Hi,

I have several top groups and each has several logbooks.

If I use the global option Protect Selection page=1 and Show top groups = 1, after an user logs in to the top group selection URL, the elog steers away from the top group selection page, and automatically brings him to the logbook selection page of the first top group. Is the elog programmed to exhibit this behavior?

What I would prefer is that, after an user logs in, the elog stays on the top group selection page, sine each user has his preferred destination, not always the logbooks in the first top group. Is there any setting I can use in the config file to do this? 

(My users need to access different top groups and logbooks on regular basis).

Thank you and regards.

Dear all,

Is it possible to have a dynamic "preset text" option?

I would like to switch the template file depending on the attribute value. (Of course this attribute values will be a fixed list of options, not extandable). 

I see there one difficulty, that: if user already started editing the text body, he could lose this data. But I think that this could be left on user responsibility to take care about it.

Another option could be to always insert the template text on the very beginning of the text body.

Is this feature implemented, or maybe someone have done it by changing the server code?

Cheers

 Thanks, it works perfectly!

 I have been using the mirror mechanism for one year for the online T2K /ND280 (neutrino oscillation experiment at J-PARC, Japan).  It has been a savior to allow access to all collaborators to the Elog.  The experiment online computers are all behind a double firewall that allow only communication through ssh and http in one direction: from the inside to the outside. The master Elog is located in Canada and accessible remotely to all collaborators.  The mirror Elog is located inside the firewall on one of the online machines in Japan and synchronization is setup to run automatically every 5 minutes. There are 10 logbooks defined for each of the sub-detector groups.

At first I encountered a big problem when messages were added on both sides.  It turned out that Elog mirroring does not work when the two instances are running on different time zones. After I set the machine in Canada to run on Japan time (JST), no further problems have happened. Postings are routinely entered on either of the Elogs and synchronization works well.  This feature is essential to having a workable Elog for the T2K experiment. 

I had reported the problem of timezones to Stefan last year. He was going to put it on his wish list.

best all,

I'm having trouble with redirecting after creating an account or login.
For example when i create an account with an Admin user when i click on 
Save i recieve the following error:
Error finding page!
And this is what de browser address tels me.

http://192.168.71.26/ZC004/?
cmd=Save&new_user_name=zcpvenema&new_full_name=Peter+Venema&new_user_email=p
venema@zernike.nl&email_notify=all&newpwd=123456&newpwd2=123456

But when i remove the line frome the ? and than press enter then i'll while 
be able to just elog again.

here is my Global cfg file setting.

What did i do wrong??

Sorry people,

I did not use de - n host/ip syntax at the startup of elogd.
Now it's working properly.
