icon5.gif   Mirroring function for a full both-sides synchronization, posted by Sergei Gavrilov on Mon Feb 24 15:58:55 2020 

Hello, dear ELOG's gurus.
Please help me to understand a problem with mirroring function.
It appears in ELOG V3.1.4-a04faf9f - the last official Windows release, as well as previous 3.1.3 Windows release, which I have checked for comparison.

When I'm using a manual configuration with "mirror server, cron, user" options for one (master) of two servers, it operates well, except the situation, when a new entry is submitted at the second (slave) server.
For example, for a new entry with a real ID#2 at Slave its logfile gives "NEW entry #0", so logfile of the master server gives "MIRROR: Error receiving message: Received wrong entry id "0"".
After that Master deletes this entry at Slave "MIRROR delete remote entry #2".

In case of mirror functions in both .cfg files (Master to Slave, Slave to Master) both servers hung on after the first mirror process.

Now let's imagine, what I want to do. 
Master, as a main-operation global log, is off-operation, Slave automatically becomes a reserv-operation local log with full information from Master due to previous periodic mirroring.
Users work with Slave, submit new entries - all with #0 ID.
After repairing Master starts active mirroring and just deletes all new entries from Slave.

It seems, that the problem is not with mirroring, but with a new entry ID, as was mentioned in https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68850
Were these ID#0/mirror problems resolved somehow or may be it is not a problem, but simply my errors in ELOG configuration?
Is there a chance to get an up-to-date Windows-release with working both-sides mirror function and all other addings after V3.1.4-a04faf9f ?

Best regards,
Sergei

icon4.gif   Reverse sort, threaded display fails when there is only 1 entry in logbook, posted by Ravi Pappu on Sun Jul 14 15:15:19 2002 

This is not a serious bug...but when the global settings are as follows

[global]
Display mode = threaded
Reverse sort = 1

all logbooks with only a single entry produce the wrong URL on 
clicking "last 10"

The URL produced is http://localhost:8080/LogbookName/0
instead of http://localhost:8080/LogbookName/1

icon1.gif   Author name in reply to entry is from original poster, posted by Max on Thu Oct 10 11:50:06 2019 

My elog has this config for the author:

Option Author = Filled In Automatically
Preset Author = $Long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

This works as intended: when you submit a new entry, the author name is filled in automatically and cannot be changed.

However, when Alice wants to post a reply to an entry the Bruce has made, the preset author name does not say Alice, it says Bruce. I haven't been able to find out how to change this (other than make the author name editable). Even when Author isn't configured as as locked attribute, it still displays the original author's name.

How can I get this to work like I want/need to?

In the summary view, it seems that the text is truncated at the first "<" character. See https://lblogbook.cern.ch/Shift/48812 for a simple entry, then use the 'list' command to see that only a very small part is displayed.

Hello,
I am running Elog V2.1.3 on Solaris 8 and I was very pleased about this 
tool.But now I have a problem: Sometimes it takes a lot of time submitting 
an entry into a logbook, up to 3 minutes. This behaviour does only occur 
sometimes. Did anyone of You experience something like this?

Hello all,

I would like to configure the email that is sent to notify users, when an entry is submitted:

- Is it possible to attach to the mail the files attached to the entry ?

- Is it possible to configure a string (with entry keywords) that will appear in the mail content instead of the default content ?

 

Thank you!

Christine
