Trouble on Catalina, posted by John S. Haggerty on Fri Nov 22 02:55:50 2019

I decided to rebuild elog 3.1.4 in Catalina (MacOS 10.15.1), XCode 11.2.1. As in previous builds, I needed to add to the Makefile pointers to openssl:
CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
LIBS += -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
The make builds cleanly, no errors, no warnings. After make/make install, elogd segfaults immediately. I saw the same behavior with the version in gitlab. I kept my (very) old build and was able to make install it without recompiling and it still works.
I'll crack out the debugger when I have a chance to get more information, but has anyone else seen this problem? |
insert screenshots directly to elog?, posted by harley on Wed Feb 3 21:54:41 2010

Elog is excellent!
I apologize for the naive question, but is there a way to insert screenshots directly into elog entries? |
cannot start elog, posted by harley on Thu May 27 22:35:49 2010

I have v2.7.7 of elog running on a OSX system running 10.6 I configured and installed about a year ago. It's a wonderful thing to have.
I acquired another system running 10.6 to dedicate to the elog app. I downloaded 2.7.8 and performed the following steps:
extract tarball in the desired directory
run
tar -xzvf elog-x.x.x.tar
switch to the new elog-x.x.x directory edit Makefile and elogd.cfg files as needed
to create executables
run
make
to create directories & files
run
make install
When I try to execute elog as a daemon:
elogd -c ~vulcanstaff/ELOG-Workspace/elog/elogd.cfg -D
I get the following message:
-bash: elogd: command not found
I'm not understanding why elogd cannot be found. The same message occurs when I try to test the installation with elogd -p 8080 from the sbin directory where elogd is installed.
I'm using the same Makefile and elogd.cfg files that work on the old system. My elogd and elogd.cfg files appear to be in the correct directories indicated in the Makefile:
#############################################################
#
# Directories for installation, modify if needed
#
ifndef PREFIX
PREFIX = ~vulcanstaff/ELOG-Workspace
endif
ifndef MANDIR
MANDIR = $(ROOT)$(PREFIX)/man
endif
ELOGDIR = $(ROOT)$(PREFIX)/elog
DESTDIR = $(ROOT)$(PREFIX)/bin
SDESTDIR = $(ROOT)$(PREFIX)/sbin
RCDIR = $(ROOT)$(PREFIX)/etc/rc.d/init.d
# flag for SSL support
USE_SSL = 1
# flag for crypt() support
USE_CRYPT =
#############################################################
Again, this works on the old system. Perhaps I've looked at it for too long, but I can't figure out what's going on. Assistance is greatly appreciated.

Execute a python command?, posted by harley on Tue Nov 9 19:28:53 2010

Is there a way to add a button to the elog interface which would execute a python command? |

locking entries & auto-submission?, posted by harley on Tue Nov 9 19:36:40 2010
|
We have multiple users for a single elog. Aside from making an entry only editable by the author, is there a way to secure the entry if it is being edited so that only one user may edit a particular entry at one time?
Also, is there a way to auto-submit entries after x minutes?
Your help and support are appreciated.

Drop down search list?, posted by harley skorpenske on Thu Aug 16 15:27:34 2012

I'm having some confusion with configuring my logbook. In the global section of the logbook I have the quick filter enabled, but it is not a drop down list, only an editable text field:
I think it is an attributes issue, but I'm having some trouble making sense of those from the syntax page. Here is my config file:
[global]
port = 8080
usr = vulcanstaff
Max content length = 1073741824
Menu commands = New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Last day, Move to, Copy to, Import, Help
RSS Title = $subject, posted by $author on $entry time
RSS Entries = 10
Quick filter = Date, Subject, Subtext
Use Lock = 1
Reverse sort = 1
Required Attributes = Author, Subject
[Experiment_Logbook]
Theme = default
Comment = Experiment Logbook
Attributes = Author, Author Email, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Other
Options Category = Start Up
Extendable Options =Category
Page Title = $Subject

You get a drop-down list if you define several options for an attribut, like
Options Category = Start Up, Start Down, Other
The you can select one of the categories from the drop-down list.

I forgot to mention - this is for searching the logbook. So would the config file look more like this:
[global]
port = 8080
usr = vulcanstaff
Max content length = 1073741824
Menu commands = New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Last day, Move to, Copy to, Import, Help
RSS Title = $subject, posted by $author on $entry time
RSS Entries = 10
Options Category = Date, Subject, Subtext
Quick filter = Date, Subject, Subtext
Use Lock = 1
Reverse sort = 1
Required Attributes = Author, Subject

I know that this is for searching. But you don't get the point. You have attributes, like Date, Category, Subject. Each attribute can either contain arbitrary text (like the subject), or one of a set of predefined values. So category can be, let's day, "one", "two", "three". You define the possible options of the category with
Options Category = one, two, three
If you then define the quick filter
Quick filter = Category
then you get for the category a drop-down box where you can select "one", "two" or "three". If you do so, elog shows all logbook entries where the category attribute has the selected value.
I hope that this is clearer now.

Thanks Stefan, I think I understand, and now I see the options definition on the syntax page. I apologize for taking up your time and thank you for the great software. I think this is right now:
Options Search = Date, Subject, Subtext
Quick filter = Search |
