icon5.gif   Removal of ID and Date attributes, posted by James Darrow on Sun Mar 13 21:20:56 2022 Screenshot_from_2022-03-13_15-31-40.png
Hello all,

I just found elog which is a great piece  of software! I'm implementing it for use to log my shortwave listening contacts. The problem
that I have is I'm moving over a current log to elog which already has a date of when the record was created, which is important.I renamed the old

Use the configuration option

List display = Day, Station Type, Start time UTC, ...

as written in the documentation.

icon5.gif   Use different HTML class for drafts compared to not existing entries, posted by Edmund Hertle on Wed Mar 9 16:25:31 2022 
Right now a Draft shows a red error indication, that the entry is currently a draft. For the CSS styling it uses the HTML class="errormsg".
The same class is also used if an entry does not exist.

Would it be possible for the draft version to use a different HTML class (for example class="draftmsg")? It can also use the same visual

we had an elog with only one logbook and one password file,
we added a second logbook with a second password file and everything broke.

Hi Stefan,

I've seen that ELOG is build now with gcc-c++ now, so i tried to check rpmbuild script with all options. It seems that ldap api is different
with c++ (quick search : https://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200706/msg00177.html) and elogd can not been build anymore with ldap support.

Most of the stuff is the usual same-old that we mostly fixed in midas:

Well, I bit the bullet and fixed all of these warnings. Took me like two days of work, but now should be fine. You might want to test it again. I only have
gcc 9.2.0, there it compiles now without warning.

I fixed these as well, please have a look again. BTW, midas had a few of these as well.

icon1.gif   ELOG problems with certificates, posted by Ezio Zanghellini on Thu Feb 10 19:03:56 2022 
Recently I have had problems with ELOG not accepting the certificates (in this case from https://letsencrypt.org/)
probably due to the old version of the SSL library of the binary distribution for Windows.
I have tried to follow the instructions to set up ELOG to work with Apache but they are probably old.
icon1.gif   "New User" option does not work when Authentication=Webserver, posted by Jan Just Keijser on Fri May 29 09:27:32 2020 
Our setup uses "Authentication=Webserver" + no automatic user registration. Thus, logbook admins should add a user by clicking "Config" 
and then "New user". However, no matter what they fill in in the "new user " dialog, as soon as they hit "Save" an error
pops up saying that their username (the admin one, not the new one) already exists. I found the following code:

Unfortunately I locallly don't have Webserver authentication, so I cannot check or debug. If you send me a diff that works for you, I'm happy
to incorporate it.

here's the patch that I use to enable  use creation and deletion in combination with Webserver authentication.

The idea behind the patch is that if the user logged in via  "http_user" is an elog admin, then {s}he is allowed to save a random
user configuration, including creating or deleting a user.

Thanks for your patch, I committed it.
