Hi,

I'm trying to implement top groups and started with the sample configuration shown in the 'Syntax of elogd.cfg' chapter of the documentation. But now I'm facing a problem with the links in the logbook selection page.

Here's my group configuration:

Group Linux PCs = Red Hat, Debian, Mandrake
Group Windows PCs = NT, XP

Top group engineering = Linux PCs, Windows PCs
Top group administration = Employees, Purchases
Show top groups = 1
 

The selection page for the top groups is displayed correctly, but the URL for the groups beneath the top group is incorrect. The URL for the Linux PCs group for instance is http://localhost:8080/engineering/engineering/ . The URLs for the logbooks within the Linux PCs groups is correct (e.g. http://localhost:8080/Debian/)

Has anybody an idea what's going wrong in y configuration?

Bertram

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it in the intermediate release 278-4 which is ready for download.

icon1.gif   Active Directory authentication, posted by Alan Grant on Mon Mar 29 06:05:08 2010 

Found a thread from 2004 ("External authentication") asking about the possibility of tying that in with ELog and answer was "Not yet". With time past, any chance this is now possible? I didn't see any more info on that since. 

I'd like to explore using AD to set up/manage groups for ELog authentication. Alternatively, is there currently another way with ELog to manage groups?

Regards.

When entering data for a new log entry some folks always type in an attribute and then the "Enter" key which automatically

submits the entry. Is there a way to prevent this so the only way a new entry is submitted is with the Submit button. Also

is there a way to setup the main text box as a required attribute?

 

Thanks

Gary

This is unfortunately a limitation of HTML forms. If anybody know a way around that, I'm happy to implement it.
icon5.gif   "No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file" error, posted by Pedro Gil de Araújo Gordo on Wed Apr 14 12:55:38 2010 

Hi

When I upload a message with a attachment (and also without an attachment) I get this message:

"No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file"

However the file and the text have been uploaded. So why does it gives me this message, and how do I work this out?

Best Regards

This error comes if you have configured email notifications, and no SMTP host defined in the configuration file. Elog has to contact your SMTP server to send any email. Read the email notification paragraph in the documentation.

External authentication is still on the list. But I'm not sure what is the best way: LDAP, PAM, Kerberos. Should work under windows and linux. Unfortunately I won't have time in the next few months to implement that, but it stays high on my todo list.
