Re: "No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file"

These problems usually come when you are using a different configuration file that the one you think you are using. Note that you explicitly can tell elogd to use a specific configuation file with the "-c" flag. Also make sure to restart elogd after major changes.

Hi,

I started re-using after a month an elog on my linux machine and, without any apparent reason since I did not used the machine at all in the last month, every time I try to submit a post I get the following error

"No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file".

The weird thing is that today I created a new logbook using the previous one as a template and, on the new one, I can post without problem (although the configuration is identical).

Do you know what could be causing this?

Re: Elog crashing at random intervals

Never mind, version from github solved issue.

Re: Opening a Local File using <a href="file:///../filename.doc">text</a>

Linking to external files via "file:///..." is a bad idea, since only a pointer is stored in the elog. So if someone puts somehing on M: and the drive is removed, the file is physically gone. No way to retrieve it. Instead of puttting links to files, users should get trained to ATTACH the files to elog cntries (V3 of elog has a "Drop attachments here..." section. Only then the files are physically transferred into elog and accessible independed of your external memory stick.

The problem we have is some people work off of site and hence they run everything from a memory stick (USB drive), then once back in the office, copy the memory stick back on to the network.

Unfortunately when off of site the href link M: is no longer valid as the M drive doesn't exist.

Hence i've been trying to open a local file with the following syntax:

It just won't open

Hence in my frustration i basically copied the word file ABC123.doc into every single directory on the memory stick thinking surely this must work, it must find it somewhere, unfortunately not.

Re: Opening a Local File using <a href="file:///../filename.doc">text</a>

Hi Stefan

Unfortunately this would become impractical for us as many of the test data files which we'd need to link too are Gb's in size, some over 100Gb, hence only the files needed to do a say an inspection of the equipment would be copied onto memory sticks. Currently we use an excel speadsheet to store hyperlinks to all of the files / directories we need - unfortunately some people forget to update this and it was asked could we do it using elog as people are familiar with this wonderful peice of software.

Hence why i'm now investigating - so is it actually posible?

Kind regards

Re: Opening a Local File using <a href="file:///../filename.doc">text</a>

If a file is on a memorystick and the memorystick is gone, how could elog bring it back? What you ask for is magic, sorry for that. Also if you move files outiside elog from one folder (drive) to anohter. How shoudl elog keep track of these files if they are outside? If your colleague moves some piece of equipment from A to B, without telling you, how can you guess where B is?

Re: How can change the justification of a column?

You can do that chaning the CSS of the underlying theme. But you need some experience with CSS.

Right now Elog treats each colum of a list as centered,

thank you

Re: How can change the justification of a column?

I need to set text-align:left but only for an attribute in the List mode, For example, say that FirstName column must be left justified in list view. What is the name of the cell content in the default elog.css?

Re: Opening a Local File using <a href="file:///../filename.doc">text</a>

Hi Terry,

I'm not really sure I understand the question; I'll try to rephrase how I understood it.

You have loads of measurement data. All this data is stored not in ELOG but in a common drive M:.

When people work off-site, they copy the ELOG data and all the measurement data they need to a memory stick and run ELOG from there.

But the now copied links in ELOG still point to the M: drive, but they should instead now point to the local memory stick.

Did I understand that correctly?

It is a feature of the browser, that it does not allow a relative path in URLs with the "file:" protocol. Relative to what should it be? To where the browser has been started from? The browser does not know where ELOG resides.

If I understood the problem correctly, then I see several options:

1) Under Linux I would create a symblic link like "/mnt/measurementdata/" that points at work to "file:///M:/Data/" and off-site to the drive on the memory stick.

In the ELOG entries I would only use this symbolic link "/mnt/measurementdata/Inspection%20Reports/ABC123.doc".

This should somehow be possible with Windows, too. See e.g. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363878%28v=vs.85%29.aspx . But I'm not a Windows expert.

2) You write a little "Copy ELOG and dataset" script, that will copy all desired files to the memory stick and changes all references to the copied datasets to the new location.

This is very easy to do for any programmer, since one need only do a text-search-and-replace on the ELOG text-files, like:

replace "file:///M:/Data/" with ""file:///F:/Data/" in all *a.log.

3) You might even convince Windows to mount your memory stick as drive "M:". Just copy then the full path to the memory stick: problem solved!

Drive "M:" will rarely ever be defined already on your remote computer. I know that this was possible with Windows NT, I have no idea if this works with Windows 10. Ask google ;-)

I hope that helped?

Cheers, Andreas
