 | Kevin McCarty | kmccarty@princeton.edu | Request | All | 2.6.1 | Feature request - site-specific ELCode markup definitions | Hi,
Here's a suggestion that you may or may not want to apply. It would be nice if there existed a config file (or a syntax in the existing elog.cfg file) that permitted sites to define their own ELCode patterns.
Let me give you a usage case. I thought it would be nice to have LaTeX expressions show up automatically on my group's ELog installation if they entered them like this: [math]x^2 + y^2 = r_0^2[/math] So in the source code file elogd.c, I hacked in the following additions to the definition of pattern_list[]:
{"[math]", "<img src = \"http://borex.princeton.edu/mimetex?"},
{"[/math]", "\" border = \"0\" align = \"absmiddle\" />"},
and recompiled ELog.
What this does is convert the LaTeX expression into a URL that uses the "mimetex" CGI program installed on my server to output a GIF file of the equation. So my users can have inline math expressions in their log entries, like this:  . Obviously this is far too site-specific to be added to the official ELog code (unless you want to embed mimetex code into the server, which I kind of doubt  ). But it would be nice if I could specify these patterns in a config file without having to edit the source code and recompile each time I want to install a new ELog version!
Presumably others could find a use for site-specific ELCode markup too (logos, custom smilies, etc.)
Thanks for your time. |

I've just set up an ELog server for my research group. (Running on Debian, package version 2.6.1+r1642-1)
I have a question about the email notifications. I read through the config file documentation, but couldn't find the answer (maybe I am just unobservant\?) Is it possible to have the email notifications contain only the title of the log entry (as well as the usual attributes), but not the full text or any attachments? I have users who are worried about their email going over quota from ELog's emails, but who nevertheless would like some kind of notification when new log entries are posted.
Thanks in advance! |
Have a look at the option Email format = <n> |
Ah, thank you! Somehow I overlooked that. My apologies, and thanks for your very fast response. |

 | Ed To | eto@arc.nasa.gov | Question | Windows | 2.6.1 | Display legal banner | Hi,
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?
Thank you for your help.
Ed. |

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. |

| Mark Bergman | mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu | Request | Linux | 2.6.1 | add field type to automatically email CC | I've got logbooks where I'm submitting entries on behalf of other users, or where other people should be notified of the ticket. This isn't a fixed list of people, and shouldn't be hard-coded into a config file. I've got a field to enter the user's e-mail address, but there's no action associated with that data.
I'd like to see a new field type that allows the entry of e-mail addresses, where each addresses supplied with the logfile entry would be automatically "CC'ed" in the notification e-mail. Ideally, people on the CC list would be (optionally) CC'ed when there are replies or edits to the original elog entry.
For example (snippet of fictional elogd.cfg):
-------------------------------
[web site]
Welcome Title = Issues regarding the web site
MOptions Category = Add links, Change content, Broken Link, Other
CCMailTo = Notification List
Attributes = Author, Category, Severity, Subject, Entry ID, Status, User, Login
Extendable Attributes = Category, Severity, Subject, Status, User, Login, Notification List
Required Attributes = Category, Subject, Status, User
------------------------------- |

 | Gerald Ebberink | g.h.p.ebberink@nclr.nl | Question | Linux | 2.6.1 | restrict access | Dear all,
I am trying to get elog used in our company but I need some help.
I have two small questions:
-1- how can I restrict the access
of a certain user such that he can only see certain logbooks.
But also not showing the other logbooks on the selection page.
So we could have a tree like this:
Stage one
|
|->Stage 2
|
|
/ \
| |
Co1 Co2
/ \
job job
So when Co1 logs in the should not be able to see Co2 and the attached job
-2- How can I have a login page instead of the logbook selection page.
When I insert the password statement the config, I get a blank page. |
