Yes, I saw it on bitbucket, also all the commits. Thanks!

Hi Stefan,
I am happy to see that you include the webserver authentication.
So I can now login at some other page and then access elog.
However, I would also need some means of logging out some where else.
For this I propose a new Configuration option "Logout to page" which redirects to another page if set and "Logout to main" is 0.
See the attached patch (against git HEAD)
Does this make sense to you ?
Christof
PS: Many thanks for the autosave mode, I already used it ;-)

Hi,
I use an older version of elog, but
Preset Author = $short_name <$long_name>
works for me.
One thing to note is that I also have :
Self register = 1
So at first login, the user has to type in his name and email adress,
maybe that's why you got "Anonymous". (Otherwise the variable $shortname etc. are not set.)
HTH,
Christof |

No, I'm also using the webserver authentication.
May I ask why you think "password" auth is required ?
The elog has an internal userdatabase with longname, shortname, email etc.
Even if you are authenticated via the webserver, you also have to have an entry in that userdatabase.
This entry has to be created by the user who is allowed to get into elog by the webserver.
Thus, the Self register option.
Bests,
Christof |

Sorry, I just double-checked, this userdatabase, I was talking about is the Password-file...
Please try the following snippet :
allow password change = 0
Authentication = Webserver, File
Preset Author = $short_name <$long_name>
Locked Attributes = Author
Password file = PASSWD.file

German language, posted by Salvatore on Sat Mar 1 14:47:27 2008

In der Config-Datei habe ich den Eintrag "language = german" vorgenommen. Was unter Windows funktioniert, verweigert mir Linux: Die Umstellung des Logs auf Deutsch. Wer kann helfen?

Wen es interessiert:
der Eintrag "eloglang = german" gehoert in das Verzeichnis "usr/lib/elog/resources". Dort wird er von elogd ausgelesen.

Das kann drei Ursachen haben:
1) Die Installation under Linux ist nicht vollstaendig. Die Datei resources/eloglang.german muss vorhanden und von elogd lesbar sein
2) Der linux-daemon braucht ein Neustart nach jeder Aenderung der Sprache
3) Nochmal ueberpruefen, ob der Eintrag "language = german" auch wirklich vorhanden im richtigen config file ist.

Report Generating Tool?, posted by Hal Goldfarb on Mon May 21 09:41:57 2018
|
Has anyone developed a report tool for elog? I would like to be able to sort certain items and send them to either a printer, or an email (external to my own use).
If not, any ideas on an easy means of doing this? I write a lot of Perl, so that would be an option for me if the text is easily obtained.
Thanks |

I don't see an "export" option in the documentation, only "import." Printing the web page is probably not what I want.

Switch to the "summary" display (try it with this forum). You get headers (like "category"). Clicking on it sorts by that attribute. Then display "all" entries, or use the "find" option to search in certain time periods, then just print the web page.
Alternatively, expeort logbook entries as CSV files, load them into a spreadsheet program, and do the sorting and printing there.
