Hi,

Is it possible to store ELOG back-end database files in version control so as to synchronize multiple ELOG
instances?

Has anyone tried it? Any obvious show stoppers to such an approach?

Cheers,

I acknowledge that mirroring through SSL is highly requested, I will try to do my best to implement it. Doing it with version control on the back-end files is not such a good idea. After each synchronization you would have to restart the elogd servers, since they don't realize if the files got changed "under their feet". Furthermore, if you have changes on both sides on different entries for the same day, you have a conflict which you have to solve manually with an editor on the raw files. The elog synchronization works on the entry level, not on the file level. So if two different entries for the same day are changed on both servers, they are combined properly without conflict. Only if the same message got modified on both sides, elog reports a conflict and you have to choose one version or the other.

Hi,

I want to write a text like "John:Doe" in ELCODE. However the ":D" is converted to a LOL emoticon. I tried various ways to escape this. One solution I found was entering "John\:Doe". However, the upper-case D is converted to lower-case: the result reads "John:doe".

 

Thanks for an answer and many thanks for providing ELOG.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it in revision #2180.

Erik Iverson wrote:
I have a logbook I use to capture machine settings. There are many (~30) different attributes defined. I've defined the "Summary" view via "List display" in such a way that not all the attributes are displayed in the summary list, because there's no practical way to fit the 30 different attributes in 30 rows across the screen, and there's no need to have every attribute shown in the summary view. I would like to define something for the "Full" view that lets me put one (or more, but not all) attributes per line; much like the single-entry view does now, just with multiple entries. So a "Full" listing would look like

ID: 1
Attribute1: Value1
Attribute2: Value2
Attribute3: Value3
Text...

ID: 2
Attribute1: Value1
Attribute2: Value2
Attribute3: Value3
Text...

rather than
ID Attribute1 Attribute2 Attribute3
1 Value1 Value2 Value3
Text...
2 Value1 Value2 Value3
Text...
etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks as always for a wonderful piece of software!


This is not implemented, but I will consider it for a future version.

Hello Stefan and Elog fans,

Is there a way to find entries with the words program and error when then are not contiguous in the text?

Thanks,

Please have a look at

does this help? 

 

 Hello Stefan,

I am looking for the same answer that Yoichi was looking for.  For instance, could the text keyword filtering be looped so that the first group of results is then filtered by the next keyword?

--Mike

 

No, that's not possible unfortunately.

Hi

I was just wondering if there was a way that the comments for a logbook could be set to be invisible on the Selection page but then displayed once a user has logged in to a particular logbook?

This is required for security purposes. I want a common login page which shows all logbooks, where the logbook names only have meaning for people who know them but then once logged in the comment provides additional information about that logbook.

Thanks

Adam

 

Ok, I implemented a new option "Hide comments = 1" in SVN revision #2182, which will be included in the next release of elog.

Indeed, uploading images over a satellite connection does not crash the development ELOG server available from SVN.  Our user was unable to 
crash 
elogd (or upload an image) and reports "The upload window would complain about an "upstream server", but the site was still there."

Thank you very much for your time and help (with both of the issues reported in this thread).

Sincerely,
Devin

You can use the "Comment = ..." option to add something below "Logbuch" like I did here:

Hello,

please could you help me.

The Restrict edit funktion is not working. Because my user Dirk is able to edit/delete the text from user Peter:

 via select and edit.

Delete the - keep original text here - and then submit.

The whole text disappeared from the user Peter

I have tried both Restrict edit = 0 and then Restrict edit = 1 

Please note my config:

 

[global]
port = 80
Password file = C:\Program Files\ELOG\test.txt
Admin user = admin3
Self register = 1
Login expiration = 0

[demo]
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
Login user = Peter, Dirk, Kervin, Frank, MichaelH
Password file = C:\Program Files\ELOG\user.txt
Self register = 1
Login expiration = 0
Restrict edit = 0

 

Thanks

 

First, you need "Restrict edit = 1" in your config file. Then for each edit operation the system checks the currently logged in user against the "Author" attribute. Therefore, the "Author" attribute must contain the full user name. This can be achieved by adding

Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

as described in the manual.
