Since there's no answer to that.
I am the only one with the problem? Did I just configure something wrong?
Thanks Heinz |

There are two ways:
1) Use different password files for different logbooks. Each password file contains only those users which have access to that logbook.
2) Use "Login user = <usr list>" to restrict access to certain users in that list. |

Thanks for the answer. The real problem is that you can overwrite existing entries even if you have set an entry to "read only", i.e. you have
forbidden further editing.

There is no "read only" flag. Please describe what you exactly did. Probably you want "Restrict edit time" for that.

Sorry,
I meant "read only" by using "Restrict edit time" settings. e.g.
Restrict edit time = 24 |

So you are telling me that "Restrict edit time" is not working correctly? In order to fix any problem, I have to reproduce it. Can you post
a minimel elogd.cfg file with which I can reproduce the problem?

I ask my users where they had the problems and then create a demo for testing.
Thanks Heinz

Ok, I found the issue. The "Restrict edit time" is only checked when one clicks on "Edit" in the browser. The elog command line tool
does not really an edit, but just submits an entry with an (old) ID. I added a check also for that case so now it should work. The commit is in git.

Can't subscribe email to logbooks in different top groups, posted by Ben Loer on Thu Apr 11 20:31:55 2019
|
We're running elogd behind an apache proxy server, with Authentication = Webserver. We have top groups configured, but a single shared password file.
If a user is looking at a particular logbook and goes to the Config link, they are presented with a list of checkboxes for email subscription
to logbooks in that top group. Clicking "Save" will remove all email subscriptions from all other top groups. |

Top groups should use separate password files, otherwise things can mess up.

How to edit Elog landing pages., posted by John on Thu Mar 14 06:38:12 2019
|
Hi and thanx for such a wonderful program! I was wondering how I might edit, change or add to the landing pages. In other words the first pages that
show up (or any for that matter) when you login to a book. I can view the code ok in my browser using that function, but when I search for the actual page
and it's locale, I cannot find it. Is it created on the fly by the server? If so, how can I change them.. as I want to add for instance javascripts |

Well I answered part of my own question already.. I can have a start page different from what is default, and I can edit the orginal one by simply copying
it and modifiying it to my hearts desire. I still have isues after making menu selections from that page tho, when the program (server) takes
me to a site called for example: ../forum/index.html?cmd=Config. I cannot find out how to prevent or modify this behaviour. I am supposing tho, that |

Per default, all pages are created dynamically by elogd directly from its C code. So nothing to change easily except hacking the code. There is one exception
which is the start page you found already. To change any other page, you have to modify the C code. There is one more (dirty) trick: You can sneak in JavaScript
code on every page via the "bottom text" option. This code can then modify the DOM tree and changes pages, but you need to program this in JavaScript. |

Wow Stefan thanks for your kind reply. This gives me a reason to finally pickup JavaScript, which I am finding both easy and fun, esepcially with
all the modules/coding out there already, which makes things easier to do while learning it! I will let you know as I progress on my 'top secret'
hack of your masterpiece ;) |
elog.css and lock.png fail to load with top groups, posted by Ben Loer on Thu Mar 21 16:14:00 2019

As the title says, we have our elog running behind an Apache proxy that is also providing authentication. We also have top groups enabled. The
first time a user views a top group page with a fresh browser cache, the index is delivered, but requests for elog.css and lock.png are returned with http
302 with location set to the elog root. (I.e., if the server is proxied under server.example.com/logs, the first request for server.example.com/logs/TopGroup1/elog.css |

elog client through proxy, posted by gibelin julien on Mon Mar 25 12:31:34 2019

Dear users,
we started an elog serveur (using ssl) and open to the world which is working fine.
However I am trying to access it via the command line client, from a computer that uses a proxy to connect to internet. |

The "elog" client does unfortunately not support proxies. You could however achieve the same with the "curl" tool. Have a look at

Hiding Logbook tabs, posted by Alan Grant on Thu Mar 28 21:55:14 2019
|
I know you can restrict access to logbooks on per user basis but can anyone tell me if it is possible to HIDE certain logbook tabs/groups on per
user basis (ie, so they would just see logbooks they are authorized to see)? |

ELOG understands kerberos authentication (See https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#access).
If your SSO works with kerberos, then your SSO user name and password can be used to sign in to ELOG. But I'm not sure if that is what you
are asking for... |
