Question

Re: ELOG repository moved from CVS to Subversion

Exaos Lee wrote:

Hi, Stefan,
I cannot checkout due to the following error:
------------
$ svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch:/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/elog/trunk elog
ssh: savannah.psi.ch:: Name or service not known
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly
------------

It seems that my PC cannot find the host savannah.psi.ch within CIAE. Maybe it's the problem of our DNS server. Anyway, what is the IP of savannah?

Sorry, was my mistake. In the command you have to use savannah.psi.ch, not savannah.psi.ch: (with the colon). So the full command is

$ svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/elog/trunk elog

Re: "Error: Cannot find hostname"

Exaos Lee wrote:

I usually access hosts in LAN with their IPs. But elogd seems to prefer hostnames to IPs. I cannot ask each one to add the hostname to their system config file while they visit my host. I encounter several problems which seems to be related to the hostname resolution:

I can visit remote elog service through IP and port, but cannot submit entry and cannot open the config page remotely. For example, my powerbook's name is "exaos-pb-12" and its IP is 10.10.2.96. I run elogd on my PB and try to access it through URL http://10.10.2.96:8080/ on host 10.10.2.99. While I submit a new entry or open the config page, my firefox alway blames: "exaos-pb-12.local could not be found. Please check the name and try again."
Sometimes, all the images, colors are missing. It looks like that my firefox cannot find the correct URL of these images or CSS files. It might be the same problem of "cannot find hostname".

In such a situation you describe it might help to use

URL = http://10.10.2.96:8080/

in the configuration file. This way elogd uses also IP numbers for redirection. Please let me know if that works.

Re: The Chinese Language,Demo Configuration and Help Files

Exaos Lee wrote:

I want to make elogd display the date in Chinese format. Please tell me howto.

Thank you for the files.

If you specify

Language = zh_CN

Then elogd looks for a file "eloglang.zh_CN" for the translation, for a file "eloghelp_zh.html"
for the help, and does a

setlocale("zh_CN");

to switch to Chinese date format. To retrieve the date, elogd calls strftime("%x");

Re: Display Attribute no longer works in Beta 5?

Ulrich Trüssel wrote:

I'm using Display Attribut = [elog:$logbook/$message id] as a reference link for other entries (ex.: Display Referenz = [elog:$logbook/$message id]). also see the attached elogd.cfg file.

This option has been changed on July 25th from "Display <attribute>" to "Change <attribute>" which is a more appropriate expression. The documentation has also been updated.

Re: Cannot submit admin password while logbook is named in Chinese

Exaos Lee wrote:

As the title.

There is no possibility to change an admin password. You probably mean that you logged in as admin and cannot change your own password, is that right? Do you use user level access via "password file = ..."? What is your elogd.cfg? I tried to switch language to German and I can change my own password via the config page.

Re: Some spell mistakes

Exaos Lee wrote:

I find some new strings from the warnings like this:

Quote:

Language error: string "HelpELCode" not found for language "chinese"

I have added these new string to the languages files in Chinese. I think:
"Enter name of hypelink" should be "Enter name of hyperlink".

Ok, fixed in the current subversion repository. Better write such things by personal mail to me, since it might not interest the elog community very much.

Re: Cannot submit admin password while logbook is named in Chinese

Exaos Lee wrote:

Sorry for my poor English. The case is like this: When I set an admin password for my logbook which is named in Chinese, I cannot open the config page while the password is correct. It seems that the logbook named in Chinese cannot recieve the password submitted. If the logbook is named other than Chinese, everything is OK. I will repeat the problem and describe it more exactly.

A way around that problem would be to use user level access (via the Password file = ... and Admin user = ... settings). Can you try if that works under a Chinese logbook?

Re: Trying to remove "mailto:" from the email address

Matt Kimball wrote:

We are using ver 2.5.4. As users enter new requests into the system, they would like email notifications. I have added the $user_email into a "notifications" section that we created. The email address that gets entered is "mailto:user@domain.com". Is there a way to remove the "mailto:"? Attached is my config file.

The "mailto:" is there for good reason. After you submit the entry, elogd converts the "mailto:" into

<a href="mailto:user@domain.com">user@domain.com</a>

so the browser shows the email address as a link. If you click it, the browser automatically opens your email client with the email address already in the "To:" field. The same works in the main text body. So if I put "mailto:stefan.ritt@psi.ch", it gets converted automatially to "stefan.ritt@psi.ch", a feature many people rely on.

Now from your request it looks to me like you want email notifications, so you put

Email System CareWare = ..., $user_email

In that case the "mailto:" gets automatically stripped during the email notification, so the user_email gets entered and will be used correctly for the notification.
