icon1.gif   Exploit Browser Tabs to Make Anonymous Entries, posted by Alan Stone on Wed Jul 30 19:54:28 2008 

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.

icon3.gif   Search Find Selected or List of Logbooks instead of all Logbooks. , posted by Alan Stone on Thu Sep 4 20:49:59 2008 

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

icon5.gif   help with substituting subjects, posted by Alexander Withers on Wed May 6 20:49:24 2009 

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.

icon5.gif   Compilation failure on Mac OSX 10.9, posted by A.G. Schubert on Tue Nov 5 23:21:52 2013

All over sudden gcc comes with its own version of "strlcpy", which I had defined "manually" since many years inside ELOG. Using -DFORTIFY_SOURCE=0 will not harm, so you can use it. The "real" solution is to take our ELOG's strlcpy/strlcat, which I did on the current SVN version.

Best regards,
Stefan 

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!
