icon5.gif   Change in encoding close entry, posted by Holger Mundhahs on Mon Apr 3 10:32:45 2006 
Maybe it is a wrong configuration, because in this forum it works well.
If I change the encoding in the logbook entry I get "Submit modified ELOG entry?",
and after clicking OK the entry is closed. Because this behavior is on all loggbooks
it must be a global config entry, but I dont know, which.
Here is the GLOBAL section:

Expand Selection page = 1
URL = http://sapelogs/
Date Format = %d.%m.%Y
Time Format = %d.%m.%Y %H:%M
Reverse Sort = 1
Menu commands = New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Download, Find, Last day, Last 10, Select, Copy to, Config, Admin, 
Login, Logout, Help

Logout

OK, it seems, that the last part of the Use Lock documentation is the explanation:
----
If someone edits an entry, but then goes away from that page or closes the browser without submitting the 
changes, a pop-up window appears asking the user to submit the changed entry. Although this works for most 
browsers in most cases, it could be that Javascript has been turned off in a browser, in which case the stale 
locks still might appear.
---
So if I switch the encoding the whole entry is reloaded, and the JS take it as leaving.
Is it possible to change this behavior? Changing encoding should be handled different as
"regular" leaving.

Additional information:
If you have set Use Lock = 1 you can't switch the encoding on a NEW entry.
The new entry is closed w/o saving. To prevent this you must input any data,
after them you can save the NEW entry with the PopUp-OK. But there can't be 
anyone else on a new entry?
icon5.gif   Change / List Change doen't work anymore?, posted by Holger Mundhahs on Thu Sep 17 15:52:36 2009 
Hello @all,

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but after upgradeing from 2.7.0 to 2.7.7 the Change <attribute> and List Change <attribute> doesn't work anymore. In my .cfg file I've:

Quote:
Change RIB-http = <a href="https://$RIB-Hostname/" target="_new">RIB-Board</a>
List Change RIB-http = <a href="https://$RIB-Hostname/" target="_new">RIB-Board</a>


In the old ELOG version I've "RIB-Board" as text in the page and the link works well. But now there is the following code generated:

Quote:
<tr><td nowrap class="attribname">RIB-http:</td><td class="attribvalue">
&lt;a href="<a href="https://RIB-COMPUTER/">https://RIB-COMPUTER/</a>" target="_new"&gt;RIB-Board&lt;/a&gt;&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

Is the syntax changed from 2.7.0 to 2.7.7? What's the correct syntax for 2.7.7?

Best regards
Holger
icon1.gif   SSL does not work, posted by Hisataka YOSHIDA on Fri Jun 5 03:49:20 2020 

Hello.

I installed the latest elog (3.1.4-2) in CentOS 7, and it is working well without SSL.
When I enalbled SSL option (SSL = 1) in the "elogd.cfg", and tried to start the elogd, the message below was shown and failed to run.

SSL support not compiled into elogd

If I switched the elog to older one (3.1.4-1), I could successeed to run the elogd with SSL option.
Is there any other option required in the latest elog to run with SSL? Or is this bug in the latest version?

Thank you,
Hisataka YOSHIDA

Dear Stefan,

Thank you for your comment. I successfuly compiled the latest elog from source code, and now elogd could work with SSL.

In fact, I reported the case of installation with rpm file. Maybe, the latest elog rpm doesn't support SSL, I guess.
The installtion with rpm file is easier to build the common environment, so I hope the next rpm will support the SSL.

best regards,
Hisataka YOSHIDA

When you compile elog from the soruces, you need the OpenSSL library to be installed. The CMake build process will then find it and include it in the compile process. When you use the "make" build process, you have to make sure that SSL is enabled there:

USE_SSL = 1

To install the OpenSSL library, you can do on most systems something like "sudo yum install openssl-dev" or "sudo apt-get install openssl-dev"

Dear experts,

I am trying to use ELOG for my projects which we want to record every daily activities.
I have successful installed the ELOG to the computer (Windows10 -64 bit).
However, I don't know how to make it public or online, that people can access it from their computers.
I am a very newer to the ELOG.
Could you help me on it, please?

Best regards,
Hien.

Dear Sebastian,

Thank you very much for the instruction.
I am able to make the elog to the network.

Best regards,
Hien.

Dear Hien,

your problem is more general the question, how to get the elog to the network.

You have to open the port on your system to the network.
I would suggest to google "open port for webserver on windows".
As right now I would just do the same and follow a tutorial.
A remark here: elog by default runs at port 8080, if you haven't changed this, this is the port you should be opening to the network.

If the elog can be accessed in the local network and you want to open it to the whole internet,
then you need to configure your router/gateway/(company) firewall to allow forwarding of the port of the elog.
I can't give you tips here, at this is very user specific.

An other remark, i would suggest (for a productive environment) to use user authentication in the elog to restrict access.
If you do this, then you also should use https reverse proxy or have a read in the SSL section of the elog documentation.
As http only would transmit the credentials in plain text.

I hope, I could give you a route, what your next steps could be.
Best wishes,
Sebastian

icon5.gif   Is there a way to limit users to view only the entries they have created?, posted by Herman Sherman on Mon Sep 8 23:17:59 2008 

We are using elog to allow users to enter their time spent on a project and we would like them to be able to see the entries that they themselves have

created but not the entries that other users have created.

Thanks,

Herman
