icon5.gif   ELOG Command Line Utility, posted by Tim Fowler on Wed Feb 9 15:40:12 2005 
I am trying to use the command line utility elog. Some of the attributes 
that I have setup are multiple options. When I run the command line 
utility to create a new message, any attribute that is setup with multiple 
options will not be filled in. The syntax I am using is as  follows:

elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l Lab -a "Site=xxxx" -a "Area=System" -
a "Priority=Low" -a "Shift=1" -a "Status=Open" -m text.txt

Site and Area are defined in the config file as MOptions. Is there a way 
to use this feature with multiple options on attributes with the 
attributes = to one or more variables?
icon5.gif   ELOG 3.0 plus and MS Windows issues., posted by William Wong on Wed Aug 5 02:59:50 2015 

Greetings all.  A few ELOG users have posted issues with ELOG 3.0 and newer not working with a variety of MS Windows operating systems,.
I have also encountered a similar problem in my environment.

For the following operating systems:        
1) Windows XP SP3 (32-bit)           
2) Windows Server 2003 SP 2 (32-bit)
when either elog.exe or elogd.exe are run from command line or file manager, the operating system reports the program is not a Win32 application.

I have other test computers that succesfully ran ELOG 3.0, 3.1 and 3.1.1
1) Windows Vista Enterprise (32-bit)
2) Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) 

Has ELOG 3.x and newer changed in regards to support for MS Windows but is not documented on the
official ELOG documentation?

Any help would be most appreciated.

NOTE: The current production ELOG I use on Windows Server 2003 is 2.92-2475 but I would like to use the

features available on the 3,.x versions.  Unfortunately, I am not able to change my production operating system.
 

icon5.gif   ELOG 'Dashboard', posted by NOCinator on Wed May 16 21:05:11 2012 

 First, I really appreciate this software. Thank you.

Next, I have question - am wanting to have a 'dashboard' of sorts that shows all entries that are 'open'. That part is easy enough. But, then I want to color the time (or some other field) if the ELOG has not been updated/created for more than X hours. This will help us keep track of events that need status updates.

Doable?

Thanks!

icon5.gif   ELOG & Selection Page, posted by G on Tue Jul 6 23:37:02 2004 elogd_cfg_sample.txt
Hello to all,

I'm trying to get ELOG to run several separate logbooks which will
eventually have their own password/user files and other little things.
The problem I have is I want to have a main selection type page so when a
user enters ELOG they see this page with links on it to main logbook groups.

So, for my example I'd have a main page INDEX1.HTML which has links to:
  /Server_Logbooks
  /Other_Logbooks

but I want those top groups to just show standard ELOG generated logbook
list once you select a link on index1.html page.
Unfortunately "Selection page = index1.html" if defined in [global] just
gets used everywhere, so once I click on a link to go to
http://elog.blah.internal/Server_Logbooks it just shows the same index1.html
selection page. So I never get to the actual logbook list...
I could make separate selection pages for each top logbook group,
but that means that I have to alter those HTML files every time I add or
remove a logbook. I'd ruther have ELOG generate those pages on the fly.

Is there any way to do this?
Could I tell ELOG not to use a selection page at all for a particular group
of logbooks, and just show the logbook list.

Thank you very much.

GL.

icon5.gif   ELCode how to with URL, posted by toumbi on Mon Aug 27 17:27:41 2007 
Hello there !!

I wonder if it's possible to write an url like this[URL=?CR=CR00000429]CR00000429[/URL] 
in fact it don't work for the moment , because it is redirected tu http:///?CR=CR00000429
is it possible to have url without http://

I have a logbook CR and a type CR and i work now in localhost but i want my elog to be accessible from anywhere.
Im not very clear but I hope you understand.

Hi,

can you think of any obvious reason why the ELCode would not work in the logbooks I set up?
I can use it here, on the forum, and on the DEMO logbook, but not on the ones I created...
Oh, and me inserting "Allowed encoding = " whatever in the config file doesn't seem to mater as well... I always get the 3 options!
Am I missing a flag somewhere?
The config file for this logbook is below...

Thanks a lot

Alex

icon13.gif   E-log crash, posted by soren poulsen on Thu May 14 17:41:44 2009 

Hi

I am having a little problem with e-log that I can easily reproduce.

I have defined a number of constraints on my e-log fields and I am testing what happens when the user does not respect them.

So this only happens when I am not observing the input formats or the mandatory fields.

This is the GDB trace. This is not very verbose, so I must learn to use the other tracers, I guess.

Server listening on port 8079 ...

icon5.gif   Dynamic substitution with date , posted by Antonio Bulgheroni on Wed Apr 20 14:19:08 2022 

Dear all, 

I would need your help with an incremental index with date information.

I want to have an incremental number made by the last two digits of the year, the two digits of the month and an incremental four digits number. 

Subst Number = %y%m####

The problem is that I don't want to have the incremental number reset to zero every new month, but rather only once a year. Is it something like this possible? 

Thanks for your help!
