I can think of two reasons why you don't see a change:

1) You modified the wrong file. The elog.css file is under elog/themes/default/elog.css. If you "install" elog, it might go into your installation directory. So check if you have more than one file with this name.

2) After the change, you did not reload the page in your browser.

Try to request the file directly in your browser with <url to elog>/logbook/elog.css then you will see the actual file your browser is using. Make sure your modification is present there.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your prompt follow up.  I did try commenting of the width statement for listtitle2 and also reducing it to 40% but it did not work.  I restarted elogd daemon and I don't see the columns changing.  I also tried putting a percentage number (40%) for listtitle1 just to try and no change either.  Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

You can't directly change individual columns, but you can reduce the "Text" column. This is done in themes/default/elog.css. Search for "listtitle2" and change or remove the line "width:100%". This makes the text column narrower, leaving more space for the subject column.

I'm trying to expand the Subject column, when viewing in summary mode, and couldn't find any documentation for it.  Is this possible and if so, how would I do it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Stefan,

I have only one elog.css file in the default directory and the installation path is the same one that I'm using. Basically, I'm using off of the installed path.  I also tried, modifying the file and calling it elog_mod.css and then specified CSS=<path>/elog_mod.css and started the server again.  I did not see any changes.  Is there something else I'm missing here.

Thanks.

So I have posted a picture to explain better my question.
So could it be possible to have the index page always expanded ?
thanks for answers.

I added a new configuration option "Expand selection page" which defaults to
one. So if nothing is changed in the configuration file, the logbook selection
page is expanded by default. Only if one has very many logbooks and wants back
the old behaviour, one has to add "Expand selection page = 0" in the config
file. The new version is under CVS.

While it is not possible to specify a number of characters per row, you can control the number of text lines in the summary view using the
Summary lines = NNN
directive (cf. also the ELog admin guide).

 Hi,

My email configuration is a little complicated as all emails must be relayed to a central server with TLS authentication. 

So far I've been unable to get the ELOG to work with email, after numerous attempts .  I have got exim4 working on this machine but I don't understand how the elog sends emails well enough, to configure it to recognise and use exim4.  Setting localhost/ my domain/ IP  (and variations) under 'smtp host' doesn't work. (cannot connect to server)

The most interesting error I have been able to get is:

"AUTH command used when not advertised"

or

"Unrecognized authentication type"

Any advice?

 

Not much. ELOG uses plain SMTP to port 25, but does not support TLS internally. From your error messages above it looks like exim4 (which I never used) uses a different authentication scheme than ELOG supports. ELOG dos a "AUTH LOGIN" which is described for example here:

http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smtpauth.html

Maybe you can try authentication completely off (remove "SMTP username" from elogd.cfg) ?

Sorry -- I somehow selected the wrong OS in my original message. Asleep at the wheel again.

Greetings!

We've been successfully running nearly a dozen separate logbooks on independent laptops -- all of them are running elogd as a Windows service. This works well, since I've also set up auto recovery options in the event that the service inadvertently stops.

Now, I have a need to place the value of an attribute of the latest log entry into a basic text file.  Of course, this works just fine if I have launched elogd -x as a normal executable, using
Execute new = echo $Status > Last_status.log in my CFG file.  However, I would like to be able to do this using the Windows service which is running in the background. 

Is there another way to write the value of an attribute into a separate file?  If not, do I have to have a special build of ELOG in order to be able to enable the Windows service to execute shell commands?  For the record, these logbooks are running on secure laptops that are isolated onto their own network, and the user is unable to edit the CFG file.

In case you're wondering about the reason for the separate text file -- I've written a separate program which illuminates one of 4 different color signal lamps (mounted on a test station), based on the latest "Status" of the test station. (Running, Idle, Broken, Other).

I appreciate any guidance here -- this is a "big deal" here, as one glance over the floor gives us an idea of what's running (or not).

Thanks!
Frank
