How to selectively use Top/Bottom Text JavaScript., posted by John on Wed Dec 4 03:06:50 2019
|
I think I know what the answer(s) will be already.. that I will need to address this in JS. I don't want each screen to run/show the same code, other
than the ones I want to. AND I do not want to have to create a custom form for each 'menu option' to achieve this (if possible).
Thanx, |

In JS, you have access to the browser URL via window.location. So you can write conditional code depending on the actual elog command.

Executing a shell command using elogd Windows service, posted by Frank Baptista on Sun Nov 24 20:29:24 2019

We've been successfully running nearly a dozen separate logbooks on independent
laptops -- all of them are running elogd as a Windows service. This works well, since I've also set up auto recovery options in the event that the |

Wow, having these color signal lamps really looke like a cute solution, made me laugh.
No, there is no other way than the Execute new thing. I have
given up long time ago to use Windows services, because they are very hard to debug and very limited. So at our site everything runs under Linux. |

Well, there I was, eating Thanksgiving dinner, when suddenly, it hit me (no, not indigestion). I can write a simple program that parses out
the latest "Status" from the most recent logbook file -- a relatively easy task, since it's a text file. This solution avoids
having to execute a shell command at all. GOOOOOOAAAAAAL!!! |
Trouble on Catalina, posted by John S. Haggerty on Fri Nov 22 02:55:50 2019

I decided to rebuild elog 3.1.4 in Catalina (MacOS 10.15.1), XCode 11.2.1. As in previous builds, I needed to add to the Makefile pointers to openssl:
CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
LIBS += -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib |

The Makefile is kind of obsolete, I switched to CMake. So the Makefiel is mostly there as backup. To compile elog, do
elog$ mkdir build; cd build
elog/build$ cmake .. |

Subdirectories in logbooks, posted by pavel on Sat Nov 9 22:44:23 2019
|
Hello, Is there any way to organize logbooks in some kind of tree with sublogbooks or just have a subdirectories in a logbook directory on the filesystem
(treat it as a sublogbook if its name is different from 4 digits of year and pin above all the entries in a list) to structure entires a bit?

Just use groups as written in the manual: https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#groups

Hide logbook tab when not authorized, posted by Stefano Bonaldo on Tue Aug 22 18:29:02 2017
|
Hello, I read carefully the manual, but I didn't find a way to hide the logbooks in the logbook bar and in the initial logbook selection for
which the user does not have the access. So, if a user1 does not have the access to a specific logbook, user1 is not able to see that logbook in the
bar and neither in the initial logbook selection. How can I do this without using the top groups? |

Hi Stefano,
I think your assessment is correct: it is not possible to hide a logbook based on your read/write privileges.
And I'm not
even sure that this would make much sense: at least you need to be able to get to the login page of the logbook.
But if you don't have |

Hi Andreas,
many thanks for your answer. I partially agree with you, because sometimes "for privacy" of my working group I don't want that
other users (external users) know the existance of the other logbooks. |

Well, Stefan would need to answer that. But if you are good with C-programming, you might implement it yourself?
There is a way to implement it; but it makes your installation a lot more complicated: you can have two ELOG servers. The first has all logbooks
but requires authentification to read any. The second has only the public logbooks, and they are mirrored from the first. |

Hi Stefano,
that's what top groups were made for. So make a top group for yourself, and nobody will be able to see them without having the proper URL.
Hiding logbooks from the logbook selection page is not possible since when people bring up that page, they are not yet logged in, so elog does not know |

*** edit ***
I solved my problem by removing the guest options from the logbooks ('Guest menu commands' and 'Guest List Menu commands'), this
forbids any unauthorised user to see the content of the concerned logbooks. This is what I needed. |

Hello Elog Forum
There is i ELOG the function to edit multiple posts eg. to change the staus from "ongoing" to "finished" -> in danish
translation "igangværende" and "afsluttet", see the attached pictures. |

I use editing of multiple entries frequently and it works fine for me.
To understand your problem I would suggest that you try a minimal configuration. If you have a test logbook with just one or two fields and it
still does not work, then post the config here that people can reproduce your problem - and hopefully find a fix. |

Hello Andreas
OK, I did install a version of ELOG with a minimum of settings and the edit of multiple settings works fine. I've tracked the issue to "Locked
Attributes = Bruger". |

Hi Finn,
I don't know if this was intended, but at least I know a possible solution: with the command
"Show
Attributes Edit = "
you can limit the attribute list shown in the edit form to those that are not |

Hello Andreas
Show Attributes Edit = xxx, limits the attributes shown when editing but when you submit you get the error
Error: Attribute Bruger not supplied. |

Re: Edit of multiple posts, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Oct 18 23:22:50 2019

I'm sorry, apparently my tip was not clear: you should use "Show Attributes Edit = " to NOT SHOW any of your locked attributes.
It
is just a guess: if the attribute is not shown in your edit form, it will not complain about it when you submit the form.
Did you try that?
Cheers,
Andreas

How to get Elog server to produce web server log files in Linux., posted by John on Wed Oct 16 09:45:41 2019

Hi, I have been trying for a long time to get my web server logs to record when someone accesses my Elog server. I've tried Apache2, Lighttpd, and
others, all with no luck. Either the web servers complain that the port I have Elog on is in use, or I just don't get any readings. I need to see who
is accessing my Elog from the web, and I hope there is a way. |

Hi again everyone; a Sebastian suggested I use a reverse proxy to complete my need to have logs show up when someone 'lands' on my first entry
page. I see that Elog will only start recording logs when someone has actually started to do some work.. like login, read a post, etc... but NOT when they
first enter the login page or 'listings' pages. I have tried fowarding from my router (both lighty and Apache) but so for no good. I will also |
