The ELOG repository has been moved from Subversion to GIT. While the old repository will be visible for some time, all new development is done on the GIT repository. To download the repository, do a

git clone https://bitbucket.org/ritt/elog.git
git clone https://bitbucket.org/tmidas/mxml.git

or access it online at https://bitbucket.org/ritt/elog/

Hi,

Is it possible to move a passwordfile from one E-log to another E-Log located on a different server without the need for users to register again?

Regards

Yes. Just make sure that both elog servers are not running when you move the password file.

Hi.

I'd like to package ELOG for the new Debian. I'm a complete beginner in
this matter, but I spent some time configuring it for my desktop.

Could you help me do this (links to package maintainance, Elog tips,
security, former package maintainer...) ?

Thanks for any help.

I'm also not familiar with Debian, all I know is that the former maintainer was Recai Oktas. See here for example:

I have, up until recently been able to add new logbooks.

Can anybody help me on this.

Just modify your configuration file elogd.cfg manually with an editor and add your logbooks there, then restart elogd.

 The navigation buttons work for me but Ctrl-PgUp and Ctrl-PgDn does not in IE8 or Chrome.

However buttons and Ctrl-PgUp and Ctrl-PgDn both work in FireFox, so seems to be browser specific, I noted that in Chrome Ctrl-PgUp and Ctrl-PgDn moves through your open Tabs.

I confirm that IE8 and Chrome "eat" the Ctrl-PgUp/Dn keys, so they are not passed to ELOG, and there is nothing I can do about.

  I have tried this forum, it worked fine. So, it should not be a browser. The only different I have logbook that I have been working on ELOG v2.6.5 and I have installed a new version v2.9.2. I just wonder any different data format (2.6.5 vs. 2.9.2) could have caused a problem.

The data format has nothing to do with the functionality of browsing buttons. Except if you have an empty logbook, or a logbook with just one entry, then of course going forwared and backward will not make any sense.

Hi,

I am setting up an elog to organize my lab activities. I installed elog 2.8.0 on the latest CentOS 5.5, 32 bit. I got into trouble setting up the automated email notification.

According to the elog manual, I setup the smtp setting in the elogd.cfg as follows:

SMTP host = smtp.gmail.com
SMTP username = jianglai.liu
 

I then used "elogd -t" to encode the password into the configuration file.

But when I submit an entry, I always received: "Error sending Email via "smtp.gmail.com": 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. y17sm867489wfd.15"

If I switched to use my university email servers, similar things happened.

SMTP host = smtp.sjtu.edu.cn
SMTP username = jianglai.liu

I got "Error sending Email via "smtp.sjtu.edu.cn": 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: another step is needed in authentication"

I also switched to use one of my old work server

SMTP host = smtp-server.its.caltech.edu
SMTP username = jliu

and ended up with the same error message.

I did a google search on this without much progress. I would appreciate it very much if someone could shed light on how do I fix this.

Thanks much!

elog only supports basic authentication, not TLS or SSL. These days more and more SMTP servers require this however. I will put this on my to-do list. In meantime you can maybe configure your CentOS machine acting as an SMTP server, and then not using TLS or SSL there. That's what most people do.

 Hi, has this problem been fixed? (i.e does ELOG now support TLS or SSL?) Thanks, Oliver

Didn't have time yet for this.
