This has to do with the "%S" vs. "%s" bug described elsewhere in this forum. 
I fixed that. The validator link above now also reports error free.

best all,

I'm having trouble with redirecting after creating an account or login.
For example when i create an account with an Admin user when i click on 
Save i recieve the following error:
Error finding page!
And this is what de browser address tels me.

http://192.168.71.26/ZC004/?
cmd=Save&new_user_name=zcpvenema&new_full_name=Peter+Venema&new_user_email=p
venema@zernike.nl&email_notify=all&newpwd=123456&newpwd2=123456

But when i remove the line frome the ? and than press enter then i'll while 
be able to just elog again.

here is my Global cfg file setting.

What did i do wrong??

Hi 

Is there a repository of elog configuration files for newbies to lookup and
learn ? I have seen the 'contributions' elog - useful as it is ... it is not
much. I would appreciate if someone can point out such a site where people
have contributed their elog configuration files.

Thanks,
AnandO.

Have a look at the elog:Config+Examples. The configuration of this Forum for
example is there, covering most of the available options.

- Stefan

I am running into problems when I try and use the

Use Email From = $user_email 

setting in my individual logbook configs. I had to set this field as I set a 

Use Email From = real_email_address 

in my global config so that the email would be sent out by the
CommunigatePro mail server.

When I made those changes though the mail was not sent and I got the
following errors in the elog log:

It looks like Communigate Pro doesn't like what is being put in the From as
it complains about the syntax. 

I tried the same elog.conf file on my laptop which uses a qmail server as
its SMTP and the mail was sent ok but I got mailto appearing in the from
header. I saw that elog:333 reported a similar problem but this was listed
as fixed. This is the headers from a message sent by the qmail server:

Yes, this was fixed in revision 1.550 of elogd.c. You apparently have revision 1.54x
which does not yet contain the patch. You need to donwload the newest version from
CVS and compile it by hand (or wait for the next major release).

Hi,

I am very much interested in using elog as a shift logbook for SOLEIL
accelerators.

I tested most of the options. Every thing works well except the conditional
attributs when French language is selected. In this case, I lost the
selected list option in the Field Equipement.

Here a simple exemple for testing.
NB: tests were done using the last and before last elog version.

I switched the language from English to French in Global options

Attributes = Accelerateur, Equipement
Options Accelerateur= Linac{1}, LT1{2}
{1}Options Equipement= cannon, section1
{2}ROptions Equipement= Alimentation, Diagnostics

I guess this is a simple bug since this problem does not exist for other
languages.

Best Regards,

Laurent Nadolski

Hey, elog made it to SOLEIL! You know, we run it here at the SLS...

There was indeed a bug which only happend when switching to French! Some
javascript code contained

confirm('Erreur: l'attribute .... ')

So the "'" in l'attribute finished the string and Javascript stopped working. I
changed the quotes to

confirm("Erreur: l'attribute .... ")

so it works now. The new version is under CVS.

Is there an inbuilt way to find the last entries changed in an elog?

I could add a "Last Mod" attribute and then config "Subst on edit Last Mod =
$date", but it occurred to me that this functionality might already be in
this wonderful tool somewhere, but I just haven't found it yet.

So, is it?

Best regards, Ralph.

No it isn't. Not everybody wants it. So you have to do it in the way you
outlined it. Also have a look at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/faq.html#11

Is there any way to automatically export the logbook(s)? 

> Is there any way to automatically export the logbook(s)? 

Kind of. You can use "wget" under Linux (use cygwin under Windows to get wget
under Windows). Then issue a

wget "http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/forum/?cmd=Search&mode=xml"

and you will get an XML export. Same works with CSV export. If you put that
command in cron, you have this on an automatic basis.

Thanks Stefan! That was exactly what I was looking for!

Hi

I was just wondering if it is possible to define what logbooks you want
mirrored in the [Global] part of the elogd.conf file. I want to mirror the
logbooks that I use for work from my laptop to the work server but I have
set up other logbooks that I will use for uni and other non work projects. 

I have set the mirroring up in [Global] using the cron based settings but I
am guessing that is going to try and mirror all the logbooks. 

;The mirror settings
Mirror server = tanami:8080
;Mirror the contents of the elogd.conf file for individual logbooks but not
global settings
Mirror config = 1
;Mirror every hour between 07:00 and 20:00 during the week day
Mirror cron = 0 7-20 * * 1-5
Mirror user = john

I gather my personal logbooks won't sync across as I get an "error accessing
remote logbook" so that is fine but was just wondering if you can set it so
that you can define in global what logbooks you want to sync.

thank you
John

I added a new option

Mirror exclude = 1

which has to be put into the individual logbook section (not the [global] one).
The modification will be contained in the next release.
