I read somewhere that javascript is supported with elog. For legal reasons, I have to post a legal banner before the login prompt. Can you tell me how to do this? I'm not a programmer, but I guess I could use the javascript alert command to do this. What file would I need to change?


Unfortunately it was not possible to do that for the login page, so I had to add a new option Bottom text login which I implemented just now. You can now indeed use the alert command to do what you want, like

in elog.cfg:
Bottom text login = alert.html

and in alert.html:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
  alert("Hello world");
//-->
</script>

or whatever legal statement you have to make.

The new version can be downloaded as elog261-5.exe from the home page.


Wow, I wasn't expecting that quick of a response. Thanks Stefan. BTW, I really like elog. It's simple to setup and use. Keep up the good work.

I have some problem with email notification
for some logbooks I would like to notify only to specific adress
I try
Email All = adress1, adress2

but also to all of other users ?
how to restric these only to 'adress1 and adress2 ?

is it possible to notify according to attribue value like

Attributes = Test1, Test2
Email All = $Test1

or concatenation of  $Test1 + '@mba.be' for example

Thanks

2600 entries is too much for this application as it load the all files 
in computer memory
expand the server memory
Are you running on linux or Windows ? I suggest linux (faster)
We are working on the C source to move all data from flat to database like 
SQL or mysql
when a parameter flag like 'status' = "OK" for instance
I suggest also to split in several logbook
but this is depend on your 'ELOG' parametrisation and logics

If your data are not 'sensitive' I can check on my linux server

  185   Mon Jan 6 19:53:28 2003 Warning Etienne Van Caillieetienne.vancaillie@mba.beBug report  security in find option as a guest
if you are guest in the find option  

select 'all logbook'

it will display all 'attributes' from other logbook 
with no option  'guest command ...'
but having the same 'attribute' name

Solution :
**********
I use the copy to command to make a copy to other logbook
with option 'guest command' enabled

in this section I remove some field so the guest user can't no see all field

I suggest to give acces to 'guest' on a second run of elog to another
port or other computer ?

may be add a parameter

Restrict Search all logboog = 1 or 0
if 1 the switch will not appear

not really a bug
works very fine just remarks : with this example
Group Phone & Adress = Whois, Qui_est_Qui
Group Extranet = Aide, Promos_Clients, Qui_est_Qui, Joke

[whois] is a intranet section for us : [qui_est_qui] is public
I add   'copy to = Qui_est_qui' 
so extranet or public can acces to limited information
just remove the attributes and guest user can see only limited info
see example below

small problem : 
****************
Logbook Tabs = 0  in the guest logbook will close the group header
may be create a parameter to solve ?
GroupGuest Extranet = ....

;--------------------  intranet info----------------
[Whois]
Comment = MBA & his Partner all your personal info must be here
Subdir = whoiswho
Menu commands = Back, New, Edit, Find, Help, Copy to
