  69367   Mon May 31 14:51:39 2021 Question Maximmaxsimuus69@gmail.comQuestionWindows3.1.4-3Problem with a self-compiled code.

Dear, sir! There is a problem with a configuration file.

The code was compiled by Cygwin (gcc-core, gcc-g++, make, gdb, libssl-dev).  After a compilation a reference to our own css-file was written in configuration file and css-file was included in a folder “themes/default” of the project.

The problem is that in running elog-3.1.4-1 (and upper versions) css-file name in a code of a page has some random symbols before file-name, for example: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ø9öÿeLogOUK.css">. It was found that the problem is resolved if a string “Password file=passwd” is deleted, but in this case it is impossible to set passwords to the users.

Here is an example of configuration file which is taken from the forum and just one string (CSS=elogOUK.css) has added to the code

 

[global]

 

; port under which server is listening

Port = 8080

 

CSS = eLogOUK.css

 

[Accelerator]

Comment = Accelerator Logbook

 

; use user level password access

Password file = passwd

Login expiration = 1000

Admin user = ritt

Self register = 1

 

; look and feel

Guest menu commands = Back, Find, Login, Help

Guest find menu commands = Find, Login, Help

Date format = %B %d, %Y

 

; attributes

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Subject

Options Category = Routine entry, Shift summary, Problem, Fix, Question, Info, Other

Extendable attributes = Category

Required Attributes = Category, Subject

Thread display = $Subject, entered by $author on $Entry date

Quick filter = Date, Category

 

; title as shown in the browser

Page Title = Accelerator Logbook - $subject

 

; preset author and email

Preset Author = $long_name

Preset Author Email = $user_email

 

; these attributes cannot be changed

Locked Attributes = Author, Author Email

 

; only author can change its own entry

Restrict edit = 1

 

; options for reply

Subst on reply subject = Re: $Configuration Name

Remove on reply = Author, Author Email

 

; No Email notification

Suppress Email to users = 1

Dear elog users & developers,

the subject line says it all: when using webserver authentication, how is it possible to restict access of users to any given elog? Only using the apche rules? Admin user and Login user do not seem to be doing anything for me. I am using elog as packaged by debian for buster, using an apache ssl proxy. Thank you for providing this software,

Christian

The function of "Drop attachments here..." is only for root user? I'd like it could be used by all users.

Good afternoon!

The elog does not see the time zone. It displays UTC + 0. When I transfer old entries to a new compiled log, they are displayed 3 hours earlier (my time zone is UTC + 3). When creating a new record, it creates them in the UTC + 0.

Compilation occurs in Cygwin.

Version elog – 3.1.4-3.

Please help solve this problem.

  69385   Mon Jul 19 18:41:29 2021 Question Janusz Szubajanusz.szuba@xfel.euQuestionLinux3.1.4Deny option and Guest commands

Hi, 

I have a logbook with guest access and guest can also enter a new entry (in config: Guest List Menu commands = New, Find, Select, Login). For other reason in a global section, I put 

Deny New = account1, account2

This somehow invalidates Guest List Menu commands, since as guest I don't see New button anymore. Is this behaviour desired? Otherwise, I would need to move Deny option to plenty of individual logbook configs. Just to explain the reason, those accounts are set up to only read entries and not to create new ones. Or maybe you can suggest a different solution?

Best

Is there any way to log child events on the detail pages for a fixed number of entries on the main page? For example, I have 15 vehicles to enter on the main page, ID'd by Vehicle Number. Within each of those entries I will be logging ongoing repair service entries with certain attributes.

So how might I design this concept without having repeating vehicle entries on the main page for every service event, and preferably without splitting the information between two linked logbook tabs?

Can the size of the application log file affect performance?

Hi All,

I am using elog to track technical changes in an experiment but also to log what experimentalist are doing during an experiment. For the latter, I would like to be able to lock those entries from being further edited after the expertiment if finished. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,

Manoel
