As a work around, I've changed the elogd startup script to do:

        /usr/local/sbin/elogd -v -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg 2>&1 | perl -ne '$|=1; if ( $_ =~ /name="upassword"/
) {<>; <>;} else { print "$_";}' > /var/log/elog 2>&1 &

That simply throws away lines that match the pattern:

    name="upassword"

and the following 2 lines (the last of which contains the password).

Thanks for reporting that bug. With the help of your config file I finally could reproduce and fix it. The fix is contained in SVN revision 2462.

 Thanks mate.. Glad to know it wasn't just me going insane? I'll keep an eye out for the new file

For the new version have a look here: http://midas.psi.ch/elog/faq.html#21

I use it with the current version and it works fine for me. What you might be missing is the

URL = http://example.com/elogbook/

statement in your elogd.cfg to make this work.

Best regards,
Stefan

I don't remember the details, but originally had the same trouble. I think a "/" at the end of a url got me somewhere. 
I have defined...

URL = http://somewhere.edu/elog

...in the config file, and my redirect looks like this:

Redirect /elog http://somewhere.edu/elog/
ProxyPass /elog/ http://somewhere.edu:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /elog/ http://somewhere.edu:8080/

Roland Gsell wrote:

Hi,

the manual says:

"
There are four ways through which access to a logbook may be controlled:

it may be open for all to read ;
it may require a common "read" password for all users ;
it may require each user to have an individual user account (login name) and password ;
finally, access may be granted or not depending on the address of the workstation you are using.
"

But it doesn't say how to do so or at least I didn't find it.

If I have each user have to log in with an individual accout, can I define which logbooks he can read and/or modify?
If yes, how to do that?

Also, please accept my vote for user groups. We can use that, too.

TIA,
Roland.

You haven't found it. Just look here:

http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#access

 

You need Password file and Login user

Hi there,

I am new to ELOG, trying to add an image (logo) in my top text.

Theme = default
Comment = TRIPLE POINT Log
Top text = Logo.png

results in ‰PNG  .

When I just enter a string of text it seems to work fine... I would really appreciate any help!

 

thanks!

 Hi there,

 

I'm not sure where it appears in the documentation, but question 9 of the FAQs shows that 'Bottom text' has to be in html - and so does 'top text'

The get-it-done-now way to do it would be

Top Text = <img src=Logo.png>

(and ensure Logo.png is in the same directory as the config file - otherwise you'd best put the path of where it is in).

Of course you can do all sorts of things with this, such as centering, have it so that if you click on the logo you get taken to some other home page, but for

all that sort of thing check up with a guide to html.
