  68344   Wed Jun 29 16:07:32 2016 Question JDelog@dreessen.itRequestLinux | Windows | Mac OSX | All | OtherELOG V3.1.1More than 100 attributes

I am modifying the elogd.cfg automatically with a script.  The Script fetches a list of systems from a LDAP database and writes them into an "Options" line in the elog.cfg.

Everything worked fine, until we hit the critical number of 100 attributes.  I saw this is also stated in the manual.

Is there any workaround? I downloaded the source code and hat a quit look, but couldn't find the section which is responsible for this behavior. 

Is there a reason for this limit?

 

Thanks

Jonathan

The debian version of elog is pretty old with quite a number of bugs fixed in meantime. Unfortunatlely the debig packase has not bee updated by the maintainers. So better download the current version from bitbucket and compile elogd yourself.

Dear all

I installed elog from the current stable repository on Debian 8 (jessie)

The installation went on smoothly, I modified the configuration files of the Apache server as described in the manual to use the elog in parallel with an existing webserver and then I tested. The demo logbook loads fine and I see that elog created a folder for the logbook in /var/lib/elog/logbooks, which is the directory specified by default in the /etc/init.d/elog file.

Then I modified the /etc/elog.conf file, added the following lines in the global section (custompath is a local path) 

Resource dir = /<custompath>/elog/res
Logbook dir = /<custompath>/elog/logbooks

And I created a new logbook.

After restarting the elog service the second database is correctly created but both of them are still stored in  /var/lib/elog/logbooks so it seems the global configurations in the config file are overwritten.

How can I specify the custom folder so that the new logbooks are written there?

Hi, I have a logbook with attributes Tool1, Tool2, and Tool3.  When viewing a completed entry, what I want to do is see Tool2 or Tool3 only if they are non-zero, and don't want to see them if blank.  Basically, a "Hide if blank" option.  I couldn't find it - if it doesn't exist, are there any tricks to simulate it?

Hi John,

I use ImageMagick 6.9.3-10 on my Mac OSX 10.11.5 and it works fine. So apparently the parameters of the ImageMagick program have been changed. If you set the logging level to 2 or higher, you should see the "convert" and "identify" commands in the logging file. If you try these commands manually from the command line, you will see if they succeed or give an error. Please post this error here so I can have a look.

Cheers,
Stefan

Since I posted that, there have been multiple versions of Imagemagick released through brew for the Mac in the last few weeks, and I'm now using 6.9.4-9, which seems to work fine with thumbnails again, indeed, I noticed that as soon as 6.9.4-8 was released, I was back to normal, but thanks for the debugging pointer.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your reply, i got it now.

Thank you

The setting

Use Email Heading

is only used for plain text encoding of email messages. The default is HTML encoding, which has its own heading which cannot be changed. If you want the different heading, use

Email encoding = 1

and you get it.

Hello,

I am trying to set up my elog to have read-only guest access and require registration/password for users to be able to post to the elog. I've tried following the instructions here: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/faq.html#6, i.e. putting the following lines under the [global] section of my elogd.cfg file:

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help
 

When I do this, I do get guest acccess, however the menu items are

New |  Find |  Select |  Import |  Config |  Logout |  Last day |  Help 

rather than the List, Find, Login, Help I would expect. Also, if I click on Logout, it simply does nothing, which means there's now no way to log in as a registered user.

Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

 

Thanks,

Greg
