When I define 2 attributes, by default and the second one has to be showed
depending on the first one value the elog correctly handle the thing, but
the rss feed shows an empty comma separeted field corresponding to the
conditional attribute not filled ...

Hi

Im just curious is it possible to run more then one command using Execute new = <command> or will i have to run a script to run muliple commands.

I tried using '&&' to seperate more then one command but it seems that the first one only gets executed and the rest are just ignored.

Regards

Kenzo

I have been trying to build and run elog under Mac OS  X 10.2.6, without sucess.  I 
understand that this is not one of the 'supported' platforms, but I hope that there is someone   
here who might know the work-around to my problem.

I've tried building elog 2.2.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7, and 2.3.8.  I've tried using the compiler that comes 
in the Mac OS X 10.2 box, as well as the gcc-based compiler supplied in Apple's Dec 2002 
developer update (gcc 3.1), and the June '03 update as well (gcc 3.3).

elog builds without error in all cases I tried.

When I run it, it will correctly serve the demo notebook.  However, when the user clicks on the 
test message to display it in full, there is a seg fault.

I suspect that the trouble might be with something defined in time.h.

I've run it in gdb, and the result is appended to this message.  This is for gcc 3.3 and elog 
2.3.8.


I would greatly appreciate any hints or suggestions.

Cheers, Joe

we've experienced a problem when using the safari browser to do a search in
our elog. whenever you do a search, the logbook returns an error and the
elog deamon crashes. when we first experienced this problem we were running
version 2.3.9. however, an upgrade to version 2.5.2 doesn't seem to fix the
problem. searches with other browsers (mozilla, internet explorer, ...) go
off without a hitch.
has anyone else observed a similar problem or have any ideas on how to
resolve this issue.
thanks for the help.

Is there a way, option, feature to setup the text section only to be scrollable when viewing a log entry, such that the header (meta info) section stays fixed?

Hello

I have the following in elog.cfg :

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server, Subject ,  Change Window Begin , Change Window End
List display = ID,Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server,  Subject ,  Change Window Begin , Change Window End

Type Change Window Begin = datetime
Type Change Window End = datetime

So I want to be able to give a start and end date to the user.  However : If I open a find/Search I see this :

There are for each  Change Window <item>   we get  Start: and End: time entries. Was expecting only one date entrie .

Why is this ? Seems to be a feature of datetime  or am i missing something.

Is it possible to have last runtime filtering and viewing method to be
stored in a cookie in order to make them permanent across navigation ?

I mean:
- if I decide to view "all" entries in the elog and then open one of them, 
  I'd like not to select "show all entries" again and again
- same thing if I choose to view last week
- same for every runtime filter and/or viewing option 

hope this is simple to implement :-)  thanks in advance 

I don't think there is a good secure way so far, but would like to have your opinion. 

If I want user to create logbook for themselves, what's the best way to do it? I guess Execute $attribute = <command> may work, have it write to cfg file, but obviously it impose security problem. Is there a good and secure way to allow user to create logbook themselves?
