Hello,

I am trying to set up my elog to have read-only guest access and require registration/password for users to be able to post to the elog. I've tried following the instructions here: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/faq.html#6, i.e. putting the following lines under the [global] section of my elogd.cfg file:

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help
 

When I do this, I do get guest acccess, however the menu items are

New |  Find |  Select |  Import |  Config |  Logout |  Last day |  Help 

rather than the List, Find, Login, Help I would expect. Also, if I click on Logout, it simply does nothing, which means there's now no way to log in as a registered user.

Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

Thanks,

Greg

Hi, I have a logbook with attributes Tool1, Tool2, and Tool3.  When viewing a completed entry, what I want to do is see Tool2 or Tool3 only if they are non-zero, and don't want to see them if blank.  Basically, a "Hide if blank" option.  I couldn't find it - if it doesn't exist, are there any tricks to simulate it?

I am modifying the elogd.cfg automatically with a script.  The Script fetches a list of systems from a LDAP database and writes them into an "Options" line in the elog.cfg.

Everything worked fine, until we hit the critical number of 100 attributes.  I saw this is also stated in the manual.

Is there any workaround? I downloaded the source code and hat a quit look, but couldn't find the section which is responsible for this behavior. 

Is there a reason for this limit?

Thanks

Jonathan

Hi,

First of all, thanks for all the great work, we all thank you here at SESAME synchrotron 

I am trying to set a conditional attribute where selecting one option in that attribute should trigger multiple outcomes as shown below:

Options Type = Fault{1_1&1_2}, Test{2_1&2_2}, Report{2_1&2_2}

{1_1} Options Fault Status = Open{a}, Fixed{b}
{2_1} Preset Fault Status = NA
{1_2} Preset Icon = attn.png
{2_2} Preset Icon = icon1.gif

I tries adding "&" as shown but that didn't work, my goal is to have 1_1 and 1_2 triggered whenever I select "Fault" as type, how can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Sofian.

Forgive me I'm not incredibly Elog savy yet.

A little backround about this log book -  I have our log set up as individual user names.  The log book is designed for entrys to be made when a process shutdown needs to be bypassed.  The operator will create an entry and submit it.  Then a supervisor will come in after and review/approve it.  I've removed the edit function,  but left the "Reply" option available for the supervisor to go into the same entry and check off the "Reviewed" attribute.  When the reviewed attribute is checked off, even with a different logged in author the next entry ID still shows the original author that put in the entry rather then the author who clicked reviewed.  If there a way to get around this?

[Process Bypass]
Comment = (Not in use right now, currently developing)
Attributes = Author, Date/Time of Bypass, Equipment Name, Device Tag, Supervisor Sign-off,
Moptions Supervisor Sign-off = Reviewed
List Menu commands = New, Find, Logout
Menu Commands = New, Find, Reply, Logout
Required Attributes = Date/Time of ByPass, Equipment Name, Device Tag
 

Dear all, I have a problem with my window elog installation (2.9.2) and I would like to ask your help for solving it.

I'm using elog on my lab computer for a single user installation, so something very simple. It was running smoothly for many months using the automatic window service (i.e. elogd was started automatically at boot). I need to add that the service is started as the local administrator, while my user has no administrative rights. ELOG is installed in the standard location C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\ with the logbook folder inside and this is actually accessible only for admins.

On 8/04/2016, elogd crashed while I was saving an edited message. Then instead of restarting the service or rebooting the PC, I was just starting elogd manually (as me not as admin). It worked for many weeks. And now comes the problem: at the next reboot the elogd service came up automatically but all the new records I added in the logbook since I re-started manually are not there. Indeed in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\logbooks the latest entry is 160408a.txt. But if I stop the service and restart elogd manually (as me not as admin), then I can see in the logbook all the new entries.

My questions is where the ascii files corresponding to the new entries? They must be saved somewhere, maybe in some temporary folder. I want to copy them back and keep them in the backup to avoid unpleasant surprise.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Antonio

Dear all, sorry for asking you another question, but today after I finally recovered all my logbook entries, I updated to elog 3.1.1 and now I have a problem uploading images.

This is what I do:

• Click on the insert "Image" button in the editor toolbar
• In the popup window I select the picture I want to upload and then press "Send to server". I see the file appearing among the attachments at the bottom of the message.
• I click OK, but the popup complains that the Image Source URL is missing. Indeed when I switch to the other tab the URL field is open.

I have tried on your demo logbook and after the image is sent to the server, the URL field is automatically filled.

What am I doing wrong? With 2.9.2 it was working normally.

Thanks again and best regards

Antonio

With all of our instances of Elog where we have Quick Filters enabled, any filter that we input characters into does not search the server when we press enter (there is no "Search" button). Interestingly, it will only search when we click anywhere on a blank area of the Elog interface. Is that the intended procedure for searching?
