One of my shifters just managed to make an anonymous logbook entry even though the Author attribute is required.

It turns out that he had two tabs in his browser opened/logged into the Elog.  He logged out in one tab only.   Then he

did some other work on the desktop.  Then he returned to the browser to make a new logbook entry, finding the tab which

still showed the logged in menu, including the link for "New".  The Shifer is on day two, so he did not give any special

notice to seeing Anonymous in the Author field instead of his name.  He did point it out when I came in, and noted that

no warning was given about making an anonymous entry.

I tested the same scenario myself.  One cannot preview an anonymous entry (when Author field is a required attribute).

A warning is given.  However, one can submit the anonymous entry, and no warning is given.

I am using the CMS ELog remotely as a monitoring tool.  Information is compartementalized into dozens of containers.  I can create a find query URL, say last day, which then reloads every X minutes in Firefox.  When new ELog entries are made, then appear in the refresh and catch my attention.  But, my interests are somewhere between a single logbook and all logbooks.  If I choose all CMS logbooks for example for one day, I usually end up with > 200 entries. 

In short, I would like the ability to:

1) Select from the list of available logbooks when doing a search

2) Have more canned choices from smaller time frames, such as 1 hour or at least one shift (8 hours).

I do not see how to do this in the current elogd.cfg syntax instructions.

Thanks, Alan

Hi

I am trying to install to mac 10.10.2 - everything works almost fine, but when I issue the sudo make install I get

Installing example logbook to /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo
install: logbooks/demo/2001/011108a.log -> /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/2001/011108a.log
install: elogd.plist: No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 71

Any idea why ?

Thanks

Alex

Thanks! now install works fine - but I cannot find how to open and start writing- I do

/usr/local/sbin/elogd
elogd 3.0.0 built Feb 13 2015, 16:42:32 revision 21dc563
CKeditor detected
ImageMagick detected
Indexing logbooks ... done
Server listening on port 8080 ...

but nothing pops up...I mean it is not possible to run "offline" ie locally on my mac ?

Hi,I'm new here :) and want to install elog on linux suse. could you please tell me, how can I find this following lib dependency.

linuxsuse#rpm -i elogi386.rpm
                 error: Failed dependencies:
                  libssl.so.6 is needed by elog-3.1.0-2.i386

Thanks in Advance

I am trying to add additional information to the subject of new entries:

Subst subject = $subject [INCIDENT $message id]
Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject
Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject

However, the new entry subject looks like:

this is my subject [INCIDENT this is my subject [INCIDENT $message id]

I'm not sure if there's a problem with the substitution or if this is just not allowed (I'm having LISP flashbacks).

By the way, if I use "Subst on reply subject" I get the behavior I would like but the original entry in the thread doesn't contain the appended data:

Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject [INCIDENT $message id]

Any help would be appreciated.

When compiling elog on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks), I get the error below.

Elog will compile without error if I add -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 to CFLAGS in Makefile, but I'm not sure whether this is a good idea.

$ make

Ok, I tried updating my SVN working copy, but I didn't get any updates past elog rev. 2494, mxml rev. 74.  I undid my changes to Makefile, tried to compile, but got the same errors.  

I then pulled down elog and mxml with git, and these are working for me with no errors.  Thanks!
