Changing of entries after expired time restriction by synchronisation, posted by Gino Guenzburger on Thu Aug 16 13:33:39 2018

I'm working on setting up an elog as lab-journal in our group with the following set-up:
The elog is running on a server, with no back-end access for the users.
Multiple people will use it, all loging in with the
same user-name and password.
The entries submitted to the log-book can only be edited for 24hours, as defined by the "Restrict edit time= |
Problem with eloglang.german_UTF8, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Tue Aug 7 10:53:45 2018

I had a problem with restarting ELOG since about a year, and finally I found the culprit. I just want to share it here, to prevent anyone else to make
the same mistake,
Apparently the files resources/eloglang.* are rather sensitive to the syntax. But it doesn't tell you: no warning or error message comes |

Dear all,
I have some logbook which uses preset text depending on some option values, and uses text files for this.

As always, Andreas has clever ideas. Never thought about this possibility.

number of entries in Login user list, posted by Janusz Szuba on Wed Jun 13 18:08:06 2018

Hi,
could it be possible to increase the limit of entries in Login user list from 100 to somewhat reasonably higher? Like twice or 3 times as
much. Similar limit exist also on Admin user list, which is afair 10, could this also be increased? |

Hi Janusz,
You can change the following line in elogd.h and recompile:
#define MAX_N_LIST 100 |

Thanks, good point, I was not sure that in case of other lists which will be changed as well, there will not be any problems, like overflow, etc.
Regarding admin list, now I remember, that was the limit to send email notification in case of registration requests. But actually it is not
important right now. |
Re: number of entries in Login user list, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Jun 14 13:17:33 2018

Well, many arrays based on MAX_N_LIST are created on the heap memory, and if you exceed that, elogd simply crashes. There are compile options to increase
the stack and heap size, but that depends on the operating system and the compiler. The value of 100 has been proven to work everywhere. If you increase
it, you're on your own. |

shiftcheck restrict edit, posted by Xuan Wu on Thu May 24 08:53:50 2018

Hi all,
There are options "Restrict edit" and "Restrict edit time" for general logbooks, but it seems not work for shiftcheck logbook.
I think the function only author can change their own entry is necessary for shiftcheck too. Any suggestion would be hightly appreciated. |

Is there a way to restrict other author to edit the custom input form submitted?

text area height, posted by Giuseppe Cucinotta on Fri Jun 1 17:08:48 2018

Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to set a minimum default value for the height of the text box when submitting new entries. If I understood well, by
default the text box height automatically resizes in order that all the elements of the page are visible. Actually for our needs having a minimum |

I tried with Message Height = 100 inside the conifguration of my logbook, but nothing changed as you can see in the first picture...
What I'm looking for is a way, if possible, to start by default with a wider message box, someting like fig2. For our purpose, using wide
tables, it would be very useful to have a wider message box in order to have a full look to the message content, and also having it by default without |

The message height option only works if you select either "ELCode" or "plain" for encoding (this can also be made as default in the
config file). For the HTML editor, the size is set internally and I don't have any influenc on it.

Enabling SSL, posted by Pasti on Fri May 18 08:04:37 2018
|
Hi all,
I'm following config guide and so far so good. The only issue I run into is when enabling SSL.
Guide says - One can replace this certificate and key with a real certificate to avoid browser pop-up windows warning about the self-signed certificate. |
Re: Enabling SSL, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Jun 5 12:28:27 2018
|
This comes from the openSSL library which elog includes. I tried myelf and found that a chained certificate is not correctly interpreted by the openSSL
library. Most people anyhow don't use SSL inside elog, but run an Apache server in front of elog. This is anyhow better since Apache has an industry-strength
security with regular updates. Much better than relying on OpenSSL. |
