icon1.gif   HTML page formating, posted by Tomas Rudolf on Mon May 19 23:54:09 2003 elog_improve_layout.jpg
Is there a possibility to integrate into ELOG some more features in terms 
of page formating?

Currently, the .cfg file allows you to specify only the data structure of 
the dataentry/consultation HTML page. And you only have very limited 
possibilities to change the layout of the page (basically only the order of 
attributes on the page and with the help of the .css file the font, color 
and background of the page as a whole).

What we would like to do is to :
+ apply a stylesheet class to an attribute (change the particular TD class)
+ specify the width of a textfield (sometimes it is really not necessary to 
have such a long textfield area for a 3-letter long code)
+ put an attribute on the same line as the previous one (instead of putting 
it automatically on the next line)

Therefore, in addition to the current attributes & parameters, we suggest 
the following syntax in the .cfg file:
+ parameter AttribPos which would specify the position of an attribute, 
it's lenght (for text attributes only) and the .css class to apply
+ parameters in [] are optional
AttribPos AttribName = same_line, width, [class]

Examples: 
AttribPos DateUp =  0,20, [important]   
+ Attribute "DateUp" will be put on the next line, the textfield width will 
be 20 characters and a .important class will be applied to it from the 
default (or specified) .css file.

AttribPos DateUp =  1,15,
+ this puts the DateUp attribute on the same line, width 15

We believe that these improvements would help to make the ergonomy of the 
screen better and thus facilitate the user-dataentry/consultation.

Thank you very much for your request, well motivated and described. I hope I 
will soon find time to impelment this.
    icon2.gif   Re: HTML page formating, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Jul 4 20:46:16 2003 
I implemented your request. The syntax is:

Format <attribute> = <flags>,<css_class_name>,<css_class_value>,<width>,<size>

<flags>
  Sum of following values:
    1: Display attribute in same line as previous attribute
    2: Display radio buttons or check boxes in separate lines (if applicable)

<css_class_name>,<css_class_value> 
  Cascading Style Sheet class names used for cells containing attribute name
  or value, respectively. The classes must be defined in the style sheet file 
  (usually themes/default/default.css)

<width>> 
  Width of the text entry field in characters

<size> 
  Maximum number of characters allowed. 

Default is "0, attribname, attribvalue, 80, 500". Trailing parameters can be 
ommitted, so specifying for example only the flags is possible.

In order to have several attributes in one line, each line is now a separate 
table. This requires adjustment of the CSS class "attribname". Best you use 
the current default stylesheet (http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/default.css).

You can compare the two different approaches (one attribute per line/multiple 
attributes per line) in this forum and the "archive" logbook. The "subject" 
field in this forum also uses a different style class.

Note that if you upgrade to the current CVS version 
(http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/src/elogd.c?rev=1.129), you also 
have to change following options in your elogd.cfg:

- The style sheet must contain the new class "attribhead"
- "Email message body" has been replaces by "Email format"
- "Filtered browsing" is now off by default
- Locking (during editing of messages) is disabled by default, and enabled 
by "Use lock = 1"
       icon2.gif   Re: HTML page formating, posted by Tomas Rudolf on Fri Jul 4 21:26:03 2003 
Very interesting, indeed!
Thank you very much for the implementation. I believe this is a big step ahead 
in terms of ELOG screen formating (and therefore easier/more ergonomic 
dataentry/reading).

We will test your modifications as soon as you make a new release.

Tomas

icon4.gif   runtime error under Mac OS X 10.2, posted by Joseph Giaime on Mon Jun 30 00:11:09 2003 
I have been trying to build and run elog under Mac OS  X 10.2.6, without sucess.  I 
understand that this is not one of the 'supported' platforms, but I hope that there is someone   
here who might know the work-around to my problem.

I've tried building elog 2.2.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7, and 2.3.8.  I've tried using the compiler that comes 
in the Mac OS X 10.2 box, as well as the gcc-based compiler supplied in Apple's Dec 2002 
developer update (gcc 3.1), and the June '03 update as well (gcc 3.3).

elog builds without error in all cases I tried.

When I run it, it will correctly serve the demo notebook.  However, when the user clicks on the 
test message to display it in full, there is a seg fault.

I suspect that the trouble might be with something defined in time.h.

I've run it in gdb, and the result is appended to this message.  This is for gcc 3.3 and elog 
2.3.8.


I would greatly appreciate any hints or suggestions.

Cheers, Joe

Joe,

Run the command 
`limit' (if you are running tcsh) and `ulimit -a' if you are running bash
(these are command line programs that will tell you the resources you are
allowed to use.  Look at filesize, datasize, and stacksize - these need to be
8M or so)

You can increase these by typing, e.g.,

limit filesize unlimited
limit datasize unlimited
limit stacksize unlimited

(the equivalent command for bash are `ulimit -f unlimited', `ulimit -d
unlimited' and `ulimit -s unlimited', without the quotes)

which will increase the limits to the max imposed by the administrator.  
If that doesn't increase your limits, you will have to contact the admin to
have them raised system wide.

If you are the administrator/sole user, you can set them to the max in the file:

/etc/rc.common.

I have included the following at the end of the file:

##
# Enable coredumps if requested.
##
if [ "${COREDUMPS:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then
    ulimit -c unlimited
    ulimit -d unlimited
    ulimit -s unlimited
fi


and I have put this in /etc/hostconfig

COREDUMPS=-YES-

Hope this helps - if that doesn't fix it, sorry!

Sridhar

Sridhar & Recai,

Thanks to both of you for the rapid and effective advice.  Fixing the limit corrected my problem.  
I think I last got tripped up this way 10 years ago...

I suppose that the advice to increase Mac OS X's default stacksize limit might make a fine entry 
in the FAQ or README file.

Thanks again,
Joe

Seems a stack problem.  I don't have an OS X box to validate my guess.  I've
made a Google search with the keywords: EXC_BAD_ACCESS stack "os x"

Perhaps the following reply [1] might help...

  How big are they? You're probably running into the default stack size 
  limit, which is 512 KB. Try `unlimit stacksize` in your shell before 
  running, which will give you 65536 KB per stack.

icon1.gif   Bug Found, posted by nickc1 on Mon Jun 16 17:44:49 2003 
Ive just been alerted to a bug with email notifications in Elog.

Basically if your log book contains a space then the URL that is sent in 
emails when creating tickets or updating old entries doesnt put %20 (IEs 
space) inthe URL it leaves a space hense breaking the link.

for example

Correct Way prior to 2.3.8

http://192.168.0.1:99/Provisioning%20Request/35

Broken way with new version

http://192.168.0.1:99/Provisioning Request/35
                                 ^
Link is broken at this point

My config looks like this

Email Status Assigned = $Owner@abc.co.uk
Email Status Re-Assigned = $Owner@abc.co.uk
Email Status Completed = $Requester@abc.co.uk
Email "Send Update Email" Yes = $Requester@abc.co.uk
Use Email Subject = A Provisioning Ticket has been assigned to you or 
completed
Use Email From = NetworkTeam@abc.co.uk

Exactly this problem has been fixed between 2.3.7 and 2.3.8, so can it be 
that you mixed up these two versions? To be precise, the fix happend in 
Revision 1.113 from 2003/06/04 08:17:35. So are you sure that you use a 
version of elogd after that modification? I tried to reproduce your problem 
with the official 2.3.8 version, but I got the correct result.

Im using the plain RPM from 2.3.8, i uninstalled the 2.3.7 RPM before this 
upgrade, the only thing I kept was my own stylesheets and the config file.

One thing I just noticed is that if you dont have the URL statement set 
under global properties, some machines quote the hostname of the machine at 
which point this breaks the link. if you define the URL to the IP address 
the problem goes away.

However even without the URL setting undefined, it works for some people 
but not for others, I tried from 2 seperate machines and got 2 lots of 
results, so I suspect it might be DNS related somewhere along the lines.

The only place I can see this problem could arise from is the "Referer:" 
statement in the HTTP header. This is sent by the browser to elogd, so if the 
included URL contains a blank, this could cause the problem in case no "URL" 
statement is present in elogd.cfg. Can you please run "elogd -v" to see the 
communication betwen elogd and your browser and check this? Maybe it depends 
from the browser, or even from the history of previous accesses. If you 
confirm that the "Referer:" statement contains blanks, I can put in a fix.
icon1.gif   logboog for new project, posted by Etienne Van Caillie on Wed Jun 18 14:50:23 2003 
we develop some improvement to elog and modify the C source
to adapt some internal improvement.

1. shellonsubmit command : give the possibility to execute external program
from elog by sending specific parameter (user/logbook/message ID)

2. elog log file in xml format : give a better view on what happens with 
users see attachments easy to push the files to excel or sql database.

3. synchronisation to mySql or SQL server through perl routine and the 
shellonsubmit command
this will push any new/edit/delete command in sql server so we keep a full 
historic off all transaction in ELOG

4. sms gateway : from elog entry we send sms message throught internet 
gateway (perl routine)

If somebody has good experience in C and Perl I suggest to contact me to 
improve this wonderfull product
Thank Stephan

other projet : 
we use a logbook from our external phone call

from our telephone connected to RS232 and/or TAPI interface we keep the 
phone number and try to find the name from sql server : if found 
we want to push an automatic entry in elog and fill specific field like 
name/contact/last phone call....


I will ask to Stephan Ritt what's the best way to include our routine in 
his standard source ?

could we create a specific logbook for the wishlist
in elog/contribution may be some parameters for the actual status of the 
project ? 

SQL : 
for our sql link we have a probleme as elog re use id when deleted
we must generate an unique ID for each elog CREATE 
and a version# field automaticly incremented after each update.
This must be implemented in ELOG source.

I'm happy to include these functions in the source code, please send them 
to me.

Can you please put this perl routine into the "Contributions" section

Same as above.

As I said, put the perl programs into the "Contributions" logbook, send the 
C source code modifications to me.

Good idea, will do so.

icon5.gif   Loging user's activity, posted by Tomas Rudolf on Tue Jun 3 17:51:39 2003 
I was wondering if there is a way to have a more detailed log of users' 
activities?
Current Logfile = <file> gives a good base for information about 
logins/access to 'protected' logbooks. 

What we would like to have is information about when a user reads an ELOG 
entry (to be able to determine the reaction/response time). 

For instance the LOG could look sg like this: 
%%user %%datetime %%logbook %%record read/edit/new/delete

Very nice idea, I put it on the wishlist.

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

For the moment, I could satisfy the users by setting the start page to the "All" view


Thanks for the work!
icon4.gif   bug in cfg file, posted by Roberto Morelli on Thu May 22 21:36:54 2003 
Hello Folks,

Found an interesting problem with 2.3.7 under redhat 9.0 linux.

When you take the elogd.cfg file and the menu commands = <list> and guest 
menu commands = <list>, the config menu for edit the elogd.cfg stops 
working, yet if I change the URL manually, I can still get to the file and 
the menus do not change.  If I delete all menu commands, then all works 
without errors, yet the menus do not match default.

Also, the self registration function equal to 3 does not always send email.

Cheers,
Roberto

are you logged
if you have a guest menu there is no access in the admin
access is restricted with 
Admin user = 'your login name' 
in Global section

There was a recent bug which made "Edit elog.cfg" stop working if the 
language is not English. This has been fixed and the update is in CVS. If 
you use English, this might be another problem. Can you send me your 
complete elogd.cfg so I can try to reproduce your problem?

> Also, the self registration function equal to 3 does not always send email.

"Not always" is hard to understand. Either it works or it does not for a 
certain configuration. What you can do is start elogd with the "-v" flag, 
which outputs all communication to the console window. Among this 
information, you have the communication with the SMTP server when sending an 
email. Maybe you see some problem there which only sometimes occurs (like 
wrong email addresses or so...)

Has just been fixed. Available under CVS and soon in 2.3.8.

Does this relate to the request in article 309

and if so is there any flags set to enable it.

Cheers

No, unfortunately not (yet). I'm still working on the problem described in 
elog:309. This "lock" icon only shows you in the logbook selection page which 
logbooks are public and which are protected by passwords (was another 
request).
