Thank you!
I just installed the latest revision; it is exactly what we need.
I found one problem, however: while linking the binaries for elogd, the linker complained about an undefined reference to forkpty implemented in libutil. I had to add the linker option
 -lutil 
to the Makefile target elogd:, then it compiled correctly.

One strange thing (maybe it isn't strange at all) is the following behaviour: when the list view is set to "summary", then the line containing the entry where we clicked "list" is highlighted, however when the list view is set to "full", it isn't. Is this "a bug, or a feature"? Wink

Thanks for the work from all, and happy new year.

  1573   Wed Jan 4 12:26:31 2006 Question T. Ribbrockemgaron@gmx.netQuestionLinux2.6.0HelpELCode needs to be present in "Menu commands"?
Another little issue I came across was this: I'm using "Menu commands" and "Guest Menu commands" in my configuration. When I logged in and started to create a new entry, clicking on the URL that is behind "ELCode" at the bottom of the screen (and accesses the help for the ELCodes) resulted in a "command denied". The only way to get around this was to add "HelpELCode" to "Menu commands" - but now it also shows up in the menus, which is not what I want. Is there any way around this?
  1572   Wed Jan 4 12:05:21 2006 Question T. Ribbrockemgaron@gmx.netQuestionLinux2.6.0MS Fonts only in ELCode options?
I'm just after installing 2.6.0 and marvelling at all the changes, especially ELCode (I was using 2.5.8 previously). However, I noticed that the "FONT" menu for ELCodes only offers Microsoft fonts Astonished - something I usually avoid like hell when publishing web content, as I cannot rely on those being installed on the clients. As far as I can see there is no easy way to change this, short of patching the source - or is there?
I'd want to add at least options like "serif" and "sans-serif" and maybe some standard (Unix\?) fonts like "Helvetica".
  1571   Tue Jan 3 17:20:16 2006 Entry Mikemlmoore@pella.comBug report V2.6.0elogd 2.6.0 crash on password Forgot?
I have been having a repeatable crash on V2.6.0 everytime someone tries to recover a password using the option from the login screen. See attachment for a jpg of the message.

This is occuring on windows 2003. But I have also tested it on windows XP and it occurs there as well. In addition on XP I did a generic installtion and added the password option to the DEMO application and it fails there as well.

I forgot to update the web server, but the document distributed in the 2.6.0 package was up to date.

I copied the actual version to the web server.

For the changes from one version to the other, have a look at the changelog.

There are also one question/request (you see that we use the elog extensively now Wink):
When searching for a particular event in our shift log using the "Find" function, it would often be useful not to go to the single entry, but to the page where that entry resides. This way we can see the whole context of the event. When clicking onto an entry in the "Find" result page, this takes us of course to the single entry, but could you add a function to go to the page instead. Alternatively, is it possible to include a button "Go to page" in the single entry view (it need not even be exactly +/-N entries around, the usual page partition would do)?


I implemented that request. When you click on "list", it takes you to the listing page containing the current entry, which is even highlighted. Have a look at this forum if this is what you like.

Stefan Ritt wrote:


You're really pushing to the limit Wink

The maximum number of logbooks is indeed 120. If you have too many logbooks, they are also hard to handle (too many check boxes in the config page etc.). What if you make not one logbook per server, but have a single logbook and use the server as an attribute, like

Attributes = ..., Server, ...
Options Server = Server1, Server2, ...

Now you can ask: How many options are possible for an attribute, and the answer is 100, which is even less than the number of logbooks. But you can make three logbooks, each covering 100 servers, and that covers your 294 servers.


Thanks for the quick reply and suggestion. I will give that a try.

You might want to consider adding a check that there aren't over 120 logbooks. I manually created the elog.cfg with 294 logbooks. Everything works, except for running into this problem.

Thanks again
