OK, I found the note about "Logbook dir" in Stephen Wood's entry (http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1101) Wink

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.

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.

Yoshio

Was a bug. I have fixed that in revision 1591.

Thanks for the "boiling-down" of your config file. That helped me to reproduce the error quickly. It only occurs if you have a date/time attribute which is hidden as a conditional attribute. This is a unusual combination, that's why I haven't seen that bug before. Actually some 
JavaScript code checks the validity of the date attribute, but since it is conditionally not there, the JavaScript code crashes, which triggers the dialog box you see. It's now fixed in the repository.

Thank you Stefan!
That works nicely now.
Apparently it was less work to fix than to isolate it ;-)

Well, I also spend like an hour on it.

I tried adding the lines below to my Global section, and while Guest access is turned on the menu line does not change. I tried searching SVN change logs for a comment regarding any 'guest' bugs but found nothing. Was this a problem at some point and fixed? I noticed that the Midas site is running 2.6.4-1814 and the guest menus work! Am I doing something wrong or was this a problem in the past?

Thanks!

Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help
Guest List Menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help

Ok, well, I built version 2.6.4-1795 and I have the same issue -- Guest menus do not show up when added to my configuration.

Suggestions on where to look? Start from scratch?
