Display edit time, posted by Devrim Esenturk on Wed Nov 24 08:12:17 2021

Hi
I have a large logbook to keep office demo equipments listed. So editing entries are very often, I would like to see last editing time on my
entry as entry time shown as each entry. Is there any way to do this? I checked all attributes and commands but couldn't find any. |

Creat an attribute "last edit" and set it to the last edit time. Something like this:
Attributes = ...., Last edit
Preset Last edit = $date |

Body of new messages not getting saved when submitted, posted by Harry Martin on Sun Nov 21 23:20:15 2021

I've been using elog for a few years now. I've had the current setup working for me up until today.
If I create a new message (entry, whatever they are called), or if I attempt to update an existing message, only the header information is saved.
The body (the part I can see in the editor) does not get saved. |

Hello Harry,
the elog server (elogd) is a standalone application written in C and contains a full webserver and logfile management system.
There are no other dependencies to apache or python. |

Thank you for your quick response, Sebastion. The new version of ckeditor is 4.5.7 -- is this version compatible with elog 3.1.2? It is possible
that I am using an outdated elog or outdated ckeditor due to the fact that this server is a bit old; I am looking to upgrade this machine soon, but I have
several other issues to resolve first. |

(disregard my recent post here about missing package -- that wasn't the elog server!)
I can see that ckeditor was upgraded 11/19, which is would be prior to my recent attempts to use elog. It was apparently a security update,
so I am not sure it is sensible to downgrade. OTOH, I am the only person here, and I have all sides carefully barracaded, so I don't think it |

After downgrading ckeditor, my elog installation is working again. Thanks for your help.

Restrict edit time = 0 behavior intended?, posted by Chris Körner on Mon Nov 15 11:35:55 2021

Hi,
I have set the options "Restrict edit time = 24" and "Admin restrict edit time = 0" in [global]. This way can only edit entries
for 24 hours while the admin can forever. I now want a single logbook where all users have unlimited time to edit entries. However, setting "Restrict |

Actually this is related to post 68993 from Sebastian Schenk in Jul 2019. Are there any new workarounds
I may have missed?

Hi Chris,
my old entry was related to the admin options of edit time.
The option "Admin restrict edit time" was implemented later, see ab8b98c |

Hi Sebastian,
thanks for the reply. It is just a bit confusing that these similar settings behave so differently. For me it is no big deal to set the
time for every logbook independently instead of [global], but it leaves more room for configuration errors. |
Shared logbook and elog.cfg file across multiple installations, posted by Anthony on Mon Nov 15 15:41:04 2021

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to have a shared logbook and elog.cfg between multiple instances of elog. Ideally, I'd like
to have my logbooks folder and elog.cfg hosted on a nextcloud instance while running the elog service locally. I've tried this using symlinks |

Hi Anthony,
the elog has a mirroring function, which synchornizes config and logs between multiple instances.
See the bottom section of https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html |

Thank you Sebastian!
I admittidely haven't looked through the page in a while, so I completely missed this feature. This should solve the problem, although
in a slightly different implementation than what I was trying for. |

The elgod.c progarm itself is rather weak in SSL, since I just don't have time to catch up with the latest SSL enhancements. The safest you can do
is to put an industry-strenth web server like Apache in front of elogd and let that server handle the SSL layer.

While mirroring, data fields not preserved, posted by Rob Calkins on Tue Oct 26 01:21:01 2021

While running two e-log books that were mirrored, I ended up with the situation of two entries with the same number/id. The mirroring did what
it said it would, increment the local logbook entry and grab the entry from the remote logbook. However, when it did, it did not preserve the fields in
the log book that are specified in the config file such as "Author", "Priority", "Subject" ect. I ended up with a very |

Too many open files - issue?, posted by Rob Calkins on Fri Oct 15 23:57:38 2021

Has anyone had issues with having too many files open? I'll setup my server and let it go but after a while, I end up with a lot of "cannot
create socket: Too many open files" errors being reported. I have a sync to another e-log going which I suspect is part of the cause since that
e-log server hasn't had this issue. I suspect that there are files being opened, going into some return loop code and then never getting closed. I'm |

Re: Too many open files - issue?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Oct 25 13:34:06 2021

The code segements you show are from the command line tool elog.c, not the server elogd.c. The tool is called to submit a new message from the command
line. Even if there would be a file not properly closed, it will be closed by the operating system once the program finishes. So no problem of too many
open files there. |

Display last page by default, posted by Yoshio Imai on Fri Oct 28 12:15:33 2005

Hi again!
I have one question concerning the logbook configuration. Normally, clicking on "List" takes me to the first page of the list view. Is it possible to configure
the logbook so that "List" takes me to the last page instead?

Thanks!
For the moment, I could satisfy the users by setting the start page to the "All" view, but if it can be implemented in a future version, this would come
very handy.

Ok, I implemented the last page display per default in revision 1538. If "reverse sort = 0" the last page is shown and if "reverse sort = 1" the first page
is shown by default. This way one always sees the page with the latest entries. I hope this accomodates everybody. If not, please complain and I could
make it a switch (yet another option ;( ). |

I have installed the new version, and it works just fine. It is also MUCH faster than my intermediate solution.
