(For some reason I could not add this in Dennis's thread.)

I like this new feature, BUT

I happen to have two Options:   Options System, and Options Status.

System are a very few items, whereas Status has a long list, which, like Dennis's example, can be added to. 
Keeping the latter in alpha order is great, but it's a shame that the cost is that Options System are also
sorted alphabetically, whereas it has a natural order which it would be preferable to keep - for example (and
this is made up)

Options System: 3.1, NT, 2000, XP, Vista

where the natural order here is chronological.

Perhaps the configuration file option could be more specific, for example

Sort attribute Options Status = 1

which would then NOT sort Options System.  If both are needed to be sorted, both should be specified, or back to
the original syntax which defaults to sort *all* Options.

Bonjour,

tout est dans le titre.

Merci

 

For those who speak strange languages, I asked how to get a french version of elog.

 

By the way, this is my second mail because I forgot to give an icon to the first mail, and when I hit Back to do so, my text was erased. Bug or normal obnoxious attitude of my browser ?

Thanks in advance

 

Philippe

I've defined a comment or a tooltip for an attribute.
But the text is only shown in NEW/EDIT/REPLY mode, not in detail view.
Is this a bug or how can I enable the text (especially Comment) in
this view?

Hi Stefan,

Good day. I'm thinking if this wishlist is already available in elog. The values in columns we're added or computed according to formula set in a single separate column.

 

Thanks,

 

Raymund

Hello,
   I feel that the filter result could be confusing and unexpected when "COLLAPSE TO LAST" is enabled: you 
filter the first entry but you show the last one. What is filtered doesn't correspond with what is shown (look 
the attached example). 

I suggest to implement an option to let the user decide which entry (first or last) should be retrieved for 
filtering (a tentative patch is attached).

Thank you 

    Gabriele

P.S. A similar behaviour occurs when you sort the logbook: it could appear as not sorted because you sort the 
first entry but the last one is shown.
  1196   Fri Jun 17 20:30:53 2005 Question Gerfried Kumbartzkikum@physics.rutgers.eduQuestionLinux2.6.0Cloning
Elog is installed on a laptop (Redhat Linux 2.4.20-8) for quite a while. I like to have a "base" of that logbook on a server and keep it
in sync. Mirroring seem to be the perfect solution. For that I updated to elog v2.6.0 yesterday.

The server is an Alpha running Linux Redhat 7.1. I compiled from elog-latest.tar and installed elog in the 'same' locations as on the laptop.
Created a user elog and a group elog, put elogd.cfg, themes, logbooks ... in /usr/local/elog, owned by elog. Started the elogd, tested,
all seems to work. The elogd.cfg has a read and write passwd set. Any user can access the logbook, read and write after providing the proper user id and password.
Next I wanted to clone the logbooks from the laptop to the server. As superuser I can start elogd -v -C http://latop:8080, but get stuck right away with "Cannot contact elogd at http://laptop:8080/"
As user it works as follows:

Remote configuration successfully received.

Option "Mirror server = http://wotan.rutgers.edu:8080" added to config file.
Logbook directory "logbooks" successfully created.
Created directory "demo"
Indexing logbook "demo" ... Found empty logbook "demo"
Created directory "tfexp"
Indexing logbook "tfexp" ... Found empty logbook "tfexp"

Retrieve remote logbook entries? [y]/n:

Retrieving entries from "http://wotan.rutgers.edu:8080/demo"...
ID1: Remote entry received

Retrieving entries from "http://wotan.rutgers.edu:8080/tfexp"...
Error accessing remote logbook

Cloning finished. Check elogd.cfg and start the server normally.

Allthough, tfexp contains a number of entries all owned by elog like the entry in demo.
Beside missing the real stuff everything ends up in the users home directory. I would like it in the general area (/usr/local/elog for instance).

The other option is to use synchronize after changing [global] from with in the browser. Start elogd, open the logbook and click on config,
enter a Mirror server = http://laptop:8080/
Clicking synchronize give "Error accessing remote logbook"

Again, the logbooks are on both machines in /usr/local/elog/logbooks (owner:group elog:elog). The tfexp in this case is passwd protected.
Any user can access the elogs in both machines, locally or remote. But, I'm unable to synchronize the two.
Maybe somebody can point me in the right direction.

Thank's Gerfried
  67027   Tue Mar 15 21:38:01 2011 Question Louis de Leseleuclouis.deleseleuc@nrc-cnrc.gc.caBug reportLinux2.9.0Cleaning up attachments

I noticed a behavior that might be irritating. 

After attaching/uploading files to an entry and before submitting it, one might press 'Back' or close the browser window.

This in effect cancels the entry and sends into oblivion. HOWEVER the attachments and their thumbnail files remain on the server forever.

Would there be a way to either delete attachments after some time if they don't show up in an entry? Or some other magic trick with the browser? My logbook directories are already full of orphan files that I need to seek and destroy.

Also, any thoughts on automatically cleaning up a logbook directory when the damage is done?

Louis
