Is it possible to have many roots with one elogd (or run several elogds), such that you can seaparate different groups or themes from each other:

electronics

       trigger

       power

mechanics

       detector

       support

Thanks.

Is there a way to setup a search, to search several log books but not all the logs books at one time?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm currently trying to setup a logbook which will contain process descriptions. One of the attributes will be the resists that are used. This could be more than one resist, hence I try to use MOptions but users should also be able to add materials to the selection list. When I write the following, I get some problems though:

Required Attributes = Name, Author, Resists
MOptions Resists =  Nano Copolymer EL-10, S1813
Extendable options = Resists

If a user wants to add a resist, he gets a textbox to add the new resist (which will contain what was already toggled), but there is now way to select also other resists that are already available, without saving the post and than edit it again. Previously selected resists are deselected when a new resist is added (if the user had emptied the textbox) and one can not save the newly added attribute option without saving the whole entry.

Is there a nice way to implement this (am I overlooking an obvious solution), or is this not possible at all. I guess an ideal solution would be to get some sort of ok button when one adds an attribute option and after confirming the new value that one gets back to the checkboxes without exiting the edit mode.

Regards,

Michaël

PS: This is the complete config for this logbook:

Theme = default
Page Title = $logbook - $Name
Edit Page Title = $logbook
Comment = Photolithography Processes

Quick filter = Name, Resists
Preset Author = $long_name
Reverse sort = 1

Attributes = Name, Author, Resists
Sort Attributes = Resists, Name, Author
Required Attributes = Name, Author, Resists
MOptions Resists =  Nano Copolymer EL-10, S1813
Extendable options = Resists
Sort Attribute Options Resists = 1

List display = Name, Author, Resists

If you use an attribute "Entry" then the internal variable "entry time" will expand to the last value of
"$Entry"+" time", e.g. if you use it in "Thread display = $entry time, ..."

One side effect is, that the logbook selection page defaults to use
Last submission = $entry time by $author
Which then expands to an undesired result.

This is not really a bug, rather something you'll need to keep in the back of your mind.

A query to a logbook can crash the demon.

20797         message_id = msg_list[index].lbs->el_index[msg_list[index].index].message_id;

After registering, elog displays a page with the message:

     Error: Command "Config" is not allowed for user ""

However, the registration is successful. This causes confusion, and results in users registering multiple times.

In the elogd.conf file, I have the directive:

     Allow Config = bergman

Any suggestions?

 Well done Mike!

One result is that I've also learnt things, realised that there are some known unknowns and perhaps some unknown unknowns in my

understanding of Elog.

 Got it to work, manipulating the files was not that hard once I got over the FEAR factor.  Good luck with the speed of light thing.
