Hello,

one question regard Options: For e. g. I am using the following command: Options Categories = NT, 2000, XP, Linux
Now I would like to delete the entry NT. But that would cause, that NT is no longer available in the search function. So I wonder if there is a way to deactivate an attribute?

Thanks!

Uwe

Thanks for the quick answer!

best regards,

Uwe

Hello,

I am trying to update from version V2.7.2-2041  to V2.7.3 but getting the attached error message. OS is Windows 2003. I installed the update on Windows XP without a problem. Does anybody know ho to solve that problem? Thanks!

Uwe

Thanks, that fixed it...

Hi,

we're using elog to handle various logbooks. It's a great tool by the way. 
While replacing the Win32 2.7.8 Release with Release 3.1.4-2, we ran into the 
following problem.

Since elog is for internal usage only, we allow users to self-register if they 
are new. Therefore  "Self register = 1" is set in the [global]-area.

Using the Win32-Release of elog, it worked fine while using Release 2.7.8 or 
2.8.0. Starting with Release 3.x everytime you try do add a user, the following 
error occurs:

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

No matter if the user self-registers or is added by an elog-admin-user. We 
tried various 3.x Releases from 3.1.0-1 up to the latest 3.1.4-2. 
The error-message remains the same. Curious, although an error-message occurs, 
the user is added and able to use all logbooks. We also ran elogd in 
Debug-Mode (-v3), but the output didn't give a clue.

By the way using the same configuration on a linux-based installation (Debian 
and RaspiOS) self-registration works smooth. No error-message occurs.

So what could be the problem? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. 

Thanks for answering. Just tried your suggestion with different browsers
(firefox, chrome, brave) but the error message still appears when adding a
new user.

By the way, i justed noticed that if you click "back" followed by "cancel" you
enter the logbook as the user you just added. It seems that although elogd
throws an error, the user is added. Weird.

Since most of our users don't trust open source software, the error message
will only confuse them. So, is there any way to avoid this message from
appearing?

Perhaps a few words about our use case:
We are a german non profit organisation in disaster control. Since 2007 we use
elog as mobile mission journal in our unit. We adapted elog to run from
usb-stick, so all our first-responders have to do is to plug it into a laptop
and they are ready to go.
We also hand the adapted installation to other organisations like local fire
department or red cross units and offer them a short (2 hour) course on how to
use it. Since the windows-release is the most requested, it would be confusing
for them if an error message appears every time a new user is added.

So if you have any further ideas, I would appreciate that.

Uwe
