First, I really appreciate this software. Thank you.

Next, I have question - am wanting to have a 'dashboard' of sorts that shows all entries that are 'open'. That part is easy enough. But, then I want to color the time (or some other field) if the ELOG has not been updated/created for more than X hours. This will help us keep track of events that need status updates.

Doable?

Thanks!

Hi,

I installed ELOG on other machine for making automatic backups. I copied the .cfg file to the slave and edited the .cfg file on the original machine (mirror server entries).
(automatic configuration with -C didn't work somehow - maybe a firewall problem)

Then I tried to synchronize manually, which works great.
I set the mirror cron = 0 7-18 * * 1-5, as written as example in the documents, but nothing happens at full hours.

There's something else strange: I can't access "https://lx0.mydomain.org/" or "http://lx1.mydomain.org:8082/" directly. The browser just keeps loading - showing an empty page (and an error message after a long while). I have to add the name of the logbook to the link. Why is that?
If I set different paths in the [global HBAR] and [global SMI] areas (like URL = https://lx0.mydomain.org/hbar/), I can access the links above (giving me the overview page as expected), but I can't access the logbooks itself anymore.

However, that's not a big problem (I can access the logbooks via direct link and see all the others in the same group and switch to them), but the backup thing is.

So, main machine is lx0.mydomain.org and the backup machine is lx1...

Attached are my config files.
I deleted many of the logbook specific entries, since they aren't important and just look like the first one.

Hope anyone can help,
Roland.

In the elogd.c file nearly at the very top is the following line:

char svn_revision[] = "$Id: elogd.c 2411 2011-04-01 14:39:35Z ritt $";

How does this information get into the source file?  Is it a script used when the svn changes are committed, or perhaps when they are checked out?  Any details or pointers to info on the web would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 Hi,

I have several top groups and each has several logbooks.

If I use the global option Protect Selection page=1 and Show top groups = 1, after an user logs in to the top group selection URL, the elog steers away from the top group selection page, and automatically brings him to the logbook selection page of the first top group. Is the elog programmed to exhibit this behavior?

What I would prefer is that, after an user logs in, the elog stays on the top group selection page, sine each user has his preferred destination, not always the logbooks in the first top group. Is there any setting I can use in the config file to do this? 

(My users need to access different top groups and logbooks on regular basis).

Thank you and regards.

Hello,

we used Admin and write passwords. Now this is no longer supported in ELOG 2.9.0 and I tried to change to File or Kerberos Autentication. But nothing worked. I tried the following lines in elog.cfg

[Serverlogbuch]
Authentication = File
Password file = C:\Program Files\ELOG\logbooks\Serverlogbuch\pwd.txt
Self Authentication = 1

So the self Autentication site opens and I can put in all informations. But if I click on save he tries to save the information in the password file and after a time he stops and Internet Explorer says that the page cannot be reached.

The file is not saved. If I remove the 3 lines the logbook opens without any problems.

I tried also kerberos but it didn't work. But there I think some entries in the krb5.ini are wrong.

Would you please help solving the File password problem?

Best Regards

Michael

If I have a couple of attachments in a log book entry, I can link to that entry "http://example.edu/elog/Sandbox/7", I get the appropriate log in page, and after logging it, it takes me to the entry.

However, if I link directly an attachment, "http://example.edu/elog/Sandbox/7/1", I receive a plain log in page that doesn't have the stylesheet applied, and logging in, I am directed to " http://example.edu/elog/Sandbox/7/" which throws an invalid error. If I am already logged in the browser, it links correctly. 

I assume the problem must stem from messed up relative URL somewhere, hence the lack of stylesheet, or from the redirect incorrectly handling the /. (Looking at the source for the two login pages, the only difference is "<input type=hidden name=redir value="7">" versus "<input type=hidden name=redir value="7/1">". ) But that reaches the end of my ability...

This breaks the attachment links in emails.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,

I have logbook A and logbook B.  Is it possible to move one type of entries in logbook A to logbook B?  If yes, may I know how you do it?  Thank you.

Is there a limit on the number of conditions that can be simultaneously active in a log?  When I activate more than 10 conditions I start to see side effects with other conditions being deactivated.  I think this is due to the hard-coded array size of 10 for clist in the match_param function in elogd.c.  If so, could this limit be increased?  

Are there other limits on the number of conditions, or the length of condition names?  If I've understood the code right, the _condition string holds a comma-separated list of the active conditions, so the 256 byte length of this will also put some limit on the number of conditions that can be active.
