icon5.gif   Sharing logbooks among "Top Groups", posted by Satyajit Jena on Sun Aug 20 10:07:57 2017 

Hi,

I am currently trying to configuring elog top groups, which are supposed to separate from each other. However, I would like to have a common logbook that should be visible in each group. Is there a way to share logbooks among Top Groups for example

Top Group Electronics = Elec1, Elec_EEE, Ele2

Top Group Processing  = P_AA1, PPP2, Elec_EEE

Top Group Monitoring = Mon1, Mon2, Mon3, Mon4

Top Group Data = Data1, PPP2, Data2

I would like logbook to be viewed:

  • Electronics:
    • Elec1
    • Elec_EEE
    • Ele2
  • Processing:
    • P_AA1
    • PPP2
    • Elec_EEE
  • Monitoring:
    • Mon1
    • Mon2
    • Mon3
    • Mon4
  • Data:
    • Data1
    • PPP2
    • Data2
    • Mon3
    • Mon4

Could you please suggest me if it is possible to set in this way (Color codes t show the common sharing).

Many thanks and regards,

satyajit

I don't know if that works. Why don't you just try?

Hi,

I tried without success. Logbook is not sharing, it is displaying only under one "Top Group" whereever it appears first.

With regards,

Hi Satyajit,
I think you've just answered your own question. There is no magic switch - as far as I know - that would change that behaviour.

Probably there are ways to achieve your desired behaviour (using mirror servers and synchronising the logbooks) but that would require a large effort and would make your installation a lot more complicated.

With kind regards, Andreas

icon5.gif   CSS reference in Email for private logbooks, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Aug 21 14:27:50 2017 
We operate ELOG in an intranet. Many logbooks do send out emails; several use HTML content formatting.
If I watch HTML formatted emails from the intranet, then everything is fine.
If I try to read them from home, my email client hangs when it tries to read the CSS file from out intranet (URL: https://elog-gfa.psi.ch/SLS/elog.css).
Is there a way to set a URL for the email CSS?
Then I could simply copy the CSS file to the internet accessible location and the emails would be properly formatted in the intranet and from home.
 
I've tried to use "Use Email URL = ", but it turned out that this will change all base URL's in the email BUT the one in the CSS :-(
So I would need a config "Email CSS URL = " to set this.
 
Here is a patch that does what I want, but it might have some side-effects I'm not yet aware of:
7636,7643c7636,7638
<    if (absolute_link) {
<       if (lbs != NULL && getcfg(lbs->name, "Email CSS URL", str, sizeof(str)))
<          strlcpy(css_base, str, sizeof(css_base));
<       else if (lbs == NULL && getcfg("global", "Email CSS URL", str, sizeof(str)))
<          strlcpy(css_base, str, sizeof(css_base));
<       if (css_base[0] == 0)
<         compose_base_url(lbs, css_base, sizeof(css_base), FALSE);
<    } else
---
>    if (absolute_link)
>       compose_base_url(lbs, css_base, sizeof(css_base), FALSE);

icon5.gif   edit elog config via elog web interface, posted by Tim Schelfhout on Mon Sep 4 11:22:05 2017 

Hello,

Is it possible to edit the entire elog config file via the elog frontend?  I see the config button 
on some screens but it only allows me to change user and password??

Thankx

On the right side of "Change password" you should find "Change config file".

But you'll only see this, if the user has admin priviledges defined in the config file: "Admin user = <user>"

config menu

Then you can edit the configuration of that logbook. At the top you'll have a button "Change [global]" to edit the global part of the configuration - if you have the relevant priviledges to do so.

icon5.gif   Email fields - accept semicolons too, posted by Ben Shepherd on Wed Sep 20 16:34:18 2017 

My elog has a field for entering a list of email addresses, which goes into the "Email All" attribute. They need to be comma-separated, and an error is thrown if semicolons are used instead. Would it be possible to automatically change semicolons into commas before attempting to send the mail via SMTP? Neither character is allowed in email addresses so it shouldn't break anything to just do that silently. Thanks!
