Is there somewhere I can change the file extension / app associations ? When I open an ".ods" attachment ELOG lets me pick the app . If I open a ".eml" it dumps me into the browser. At the system level ".eml" is associated with "thunderbird"

 

ELOG on RPI4B , 3.1.5

Client Kubuntu Linux

All,

I would like to know if there is a way in elog to populate a field based on the value of another field. What I want to do is have a field with a few selections (a menu) and another text field that populates based on what I select from the menu.

 

Is this possible?

Hi,

Here's a suggestion that you may or may not want to apply. It would be nice if there existed a config file (or a syntax in the existing elog.cfg file) that permitted sites to define their own ELCode patterns.

Let me give you a usage case. I thought it would be nice to have LaTeX expressions show up automatically on my group's ELog installation if they entered them like this: [math]x^2 + y^2 = r_0^2[/math] So in the source code file elogd.c, I hacked in the following additions to the definition of pattern_list[]:
   {"[math]", "<img src = \"http://borex.princeton.edu/mimetex?"},
   {"[/math]", "\" border = \"0\" align = \"absmiddle\" />"},
and recompiled ELog.

What this does is convert the LaTeX expression into a URL that uses the "mimetex" CGI program installed on my server to output a GIF file of the equation. So my users can have inline math expressions in their log entries, like this: . Obviously this is far too site-specific to be added to the official ELog code (unless you want to embed mimetex code into the server, which I kind of doubt Smile ). But it would be nice if I could specify these patterns in a config file without having to edit the source code and recompile each time I want to install a new ELog version!

Presumably others could find a use for site-specific ELCode markup too (logos, custom smilies, etc.)

Thanks for your time.

We are using elog as a small database system, today we came across a 
problem where 2 people were editing the same record and the first one to 
submit his changes were overwritten when the second person submitted his.

Is there anyway to lock a logbook record when someone has pressed EDIT, 
maybe set a flag in the logbook entry so it has to be unlocked when its 
submitted by the originator or by an administrator.

Many Thanks

Can you consider implementing the following additions to the functionality

1) Subt on edit <attribute> = xyz 

This would be fantastic for implementing version control so you can see who 
has edited a posted or a db entry.

2) Have a SORT fieldname flag so you can decide which column to sort things 
by on a display listing in conjunction to the display flags, it current 
defaults to the # column and I find i am directly linking to a sorted 
display

3) Have the elogd.conf track actual log entries people have changed 
detailing date and time etc.

4) Ability to export contents of the log books to files on disk for backup 
purposes as all data is contained within a single log file which causes 
problem for command line searches.


Many thanks

Dear colleagues,

I have edited my own style sheets for elog, but if I use the reply function while having fckedit as editor, the quotations have the standard elog colors, not mine. With elog's own editor, I get my colors. I figured out that fckedit inserts the quote as HTML-block with "hard coded" colors, but I am not able to find the template fckedit uses for it! Does anyone know the path to this template?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

I currently testing last ELOG version from git in a docker with LDAP activated (https://hub.docker.com/r/usinagaz/elog-ldap). The goal is to use it on Synology NAS server, associated with local LDAP server.

 

The reverse proxy is done by embedded DSM nginx, according to FDQN associated to ELOG service (elog.corp.com). In Docker, URL is set to elog.corp.com.

All is good, but when I post any enclosure in any elog post, the elogd exits and docker is automatically restarted. The browser shows an error 405 generated by nginx server.

 

Do you have any idea of the cause of this problem  ?

 

Thanks for help.

Laurent
