ELOG Forum

I usually access hosts in LAN with their IPs. But elogd seems to prefer hostnames to IPs. I cannot ask each one to add the hostname to their system config file while they visit my host. I encounter several problems which seems to be related to the hostname resolution:

I can visit remote elog service through IP and port, but cannot submit entry and cannot open the config page remotely. For example, my powerbook's name is "exaos-pb-12" and its IP is 10.10.2.96. I run elogd on my PB and try to access it through URL http://10.10.2.96:8080/ on host 10.10.2.99. While I submit a new entry or open the config page, my firefox alway blames: "exaos-pb-12.local could not be found. Please check the name and try again."
Sometimes, all the images, colors are missing. It looks like that my firefox cannot find the correct URL of these images or CSS files. It might be the same problem of "cannot find hostname".

In such a situation you describe it might help to use

URL = http://10.10.2.96:8080/

in the configuration file. This way elogd uses also IP numbers for redirection. Please let me know if that works.

Re: "Error: Cannot find hostname"

Yes, the "URL" works. Thanks!

Re: "Default encoding" default is not as documented

Quote:

"Default encoding" appears to have the default value of 2 (HTML) instead of 0 (ELCode) as documented in http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html

ELOG V2.7.0-1954 : elog.c line 8952

I changed the documentation Wink

The reason for this is to give beginners the FCKeditor by default instead of the ELCode encoding.

As the person who suggested this concept, I have to admit I've yet to think of a good way around this issue. 
Preventing "branching" is all very well, but sometimes it is relivent to have a branch (although I usually try to
avoid them).  Unless elog scans every possible branch to find where the latest entry, I cannot think of a
foolproof, practical scheme.

I fixed that in revision 2269. So now elog scans a complete branch and searches for the last entry in the branch. 
You can check again the branch above on the forum, should work now.

Re: dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed

I don't think that this is possible.

And it is not clear to me, how you would like it to work: I often use HTML tables in preset text, where the user should fill out columns (e.g. for checklists). I wouldn't want the tables just to append when switching to another checklist. You could rather add a comment to the Type field, explaining that the text field will be overwritten when you change the type.

The Firefox addon Lazarus does store whatever you've typed in an HTML form: at least you could then recover what you've typed.

Cheers, Andreas

Dear all,

Is it possible to have a dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed?

I would like to switch the template file depending on the attribute value (Type).

If user already started editing the text body, on change (Type) he could lose this data.

I'm using this example code :
Attributes = Type, Subject
Options Type = One{1}, Two{2}, Three{3}
Show text = 0

{1} Preset text = text1
{2} Preset text = text2
{3} Preset text = text3
{1,2,3} Show text = 1

I the attribute type change the user lost the data, because the text has been replaced.

Any idea about how to solve it?

Thanks!
Cheers
