Hi everybody,

I am trying to setup my personal ELog, defining attributes and stuff like that. I just tried to make some nested commands but I really could not achieve that. 

The idea is something like this:

Attributes = Author

Options Author = Tizio{1}, Caio{2}, Sempronio{3}

{1} Attributes = Author, Project

{1} Options Project = Proj1{a}, Proj2{b}, Proj3{c}

{a} Attributes = Author, Project, Year

{a} Options Year = 2017, 2019

Anyway, when I select Proj1 nothing really happens. So, is there any way to set up nested commands like in the reported example?

Many thanks in advance!

P.S. Is there any documentation in which are reported all the possible commands that can be used?   

Atrributes can only be defined once in a logbook.
But you can select which attributes are shown with the commands:

• Show Attributes = <list>
  Attributes present in this list are shown in the single entry page. Omitting attributes can make sense for attributes which are automatically derived from other attributes via the Change <attribute> command.
• Show Attributes Edit = <list>
  The same as Show Attributes, but for the entry form.

Those can be redifined in conditional attribute clauses.

(See https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html)

Newby/noob Q: anybody have a resource other then the orignal doc on how to get ELog working using the domain users/passwords with a Win2K19 AD ?

thanks

Hi,

I'm getting the TEXTSIZE TOO BIG message every time I have more text in my entry.  I understand there is a way to increase the TEXTSIZE and re-compile.  Where can I find the TEXTSIZE parameter that I can increase and also how do I re-compile.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.
Illam

Hi,  any help will be appreciated on this.  I have not still figured this out.

Thanks.
Illam

Hi Illam,

You can find it in src/elogd.h, #define TEXT_SIZE  250000, the original value 250000, you can change it to a larger one like #define TEXT_SIZE    1000000. Then recompile it again, just need typing "make". Elog Version is 3.1.3 in my site. HTH.

Cheers,

Xuan Wu

Hi Xuan,

Sorry for the delayed response.  I just got back from my travel.  I tried your solution, but in my system I don't see elogd.h in the src folder.  Here is what I see and also I don't see any "make" binary in the folders.  I'm running the Windows version.

Thanks.

Hello,

I would like to utilize the "New Entries" button on the quick filter bar, but it dates back to 1969.  Is there a way to customize this or fix it?

I have an issue where not all users are able to log into their sessions and they are still settling on the login page

A new version 3.1.5 of elog has been released with all accumulated fixes over the past actually few years. I made a tar file, a RPM, but I could not compile yet a windows version.

Best,
Stefan

Looking forward to the windows installer. 

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

cheers,

toto

Hi Stefan

Is there anything the community or forum can help you with or supply for creating a windows version?

Kind Regards Finn

Hi,

It's possible to build elogd under windows with cygwin, but not sure that is the best as it requires a lot of dependencies that should be included to dist package to be runnable everywhere.

After

• installation of dependencies (gcc-g++, make, libssl1.1, libssl-devel, opendlap-devel, libopenldap2, libkrb5-devel, libkrb5_3) using CygWin setup program,
• instalkation of git tool and clone the git repo (git clone https://bitbucket.org/ritt/elog --recursive),
• modification of Makefile to build with Kerberos/ldap/ssl support,

from cygwin bash under Windows 11, you can build elog :

Hi Laurent

It is possible to use the attached but the elogd will not start as a service anymore - is there a fix to that aswell?

Hello,

After enabling SSL=1 in /usr/loca/elog/elogd.cfg file, HTML editor loading very long. 

After changing SSL to 0, everything work flawlessly.

Does anyone know what can cause this behaviour?

Hello,

I created new certificate, but it doesn't help with resolving this problem.

Does someone have and idea how to resolve it?

Hello,

I found that someone else had the same issue - https://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/10874#no1

In Firefox I do not have problems, but in Chrome and Edge i have. 

His solution was:

My problem is solved. The .htaccess file sents any request to the login page. Therefore CKEditor could not reach the CSS file. Thanks for helping!

Sinse I don't use apache webserver, I don't know what should I do. 

It looks that also in my case problem is with file progressjs.min.css (please look at attached screenshot)

Anyone have solution for this?

Best Regards

Daniel
