  69559   Fri Sep 23 01:32:15 2022 Entry Dan Wittemandrwitteman@physics.ucsd.eduQuestionLinux3.1.4-3Need help with permission

Hello,

I have just installed elog onto an ubuntu focal server using <sudo make install> and I am unable to create new entries.

When I access the log via a windows PC connected to the local network, I can see the demo logbook with the 1 test post, but I cannot create or edit anything.

Attempting to post throws the error:

New entry cannot be written to directory "/usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/"

Please check that it exists and elogd has write access and disk is not full.

 

 

Please point me in the right direction to correctly set permissions and create aditional log books.

 

Thanks,

Dan

Dear Developers

I know this topic i on and off in this forum but it seems the only updated versions of Elog are in the linux binaries. Have anybody been able to compile a windows versions since 2018?

Kind Regards Finn

Is it possible to have within elog (defined in password file?) a user group so that only those members of a group have certain elements visible?

Hello,

I noticed the wikipedia article of the ELOG got deleted in November 2021.
With the reason: "Poorly sourced article, and I was not able to find good sources myself."

I could access the old article through web.archive.org, but for the project it would be good, if the article got revived.

A new version 3.1.5 of elog has been released with all accumulated fixes over the past actually few years. I made a tar file, a RPM, but I could not compile yet a windows version.

Best,

  69693   Fri Sep 15 21:42:38 2023 Entry Konstantin Olchanskiolchansk@triumf.caBug reportOtherlatestupdate elog downloads page
The elog downloads page is slightly out of date, https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html

1) the "git clone" instructions work (but there is no git tags corresponding to different releases, I suggest adding test: "elog developers 
recommend always using latest version from elog git repository").

2) "elog source code", recommends downloading tar file, but latest tar file is from February 2023, probably out of date. people who can compile elog 
from sources can do "git clone", is the "tar" method still relevant?

3) windows binaries, latest available is from 2018, before the famous security fixes, probably no longer safe for running on the open internet. I 
suggest we remove this section and say "sorry, windows binaries no longer available".

4) linux binaries, all links are dead, and we have requested removal of elog packages from red hat, debian and ubuntu. (and they have been removed).

K.O.

The maximum number or attributes is 100.

Is it possible to increase this?

Thanks!

Hello,
  I am using template for some elogbook entries.

Is is possible to automatically change the template using the actual date in some filed. 

Something like: the template has a place-holder <start date> and this is replaced with today's date when a new entry is created.

I already have a "date" filed which is automatically filled, but I've been asked to have the date also in the template.

Thanks in advance
Stefano
