Hello,
what are the pre-requisites to automatically fill the Author and Author Email fields. The documented method:
Subst Author = $long_name from $remote_host
Subst Email = $user_email
in the elogd.cfg file does not seem to work.
(I see it works here on this platform)

| Hien Doan | hiendoan86@gmail.com | Question | Windows | 314-2 | Re: How to make personal ELOG to public | Dear Sebastian,
Thank you very much for the instruction.
I am able to make the elog to the network.
Best regards,
Hien.
| Sebastian Schenk wrote: | Dear Hien,
your problem is more general the question, how to get the elog to the network.
You have to open the port on your system to the network.
I would suggest to google "open port for webserver on windows".
As right now I would just do the same and follow a tutorial.
A remark here: elog by default runs at port 8080, if you haven't changed this, this is the port you should be opening to the network.
If the elog can be accessed in the local network and you want to open it to the whole internet,
then you need to configure your router/gateway/(company) firewall to allow forwarding of the port of the elog.
I can't give you tips here, at this is very user specific.
An other remark, i would suggest (for a productive environment) to use user authentication in the elog to restrict access.
If you do this, then you also should use https reverse proxy or have a read in the SSL section of the elog documentation.
As http only would transmit the credentials in plain text.
I hope, I could give you a route, what your next steps could be.
Best wishes,
Sebastian

| Lagarde | Hi,lagarde@sjtu.edu.cn | Question | Windows | 3.1.2 | Re: Parsing log files | Hi,
I had similar needs (access and parse logs ) so I'm a small library in cpp. Have a look on https://github.com/flagarde/elogpp maybe it could be usefull for you too.

Sometimes we change the attributes in a config file for a given tab as time goes on, which naturally can get out of sync with the older data in that tab.
I can imagine some other Elog users have encounterd this too at some point so I'm wondering if there's a utilty or some way anyone knows of that I can use to parse a log file DIRECTLY to view the older data, without using the Elog GUI?

| Richard Stamper | richard.stamper@stfc.ac.uk | Question | Linux | 3.1.3-1-1 | Re: Pre-fill Attribute with last entry | Just noting that, depending on what you want to achieve, you may be able to use the threading functionality so that a "new" entry is actually a "reply" to a previous entry. This will allow you to populate attributes with values from that previous entry without having to rely on storing information outside the system, with all the attendant concurrency risks already identified.
| Sebastian Schenk wrote: |

I am glad, we could help.
I can see a caveat in the recommendation.
By having "Execute New = echo $attrib > /path/last_attrib" and "Preset attrib = $shell(cat /path/last_attrib)" as the most simple construction.
But there are cases, where /path/last_attrib can get out of sync with the elog by e.g. editing or deleting the last entry, which is the most likely one to edit or delete.
I am aware, that you can make the logic more complex to fix this issue,
but basically you have the same information stored in two locations and you have to keep them in sync for the system to be reliable.
I am not sure, if it will be more hassle to construct a script/config system to keep them in sync or to find a solution which gets the information from the elog database.

Thank you very much.
So far I testet all functionalities and scripts to reach my goal. I will post a dummy of the solution later on for future purposes.

That would actually be my recommendation. There is a "execute new" which you can call when submitting a new entry.

Hi Stefan, hi Sebastian,
thank you for your help. Ok I see its not that simple.
Is there maybe a way of executing a Script on submitting, writing the values of the Attributes into an temporary file and loading the values from this file via a preset shell script when opening a NEW entry?
Best wishes & thanks in advance
| Sebastian Schenk wrote: |

Sorry Stefan, but it is possible as you have the scripting ability.
The idea is to use "Preset Test_Attribute = $shell(script_to_get_the_last_entry)", where the script asks elog about the details and parses them.
The problem here is, that the elogd already is working to resolve the click on "new entry" request (or similar) and the script can't call elogd until the page is delievered, what is to late.
(If it would, the elogd will hang.)
So the script either has to directly parse all the entry.log files in the logbook folder or you need a second elogd running, which can answer the request from the script.
This second elogd could run on a different port and it doen't need to be public as it only answers internal requests and could use the same config as the "primary" elogd.
My idea for the script uses the python elog module to establish the connection and do the parsing.
I hope this helps as a workaround.
Best wishes,
Sebastian

Nope, there is no way to acces the last value of an attribute. Sorry.

Hi all together,
I struggle a lot with the following problem:
I try to prefill certain attributes with the value of exactly the same attribute in the last entry made in the same logbook.
I know I have to go with Preset, tried a view hours and searched the forum but i didn't find a thing. Am I overlooking a flag, an option or whatever, or is there just not such a functionality (which I dont believe)?
I thought about:
Preset Test_Attribute = $Test_attribute
Preset Test_Attribute = Re:$Test_attribute
Preset Test_Attribute = $shell(Command to somehow get last entry and this attributes value)
Not succesful though.
I would be very thankful for help, thanks in advance.
