icon3.gif   Custom input forms implementation, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Sep 17 06:19:39 2010 Capture.pngelogd.cfgIMAG0036.jpgshiftcheck.html
Dear ELOG users,
starting with SVN revision 2328, custom input forms are implemented. This allows application specific formats for check lists etc. In our specific
case we had to implement a shift check list, which was quite long. Furthermore the check list should be optimized for an iPad, which we take in the field

is there an instruction document how to exacly host the ELOG on a server for example a raspberry pi?

Hi!

I am not sure if this is a know issue: it seems that the equation editor does not work anymore. Is there any fix or alternative method to type

Thanks for the help.

EPEL retired the ELOG package for security reason.

You can build from GIT source as described in elog:Forum/69732 .

Many thanks for your files and instructions. I integrated this into the official elog pipeline, so now the RPMs can be downloaded from https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html
and they will be updated automatically after each commit. If you succeed with any Debian/Ubunto I'm happy to add that. What's missing now is an
easy way to compile for Windows (which I don't have anymore).

Hi Stefan,

Nice to have up to date RPMs.

For .DEB, I contact the Ubuntu maintainer for its build script, and cool, he replied that he's searching for it. That's could help me

Some updates for Windows version.

I spent last WE to try to build ELOG on Windows from MSVCODE, MSCV, crosschain tool under linux etc, but in vain.

People are keeping me asking for a Windows installer. Is this now properly working, also under Windows 11? If you send me the executable, I could upload
it to the distribution.

Do people have to install cygwin before they can use it, or will the executable runn just by itself? If I understand correctly, the MinGW package

Is there a solution ?

TSL is not implemented in ELOG. Maybe I find time some day to do that, but if we have any volunteers in our community who could help me with that I would

What Stefan meant to say is that Elog does not implement sending email using encrypted SMTP over TLS.

In theory it could be implemented, but if you try to use it, you may find that most
