Hi Sofian,

it should work like this:

Options Type = Fault{1}, Test{2}, Report{3}

{1} Options Fault Status = Open{a}, Fixed{b}
{2,3} Preset Fault Status = NA
{1} Preset Icon = attn.png
{2,3} Preset Icon = icon1.gif

It is described under "Multiple conditions" in the documentation (https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#conditional).

Cheers and good luck!

Andreas

Hi,

First of all, thanks for all the great work, we all thank you here at SESAME synchrotron smiley

I am trying to set a conditional attribute where selecting one option in that attribute should trigger multiple outcomes as shown below:

Options Type = Fault{1_1&1_2}, Test{2_1&2_2}, Report{2_1&2_2}

{1_1} Options Fault Status = Open{a}, Fixed{b}
{2_1} Preset Fault Status = NA
{1_2} Preset Icon = attn.png
{2_2} Preset Icon = icon1.gif

I tries adding "&" as shown but that didn't work, my goal is to have 1_1 and 1_2 triggered whenever I select "Fault" as type, how can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Sofian.

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

Here is the problem:

How can I escape [] inside url tag?

\[\] seems not working.

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
Don wrote:

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.

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.

Cheers, Andreas

 

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.

Cheers, Andreas

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,

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.

Chris Smyth wrote:

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.

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?
