We have multiple users for a single elog.  Aside from making an entry only editable by the author, is there a way to secure the entry if it is being edited so that only one user may edit a particular entry at one time?

Also, is there a way to auto-submit entries after x minutes?

Your help and support are appreciated.

You can use

use lock = 1

as described in the documentation. Auto-submission is on the wishlist and will be implemented in the not-so-far future. 

No, there are only the options

execute new = ...

execute edit = ...

execute delete = ...

though which you can execute external scripts. Maybe this is enough? 

Hi All,

Perhaps a trivial question but some issues have arisen accessing my long-running elog with SSL enabled.  I suspect firewalls and browser updates are involved and I do not have the time or experience to diagnose and debug such a potential black-hole of difficulties.  Instead I am looking for a quick fix, and the first step - switching off sll - seems to work.  Now I would like to use redirect so that the elog is running under apache, however this is where I have stumbled; I have passwords so the plan is to eventually secure using apache.  Apache works fine and is running pages on ports 80 and 443, although I seem unable to redirect the elog (port 8080).  Following the instructions on the administrators guide I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /elog/ on this server.

The page is found at least so my redirect is doing something, and I suspect the solution is trivial, though I'm not too sure where to start.

-------------------

Also, what is  the best practice for updating one's elog version.  I originally installed using a tarball.

 Still struggling with this issue, if anyone has managed to solve it let me know.   I've done the obvious and checked ownership/ permissions of the elog folders and they are exactly the same as etc/var/www, which is working in apache.

ELog has been installed on our local server which runs on local time (UTC +8) and is working well, however, we work in two time zones.

Our PC's run in local time (IT requirement) but need to save and display one log in UTC and one log in local time - can this be done?

Appreciate anyones help!

Thanks

• define an additional logbook attribute, say "UTC Date"
  
• preset it on entry creation and submission with the UTC timestamp (cf. section "Attributes" of the ELog configuration guide):

  Preset UTC Date = $utcdate
  Subst UTC Date = $utcdate

• prevent the attribute from being changed manually by adding it to the

  Locked Attributes = < ... >

  and

  Fixed Attributes Edit = < ... >

  lists, respectively.
  You may also have to add it to the

  Remove on reply = < ... >

  list if replies turn out to keep the "UTC Date" value of the original entry.
  

Hello,

What is the procedure to delete a logbook (incl. attachments)?
