I see only Save Back Change Password Remove User in Config Menu.

How can I create a New User?

[global]
Port=8880
SSL=1
;Self register = 1
Password file = passwd
admin user = kuku
SMTP host = smtp.mydomain

[Demo]

Attributes = Author, Status

 

The documentation is mentioning a Config Menu and a New User item there. 

You have to be admin user to see that Config Menu.

Admin user = kukulies             (or whatever your login name is)

Hello,

I have a problem when I try to edit an existing entry. I want to add an attachment. I can upload an attachment to the existing entry, but submitting it does not seem to work. The  added attachment is not visible. But it exists in logbook directory. The only way I found to add it, is to use "Resubmit as new entry" which is not quite what I want. Is it a design feature or perhaps I'm doing something wrong ?

I need to reproduce this problem in order to fix it. Do you see the same problem on the "Demo" forum?

I'm sorry for the false alert :(. I was trying to submit edited entry using "upper submit" (just under the logbook name strip). I have tried "lower submit" (under Attachment 2) and it works with no problem. 

Well, also the "upper submit" button should work. I just tried at the demo logbook, and it worked fine (there is however now the problem that one has to click Submit twice to make it work). Can you check yourself?

 Hi all,

i have a question... How can i manage it that elog starts automatically on windows startup ? I  always need to type "elogd -p 85" in the console that it starts ...

Can anyone help me ? =)

 

Thanks

If you install elog with the installer from the distribution, it installs elog as a windows service, which is started automatically when windows starts.

I fixed this problem in the current SVN revision, so now a single click to the Submit button is enough again.

Hello all,

I have a problem with retrieving attachments of an entry on "Execute new" command. In the syntax of elodg.cfg it is: In addition the list of all attachments can be referred to via $<attachment>. Could anyone explain it a little bit more explicit, or attach an example?

Thank you in advance.

 

Hello again,

I have managed with problem by using $attachments. This provides me a list o paths to attachments. If it's the correct way to use it please change elogd.cfg syntax page.

Thanks a lot.

Yes, indeed there was a typo in the documentation, $attachments is the correct one. I changed that in the syntax page.

I have installed elog 2.8 in a windows pc with the installer from the distribution, it installs elog as a windows service, which is started automatically when windows starts.

It is done as:

"C:\Archivos de programa\ELOG\elogd.exe" -D -c "C:\Archivos de programa\ELOG\elogd.cfg"

Moreover Imagemagick and GhostScript are in the path:

Version: ImageMagick 6.6.4-6 2010-09-21 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2010 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: OpenMP 

However the indexing loogbooks are only working  fine when elog is started interactively.  Is there any posiblity to start elog as a service and use thumbnails for quick preview?

Thank you in advance!

 

This is a know problem. I did not achieve to create the imagemagic subprocess and read its output when elogd is started as a service. Attached is the code doing that, I found it as an example from Microsoft. But even after hours of work, I could not get it running inside the service. If anybody has any idea, please let me know.

Hello Stefan,

first of all thanks for quick response.

However I encountered another problem, but to explain it well I need to tell you more what actually I want to do with these substitutions. 

So I would like to have a python script which on add new entry will create a new entry in another logbook with the same data (Only for certain attributes' values). That's why I need attachments.

These substitutions will be used as command line arguments of the script.

Since I started using $attachments, all the substitutions used before it, are passed twice? Without using $attachments substitution, it works fine - they are passed only once.

Furthermore I tested it without script, just passing them to a text file, and it seems that it really doesn't work well. Could you check that?

-------------------

Execute new = echo $message id '$long_name' '$System' '$Equipment' '$Subject' '$text' > /tmp/zzz_elog.log             WORKS GOOD

Execute new = echo $message id '$long_name' '$System' '$Equipment' '$Subject' '$text'  $attachments> /tmp/zzz_elog.log            DOESN'T WORK GOOD

------------------

Thank you a lot in advance.

 

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed this in SVN revision  2348.
