Well, don't shoot yourself in the foot! The communication between elog and elogd is limited. elog
more or less submits "blindly" whatever you give it on the command line. If "Fixed Attributes
Edit/Reply" is set in the configuration, this only affects the web page with the entry form, so
these attributes are not shown as edit boxes. They are not checked during submission by elogd. Now
to get the same functionality with elog, elog whould have to retrieve the full entry form, analyze
the HTML code, find out which attributes have edit boxes and which ones not. So that's a lot of
work. Since most people use elog in scripts, they set it up once and forever correctly. There are
actually a few people which even want the functionality that elog can change attributes which are
normally fixed.

Okidokie. May I then humbly suggest to mention this in the documentation of the elog command client?

I did modify it already, see http://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html at the bottom.

I have a similar problem. I am using Windows version, and whenever I use the elog client to send entry, it will not take with MOptions set. I usually have 2 attributes required (both MOptions), and I get the message that it is missing a required attribute. When I use ROptions, or Options, it works fine. Is there a problem with MOptions, or am I perhaps using a badly formatted commandline?

Commandline as follows: C:\elog>elog -h IP_ADR -p 80 -l gbld -u username password -a Type=Other -a Operator=SCADA -a Category=Controls -a Subject=Alarm "Please ignore."

Type and Category are required and MOptions.

Below is the pertinent part of the config file:

;***** Attribute Section
Attributes = Log Date, Operator, Type, Category, Engine, Work Order #, EPN, Fuel Tank 1 (A&B), Fuel Tank 2 (C&D), Engine Hours Stop, Engine Hours Start, Email To, Subject

Comment EPN = (Equipment Piece Number)
Comment Fuel Tank 1 (A&B) = (West)
Comment Fuel Tank 2 (C&D) = (East)

MOptions Type = Alarm, Trouble, ESP, Haz. Wx.,Problem, PM, Routine, Load Test, Other
MOptions Category = Engine, Generator, Controls, Fuel, Oil, HV Switchgear, MLG&W, Other
Options Engine = All, 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 1C, 2C, 3C, 4C, 5C, 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, A Bus, B Bus, C Bus, D Bus, A&B Busses, C&D Busses, West Gen (001), East Gen (002)

Required Attributes = Type, Category, Subject

If time permits, I would appreciate any help possible.

BTW, I like the additional elcode.

I just noticed in the changelog that my apparent problem with MOptions may have been fixed. I will try a newer version and see if it works.

It did.

Keep up the good work.

Top groups should use separate password files, otherwise things can mess up.

We're running elogd behind an apache proxy server, with Authentication = Webserver. We have top groups configured, but a single shared password file.

If a user is looking at a particular logbook and goes to the Config link, they are presented with a list of checkboxes for email subscription to logbooks in that top group.  Clicking "Save" will remove all email subscriptions from all other top groups.

Is there a workaround to this issue?

EDIT: Manually adding an entry for different logbooks in the password file gets clobbered the next time the user logs in.

Hi,

I have two problems:

1) With the configuration below, I can't set the Author attribute to be the author of the reply. As written, it gives the Author field as blank. If the Remove on Reply line is removed, it is set to the parent's author. What am I doing wrong?

Subst on reply Author = $long_name
