Hi Stefan,

you were right - running the service by an authorized user solved the problem.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers, Christian

These problems are usaully related to user rights. Try starting the service under a different (maybe admin) user.

Hello,

I've been successfully using elog as a daemon since several years on a Linux machine. For some reasons recently I had to switch to a Windows 7 machine. Here, setting up the elog daemon doesn't work for me:

(a) running the command:

"...\ELOG\elog.exe" -c "...\ELOG\elogd.cfg"

in a windows shell works perfectly fine - logbook is up and running as set up in the cfg-file.

(b) However, starting the windows service manually (start->control panel->system and security->administrative tools->services) that was set up automatically during installation of elog leads to an error message:

"Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

From the service settings I can verify that the service is running exactly the same command that works in (a).

Could someone please share the windows service settings? Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Christian

How do I make this section Wider or Shorter in the 2.7.8 version?
Maybe I did something to make it shorter? ELCode shows as a full box but plain txt is very short box.

icon5.gif   How do I use Preset Text only when a given topic is selected?, posted by Christina winson on Wed Sep 21 18:58:18 2016 

Hi,

I'm looking to use a template for only a subset of logbook entries. Is there some way to apply a template when a specific topic or category is selected?

Help for the newbie much appreciated.

Hi Christina,
You want to use "conditional attributes". See elog:68350 for an example.
Cheers, Andreas

I know I'm a little late but is there a way to do this from elog? I've tried using the following line in the config but it doesn't seem to work in IE10. I figure if there is a way to modify the <head> before the page loads there could be hope.

Top text = <script>var meta = document.createElement('meta');meta.httpEquiv = "X-UA-Compatible";meta.content = "IE=edge";var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];head.insertBefore(meta, head.firstChild);</script>

If you are using IE as your browser, the problem may be with that rather than the server. By default IE 11 display intranet sites in a "Compatibility mode" which breaks the FCKEditor in Elog version 3.  Fortunately this mode can be disabled, which is what I have had to advise users here to do.

  • Click on the "cogwheel" and select "Compatibility settings" 
  • Deselect "Display intranet sites in Compatibility view"

Pictures attached

Sorry for the late reply. I have installed a slightly newer version of Elog, but the results are the same. I do get de the 3 editor bars, but the top 2 are greyed out and the bottom one doesn't do anything if clicked. I have commented out the lines that refer to the online equation editor, but that doesn't help much either. I think I let it rest. The old 2.9.xx version still works great, so we leave it at that.

Thanks anyway for the suggestions

Hi,

After working many years with previous versions of ELOG, I decided to update to the latest version.
I have installed ELOG version 3.1.0 on a WIndows 2012R2 server with IE 1. The editor is showing up, but everything is greyed out, execpt for some items on the bottom row. (Style, Lettertype...) and after I do load a preset text form with different colors, the page remains white. The tables and text in the form is showing up.

The previous version with the older editor was working great on the same server.

Any suggestions? 

 

 

 

Entry   Using an RSS reader on a pasword protected elog, posted by Jackie Schwehr on Wed Sep 28 10:27:24 2016 

I'm trying to set up a python rss parser to read the output from my collaboration's elog, however the elog is password protected and I cannot figure out how to have a python scrip get past the login screen.  Is there something obvious I'm missing that will allow a parser to submit a username and password? If that's too python-specific of a question for this audience, then what is the exact security method elog uses, so I can get information on that?  I've read through the documentation and either I don't know what I'm reading (likely) or I'm not looking in the right spot.
