Dear colleagues,

I have edited my own style sheets for elog, but if I use the reply function while having fckedit as editor, the quotations have the standard elog colors, not mine. With elog's own editor, I get my colors. I figured out that fckedit inserts the quote as HTML-block with "hard coded" colors, but I am not able to find the template fckedit uses for it! Does anyone know the path to this template?

Thank you in advance

That's actually a limitation of fckedit. It simply does not interprete any style sheets, that's why actually the elogd program hard-wires the colors etc. Sorry for that.  

Nasty nasty. I prepared a longish post and only because I forgot to click an Icon of choice, all my message is lost.

Thus in short:

openssl/ssl.h isn't there.

I assume I got to get it from openssl.org.

But where do I put it in the compilation tree?

 Replying to my own post: libdev-ssl wasn't installed.

For our application we have a lot of very common events we would like to log.  It would be preferable that for certain events/entries we could setup a single button / quick entry method.  Is there away to accomplish this?

You could write a script/program that calls the ELOG client with the necessary attributes to submit the entry (see the user's guide).

 This would be of value for me as well. I'm trying to develop a event log for a research ship. Thanks. -ben

There are several ways:

1) Use conditional attributes (see https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#conditional). If you have several standard entries, put the into the option list of a "type" attribute. Then depending on that value, you can pre-populate other attributes/options. This is then not a single-button solution, but a single-click plus one selection from a drop-down list solution which should be pretty close.

2) You can make a bookmark in your browser. Take the URL of the logbook, add "?cmd=New" and then for each attribute you can select a preset value using "&p<attribute>=<value>". So for example on the demo logbook you can use

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/?cmd=New&ptype=Routine&pcategory=General&pauthor=Ellis 

which opens the new entry dialog, and pre-set values for Type, Category and Author. Then you can make several bookmarks for different standard entries.
