ELOG Forum

Sorry to bother you. I could see in past Forum entries that the question of "Simple Math" has come up before, although the answers were not all that simple.

Can you do simple math (i.e. attribute A + attribute B = attribute C) in ELOG ?

Thank you for putting up with my questions.

Mike

No, you can't. The only way is to export a logbook to CSV, then import it in a spreadsheet program, then do the math there.

You can pass numerical attributes to an external command via "Execute new =...". This external command can then do the math and pass the result _back_ to the logbook either as a new entry or as an edit with the command-line client "elog".

For example, given a new entry with (numerical) attributes A and B, if you have

Execute new = add_them.pl $A $B $message id

in your elog.cfg file, then $A and $B will be passed to the add_them.pl perl script. Now have the perl script (or bc, or whatever you want to use) do the appropriate math and submit the result. For example, your perl script might include

$C=$A+$B

$D=$A*$B

elog -a C=$C ... -e "$message id" "Sum as edit"

elog -a D=$D ... "Product as new entry"

We have two logbooks, each with a different list of users.

The logbooks are open to all network users for read only.

A user with Write permisions logs into his designated logbook.

He then decides to view the other logbook, the one he does not have write permissions to by clicking on the tab to the other logbook.

He is immediately logged out of the logbook he has write permissions to.

He did not close his browser session, only clicked on the other logbook tab.

Is there Any way to keep that person logged into the logbook he has rights to without having the "keep me logged in Checkbox"?

Just like this site has Forum, Config Examples, etc.

Once you select another tab they are logged out of their logbook they just logged in to.

How do you allow users to change password for a given logbook when the user keeps getting prompted for admin password to enter the change password feature?

I have Allow password change = 1 set global and at each logbook hoping that would work.

It allows them to change the password when and only when the user gets past the admin login when clicking CONFIG.

Thats what we get for having two people working on the install and configuration. LOL

When first creating and setting up the configs, we had Admin Password = xxxxx entered in each logbook config. Once we created a password list we no longer needed that entry.

This was why each user who had login credentials was being asked to provide the admin password when trying to change their password.

I didn't get your point completely, so is this issue now resolved?

Yes we had listed within each individual logbook config "Admin Password = xxxx". this was causing the admin login prompt when users wanted to change their own passwords. The "Admin Password =xxxxx" cannot reside on each logbook config when you use a password list and allow users to change their passwords.

Thank you

Can you give me some more information? Can you see attachments in the Demo Logbook like here ? What about other browsers? Can you try to start elogd without keep-alives (using the "-k" flag)?

Hi. I have a same problem... It works well with other browsers, like firefox and internet explorer, but not with safari (with and without keep-alives).

The demo logbook in the link works fine with safari, though.

Thanks.

Tsuguo

Thanks for reporting this bug. I finally found the reason and fixed it in revision 2191. I made a new release 2.7.6 which contains all the collected bug fixes from the last few months.

Actually your combination of "bottom text" with "protect selection page" caused the trouble. If fixed the bug in revision 2189.
