icon5.gif   Filtered browsing, posted by Michael on Fri Oct 6 11:19:34 2023 

Hi,

is there a trick to get "Filtered browsing" working?

If i am on the first entry and i checked the checkbox of one Attribute, the next entry is still the second one and not the next with the same Attribute.

icon5.gif   Elog in HTML Title, posted by Michael on Mon Jul 15 14:24:43 2024 

Hi,

is it possible to change the name ELOG from all HTML titles.

E.g. find/search. If you click on find/search the browser/html tag/title is 'ELOG search'. Is it possible to change this to 'xxx search' and how.

icon5.gif   Problem with a self-compiled code., posted by Maxim on Mon May 31 14:51:39 2021 

Dear, sir! There is a problem with a configuration file.

The code was compiled by Cygwin (gcc-core, gcc-g++, make, gdb, libssl-dev).  After a compilation a reference to our own css-file was written in configuration file and css-file was included in a folder “themes/default” of the project.

The problem is that in running elog-3.1.4-1 (and upper versions) css-file name in a code of a page has some random symbols before file-name, for example: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ø9öÿeLogOUK.css">. It was found that the problem is resolved if a string “Password file=passwd” is deleted, but in this case it is impossible to set passwords to the users.

Here is an example of configuration file which is taken from the forum and just one string (CSS=elogOUK.css) has added to the code

 

[global]

 

; port under which server is listening

Port = 8080

 

CSS = eLogOUK.css

 

[Accelerator]

Comment = Accelerator Logbook

 

; use user level password access

Password file = passwd

Login expiration = 1000

Admin user = ritt

Self register = 1

 

; look and feel

Guest menu commands = Back, Find, Login, Help

Guest find menu commands = Find, Login, Help

Date format = %B %d, %Y

 

; attributes

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Subject

Options Category = Routine entry, Shift summary, Problem, Fix, Question, Info, Other

Extendable attributes = Category

Required Attributes = Category, Subject

Thread display = $Subject, entered by $author on $Entry date

Quick filter = Date, Category

 

; title as shown in the browser

Page Title = Accelerator Logbook - $subject

 

; preset author and email

Preset Author = $long_name

Preset Author Email = $user_email

 

; these attributes cannot be changed

Locked Attributes = Author, Author Email

 

; only author can change its own entry

Restrict edit = 1

 

; options for reply

Subst on reply subject = Re: $Configuration Name

Remove on reply = Author, Author Email

 

; No Email notification

Suppress Email to users = 1

Good afternoon Sebastian!
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello Maxim,

I just stumbled on a similar issue. Also with a self-compiled elogd on Ubuntu.

We also use a custom css and by clicking on the "New" or "Reply" or "Duplicate" the elog generates the entry editor.
On the first load of this page the link to the css file is sometimes corrupted by having some garbage characters in it.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ƒŒüthemes/name.css">

I found the bug in the code and made a PR on the bitbucket. Here is the commit to fix it yourself.

Best wishes,

icon5.gif   Timezome problem, posted by Maxim on Wed Jun 23 15:28:00 2021 

Good afternoon!

The elog does not see the time zone. It displays UTC + 0. When I transfer old entries to a new compiled log, they are displayed 3 hours earlier (my time zone is UTC + 3). When creating a new record, it creates them in the UTC + 0.

Compilation occurs in Cygwin.

Version elog – 3.1.4-3.

Please help solve this problem.

Encoding  problem:

How to make ELOG generate HTTP pages with

tag in header. With charset=XXX selectable via config.
icon1.gif   Author name in reply to entry is from original poster, posted by Max on Thu Oct 10 11:50:06 2019 

My elog has this config for the author:

Option Author = Filled In Automatically
Preset Author = $Long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

This works as intended: when you submit a new entry, the author name is filled in automatically and cannot be changed.

However, when Alice wants to post a reply to an entry the Bruce has made, the preset author name does not say Alice, it says Bruce. I haven't been able to find out how to change this (other than make the author name editable). Even when Author isn't configured as as locked attribute, it still displays the original author's name.

How can I get this to work like I want/need to?

Brilliant in all its simplicity! Many thanks!

This should do the trick

Preset on reply Author = $long_name

Best, Stefano
