Ist there a possibility to use wildcards specifiing the users who are allowed to use a command, like ... Allow New = admin1, admin2, admin3 Allow Edit = admin1, admin2, admin3 Deny New = * Deny Edit = *

 

 Wildcards are not implemented for that purpose. But a "Allow New = admin1, admin2" implicitly denies this command for all other users, I guess that's what you want. There is also the possibility to use "Guest Menu Commands" to allow everybody to read entries, but only logged in users to write and modify them.

 

I tried it in a global group configuration

[global monitoring]
Allow Edit = admin1, admin2
Allow New = admin1

But I as admin2 am still able to create new entries in the corresponding log books.

Is this configuration only for logbooks?

 I just tried myself with following config:

[global]
port = 8080
password file = passwd
Allow New = joe

[demo1]
Theme = default
Attributes = Author, Subject

and it jus worked fine. When I'm not logged on as "joe", the "New" command even does not appear. If you would have supplied your correct ELOG version, I could have checked if you have an old version. In that case you could upgrade.

Hi,

how can i make the author field read only on new postings? It should take the value from $long_name after login and without login there is no way to make new postings.

This is a part of my elogd.cfg


[global]
.......

Logfile = elogd.log
Logging level = 3
Login expiration = 24
Password file = ./passwd ....... [Informations] .......
Logout to main = 1
Logbook tabs = 1
Guest menu commands = Back, Find, Login, Help
Guest find menu commands = Find, Select, Login, Help
Preset Author = $long_name
Attributes = Author, Subject
Required Attributes = Author, Subject ........

Thanks Brassmann

 

 All you need is an addition

Locked Attributes = Author

Hi, thanks for everyone involved for giving us the elog.

A question:

Is there an easy way (without intermediate save) to send screenshots (with irfan, snagit or hardcopy) as a new entry to an elog running on a remote machine?

Thanks, thorsten

 

 I use HoverSnap. This program generates a saved screenshot with one keystroke, so at least it saves you the manual save.

Hi

 I am experiencing trouble with Elog crashing. I think it crashes during input operations (new entries are being added).

Are there any preferred methods to troubleshoot this ? Any log files I could look at ?

For now, I let "monit" supervise the process and restart it if it crashes. But I would like to get to the root cause of the problem.

Dear Soren,

sorry for the trouble, but it's very hard to diagnose this remotely. This forum here runs fine for many months, so in principle Elog should be stable (at least the current version 2.7.5). If you have an older version, please upgrade. If you have a way to reproduce the problem reliably, you can send me your config file and explain step-by-step how you make Elog crash. Then I can try to reproduce it here. Otherwise the only chance I see is to run elog from inside the debugger, and once it crashes record the stack trace and send it to me. If you don't know how to use the gnu debugger, I'm sure you find someone at CERN who knows. 

Best regards,

   Stefan
