Forgive me I'm not incredibly Elog savy yet.
A little backround about this log book - I have our log set up as individual user names. The log book is designed for entrys to be made when a process shutdown needs to be bypassed. The operator will create an entry and submit it. Then a supervisor will come in after and review/approve it. I've removed the edit function, but left the "Reply" option available for the supervisor to go into the same entry and check off the "Reviewed" attribute. When the reviewed attribute is checked off, even with a different logged in author the next entry ID still shows the original author that put in the entry rather then the author who clicked reviewed. If there a way to get around this?
[Process Bypass]
Comment = (Not in use right now, currently developing)
Attributes = Author, Date/Time of Bypass, Equipment Name, Device Tag, Supervisor Sign-off,
Moptions Supervisor Sign-off = Reviewed
List Menu commands = New, Find, Logout
Menu Commands = New, Find, Reply, Logout
Required Attributes = Date/Time of ByPass, Equipment Name, Device Tag

Re: Escape character [ or ] doesn't work within [url], posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Jul 18 23:37:22 2016

The URL encoding of ']' as '%5D' appears to work:
[url=http://example.com?arrays[%5D=v1&arrays[%5D=v2]click here[/url]

Here is the problem:
[url=http://example.com?arrays[]=v1&arrays[]=v2]click here[/url]
How can I escape [] inside url tag?
\[\] seems not working.

Re: string length limit in url tag, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Jul 21 06:15:44 2016

Several strings in ELOG are limited to 256 chars. It is likely the limit for URLs, too.
The magic number "256" appears 285 times in the elogd.c file.
It is probaly easier if you compress long URLs with goo.gl
Cheers, Andreas

What is the string length limit in url tag and how to increase it?
For example,
[url=http://example.com?<text_string>]click here[/url]
When I provide very long <text_string>, it was truncated and showed partial link only.

Re: Sample of actual elog Config with URL in SSL, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Aug 4 21:53:37 2016

Very easy: uncomment the line USE_SSL=1 in the Makefile and then compile.
You'll need of course a gcc compiler on your Windows system, a makefile environment, SSL libraries, etc.. If you don't have that: ask you local administrator.

how do I compile elogd with USE_SSL=1?
| Andreas Luedeke wrote: |

You normally don't need to specify "URL = xxx" at all. It is only needed if you work with a Proxy that changes the normal ELOG URL. And yes, you'll need "Port = 433" and "SSL =1".
And elogd must be compiled with USE_SSL=1, maybe that's your problem?
In addition you should buy a valid SSL certificate. Otherwise every user needs to acknowledge an exception for your invalid SSL certificate.

HI Guys,
Can you please give me an idea how will I write in the config. I want my elog will be accessed via internet. Though there's a tutorial / guideline, I need an actual config file for me to easily grasp how the URL = xxx should be write. Do my port should be Port = 433 and SSL=1?
Thanks,
Raymund

You need to download the source file package of ELOG and compile it. If you don't know what a Makefile is, then it is likely futile for you to attempt to compile ELOG.
Or in other words: you cannot use SSL.

By the Makefile i belive you are refering to the elogd.cfg? if not what file do I have use?
I have added
port = 443
ssl = 1
Without sucess.
I then tried
port = 443
use_ssl = 1
still no sucess.
I cant find any file that has "#USE_SSL =1" that I can uncomment. I am using an older version of ELOG (ELOG278-2) reading all the documentation I cant seem to figure it out.
I also configured elogd to listen on port 443
Opened a CMD window and entered >elogd -p 443
Says listening on port 443 but still not working.
On the most curent version of ELOG 3.1.0 I just modify the elogd.cfg added ssl = 1 and change the port to 443 and everthing works as advertised. I do the same on this version and I cant get it working. I could really use some help. Thanks for the fast response.

You've already named your solution: drop the very old ELOG version and download the new one. Obviously it was compiled with USE_SSL and you can use it right away.
Since you probably don't even have the source files of the old version, you'll have no chance to make it work with that. Just use ELOG 3.1.0.

Re: Quick Filter not searching on Enter, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Aug 11 09:18:27 2016

I've checked for this forum logbook, and pressing "enter" while having focus in the quickfilter text field does initiate the search. Does it work for you with this logbook?
| Alan Grant wrote: |

With all of our instances of Elog where we have Quick Filters enabled, any filter that we input characters into does not search the server when we press enter (there is no "Search" button). Interestingly, it will only search when we click anywhere on a blank area of the Elog interface. Is that the intended procedure for searching?

Re: elog client cmd line submission of attributes with spaces., posted by Andreas Luedeke on Sat Aug 20 12:17:10 2016
|
If the "Start Time" attribute is of the type "datetime", then you cannot assign a date string to it.
Instead you'll have to assign the seconds of the epoch.
Try assigning a "0", that should be the 1st of January 1970.
I hope that helps,
Andreas

While trying to make entries from the command line I get an error that I am missing a required attribute.

Is this the expected behavior or a bug when submitting to the elog client in Windows?

You can see where I have multiple attributes with spaces. Below you see where the name shows an underscore instead of a space.
