Hi - again a configuration question.

How can I suppress all email notifications? The "Suppress default = 2" flag 
allows me to always produce a notification, but the flag does not provide 
an option to never produce a notification. The flag "Suppress Email on 
edit" does help a bit, but still notifications for new messages will be 
sent.

I'm looking forward to your fast response... So far your support is 
fantastic!

hi again,

we have been doing a bit of stress testing for Elog. The most important 
thing we found is that Elog stops responding when a user uploads a large 
attachment (we used a 240 Mb attachment). 

Is it possible to add a flag in the configuration file, to specify the 
maximum size of an attachment?

Hi,

I have an ELOG installation on a RedHat linux server, called myserver. I 
can connect to this server with the following entries in the elogd.cfg file:
   [global]
   URL=http://myserver:8080
This works fine. I can log in, select logbooks, edit/create entries etc. 
etc.

However, I want this connection to be encrypted. So I activate stunnel (v4) 
in such a way that stunnel listens to port 8081 and forwards to the 
("remote") port 8080, which is the "original" elog port. I change the URL= 
entry in de elogd.cfg file to URL=https://myserver:8081 in order to use the 
SSL encrypted connection.

At this time, when I connect to https://myserver:8081 I get the 
welcome/login screen, but when I enter the (correct) username and password, 
the elog program does not show the contents of the logbook buts shows the 
loginscreen again. If I enter a wrong username/password, I do get a correct 
error-screen. So it seems that the connection is correct, but there is some 
sort of problem in ELOG. Anyone who can give me a hand here?

Hi Stefan.

I have been "playing" around with this great tool and found an interesting "issue" ...

I use multiple logbooks and have both "Protect Selection page = 1" and "Expand Selection Page = 1".

When I open my elog, I get a Standard Login Screen with the Standard Bottom Text "ELOG V2.7.5-2130" which will link to your this website.

When I "Logout" and "Login" again from the Logbook page, I get another Login Screen with my own "Bottom text login" which will link to my own elog page.

How can I apply my own Bottom Text to the Standard Login Screen ?

Thanks & Regards, Barend
 

Stefan,

I have defined the "Bottom Text Login = ..." in each Logbook Configuration section. But when I use this option in the Global Section, ELOG fails to start.

 Hi Stefan,

Hope you have enjoyed the Christmas week.

Sorry for the delay.... I have tested your configuration and it worked for me as well. 

In order to determine, which of my settings is causing the problem, I had to activate each individual entry "one by one" and check if the error re-occured. I finally identified following entry "Protect Selection page = 1"

The error also occurs if I change your configuration into:

[global]
port = 8080
Bottom text = <center>Hello</center>
Bottom text login = <center>Login Hello</center>
Password file = passwd
Protect Selection page = 1

Can you advise if I'm missing an entry in order for "Protect Selection page = 1" to work?

Hi Stefan,

Happy New Year!

I ran several searches thru the forum but I could not detect a suitable entry on the following:

Is it possible to hide/un-hide the Commands, like "Edit", "Reply", "Duplicate", from the Menu based upon an Option of an Attribute?

E.g. Attributes = Status, .. | Options Status = Open, Closed

When Status = "Open"; the Menu Commands "Edit", "Reply" and "Duplicate" are available.

When Status = "Closed"; the Menu Commands "Edit", "Reply" and "Duplicate" are hidden/not available.

-or-

Can this only be accomplished using 2 Logbooks (Open / Closed) and move an entry from "Open" to "Closed" where the Logbook "Closed" is not using the Commands  "Edit", "Reply", "Duplicate".

Kind regards,

Barend

Hi Stefan,

I have observed following behavior when I move entries from one logbook to another:

1. The first entry in "Open" get ID "1"
2. When I move this Item to "Closed", it will keep ID "1" as I have used "Preserve IDs = 1"
3. A new entry in "Open" gets ID "1" again
4. When I move this item to "Closed" it will overwrite the previous ID "1" in "Closed"
5. A new entry in "open" gets ID "1" again....

Every new entry in "Open" will get the next higher ID Number related to the highest available ID number/entry in "Open".

Upon "move to Closed", the previous entries in "Closed"will be overwritten.

Is there a way to prevent the usage of a previously used ID Number when entering a new ID?
I.e. If an entry with ID "1" has been used in "Open" and moved to "Closed", have the next entry in "Open" use ID "2"?

Kind regards,

Barend
