Hi,

I am new to eLog, trying to make a logbook tool.  This is probably a question with a simple answer, but here it is...  I need to be able to edit the entry time for an entry as it is being made and also in Edit mode later.  We have field staff who use a paper log in the field and then come back to the computer later and create the log entries, and they need to be time stamped to reflect when an event happened, not when the entry is put into the log.

I'm guessing I'm missing something easy in my Config file, I've looked through the config examples and searched the forum but I couldn't come up with an example of how to make this work.

Thanks in advance!

Jay

Hi Jay,

the entry time cannot be changed, because it should reflect the real time when the entry was made. What you can do in your case is to define a "datetime" attribute, which contains then the time stamp. You need something like this:

Attributes = Author, Field time, Subject

Type Field time = datetime

... 

 Hi, Stefan,

Thanks for the quick reply, I've added that to my config and it does what we need.

Cheers, Jay

First thanks for the great software! My only question would be how to implement audit trail feature. I know you can control who edits and that's great but in regulated environments like mine there's a requirement that the original record, the one edited, is not deleted or overwritten. If not possible right now the only thing I could think of is a mechanism, maybe possible thru configuration, that when the record is edited it is copied to an audit trail logbook (i.e. if logbook name is 'test' it's audit logbook will be named 'test-audit' which is read only) and have a link to the audit trail of the record (show only changes of the current record).

 

I'm more than aware that it's possible thru configuration but I'm short on that dept. Any help/idea?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

The elog security suits me just fine: the content is not available unless users have logged in, and as administrator I have complete control over who that is and what their privileges are. I can easily share somewhat sensitive notes, plots, and findings without making them completely open to the world. 

I have a project which generates html pages, which I'm also not really supposed to make public to the world.  I'd rather not resort to attaching them to elog entries.

Could the elog security be extended to control access to other files I put on the server? 

Thanks,

Forgive me I'm not incredibly Elog savy yet.

A little backround about this log book -  I have our log set up as individual user names.  The log book is designed for entrys to be made when a process shutdown needs to be bypassed.  The operator will create an entry and submit it.  Then a supervisor will come in after and review/approve it.  I've removed the edit function,  but left the "Reply" option available for the supervisor to go into the same entry and check off the "Reviewed" attribute.  When the reviewed attribute is checked off, even with a different logged in author the next entry ID still shows the original author that put in the entry rather then the author who clicked reviewed.  If there a way to get around this?

The following error occured during the addition of new user, first time this occured:

"Cannot send email notification to "xxx@xxx.com" Sender address rejected: Domain not found

Please use your browser's back button to go back

 

We are using version 2.7.1-2002. Could this be a version issue? When we loaded the new version, the browser GUI was scrambled and illegible using Microsoft Edge/Explorer and Firefox.

  1595   Tue Jan 17 01:01:05 2006 Question Jason Koglinkoglin@astro.columbia.eduQuestion V2.6.0localhost definition problem
I've been running elog on my laptop for about a year. I have had a problem several times now when I have had a bad crash of my computer that afterwards elog does not run correctly. The problem appears to be that "localhost" (e.g., http://localhost:8080/) gets changed to a domain name (http://sylvester.columbia.edu:8080/) which is not registered. I only want it to access this elog database locally on my machine and do not even want to set it up as a web server.

I freshly installed it and when I type in http://localhost:8080/ it sends me to http://localhost:8080/demo/ . If I click on the first and only entry it sends me to http://sylvester.columbia.edu:8080/demo/1 and an error occurs loading the page. However if I type in http://localhost:8080/demo/1 it brings up the first entry correctly, but with no formatting because presumably it is looking in the wrong place for the default theme.

How do I fix this since this time reinstalling and rebooting hasn't fixed the problem?

Thanks,

Jason.
