Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to have several drop down menus associated with a particular field. My problem is as follows, currently I have a particular field where its value is a name of a person obtained from a list of names from a drop down menu. However, I would like to be able to select on certain occasions more than one name from this same drop down list of names. 

The field name in question is "Call-out" as in the name of a person called out. I guess I could add another field say "Call-out 2" and have a drop down menu of names for this new field too but I would like to avoid this if possible. So I would like possiby to have two (or more) drop down menus side by side for this Call-out field which would each populate this one field with the names selected (if any) from each drop down menu. This way if only an a selection is made from the first drop down menu then it should work as it does currently but if an entry was also selected from the second drop down menu then both names should populate the field when the log is complete.

I hope I have been clear in my question/request? Many thanks in advance for any help or suggestions received.

We use ELOG 2.3.5 for Windows with a German language file and have found 


some new problems:




. Certain strings are not translated.


Language error: string "Plese log on by clicking on following link and 


change your password" not found for language "de"


Language error: string "A new password for user <i>"%s"</i> has been sent 


to %s" not found for language "de"




While the first string is obviously written wrong, the second one misses a 


quotation mark.






. If a user uses the new "password forgotten" function, he receives an 


email, but after having clicked the URL in the mail, he gets the following 


error message as simple text, i.e. not formatted by use of the CSS file:




Invalid URL: Notizen/?redir=%3Fcmd%3DChange%20password%26old_pwd%


3DE3ARcjI/&uname=sal&upassword=E3ARcjI/ 


Bitte benutzen Sie die Zurück-Taste Ihres Browsers ...  




Nevertheless the new password was written into the specified password file. 


(This behaviour as far as we know was also with earlier versions of ELOG.)






. If one could not log in through the button "Login", one does not receive 


an error message, but will be pushed simply back to the main page, 


status "Not logged in". (This was as far as we know was also with earlier 


versions of ELOG.)








. If you want to change as an admin the passwords of several users, it 


would be convenient, to get always back to the page, where you may choose 


the next user ... but you will be pushed back to the main page with the 


messages. (This was as far as we know was also with earlier versions of 


ELOG.)








. But the simple change of passwords for users does not always succeed: I 


have changed the password for a user A to "anuvis", the next user B should 


have gotten the same new password, but this time it was not accepted. 


Message "Wrong password". Might it be, that this goes only once because of 


an initialisation problem ? I had to edit the password file manually.








. Opera browser 7.03 simply crashes, when choosing the direct URL to our 


logbook, i.e. http://localhost:8080/logbook2. We have set a general 


password file and a different read password for each of our logbooks.


If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook1 everything is fine. We get a 


window "Authentication required" and type in simply the read password, no 


user name.


If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook2 the behaviour is different. We 


see the window "Authentication required" appear, then Opera crashes.


Change of the read passwords did not change this erroneous behaviour. This 


problem was not with version ELOG 2.3.4.




In Internet Explorer 6 all is okay.






. NOWRAP tag in Date column


The date column takes quite a lot of space in the logs overview. As the 
information is only of secondary importance I would prefer date and time 
being wrapped like e.g. the contributors name. Of course, I could help 
myself with a 
 in my language file, but this would force a break also 
on 
the single message view.

Hi,

I am having trouble with uploading large (>0.5MB) files to elog. We click on upload and in a couple of seconds, the webbrowser complains that the server has dropped the connection.

Following the suggestions I found on these forums (https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/66753), I increased the timeout.tv_sec to 30 in three locations in elogd.c, but this did not help.

The problem is present in my old elog installation (from ~2 years ago), as well as the latest git snapshot from bitbucket that I cloned on June 10, 2017.

PS: Upload seems to work for non-secure configuration. It still takes a while to load, but it completes. However we prefer to use secure connections ( SSL = 1 ).
PS: Using nmap I looked at the latency to the relevant port, it can be as high as 0.5sec, but most often it is shorter.

Cheers,
e.

Hi Stefan,

Is it possible to derive the time in a 'date/time' attribute from the Elog server?
We would like all our entries in GMT/UTC time and unfortunately as the time is currently derived from the client machines there are often entry descrepancies if the regional settings are not set correctly.

The '$entry time' variable can be used but seems to put a 1970 date in the field so bears no relevancy to an 'Event' time?

I'm also having issues with conditional entries in the Find page. If a conditional statement is used to hide attributes or change displayed attributes in the entry page then the attribute that is used in the conditional statement is not permanently selectable in the 'Find' page. It is available as a choice but as soon as selected the conditional action removes it? Is it possible to make conditional options/actions in the 'Find' page optional?

Hope that makes a little sense?

Many thanks

I'm trying to send an email based on an attribute, in other words, a lookup and not $user_email of the author.

For instance, if I set a an attribute "Assignee" with a valid user full name (i.e. John Smith), I'd like to look up John Smith's 
email address from the password file and send him an email. I can't seem to find it something like that in the docs, I can write 
a script to do that, but was looking for a less cumbersom way of doing it. Thanks in advance.
