You shoudl start elogd interactively in a DOS box to see if there is any error. Maybe disk full or a network problem... 

 It is running on a linux box, we have started in it in a telnet session, and no errors appear, as I am new to e-log is there an error log anywhere.

 Have fixed this by removing the last added user from the Passwd file.

Thanks, Stefan (why is this answer down under my name!?)

I couldn't find reference to this in the documentation.  In the case I referred to, I'll have to play with the pdf so that
the six pages I actually want displayed are.

Howdy and Thank you in advance.

       Can I limit an elog entry mails to only go to my e-mail, my supervisor and the person who is entering the elog entry.  I have the Elog server on Windows XP Pro running version 2.7.8.2282.

Thank you

Paul

Hi,

I'm trying to implement top groups and started with the sample configuration shown in the 'Syntax of elogd.cfg' chapter of the documentation. But now I'm facing a problem with the links in the logbook selection page.

Here's my group configuration:

Group Linux PCs = Red Hat, Debian, Mandrake
Group Windows PCs = NT, XP

Top group engineering = Linux PCs, Windows PCs
Top group administration = Employees, Purchases
Show top groups = 1
 

The selection page for the top groups is displayed correctly, but the URL for the groups beneath the top group is incorrect. The URL for the Linux PCs group for instance is http://localhost:8080/engineering/engineering/ . The URLs for the logbooks within the Linux PCs groups is correct (e.g. http://localhost:8080/Debian/)

Has anybody an idea what's going wrong in y configuration?

Bertram

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it in the intermediate release 278-4 which is ready for download. 

 Thanks for the quick bug fix.

Is it possible to automatically go back to the list view in summary mode after submitting a new message instead of displaying the new message?

I know it's possible to display a page from a file after submitting a new message  by using "Submit Page = <file>". 
It would be nice to be able to use a command like "Submit Page = <command>" where I could insert "?cmd=Back" as in the "Start page" command.

Thanks,

Mike

I just implemented a new flag "List after submit = 1" which does exactly this. It brings you to the summary page after the submission of a new entry. I needed the function myself. The change is SVN revision 2327 and will be contained in the next release. 

 Sorry so long getting back to you, Stefan. Just wanted to say "thank you". This new function works great!

Hello,

I have a problem when I try to edit an existing entry. I want to add an attachment. I can upload an attachment to the existing entry, but submitting it does not seem to work. The  added attachment is not visible. But it exists in logbook directory. The only way I found to add it, is to use "Resubmit as new entry" which is not quite what I want. Is it a design feature or perhaps I'm doing something wrong ?

I need to reproduce this problem in order to fix it. Do you see the same problem on the "Demo" forum?

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/

I'm sorry for the false alert :(. I was trying to submit edited entry using "upper submit" (just under the logbook name strip). I have tried "lower submit" (under Attachment 2) and it works with no problem. 

Well, also the "upper submit" button should work. I just tried at the demo logbook, and it worked fine (there is however now the problem that one has to click Submit twice to make it work). Can you check yourself? 

 

 

    Stefan,

I have checked it and it behaves exactly as you have described it. Perhaps this "double click"  has led me to that false conclusion ?
