Hi,
  I reopen this old thread since I'm having a similar problem.

I'm running ELOG V3.1.1-0767eb0 on ubuntu with webserver authentication, and I'd like to remove 'active' checkbox as well.

The problem that we found is that if any user click on the [Set None] button at the bottom of the Config page in order to unsubscribe from all mail notification, *all* the checkbox are toggled, not only those for the email notification. And this includes 
also the "active user" as well.
Moreover, if an user click directly on the "active user" checkbox, a warning dialog box appears, asking for confirmation, but this is not the case is [Set none] is pressed: so, in that case, a user deactivate itself without warning.

Looking at the web page as well as at the code, I did not find a possibility, but maybe someone knows better.

Thanks in advance,
  Stefano

way this would happen.

Hi,
  a possible solution is to change the current SetAll() and SetNone() javascript functions to something like:


  <!--
function SetNone()
{
  for(var i=0,els=document.querySelectorAll('[name^="sub_lb"]'); i<els.length; i++)
  {
    els[i].checked = false;
  }
}
function SetAll()
{
  for(var i=0,els=document.querySelectorAll('[name^="sub_lb"]'); i<els.length; i++)
  {
    els[i].checked = true;
  }
}
//-->

It works on Chromium 58.x and Firefox 53.x, I don't know about other browsers.

The javascript snippet is generated in function elogd.c: void show_config_page(LOGBOOK * lbs) (line 13960-984 on my version of the source code).

Best,
  Stefano

Dear experts,
   I have an elog with an attribute with fixed values, like this:

Attributes = Half
Options Half = +x, -x, both

It works fine, but I would like to find (or quick filter) all entries with Half=+x .

If I go to the search form, I can select +x from the dropdown menu for Half, but the search returns no result, even if I do have a number of entries with Half=+x. Likewise if I try to do the same with Quick filter.

I believe that this is due to the fact that the search uses regex, and "+" is reserved. I've tried to perform a search by entering manually and escaped "\+x", and it works as intended.

https://.../?mode=summary&reverse=0&reverse=1&npp=20&Half=%5E%5C%2Bx%24

However, since this attribute has a list of fixed values, it is not possible to entry manually something different "\+x" than what is defined in the config, that is "+x".

Is there a solution for this problem?

I would rather not change the attributes options (to, say, positive/negative), since that would mean changing manually a non negligible number of entries.

thanks,
  Stefano

Hi,
  sorry to bother again on this issue, but it is causing me some trouble, as many of my users are using the "SetNone" button in their config page, and doing so they deactivate their account, which I have to re-activate manually.

The warning about "Are you sure you want to deactivate your own account ..." is actually triggered only when someone toggle the "active" radio button, but not when the "SetNone" function is used. In that case no warning is present, and the user just deactivate his/her account. I'm sure that this is not the intended behavior.

I attach a modified version of elogd.c (based on git c1866af75bb2fe62aa868c4cf562f43a08e4b499 ) with the modified javascript I proposed earlier in this thread.

Hi, 
  I have an elogbook which sends notifications to subscribers, plus, if the "Type" is "New Run", it sends the notification to a different mailing addeess and with a different subject (which need to be parsed by 
a script, but that's not relevant). All works fine: the snippet of config is below.

Attributes = Subject, Author, Type
Options Type = New Run{1}



Email All = all@experiment.org
Use Email Subject = [demo] $Subject from $Author

Email Type "New Run" = new-run@experiment.org
{1} Use Email Subject = NEWRUN

However, I'd like that the notification is always sent to all@experiment.org for all entries with the standard subject, and *also* to new-run@experiment.org in case of new run with the customized one.
Apparently with the config that I'm using this is not happening, and the "new run" are only sent to new-run@experiment.org (w/ subject NEWRUN).
I could easily add the generic address in addition to new-run@experiment.org, ie:

Email Type "New Run" = new-run@experiment.org, all@experiment.org

but in this case the subject would be "NEWRUN", while I'd like it to be "[demo] $Subject from $Author".

Any idea about how this can be done?

thanks in advance, Stefano

Dear all,
  I have some logbook which uses preset text depending on some option values, and uses text files for this.

something similar to:

Options Type = Start of shift{1}, 2h{2}, 4h{3}, 6h{4}, End of shift {5}

{1} Preset text = MCProdStart.txt
{2} Preset text = MCProd2h.txt
{3} Preset text = MCProd4h.txt
{4} Preset text = MCProd6h.txt
{5} Preset text = MCProdEnd.txt

I wonder if there is a way to change/edit the text files from the web interface if you are admin of that logbook, or if the only way is to change the files directly in the elog server.

thanks Stefano

Hi,
  I'm using elog 3.1.3 and I have an elogbook with an attribute with name 
Attributes = Author, CO2 Temp [deg], ...

If I add this attributes to quick list, 
Quick filter = Author, CO2 Temp [deg]

it does display on web page, but the search fails with "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" if I leave the default value in the corresponding quick filter box.

My understanding is that the presence of a "[]" in the default search value is the reason for failure and if I remove them the search works fine.

Is there a workaround?

I don't want to change the attribute name, since I do have quite a large number of entries in the elogbook, and I'd like to keep the attribute in the quick search if possible.

Thanks,
  Stefano
