooks.  If I choose all CMS logbooks for example for one day, I usually end up with > 200 entries. 

In short, I would like the ability to:

1) Select from the list of available logbooks when doing a search

2) Have more canned choices from smaller time frames, such as 1 hour or at least one shift (8 hours).

I do not see how to do this in the current elogd.cfg syntax instructions.

Thanks, Alan

 First of all have you considered using the built in RSS feed? With an RSS reader new entries are shown in a local notification box similar to new email. Some people like it.

1) This is not directly possible, but there is a trick: Define a URL to each logbook and put it into the Bookmarks Toolbar of Firefox. If you have many logbooks, this will however clutter up your toolbar. Then I recommend to make a subfolder in the toolbar and put them into it. Now firefox has the neat feature that if you click with the right mouse button on the folder, it offers you "Open All in Tabs". If you select this, you get a tab for each logbook in fireforx, and you can browse through each logbook individually.

2) This function was there long time ago (since I needed it myself) but somehow vanished. I added it back in revision 2126. You can now craft an URL like

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/past-8

to show the last 8 hours.

Is there any way to send email notification of only the message and not the attachment. We get entries consisting of 10 MBs sometimes, and we would like to send only the message and not the attachment in the email notification. I tried restricting postfix to 1MB and using Email Format = 111 but with no success.

You have to use 

Email Format = 47

to remove the attachments. The encoding is decimal, not binary, so you have to do 1+2+4+8+32.
