Could the "Copyright:" line in the elog.spec file be changed to "License:" for the next release? Without this change an RPM can't be built on FC4 (RPM 4.4.1). With the change, rpms can still be built in Enterprise linux 3 (RPM 4.2.3).


Wow, the RPM build depends on that name? Interesting. I changed it in the SVN version, so it will be contained in the next release.
  1825   Wed May 10 16:14:00 2006 Question Kevin McCartykmccarty@princeton.eduQuestionLinux2.6.1Email notification question
Hello,

I've just set up an ELog server for my research group. (Running on Debian, package version 2.6.1+r1642-1)

I have a question about the email notifications. I read through the config file documentation, but couldn't find the answer (maybe I am just unobservant\?) Is it possible to have the email notifications contain only the title of the log entry (as well as the usual attributes), but not the full text or any attachments? I have users who are worried about their email going over quota from ELog's emails, but who nevertheless would like some kind of notification when new log entries are posted.

Thanks in advance!

Have a look at the option Email format = <n>
  1827   Wed May 10 16:30:45 2006 Idea Kevin McCartykmccarty@princeton.eduRequestAll2.6.1Feature request - site-specific ELCode markup definitions
Hi,

Here's a suggestion that you may or may not want to apply. It would be nice if there existed a config file (or a syntax in the existing elog.cfg file) that permitted sites to define their own ELCode patterns.

Let me give you a usage case. I thought it would be nice to have LaTeX expressions show up automatically on my group's ELog installation if they entered them like this: [math]x^2 + y^2 = r_0^2[/math] So in the source code file elogd.c, I hacked in the following additions to the definition of pattern_list[]:
   {"[math]", "<img src = \"http://borex.princeton.edu/mimetex?"},
   {"[/math]", "\" border = \"0\" align = \"absmiddle\" />"},
and recompiled ELog.

What this does is convert the LaTeX expression into a URL that uses the "mimetex" CGI program installed on my server to output a GIF file of the equation. So my users can have inline math expressions in their log entries, like this: . Obviously this is far too site-specific to be added to the official ELog code (unless you want to embed mimetex code into the server, which I kind of doubt Smile ). But it would be nice if I could specify these patterns in a config file without having to edit the source code and recompile each time I want to install a new ELog version!

Presumably others could find a use for site-specific ELCode markup too (logos, custom smilies, etc.)

Thanks for your time.

Ah, thank you! Somehow I overlooked that. My apologies, and thanks for your very fast response.
  1829   Wed May 17 23:39:23 2006 Entry Alan Stonealstone@fnal.govQuestionLinuxELOG V2.6.Linking two sets of logbooks
I would like to link the CMSROC ELOG at Fermilab:
http://nippon.fnal.gov:8081/
with the CMS ELOG at CERN:
https://cmsdaq.cern.ch/elog/

I am the administrator of the former. I want to keep the CMSROC logbook content
local, but I would like to make a link to the CMS CERN logbook visible from
http://nippon.fnal.gov:8081/
and ideally to have it show up as a tab from any sub-page.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Alan

You can achieve that with the top text option, which lets you define some HTML code visible at every ELOG page. Just create a file, let's call it top.html, and put in following contents:
<table class="frame" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td class="tabs">
<span class="sltab"><a href="https://cmsdaq.cern.ch/elog/" title="CMS ELOG at CERN">CMSDAQ</a></span>
</td></tr>
</table>

Then put following statement into your elogd.cfg:
Top text = top.html

That should do the job.
