I'm (mis)using elog as a database. I like the fact that I can have presets for fields, but I also like the fact 
that I can make a duplicate of an entry. Now when I make a duplicate, all the fields get overwritten with the 
preset-value. Is there a way to get the preset-values only on entering a NEW reord and NOT on a duplicate ?

I could take away the presets, most of them are "***" (literally) to be able to search for entries that do not 
have a value, but I don't know how to search for empty fields.


PS: They wanted to do a CMDB in BMC-Magic (really expensive $$$-ware), but after about 1 afternoon (and about 6 
prototypes) they went with elog since it was fast, cheap and already implemented (and filled with 200 entries 
through a script using some old CSV list we had lying around) :-) 

 

I have several date-fields defined in my logboek. But when I click the icon and select another month the pop-up 
window get's filled  with the contants of the logboek instead of the date-selection.

Date format = %Y%m%d

[quote="Angus Au"]I came across problem in compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform.

Is there any fix ? I can compile elog 2.6.0 successfully on solaris.[/quote]

There is a fix, we have 2.6.1 running on Solaris.

A colleague of me installed it and did mention something about having to go through the source and adapting the 
makefile. I didn't hear him speak of missing libraries though, I will ask him next week.

Greetings,

Last night we updated to 2.6.5 and now the <ENTER>-key on the "quick filter" searches won't work anymore in 
internet exporer (@windows). I have to use the <TAB>-key now to get the results.

The ENTER-key still works under firefox (Windows & linux) and opera (at least under linux, because 
opera@windows refuses to log me on .. whatever) and I would like to see it come back to internet explorer as 
well.

Regards,
Willem Koster

ehm... funny enough the quick-filter entry used in this elog does work with IE.  

(we're using ELOG V2.6.5-1844 btw)

update: when we try just one quick-filter it works ok, when we add our second quick-filter it stops working.

Both quick-filters are tekst-searches (just like this forum only has one tekst-search quick-filter).

We suspect that this is an explorer issue and probably not something that can be solved with elog, but ... 
maybe .. who knows...



update2:

In the source we see:

    <noscript><input type="Submit" value="Search"></noscript> 

If we remove the <noscript> </noscript> tags we get a submit-button, but our problem seems to be solved. 
(obviously hacking the source-code is not our primary choice :-)

We're using elog as our CMDB, but now management wants us to employ "web services" and I fear going to another tool (elog is fitting the admins like a glove, so we'd rather keep it)

Is it possible to configure elog to be able to run as a web-service ?  (basically getting xml-output according to a specific (SOAP) schema instead of html output)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_services

A 'Web service' (also Web Service) is defined by the W3C as "a software system designed to support interoperable Machine to Machine interaction over a network." Web services are frequently just Web APIs that can be accessed over a network, such as the Internet, and executed on a remote system hosting the requested services.

The W3C Web service definition encompasses many different systems, but in common usage the term refers to clients and servers that communicate using XML messages that follow the SOAP standard. Common in both the field and the terminology is the assumption that there is also a machine readable description of the operations supported by the server written in the Web Services Description Language (WSDL). The latter is not a requirement of a SOAP endpoint, but it is a prerequisite for automated client-side code generation in many Java and .NET SOAP frameworks (frameworks such as Spring and Apache CXF being notable exceptions). Some industry organizations, such as the WS-I, mandate both SOAP and WSDL in their definition of a Web service.

I would like to export several entries out of a logbook I have with a specific subject. 

I need to send these entries to someone who does not have elog nor can they install it.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Bill
