menu commands - user list does not match config list

I am attempting to configure the Elog for use at the CMS Remote Operations Center
at Fermilab. I included the following option:

Menu commands = List, New, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Last day, Config, Admin, Login, Logout, Help

but the available list (after restarting the elog daemon) gives me:

CMS ROC Logbook, Page 1 of 1 Logged in as "Alan Stone" ELOG Home
New | Find | Select | CSV Import | Config | Logout | Help

Did I miss a step in the syntax instructions?

Thanks, Alan

How can I configure to prevent empty entries?

I have accidentally created a couple of entries recently. It is pretty easy. I
fill in the header, type in a Subject, and then hit Enter, instead of TAB.
I have turned off the edit option intentionally.

I want to avoid this in the future. Is there a configuration option which would
confirm that the user before submitting an entry without a Body? I know I can require
attributes like Author and Subject. I am not sure I want to require a Body, in case
someone submits an entry with just an attachment (and a Subject).

Thanks, Alan

Linking two sets of logbooks

I would like to link the CMSROC ELOG at Fermilab:
http://nippon.fnal.gov:8081/
with the CMS ELOG at CERN:
https://cmsdaq.cern.ch/elog/

I am the administrator of the former. I want to keep the CMSROC logbook content
local, but I would like to make a link to the CMS CERN logbook visible from
http://nippon.fnal.gov:8081/
and ideally to have it show up as a tab from any sub-page.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Alan

Change default for suppressing email notification and/or targeting entries manually

I want to change the default for suppressing email notification.

I want to be able to send email to Elog subscribers and to other people
not yet subscribed to the Elog. However, after polling the current
subscribers, they do NOT want to receive email notification for every
new Elog entry by default.

Instead of toggling the "Suppress Email notification", I would like
to toggle "Send Email notification".

I would also like the option to add additional email addresses on the fly.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Change default for suppressing email notification and/or targeting entries manually

Thank you for your response. I do not think I posed my questions clearly. Let me try a different way.

If I set the following logbook configuration:

Suppress Email to users = 0

then, every time someone makes a new entry to that logbook, all subscribers get an email, unless
someone checks the "Suppress Email notification" box.

I want to preserve the configuration option. However, I want to invert the default check box, so
that no email is sent to subscribers unless someone takes the extra step to check a box which might
read "Send Email notification".

> You have to change the config file to add new email addresses or you have to add new users.

That would not work for non-admins. I was looking for a non-required
"email to/cc/send to" attribute. Obviously, one can just cut and paste
the entry into your email application.

The admin user can change the email subscriptions to all users in the Config page, so you just have to go through each user. Alternatively, you can stop the elog server, change the password file manually in any editor, and then restart the elog server.

You have to change the config file to add new email addresses or you have to add new users.

Setting Subject for ELog email notification

Hi,

I have the following elogd.cfg syntax:

; Email notification
Suppress Email to users = 1
Omit Email To = 1
User Email Subject = $subject
Use Email Heading Edit = $subject
Email Report Notify-CMSROC = alstone@fnal.gov

However, the resulting email is not exactly what I want:

*****************************************
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 10:43:09 -0500
From: Alan Stone <alstone@fnal.gov>
To: ELOG@fnal.gov
Subject: New ELOG entry

A new entry has been submitted on nippon.fnal.gov:

Logbookcmsroc
AuthorAlan Stone
SystemAdmin
ReportNotify-CMSROC
Subjecttest email subject again
Logbook URLhttp://nippon.fnal.gov:8081/cmsroc/85
***************************************************

1) The subject is using some default, instead of capturing the $subject string (as
it does with Reply).

2) I want to control the output header "A new entry...".

3) The formatting of email body is awkward. For example, "AuthorAlan Stone"
should have at least a space, and maybe a hyphen or colon, "Author: Alan Stone"

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Alan

Auto-refresh ELog display

We have multiple LCDs at a console, and usually one is dedicated to displaying a browser
with the local ELog. Meanwhile, others are making entries from another machine. If
no one clicks on refresh, the ELog display becomes stale. Is there a method to have
the ELog reload every X minutes?

Thanks, Alan

Re: Auto-refresh ELog display

I appreciate your posting of the JavaScript. However, I have no idea what
to do with it. The page appears to be generated by some elog daemon. I do
not know how to hook into that.
