Hi.

Is there any way that "Preset on duplicate" contain ID entry from which it was duplicated?

Cheers

Daniel.

Hello.

In Elog i have attribute called "Zmieniano" (eng. changed)  which should store how many times entry was edited. If entry was not edited it should have only preset value "oryginalny wpis" (eng. oryginal entry), but when I edit it, it should have also date, time, and person who make edit (this is made by "Subst on Edit Zmieniano = $Zmieniano<br>- Zmiana $date przez $long_name z $remote_host)". 

From version V3.1.1-3f311c5 I have problem with that. 

When I add entry, and entry is auto saved, then auto save is shown in the attribute "Zmieniano" (eng. changed) as an next edit, which I dont want. Entry from attached screenshot was not edited, but in "Zmieniano" (eng. changed) attributes it has two values:

• Oryginalny wpis (eng. oryginal entry),
• Zmiana 27.08.2015, 10:52 przez Daniel Sajdyk z serwerownia.sr.lez (eng. Changed 27.08.2015.... ) 

The second value is autosave time. 

Is this a bug?

Regards

Daniel. 

Hi Daniel,

this is an undesired side effect of a new feature. I wouldn't call it a bug ;-)

There is no straight forward way for elog to distinguish between a "Submit" and an automatic save. Therefore the "... on edit = ..." kicks in when an entry is saved automatically.

I guess Stefan can figure out a workaround, but for the moment I would sugest that you just switch off the auto save feature -- if you want to keep your save history:

Save drafts = 0

Hi Andreas and thank you very much for explanation ;)

So, we'll have to wait for new version which will correct this.

Cheers

Daniel.

Is there a way to distribute e-mail based on the consideration of several attributes and values?  A simple example:  attributes type and category have several different values, say, routine and problem for type and hardware and software for category, but one would only like messages sent when there's a problem to different sets of hardware or software types.  Thus:

Email

type routine   category hardware = no message

                        category software = no message

type problem  category hardware =  a@bcd.efg, h@ijk.lmn

                         category software = 1@opq.rst, 2@uvw.xyz

Yes, this can be done. See below for an example configuration.

Attributes = entrytype, category
Options entrytype = routine{1}, problem{2}
Options category = software, hardware

{1} Email category software =
{1} Email category hardware =
{2} Email category software = 1@opq.rst, 2@uvw.xyz
{2} Email category hardware = a@bcd.efg, h@ijk.lmn

Version 3.1.1, released August 4^th, 2015

• Updated CKEditor to version 4.5.1

• Implemented "Date/Time format <attribute> = ..."

• Implemented "Use Email Subject Edit = ..."

• Replaced "Back" by "Delete" button

• Fixed many issues with Draft Messages

• CSS file is now in *addition* to the default file elog.css

• Added LDAP documentation

• Added "Logout to URL = ..." option

• Added description of Apacher server authentication

There seems to be a small problem with the new "Date/Time format <attribute>" implementation. It works great for the detailed view of a single entry:

But fails to work on the list view (same entry, the Date column is formated as it should):

Relevant config part:

Time format Time Start = %H:%M:%S
Time format Time End = %H:%M:%S

Thanks for reportung that bug. I fixed it in revision f828049.

I am interested in using LDAP authentication for elogd on Windows for which it looks like I need to compile from source, enabling LDAP in the make file.

Does anyone have advice on build environments for Windows in which they have had success making elog?  Free ones preferably, such as Cygwin. 

Hello

I use Resolve host names = 1 in my config file, but I still get IP instead domain name.

I use elog in internal network with my own DNS.

Any sugesstions ?

Regards

Daniel. 

In elog I simplu use the function gethostbyaddr() to resolve the host name. If this does not work, the underlying OS does not know the hostname either. Probably you can test this with "nslookup a.b.c.d", to see any further error message.

I'm sorry... it was my mistake. I put Resolve host names in logbook config instead global.

Regards Daniel.

Hi,

I've been exploring elog. I find when using IE 11, the text editor formatting buttons don't work with HTML encoding selected. The entire toolbar is grayed out. It appears to work fine with Chrome. Any ideas or direction to look? elog v3.1.1 is running on RedHat EL5. I've tried the rpm installation, and source code compilation and installation with no change.

Any input would be greatly apriciated!

John

This reply has been written with IE 11 using the embedded HTML editor of ELOG. Therefore it is obviously not a problem of ELOG 3.1.1 with IE 11.

It could be a problem with your ELOG installation or it could be a problem with you IE 11 configuration. Can you use the HTML editor of this forum with IE11? Did you install ELOG 3.1.1 on top of an existing ELOG installation?

There was a recent post in the forum about IE11 and the HTML editor in the Forum. Did you read it?

Cheers, Andreas

Also make sure you don't have "Compatibility Mode" turned on in IE11.

See here for example: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-enable-compatibility-view-in-internet-explorer-11-ie11/

The issue was IE Compatibility Mode. There were no websites in the list, but the "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" was checked. Removing this fixed it.

Thanks for the help!

Hello all,

I am in need of isolating GET-requests referring to long-running, read-only elog functions such as search/filter/sort in our Apache proxy and redirecting them elsewhere. There does not, however, appear to be any easy way of reliably isolating these functions (with the exception of sort) by only looking at the URL.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Regards,

Philip

I guess the underlying problem is the long time these requests take and block other users.

I have pretty high on my todo list to convert ELOG into a multi-threaded server which would fix this completely. So if you are patient enough (=months) you might get what you want.

Thanks for the quick response!

It's great to hear that multi-threading is in the works as this has been my main issue with an otherwise very nice piece of software. I do, however, feel like we should be able to get my slightly hacky approach to work to hold us over until you finish.

The idea is to run separate ELOG instances in read-only mode dedicated to these types of requests. I've managed to sync up the logbook indexation of each instance so now, unless there's some statefulness to ELOG that I'm forgetting about, I only need to make sure that requests are forwarded to the right instance.

Is there no good way of differentiating search operations from others by URL?

Look for "&subtext=" in the URL

This only applies to searches which specify that they are searching through the message text though. It would not work for things like quick filter

For any other filter you need "&<attribute>=", which of course requires the knowlede of all attributes. There is no other "standard" flag in the URL indicating a search.

Would there be a simple way to redirect all URLs BUT the ones which trigger searches?

No, no and again: no.

Noted. Thank you for your time
