 | Yoshio Imai | | Request | Linux | 2.6.4-1795 | Multiple ideas for multiple logbooks | Hi!
After a long pause, here we are again with a bunch of new ideas (and problems ...;) )
1. Multiple login
Since we are using the elog system now for most aspects of our work, we are more and more often confronted with the need to work with different logbooks open in parallel (e.g. the shift logbook as well as the personal analysis logbook, via tabbed browsing). These logbooks do not always have the same users allowed to access them, so when having logged on to one logbook and then opening another one in a different browser tab, I have to log on as a different user, thereby losing the login on the first logbook. Is there any way to change the cookie structure so as to allow one (physical) user to be logged on as more than one elog user at a time?
2. <Ctrl-T>
While using this logbook (and tabbed browsing), I noticed that the keyboard shortcut <Ctrl-T> now leads to the creation of a table (great thing, btw). However, many of our users are accustomed to this shortcut opening a new browser Tab. Is there any way to disable these elog shortcuts or otherwise disentangle these functions (by using <Alt> instead of <Ctrl> or something similar, since the functionality itself is very good)?
Thanks for any idea on these issues, and thanks for the great software! |

Well, restructuring the cookies would be rather work intensive. Right now we have one user name cookie unm
used for all logbooks. To distinguish betwen logbooks, one would need cookies in the form <logbook name>_unm and <logbook name>_upwd. Let me think about.

Well, you didn't realize, but you were my beta-tester for the keyboard shortcuts  . I didn't yet publish it, so you must have gotten this brand new feature from SVN. I'm still fine-tuning shortcuts. I realized that CTRL-C which I used for CODE is normally used for Copy/Paste, so I changed that already to CTRL-O to free up CTRL-C. Since tables are not so often used, I removed it now completely. There is also CTRL-P for Preview and CTRL-ENTER for Submit. While this works now nice on Mozilla based browsers, I cannot intercept CTRL keys on IE. I know you and I don't care, but many people unfortunately do. So get the SVN update, and let me know what you think, if there is still something to be modified before I make the official release. |

Actually this is not a good idea. Most people I know have several logbooks, but a common password file. Access control is then fine-tuned via 'Login user = ...'. Now if I implement a per-logbook cookie, these people would have to log in once for each logbook. If the go to a new browser which does not contain their old cookies, or if the cookies expire, they would have to log in again once for each logbook. On installations with 20 and more logbooks this can be cumbersome. So all these people would complain. |

Actually there is a way, but I completely forgot about that. The manual says:
| ELOG manual wrote: |
If any of the password statements are in the [global] area of the configuration files, they are used for all logbooks. If one logs in at one logbook, access is automaticlly granted to all logbooks. If the password statements are in the individual logbook sections, one has to log in to each logbook separately. |
That should help. Just put the password file = ... into the individual logbook sections, and you should get what you want. You can check this by inspecting the cookies (first you have to delete all cookies in your browser). With passoword files for individual logbooks you should see an associated Path for each logbook, so the login cookie only gets submitted to that logbook, allowing differnt user names/passwords for different logbooks. |

... and it works! Thank you!

That works now, too!
| Stefan Ritt wrote: | | Your other problem of ignoring the control keys at all I could not reproduce. Try to reproduce it in a well-defined way and let me know. |
I will try to do that (new beamtime, new occasions ...  ).
| Stefan Ritt wrote: | | Maybe you used a userlist attribute for the author? |
No, I didn't. I will try to investigate this further and let you know if I find anything.
So for the moment ... thanks for the help! |

 | marion | marion@spiderweb.com.au | Question | Windows | 2.6.4-1795 | HOW TO change http://localhost:8080/ to an address where users can access? | hi folks
thankyou for your time
have read the user docs
and admin docs
and faqs
i used the latest windows installer to have the script runner as a server on windows
BTW i have been looking for over 3 years for this sort of thing - so i had given up for the i would say, i have looked at over 120 scripts and progs for possibilites - could this really be it?
i have managed to make another logfile using the config example
from stev ritt accelerator logbook
with a slight variation (changed file attached)as i could not make the original work for me as i do not know what i am doing.
i placed this in the demo config, underneath the code that was already there ie
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
I REPLACED BELOW CODE
; use user level password access
Password file = passwd
Login expiration = 1000
Admin user = ritt
Self register = 1
WITH THIS CODE
; use user level password access
Password file = XXXXXX
Login expiration = 1000
Admin user = XXXXXX
Self register = 1
==============================================
MY QUESTION:
HOW do i change the automated address http://localhost:8080/ to an address where users can access?
or do i tell them the address is http://localhost:8080/ - somehow i think that is not going to work for them even though it does for me.
my address is
http://organicparents.org |

If you run elog on the machine which has the internet address organicparents.org, then you will be able to access elog under http://organicparents.org:8080, given that your firewall allows this access from outside. |
