icon5.gif   Find in multiple logbooks returns wrong pages, posted by Patrick Decowski on Mon Feb 27 19:29:15 2006 
hello ELOG developers,

i think that i found a problem in the find function of ELOG  version 2.6.1. i can reproduce it on the forum ELOG website on midas.psi.ch:

go to: http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Contributions/?cmd=Find
and enter under author 'ritt' and check the 'search all logbooks' checkmark, then search

the returned list has all your postings on all three ELOG sections, but if you look at the links that are returned, they point to the 'Contributions' 
portion of the ELOG and not the 'Forum' portion as they should. this means that the wrong posting is returned when you click on the link (or in 
this case, no posting at all).

for example, the HTML of the first link is
[...]
<tr>
<td class="list2" nowrap><a href="1723">Forum</a></td>
<td class="list2">
<a href="1723">&nbsp;&nbsp;1723&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>
</td>

<td class="list2" nowrap><a href="1723">Thu Feb 23 15:50:20 2006</a></td>
<td class="list2"><a href="1723">Stefan <B style="color:black;background-color:#ffff66">Ritt</B></a></td><td class="list2"><a 
href="1723"><a href="stefan.ritt@psi.ch">stefan.ritt@psi.ch</a></a></td><td class="list2"><a href="1723">Question</a></td><td 
class="list2"><a href="1723">Re: Protect Selection page</a></td><td class="list2"><a href="1723"></a>&nbsp;</td><td class="list2"><a 
href="1723"></a>&nbsp;</td><tr>
[...]

i.e., it is missing '../Forum' in front of all the links.

regards,
patrick.

icon5.gif   Interfaced with SSO, posted by Patricia Mendez Lorenzo on Fri Mar 22 09:53:39 2019 

Dear Supporters,

 

I am evaluating the elog software as lobgook for high energy pgysics and I was just wondering the interface with SSO from the login point of view. Once euthenticated with SSO, can this authentication be also recognized by elog?

 

Thank you so much

Best Regards,

PAtricia

icon5.gif   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.

Can you please tell me a more details regards this part? I have acquired security certificate and replaced contents of SSL folder. 

Now elogd.exe gets error 1067.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

icon5.gif   Record Proliferation, posted by Paraic Fahey on Mon Mar 5 16:19:24 2012 

Saving, using Submit sees recently updated fields cleared after hitting SUBMIT.

MOre significantly this then leads to a proliferation of instances of the same record being generated in the logfile and consequently on the logbook.

Has anybody a fix or advice on this?

icon5.gif   cannot add new logbooks to any of my logbook groups, posted by Paraic Fahey on Thu Oct 3 10:23:31 2013 

Each time a attempt to CREATE A LOGBOOK on any of my logbook groups, I get an ELOG ERROR page presenting saying FORBIDDEN ATTRIBUTE DATE.

I have, up until recently been able to add new logbooks.

Can anybody help me on this.

Just modify your configuration file elogd.cfg manually with an editor and add your logbooks there, then restart elogd.

 I cannot answer for Windoze, BUT there is more to this if you use Linux.

(Sorry for re-entry, I spotted a cut-and-paste error from first time around)

If you want to make a new logbook in linux manually, you need to do the following:

0.  Stop the elogd daemon.

1.  Edit elogd.cfg as Stefan said.  This will be in two parts - at the top, and then a block of entries which is what you normally see when you go to the "config" section of any logbook.  Easiest to copy and paste an existing block, only remember to put in a new header in the square brackets at the top - the name of your new logbook.  While most of the elogd.cfg is the same as in the documentation, the additional headers etc are pretty self-explanatory, and you only see these because you're editing the file raw rather than through the elog interface.  Once restarted, you can then edit the config for the new logbook in the usual way.

2.  Create a new subdirectory in your logbooks directory *with the same name* as the name you added in when editing elogd.cfg.

3.  Give that subdirectory the correct ownership and permissions.

4.  Only then, start elogd again.

As a windows user, which of the above you need to do: create the subdirectory (I imagine so) and/or anything else (I don't know).  I don't use Windows - apart from AutoCAD and one other javascript based program that non-the-less has windows dependancies (!).

David.

 David, Stefan,

Thanks for your help. Directly editing the elog.cfd file worked.

icon5.gif   pre defined Find as Home page, posted by Paraic Fahey on Fri Mar 24 15:36:55 2017 

This command makes the Homepage a FIND page: Start page = ?cmd=Find

My question is: can we pre-populate some of the search fields and execute the search so that the homepage becomes the SEARCH RESULTS
