ELOG Forum

What about using something like MySQLfs to get a db backend transparently to ELOG? I use ENCFS, (a FUSE backend), currently to achieve encrypted logbooks and it works fine -- ELOG never knows anything other than reading and writing to logbook files. From what I've read, the MySQLfs backend would work the same, and you likely would gain some of the caching benefits of MySQL, which might help with your read/search times, given the memory requirements of the database of course.

We have been running elog for a few years now and its solid. The only thing is we are getting to 140k entries over a few books and its starting to slow down whist searching. My questions is can we go to an SQL type database rather than a flat file? Is it worth it? Is anyone running this type of configuration?

Global password file together with guest account

Hello,

is it possible to have an guest account together with a global password file?

I tried to put the password file statement into the global section of
elogd.cfg. But in this case every user must login and it is not possible to
have a read only guest account. 
But if I put the password file statemnet into the logbook sections, it is
possible to access the logbooks in read-only mode without logging in. The
drawback of this solution is, that you have to login into every logbook
seperately.

[global]
Port = 8080

Logging level = 3
Self register = 1

Logout to main = 1
Logbook tabs = 1

Password file = ./passwd

Guest menu commands = Back, Find, Login, Help
Guest find menu commands = Find, Select, Login, Help

Yes, that is what I want.

Stefan,
thank you for the fast implementation of this feature. I compiled the new revision and
it worked as expected.

Kind regards,

Long lines in printout

Hi,

long lines in an entry are not printed correctly (the lines are cut off), if the text is encoded as plain text. This works correctly, if the text is encoded as ELCode. I tried this with Firefox and Internet Explorer. Does anybody know a solution for this?

Thanks,
Bertram

the lines are displayed as expected on the screen, but they are cut off when the browser window is printed via
the browsers print function.
This did not occur in a previous version (V2.5.6).
