icon5.gif   Restrict edit - issue, posted by Heinzmann on Mon Mar 9 17:55:30 2009 

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.

Can you give me some more information? Can you see attachments in the Demo Logbook like here ? What about other browsers? Can you try to start elogd without keep-alives (using the "-k" flag)?

 Hi. I have a same problem... It works well with other browsers, like firefox and internet explorer, but not with safari (with and without keep-alives). 

The demo logbook in the link works fine with safari, though. 

Thanks.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I finally found the reason and fixed it in revision 2191. I made a new release 2.7.6 which contains all the collected bug fixes from the last few months.

icon5.gif   Problems when trying to set up mirror elog , posted by Ricardo Goncalo on Tue Jul 28 19:14:23 2009 

Hi,

I'm trying to synchronize an elog in my computer with my personal elog in my institute's server. The two elogd.cfg files are necessarily different since the elog in my institute is for many people's elogs, so I'm not completely sure this is supposed to work.  

I've copied the configuration of my (remote) elog into my local elogd.cfg file, and added in the global section of the local file:

 

 

Mirror server = https://www.pp.rhul.ac.uk:8080/

Mirror Config = 1

Mirror cron = 0 7-19 * * 0-5

Mirror user = ricardo

Password file = [my password file]

 

 

Then I relaunched my local elogd demon and tried both to synchronize the local elog and to wait for the cron job to do it. When I try to synchronize the "ATLAS Trigger" elog I get in the browser:

"Safari can’t open the page “https://localhost:8080/ATLAS+Trigger/?cmd=Synchronize” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “localhost”"

 

(the local elog is in https://localhost:8080/ATLAS+Trigger/)

When I wait for cron to update from the mirror this is what I get in the log:

 

28-Jul-2009 18:51:09 [] SSLServer listening on port 8080 ...

 

28-Jul-2009 18:50:00 [] Cron job started

28-Jul-2009 18:50:00 [] {ATLAS Trigger} MIRROR: Remote server is not an ELOG server

 
Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? I thought it might be the password, but checked that the one in the local password file should be the same as in the remote server. Then I thought it could be the path to the remote server, but can't figure out what might be bad about it and it still doesn't work after a few variations. Another possibility is the elog version: 2.7.3 in the remote server and 2.7.6 locally. Any ideas would be welcome... this is a very convenient feature and it would be great to get it to work!
Cheers,
Ricardo
