icon5.gif   "full" only changes color, posted by Kees Bol on Mon Aug 1 11:58:43 2005 
Hi,
I have the strange problem that when changing to "full"-diplaymode the output looks the same as with "summary", only the color is different. The texts don't appear.
Any idea what can cause this behaviour?

thanks
Kees Bol

Can you send me your elogd.cfg ?

Have you made sure that the entries do contain some text? The behaviour you describe usually happens if you have entries without any text.

Well, I guess that causes it. In the summary-view there is no visible text.
I thougt when choosing the full-view the text would appear along with the other attributes.

My config-file is:
================================================================
Theme = default

Attributes = Author, Type, Subject
Required Attributes = Type, Subject
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

Options Type = Question, Configuration, Problem, Info, Other

List Display = ID, Date, Author, Type, Subject
Thread display = $Subject, posted by $Author on $Date

Menu commands = Back, New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Last 10, Change password, Logout, Help

Quick filter = Date, Type
Summary lines = 0

Start page = ?rsort=Date

; alleen eigen messages editen
Restrict edit = 1

That's how it is supposed to be. I tried your config file, added three entries, and got the behaviour documented in the attached images. To me everything looks fine.

Stefan, the output you see I expected to see with my logbook too but I don't.
I will upgrade to V2.6.0-beta3, perhaps that solves the problem.

Stefan, I installed V2.6.0-beta3 and there is a (unwanted) difference. The Text field now appears in the summary-view despite the config specifies:

List Display = ID, Logdate, Author, Book, Chapter, Type, Subject

so in my opinion the text-field should not show up here.

Now the full-view indeed shows the complete texts.

I also attached the complete config-file because perhaps I overlook some details.


Another point: there was some discussion about v2.6.0-beta3 being slow.
I have v2.6.0-beta and v2.6.0-beta3 running side by side on the same server and notice also a big difference in speed, beta3 being much slower.

If you do not want text display in the summary view, add

Summary lines = 0

into your config file.

This is still a mystery to me, since on all machines I try the speed is fine. I'm still waiting for some debugging analysis from users which have this problem. If I cannot reproduce it, I cannot fix it.

After upgrading to v2.6.0-beta4 everything works fine now.

I attempted to install the newest version of elog on our site elog server from an old old version.  Around 2008 I believe.  I then received an application failed to initialize properly 0xc0150002 after installing the newest version.  I then tried installing the Feb 2013 version and received the same message.  Panicked, I rolled back our server to its state yesterday.  I would like to update our elog software, anyone know why I am receiving this error??

 Hi Norm. I have not much experience with windows, but I can give you my two cent on how to proceed:

  • Check the old elogd version. It is shown at the bottom of your elog web page (this forum shows ELOG V2.9.2-2475).
  • Copy your logbook data to a different PC, maybe your office PC.
  • Then compile the latest elog on your office PC, run it with the copied data and access it as http://localhost:8080 (or whatever port number you are using)
  • If it is still crashing: re-compile it using "make debug" and run it from a debugger (I don't know any C-debugger for Windows). Post the precise error message.

Try:

/usr/local/sbin/elogd -h

This is the path for Linux, it is likely different on Windows. But you could just run "elogd -h" in the directory where you compile elogd.

It should print out the version in the first line.

icon5.gif   hyperlink other elog posts, posted by Remington Tyler Thornton on Tue May 28 19:01:42 2013 

I am on an experiment that used ELOG for all documentation and meeting notes. In our meeting notes we link to elog posts that had been discussed during the meeting. We had done this by hyperlinking the URL to the entry. Recently we had to move our logbook to another machine and so none of our hyperlinks work since the URLs have changed. I noticed that when one creates a new entry in the subject they can reference another post. Is there a way to link another elog in the body of the elog by using its logbook name and id number without having to use a URL?

Thanks in advance

This is one of the rare cases where it helps to read the manual: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html#add (You may need to upgrade to elog 2.9)

If you want to replace the old URLs with the new ones, you can edit the logbook files with the entries. The attached script allows you to do so easily. But be careful, try it on a copy of your data first.

icon5.gif   Elog command line problem, posted by Razvan Gornea on Tue May 28 09:16:18 2013 

I'm trying to use the command line to post automatically entries from a web based calendar. I run elogd behind SSL with user/pass configuration. I created an account for the calendar and used the following command line.

[gornea@lheppc63 ~]
$ elog -v -s -a Subject=Test -a Type=Notice -a Category=Planning -h svn.lhep.unibe.ch -p 443 -l "LHEP EXO General" -u calendar ******** "SORRY for SPAMMING! Testing automated posts from command line"

It seems like all parameters are OK but for some reason the connection gets closed. Anybody has an idea why? The SSL certificate is not valid and on the web page users have first to accept it. Can this explain the problem? Is there a flag for elog command line to instruct it to ignore SSL warnings? Thanks a lot!

On many of my logbooks when I specify the menu commands to appear i will get one, usually 'List', which has a
link not back to the logbook itself but to the root of the elog web server i.e. http:/hostname.domain:8080 
But nothing will respond without the logbook name after the port number.  This also seems to be happening to the
"back" submit button.  I can't seem to figure out how to address it.  Suggestions?

Can you show us your config? I had this issue when i was initially trying to integrate elog with apache.

Your usage of "Top group" is strange. Top groups should only be used for independent groups of logbooks, more like you were running one dedicated sever fore 
a group of logbooks. Further, you defined logbooks (2008, 2009, ...) which do not exist in your config. Why don't you just remove the "Top group" line from your 
config? If you want to group different logbooks, just use the "group" command as written in the docs.
