That sounds fine but I think there is a problem with rendering under Opera. I enclose a screen shot: There is too much white space in the lines, it seems $

The problem only appears in Find

 I just tried myself with V10.50, and things work fine, even in the find page:

Can you try on the forum, just to check if it's specific to your configuration?

Bertram Metz wrote:

Hi,

I'm trying to implement top groups and started with the sample configuration shown in the 'Syntax of elogd.cfg' chapter of the documentation. But now I'm facing a problem with the links in the logbook selection page.

Here's my group configuration:

Group Linux PCs = Red Hat, Debian, Mandrake
Group Windows PCs = NT, XP

Top group engineering = Linux PCs, Windows PCs
Top group administration = Employees, Purchases
Show top groups = 1
 

The selection page for the top groups is displayed correctly, but the URL for the groups beneath the top group is incorrect. The URL for the Linux PCs group for instance is http://localhost:8080/engineering/engineering/ . The URLs for the logbooks within the Linux PCs groups is correct (e.g. http://localhost:8080/Debian/)

Has anybody an idea what's going wrong in y configuration?

Bertram

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it in the intermediate release 278-4 which is ready for download.

Hi,

Is it possible to attach multiple files at one time?  Right now I have to attach each individually, click submit, then confirm, then re-select the next file...

This is a pain if one is attaching many files as I often want to do.  It would be nice to be able to select groups of files together using Ctrl and/or Shift, and even to attach a whole directory recursively.

I looked through previous threads but did not find this question asked there.

Thanks,

Eric

This is a well known problem, but unfortunately it's a limitation of HTML and how web browsers work. If it would be easy to attach whole directories to HTML forms, it would be too easy to steal important files from your computer. So the HTML designers decided that each file hast to be confirmed manually, and that's why you have to click so often. There is no way ELOG could bypass this scheme.

When entering data for a new log entry some folks always type in an attribute and then the "Enter" key which automatically

submits the entry. Is there a way to prevent this so the only way a new entry is submitted is with the Submit button. Also

is there a way to setup the main text box as a required attribute?

This is unfortunately a limitation of HTML forms. If anybody know a way around that, I'm happy to implement it.

Hi

When I upload a message with a attachment (and also without an attachment) I get this message:

"No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file"

However the file and the text have been uploaded. So why does it gives me this message, and how do I work this out?

Best Regards

Tirwit

This error comes if you have configured email notifications, and no SMTP host defined in the configuration file. Elog has to contact your SMTP server to send any email. Read the email notification paragraph in the documentation.

Found a thread from 2004 ("External authentication") asking about the possibility of tying that in with ELog and answer was "Not yet". With time past, any chance this is now possible? I didn't see any more info on that since. 

I'd like to explore using AD to set up/manage groups for ELog authentication. Alternatively, is there currently another way with ELog to manage groups?

Regards.

External authentication is still on the list. But I'm not sure what is the best way: LDAP, PAM, Kerberos. Should work under windows and linux. Unfortunately I won't have time in the next few months to implement that, but it stays high on my todo list.

Stefan,

i recently download the elog server for windows and configured. its working with me fine

i would like to configure my elog server for to display a different color when am giving a specific "value" for a attribute "Status".

from the documentation i found to use the

Style Status Fixed = background-color:green

but with this configuration, the entire raw will be with red color or the specified color. i am looking only for that specific box (Status column) to be with specific color.

my configuration is as follows

Attributes = Author, Type, Category,  Subject, Location, Problem Description, Status

Options Status = Fixed, Under Process, Not Fixed

Style Status Fixed  = background-color:green

Style Status Not Fixed  = background-color:red

Style Status Under Process  = background-color:yellow

Am attaching two images, one is current display and next one is what i am looking for

am not sure about will it possible or not.  please guide me. if it possible with javascript please tell me how i can include a external javascript for this pupose.

Thanks in advance

siva

I have added a new option for you:

Cell Style <attribute> <value> = ...

which does exactly that. The new version is 2.7.8-5 is ready for download.
