I have asked Fred Pacquier who maintains the web pages to put something on, 
but he hasn't replied.

Basically you simply run "elconv" in the directory where all the *.log files 
live. The only option is the "-v" flag for verbose output. If you have 
several directories with log files, you run it once in each directory.

Hi ,

currently I am running Elog 2.1.1; when using a konqueror browser (ver. 
2.2.1, kde 2.2.1) the admin user cannot access in the Config menu the Login 
infos for other users except himself. The pulldown menu "Select user" is 
shown, but when the admin selects another user the info fields (Login name, 
full name, email) are not updated. They still show the attribute values for 
the admin user himself.

Is there a solution available?
Thanks (also for this very useful tool) and regards,

Stefan

This operation is done via Java Script, which has to be enabled in the 
browser. If anybody knows a better way, please let me know.

No, not yet. I put it on the wishlist. I'm looking for a C function which can 
doe lexical evaluations like

  author="stefan ritt" AND (category=Question OR category="Bug Fix")

does anybody know such a function?

I have two different groups who want elogs for all of their members. How do
I set elog up so group 1 uses port 8082 and group 2 uses 8083 (and they
don't see each other's messages in the initial "menu" screen.

You run two instances of the elogd daemon like:

elogd -p 8082 -c /usr/local/elog/elogd1.cfg
elogd -p 8083 -c /usr/local/elog/elogd2.cfg

Create a blank text file (called mine passwd.txt)
Place the text file somewhere in the elog directory structure
(I placed mine in c:\elog\passwd.txt because i wanted to use it globally 
for all logbooks.  I believe this forum places it in \elog\logbooks\forum 
directory).

For the Elogd.cfg:

[Forum]
; general options
Password file = c:\elog\passwd.txt
Admin user = user1
Self register = 1
Theme = default

or

[global]
logbook tabs = 1
tab cellpadding = 2
SMTP host = smtp.host.net
URL = http://myelog
Password file = c:\elog\passwd.txt
Admin user = user1
Self register = 1


For the first time logging in, Click Login from the Forum Pages, then at 
the login screen, click Register as New User
Fill out all the appropriate information
example:

Login name: user1 (seems to be case sensative)
Full name: First User
Email:  user1@email.net
Automatic email notification:  (box checked)
Password:  password (seems to be case sensative)
Retype password:  password (seems to be case sensative)

Then click Save

If you open up the passwd.txt file you should see something like:

user1:cGFzc3dvcmQ=:First User:user1@email.net:all

Some other examples based on what info you provided during the 
registration:

user1::First User:user1@email.net:all   (password left blank)
user1:cGFzc3dvcmQ=:First User:user1@email.net (NO Auto email Notify)
user1::First User::all (password and email address left blank)

If you leave the Full Name blank then the logged in user will not be 
reflected correctly in the logbook.

Hope this helps.

Stefan,

Just wanted to say, great job on this logbook.  I've been with you from the 
beginnning, and I must say it's evolved into an awesome tool.  Our IT dept 
lives by this logbook for change control mgmt, as well as a great way to 
keep everyone informed.   Not to mention what a great audit / reference 
tool it has become.

Couple Wish List Items for the Self Register:

-allow the user to pick which type of log entries (which categories, etc) 
they would like to subscribe to and receive notifications on.   

-Option to use an existing LDAP database to authenticate users instead of 
maintaining a password file.

Also having the ability to subscribe to notifications for one or more 
logbooks (if access is given - along with the ability to choose which 
categories, etc notifications are sent.

I too am having problems getting the self register to work.   Can you 
attach a sample password file??   When I click the New user, nothing 
happens.  I do not get the screen that shows on this demo site.

Ok I got the password file to finally work.  Once I created a blank 
passwd.txt I get the self register page to appear and create the account.  

Next problem.  Once I'm logged in, and I click logoout, I get an error 
saying 
the logout command now allowed ???  Same holds true for the config option 
while logged in.
