Hi,

I have just discovered elog and I absolutely love it.

I have a question. Is there a way to enable user to view only, not post/delete in my elog. Also I would like to allow them to view only certain categories of my messages.

Regards,

Denis

Hi All,

Perhaps a trivial question but some issues have arisen accessing my long-running elog with SSL enabled.  I suspect firewalls and browser updates are involved and I do not have the time or experience to diagnose and debug such a potential black-hole of difficulties.  Instead I am looking for a quick fix, and the first step - switching off sll - seems to work.  Now I would like to use redirect so that the elog is running under apache, however this is where I have stumbled; I have passwords so the plan is to eventually secure using apache.  Apache works fine and is running pages on ports 80 and 443, although I seem unable to redirect the elog (port 8080).  Following the instructions on the administrators guide I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /elog/ on this server.

The page is found at least so my redirect is doing something, and I suspect the solution is trivial, though I'm not too sure where to start.

-------------------

Also, what is  the best practice for updating one's elog version.  I originally installed using a tarball.

 Still struggling with this issue, if anyone has managed to solve it let me know.   I've done the obvious and checked ownership/ permissions of the elog folders and they are exactly the same as etc/var/www, which is working in apache.

I would like to create a paper waste logbook. I need to have a column that 
shows a weight in pounds and another column with a calculation from those 
pounds to dollars.  pounds x $4.00 = cost  I was wondering if this was 
possible? 

All other fields would be just Date, Batch#, Operator, Reason, Process 
Operator, Manager, Lbs, and Cost,  I would also like to total this cost if 
possible, on a search selected basis. Similar to Excel.

Thanks for any input

I was upgrading to the latest version and I wrote over my cfg file. I 
still have my database files. Is there a way to put the cfg file back 
together using the database files as a guide.  It did not seem to want to 
upgrade until I did this and I forgot to copy and then paste the cfg files 
back.  The latest version is now running. Before I did this I was still 
getting the old version number at the bottom of the main screen.  Also I 
have an RSS reader that can do user name and password, is this possible 
with Elog if the RSS reader has the ability?

Thanks

I guess this qualifies as two questions.
