  2244   Fri Jun 15 18:25:07 2007 Question David Egolfdegolf@ezprints-inc.comQuestionWindowslatestPreset Date and Time
Is there a way to have the preset date and time and add a set additional time? I do Preventative maintenance and want to add a default 30 days or 90 days to the preset date and time in a datetime field.

Thanks

Hello, Is the below an issue or am I doing something incorrectly? Creating an attribute starting with a number and then including that attribute in the Required Attribute list prevents access to the CKEditior. This appears to be the case at least with FreeBSD (10.2 Rel) using Elog V3.1.0 and Windows 7 with Elog V3.1.1-3f311c5. The problem can be recreated using the Elog supplied sample config and adding the necessary attribute, sample config showing below. While attribute 7SWM is part of the Required Attributes the CKEditor fails to appear, remove 7SWM from the Required Attributes list and the CKEditor returns.

FYI, I had problems a few weeks ago trying to get the command line elog working, blamed everybody and everything but myself.

In my case it was command line syntax errors and eventually got it going as part of a nightly script

While testing I ran the Elog Server from the command line in verbose mode to see if that helped determine the problem.

On the server end the logbook uploading to is set for Plaintext

# Set entries to TEXT Only format
Default encoding = 1
Allowed encoding = 1

 

Elog server authenication is standard built in to elogd, no PAM, no LDAP, no Kerberos 

Below is what works for me, I’ve replaced my Elog Server Hostname, Elog Username & Password used to connect to the server with generic.

Elog Server version = elog-3.1.4-2

 

# Log details in Elog Server

/usr/local/bin/elog -h HOSTNAME -p 80 -l Backups -u USERNAME PASSWORD -a Backup=NightlyBackupScript -a Hostname=$HOST -n 1 -x -m /tmp/elog.nightly.script.$TIMESTAMP

 

I've been caught out in the past having a very old version of the elog command line talking to a recent Elog Server build or Encoding not matching

I've been able to work around this by completely turning off authentication, and adding New to the Guest menu list.

One additional question: since I'm uploading historical logbook entries, is it possible to set the entry creation date via the command line? It seems that elogd is overriding the attribute "Date".

David Wallis wrote:

Hmmm... I added "New" to the Guest menu list, and the button showed up for a guest user. But when I submitted the new ticket, I got the message Error: Command "Submit" is not allowed for user ""

Stefan Ritt wrote:

"submit not allowed" you typically get if there is a "guest menu" for read-only access and you are not logged in. I never tried the elog program with PAM authentication, but you said that your turned authentication off. What I would do is to strip down your elogd.cfg to a very simple form until the elog utility works, then figure out which configuration makes the trouble.

David Wallis wrote:

Update: I tried switching the logbook to no authentication reqiured, and still get the "command Submit not allowed" response.

David Wallis wrote:

I'm running  Elog version V3.1.4-ba84827 on Red Hat Linux 7.9. As part of migrating from an older in-house logbook to Elog, I need to upload all the old logbook entries. However, when I attempt to do that with the "elog" command line tool, I'm getting the error "command Submit not  allowed.

I read through a similar report from 2015 (entry #68149), but none of the potential causes seem to be at play here. The logbook is using PAM authentication, and I can log in to the web interface using the same credentials I'm using from the command line. The other case mentioned a dis-allowed encoding format, but my logbook is configured to allow all formats.

 

This is the command line I'm using:

/usr/local/elog/bin/elog -v -h logbook.aps.anl.gov -p 8081 -l On_Call -x -n 2 -a Date='10/19/2020 01:02' Author="David Wallis" Title='Test Upload' Status='Open' System='On-Call' -u 'wallis' '*****'  "This is a test message"

 

 

 

 

 

  69259   Tue Nov 17 12:10:07 2020 Cool David Dunneddunne@seven.com.auQuestionLinux3.1.4Style <attribute> and Cell Style <attribute> on the same row

Query

(FYI, OS = FreeBSD, Elog Version as showing on logon box = V3.1.4-)

Is it possible to use both Style <attribute> and Cell Style <attribute> on the same row?
For example, have a Logbook containing several Attributes and display a subset of those attributes in Summary Mode. Two attributes are of interest for this query which are part of the attributes displayed in Summary Mode, attributes ‘Assign Line’ and ‘Service’ 

If the ‘Attribute Assign Line = Assign 1’ then shade all cells in that row #808080
but if the ‘Attribute Service = 1600’ always shade that cell #7A5776 

Config file includes
Style Assign Line Assign 1 = background-color:#808080
Cell Style Service 1600 = background-color:#7A5776

The result is the row gets shaded #808080 if ‘Assign Line = Assign Line 1’ but fails to shade the Service cell colour #7A5776 if it equals 1600 

Extract from HTML source for the ‘1600’ cell when both conditions are correct shows both background-color values are present and the cell is styled the first value listed (which is Style Assign Line Assign 1 = background-color:#808080 but I always want #7A5776 for cell Service when it is of value 1600)
.
<td class="list2" style="background-color:#808080" style="background-color:#7A5776"><a href="../Daily/1">1600</a></td>  

Thank you,

David

  67349   Tue Oct 2 21:58:20 2012 Question David ChastainDavid_Chastain@sra.comQuestionLinux2.9.1Importing XML

I was wondering if anyone out there has had any success with importing XML data into ELOG. Using the XML schema which I derive from the EXPORT data from ELOG into XML format or creating the file from scratch, I either blowup the system and have to restart elogd or it doesn't work and says, XML file doesn't contain ELOG_LIST element (which I create and it still doesn't work).

Basically, I am trying to take spreadsheet data, convert it into XML and upload it as a logbook so I don't have to perform lots of data entry. I also tried .CSV but have had no luck. 

Any thoughts or ideas?
