I added the option "Summary page title = xxx" in a similar way than the "Page 
title". The new version is at

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/src/elogd.c?rev=1.64

It will be included in the release 2.3.5 of elog.

You can export to CSV (comma-separated-values) if you go to "Find" and then click on "Export: CSV". These fiels you ran read right into Excel or other spreadsheet programs for further analysis.

excuse my butting in ...  I've found the exports useful in the past - however, is is possible to run the export from a script in order to produce reports?  Utilities like wget won't work as the export process doesn't return the data as html.

regards

That's not true. wget does work. Try that one:

wget --no-check-certificate -O export.csv https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/linux+demo/?mode=CSV1

actaully wget doesn't care if the return is HTML or a GIF image or anything else, it just saves it into the output file.

 Steve, just a word of thanks for "butting in" ... my next thought was how could I schedule an export to feed the other database so it wouldn't have to be done manually each day. Your question took care of that for me!  :)

Good community. Thanks.

you're right, of course, on all counts!

when I was testing wget/elog to try to automate an extract I was getting a lot of stuff like:

/Change_Log/587">Software Only</a></td><td class="92^M^H<88>^\ÿ^Y"ÿ"><a href="../Change_Log/587">23416</a></td><td class="92^M^H<88>^\ÿ^Y"Ã<a href="../Change_Log/587">New</a></td><td class="92^M^H<88>^\ÿ^Y"ÿ"><a href="../Change_Log/587">Awaited</a></td>

but I must have been getting something wrong, using your command line as an example it works perfectly!  Thanks again for elog!!

ELog does not use the Log4j library so no issue there. If you run a web server like Apache in front of ELog, you however have to check if you use log4j there.

Is there any potential impact/concern with the Log4j exploit in Elog applications?

 If you have a logbook and you create a new entry, is it possible to put a time limit on that new entry so that edits/replies are only valid for certain amount of time.  I am looking for a way that would allow me to have a user start a new message, but after 8 hours, that message becomes locked and no one can edit or add to the message.  This is for some shift work and we do not want users to go back after their shift and edit the messages.  

 

Did you consider using the "Restrict edit time" option? It should provide the necessary functionality, as long as you don't want to lock the entry at a fixed absolute time, but really only x hours after creation (also, as you talked about closing the "thread" automatically, there is no option to prevent replies after a certain amount of time).

See the administrator's guide.
