But it says locked on "websubmission" in the instructions for the command "Locked attributes".

Doesnt it  mean that for instance a logged in admin should be able to change a value of a submitted locked attribute.

I am looking for a possibility to have have certain attributes locked on submission but for instance admin should be able to change the data in them after they has been submitted.

No it does not mean that the admin should be able to change it afterwards. The only way is like I described it (change the config file temporarily).

 OK!

Thank you for a fast response!

Do you plan to implement this feature in later releases?

No.

No. 

 Is it possible in some other way to make certain attributes preset but readonly for normal user at submission but afterwards changed by admin user?

No.

 First, I really appreciate this software. Thank you.

Next, I have question - am wanting to have a 'dashboard' of sorts that shows all entries that are 'open'. That part is easy enough. But, then I want to color the time (or some other field) if the ELOG has not been updated/created for more than X hours. This will help us keep track of events that need status updates.

Doable?

Thanks!

Unfortunately not. What I would do is to define a quick filter, so with one click all 'open' entries are shown. Then you can look at the date column and see how long they have been open (actually when they have been submitted, so the difference you must calculate in your head!).

In the elogd.c file nearly at the very top is the following line:

char svn_revision[] = "$Id: elogd.c 2411 2011-04-01 14:39:35Z ritt $";

How does this information get into the source file?  Is it a script used when the svn changes are committed, or perhaps when they are checked out?  Any details or pointers to info on the web would be greatly appreciated.

This gets handled automatically by SVN. All you have to do is to put an "$Id$" in your text somewhere and enable the keyword ID. See for example

Hello,

we used Admin and write passwords. Now this is no longer supported in ELOG 2.9.0 and I tried to change to File or Kerberos Autentication. But nothing worked. I tried the following lines in elog.cfg

[Serverlogbuch]
Authentication = File
Password file = C:\Program Files\ELOG\logbooks\Serverlogbuch\pwd.txt
Self Authentication = 1

So the self Autentication site opens and I can put in all informations. But if I click on save he tries to save the information in the password file and after a time he stops and Internet Explorer says that the page cannot be reached.

The file is not saved. If I remove the 3 lines the logbook opens without any problems.

I tried also kerberos but it didn't work. But there I think some entries in the krb5.ini are wrong.

Would you please help solving the File password problem?

[...]

Just two hints:

  • The file mentioned as "Password file" should be writeable for the "elogd" process. It is needed for both, Kerberos and File authentication. Better not specify the full path, it should assume the file in the logbook directory.
  • The command "Self Authentication = 1" does not exist. Maybe you mean "Self register = 1"?

Thank you for the answer, but it didn't solve the problem.

  • I used Self Register instead of Self Authentication. I deleted the complete path and only used the Filename.
  • The Account which is used to start the Elogd process is local system. System has full right at the logbook directory

 Should I use an Admin Account for the elogd process? The error message is always the same (page not reachable) The File is also not created in the logbook dir.

 

I once had problems with the local system account, so I used my own account to start the service and that worked. For trial, you can also start the elogd.exe program manually (not as a service) in a DOS box and see if it can create the password file.

Richard Stamper wrote:

Is there a limit on the number of conditions that can be simultaneously active in a log?  When I activate more than 10 conditions I start to see side effects with other conditions being deactivated.  I think this is due to the hard-coded array size of 10 for clist in the match_param function in elogd.c.  If so, could this limit be increased?  

Are there other limits on the number of conditions, or the length of condition names?  If I've understood the code right, the _condition string holds a comma-separated list of the active conditions, so the 256 byte length of this will also put some limit on the number of conditions that can be active.

Ups. I never imagined that someone would use more than 10 conditions. I'm not 100% sure if the problem is the clist array, but can you try to set it to 20 and see if it gets better? You can also send me your config file and I can try it myself.

 I'm having some confusion with configuring my logbook.  In the global section of the logbook I have the quick filter enabled, but it is not a drop down list, only an editable text field:

 

Screen_Shot_2012-08-16_at_9.21.35_AM.png

 

I think it is an attributes issue, but I'm having some trouble making sense of those from the syntax page.  Here is my config file:

 

 

[global]

port = 8080

 

usr = vulcanstaff

Max content length = 1073741824

Menu commands = New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Last day, Move to, Copy to, Import, Help

RSS Title = $subject, posted by $author on $entry time

RSS Entries = 10

Quick filter = Date, Subject, Subtext

Use Lock = 1

Reverse sort = 1

Required Attributes = Author, Subject

 

[Experiment_Logbook]

Theme = default

Comment = Experiment Logbook

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Type, Category, Subject

Options Type =  Other

Options Category = Start Up

Extendable Options =Category

Page Title = $Subject

 

 

You get a drop-down list if you define several options for an attribut, like

Options Category = Start Up, Start Down, Other

The you can select one of the categories from the drop-down list.
