I fixed that in the SVN revision 1583. The fix will be contained in the upcoming version 2.6.1.

Do you have 2.6.0-bata5 for linux as setup for RPM install. I was able to locate the version for windows but not for linux.
Thanks for your help.

There is a 2.6.0 out by now.

Re: Attachments in duplicated entries

Bertram Metz wrote:

The duplicate command duplicates the entry text itself, but it does not duplicate attachments. If attachments in a duplicated entry are deleted, the original attachment files are deleted as well and cannot be accessed anymore within the original entry.

My suggestion is to copy the attached files too and to use file names of the copies in the duplicated entry.

I chaned it such that attachments are removed from the duplicated entry, which was easier to implement. I hope this is ok as well. The change is in SVN revision 1584.

To my knowledge you need a VirtualHost entry, plus a "URL = http://exo-elog.stanford.edu" entry in elogd.cfg

Re: Compile on Windows?

What version of Visual Studio do you use for compile Elog on windows.

I have downloaded the Tar from svn and am having some errors, but then I've go VS.Net 2003. I wondering if this was done with 6.0?

Right now I'm using VS.Net 2003, but you should be able to compile it with 6.0, except that you have to redo the project file, which might not be backwards compatible. An alternative is to use gcc under cygwin, which is a free alternative for windows.

Just looked at change log for 2.6
was wondering where the documentation for the new additions/changes is/are.

I usually keep http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html up-to-date, but I agree that it's a bit hard to find the additions there, that's why there is the change log Wink

The ELCode is described on a separate page, which can also be accessed by clicking on the ELCode link below the text box of the logbook entry page.

Re: Maximum number of LogBooks? Bug?

Mike wrote:

Is there a Maximum number logbooks?

I have run into a problem but I'm not sure if to call it a Bug or not. We have started using Elog to keep a work log for each of our production servers. After a short trial I put generated a config file using groups for all of our servers which is 294 logbooks. Almost every thing works except the config screen. You get a list of all the logbooks with the checkboxes for the email notifications. If you click save (Doesn't make a difference if you make changes or not) you get the following.

Error: Too many parameters (> 120). Cannot perform operation.

I was able to recompile using cygwin under windows after changing MAX_PARAM from 120 to 400. That fixes the problem, but eventually you get a stack overflow.

Any suggestions? I have considered separate instances running 100 logbooks each but I would like to have a global search.

Thanks for a Great tool. I've been using it as a personal log for sometime and was finally able to convince my team we sould use it.

You're really pushing to the limit Wink

The maximum number of logbooks is indeed 120. If you have too many logbooks, they are also hard to handle (too many check boxes in the config page etc.). What if you make not one logbook per server, but have a single logbook and use the server as an attribute, like

Attributes = ..., Server, ...
Options Server = Server1, Server2, ...

Now you can ask: How many options are possible for an attribute, and the answer is 100, which is even less than the number of logbooks. But you can make three logbooks, each covering 100 servers, and that covers your 294 servers.

Re: "Logkook dir" in top group [global] section ineffective

There are also one question/request (you see that we use the elog extensively now Wink

):
When searching for a particular event in our shift log using the "Find" function, it would often be useful not to go to the single entry, but to the page where that entry resides. This way we can see the whole context of the event. When clicking onto an entry in the "Find" result page, this takes us of course to the single entry, but could you add a function to go to the page instead. Alternatively, is it possible to include a button "Go to page" in the single entry view (it need not even be exactly +/-N entries around, the usual page partition would do)?

I implemented that request. When you click on "list", it takes you to the listing page containing the current entry, which is even highlighted. Have a look at this forum if this is what you like.
