Field values dependent on other selections, posted by Anthony Krishock on Tue Oct 20 02:34:46 2020
|
All,
I would like to know if there is a way in elog to populate a field based on the value of another field. What I want to do is have a field with
a few selections (a menu) and another text field that populates based on what I select from the menu. |

Look in the manual under "conditional attributes"

Thanks for your suggestion. Right now, my log is configured as follows:
Options Eyepiece = Pentax{a}, TeleVue{b}, Meade{c}
{a} Options Pentax = 5mm, 20mm, 30mm |

Instead of using three different options you could use the same:
Options Eyepiece = Pentax{a}, TeleVue{b}, Meade{c}
{a} Options Form = 5mm, 20mm, 30mm |

From command line: "command Submit not allowed", posted by David Wallis on Tue Oct 20 15:08:17 2020

I'm running Elog version V3.1.4-ba84827 on Red Hat Linux 7.9. As part of migrating from an older in-house logbook to Elog, I need to upload
all the old logbook entries. However, when I attempt to do that with the "elog" command line tool, I'm getting the error "command Submit
not allowed. |

Update: I tried switching the logbook to no authentication reqiured, and still get the "command Submit not allowed" response.

"submit not allowed" you typically get if there is a "guest menu" for read-only access and you are not logged in. I never tried the
elog program with PAM authentication, but you said that your turned authentication off. What I would do is to strip down your elogd.cfg to a very simple
form until the elog utility works, then figure out which configuration makes the trouble. |

Hmmm... I added "New" to the Guest menu list, and the button showed up for a guest user. But when I submitted the new ticket, I got the message Error:
Command "Submit" is not allowed for user ""

Giving up. Send me your config file and I will debug it.

I've been able to work around this by completely turning off authentication, and adding New to the Guest menu list.
One additional question: since I'm uploading historical logbook entries, is it possible to set the entry creation date via the command line?
It seems that elogd is overriding the attribute "Date". |

FYI, I had problems a few weeks ago trying to get the command line elog working, blamed everybody and everything but myself.
In my case it was command line syntax errors and eventually got it going as part of a nightly script
While testing I ran the Elog Server from the command line in verbose mode to see if that helped determine the problem. |

Hi David, thanks for your input!
This logbook has been around for almost 10 years, and has evolved from file-based authentication, to LDAP, and finally to PAM (that can use any
of local password files, LDAP, and Active Directory), and I'm thinking that might be the root of this problem. There are old account entries from the |

Is it possible to visually group attributes with border, posted by Daniel Sajdyk on Thu Oct 8 12:29:55 2020

Hello,
I'm working on new logbook and in one category I'll have many attributes (many more than in attached screenshot).
So here is my question. Is it possible to visually group such attributes with some border, or something like that? |

Nope, this is not possible. Sorry.

moving eLog to another computer, posted by Ekaterina Korobkina on Wed Sep 30 18:57:44 2020

Our Unix server died, so we decided to move our old eLog to the new server, running Mac OSX. Elog version is earlier then 2013, I can not say
I read that on OSX eLog must be intalled through "make" command
if I need to install eLog first, how to add all old information later? |

Re: moving eLog to another computer, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Sat Oct 3 11:08:27 2020

you need to copy your logbooks into the "logbooks" directory.
you need to copy your elog.cfg logbook config file to the
new elog folder and reference it at start-up (something like "elogd -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg ...")
Some people modify other
stuff (CSS, java scripts) but if you had you would know what you did. |
