 Is there any way within eLog to undelete entries?

After entering a new user and activating it in ELOG, the new user receives an email.

The link does not work because the port number is repeated in the link (see below)

In the Global part of the elogd.ini we have added the port:

port = 8080



Maybe I am overlooking something, any suggestions are very much appreciated!



Thanks!

Ron

Hi,

Is it possbile to compare dates in E-log?

And based on that calculation have conditonal formats on certain attributes.

We have a need to monitor a date attribute named "Preferred finished date" on records placed in E-log.

And if SYSDATE is greater than the "Preferred finished date" we want to mark certain attibutes with a color.

Regards

Hi there,

 

Here's a bit of a special scenario. There's no server-side check the user is logged in upon posting, but it rather seems the server relies on the post data sent from the form.

An example of this can be triggered on a write restricted elog, by hitting on New and logging out in another tab. Then posting, from the first tab, will post as if the user was logged on. Hitting back and posting again also works.

 

Cheers

 Hi,

My email configuration is a little complicated as all emails must be relayed to a central server with TLS authentication. 

So far I've been unable to get the ELOG to work with email, after numerous attempts .  I have got exim4 working on this machine but I don't understand how the elog sends emails well enough, to configure it to recognise and use exim4.  Setting localhost/ my domain/ IP  (and variations) under 'smtp host' doesn't work. (cannot connect to server)

The most interesting error I have been able to get is:

"AUTH command used when not advertised"

or

"Unrecognized authentication type"

Any advice?

 How can I block access to some tools (like edit, erase, config...) for each user? I want only admin users can edit, erase , etc. 

 

I want know too, how can I erase configuration of SMTP?  I make a test with the "elogd -t" command and now every time I create a new entry in my log book I receve the mensage of error to send email, cause I don't configure a SMTP host. 

  67482   Fri Apr 26 22:29:50 2013 Question Ryan Blakesleerb@blakesys.netQuestionLinux2.5.2Auto-Generate new logbook daily

Hello,

I am currently using ELOG as a daily logbook for work performed for customers.  This is a critical tool and process for 1. Showing customers work history 2. having a searchable knowledge base for future reference.  

Currently, I will create a new log entry, assign the customer using a custom ROPTION in my elog.conf.  This process all works fine, mostly, except I run into the following obstacles (that are all human related.)

1. Many days, there are no log entries to be created for a PARTICULAR customer, and other days there are no long entries to be created for ANY customer.

2. Many days when there is a log entry to be created, it's created by me much later then when the work was performed.  For example, I do a bunch of work Tuesday and Wednesday, but I don't have time to enter all my entries until Thursday.  

2A. In this case, I have to manually go back and edit the log entries with text-editor to adjust the times, dates, and such.

2B. In this case, I have log files with a file-name of THURSDAY (042513a.log) for work entries done on Tues and Wed, so I have to go back and rename the log files for consistency sake (mv 042513a.log 042313a.log).  ** I know this is not a requirement of the program, but I like to have the log filenames consistent with the dates contained in them.

 

All these I admit are human error -- but as a small business owner, I just can't always get to the log entries every day.

 

To overcome this, the manual solution would: at the beginning of each day, create a new log entry -- regardless of work to be performed and updated later.  This would serve as sort of a place holder.

However, I can't commit myself to always create a log entry for every day either.  Again, human error.

 

Is what I would like to be able to do is create a new log entry, every single day, automatically.  I would then have a growing log dir of daily log entries (files) for ever day of the week, most blank but some would then contain data that I enter later-- either at the end-of-day or on a day I have downtime and can commit to administrative work.

My thought is I could probably schedule a cron job do to this, but i'm not completely sure how I would go about auto-populating the incremental ID's, dates, etc.  Second, I don't know if there is a way to do this within ELOG itself, or if there is a built-in mechanism that already covers this.

 

Has anyone run into this, or solved this problem, or can someone kindly point me in the right direction or how I can implement the daily auto creation of logs?

 

Thank you very much in advance!
