I'm using ELOG version 2.7.3-2058 and have been trying to get FCKeditor to work. This, to my understanding from the documentation, is supposed to be a part of elog by default after version 2.7.0 and from looking at the configuration syntax manual, it looks as though FCKeditor should be on with the default settings. I done nothing to turn it off and none of the obvious fixes seem to do anything. I've posted the text of my configuration file below, what did I do wrong?

Your assumption that FCKedit should work by default is correct. Try to start elogd manually and watch its output. It should show:

elogd 2.7.3 built Mar 12 2008, 22:23:55 revision 2080
FCKedit detected
ImageMagick detected
Indexing logbooks ... done
Server listening on port 1234 ...

where it indicates the FCKedit is detected. This check is done by looking at a file scripts/fckeditor/fckeditor.js. If this file is missing on not readable, FCKedit will disabled by default. If the file is missing, please let me know how you installed elog (RPM, from source) so that I can double check it.

Got the same problem, solved by manually unzipping "scripts/fckeditor.zip" from the sources to the installation directory (/usr/local/elog/scripts)

A better solution is to modify the Makefile :

@unzip -q -f scripts/fckeditor.zip -d $(ELOGDIR)/scripts/

which doesn't work on my Ubuntu 8.04; however changing to:

@unzip -q scripts/fckeditor.zip -d $(ELOGDIR)/scripts/

does...

@unzip -q -f scripts/fckeditor.zip -d $(ELOGDIR)/scripts/

@unzip -q scripts/fckeditor.zip -d $(ELOGDIR)/scripts/

That fixed it!

Thanks Alain.

@unzip -q -f scripts/fckeditor.zip -d $(ELOGDIR)/scripts/

@unzip -q scripts/fckeditor.zip -d $(ELOGDIR)/scripts/

I didn't realize that the Ubuntu version of unzip does not support the -f flag. Anyhow it's not really necessary, so I removed it from the distribution. The fix will be contained in the next release.

Hello

In my config file I have the following :

Options Head = AIX61{1},AIX53{2}, AIX52{3},HMC{4},CL_CLUSTER{5},VIRTUALIZATION{6},MICROCODE{7},BG_BLUEGENE{8}

{1} Options Topic = SECURITY, HIPER,TL00,TIPS
{2} Options Topic = SECURITY, HIPER,TL07,TL06,TL05,TL04,TL03,TL02,TL01 ,TIPS
{3} Options Topic = SECURITY, HIPER,TL10,TL09,TL08,TL07,TL06,TL05,TL04,TL03,TL02,TL01 ,TIPS
{4} Options Topic = HMC_CORRECTIVE, HMC_SECURITY,HMC_FIXES,HMC_INSTRUCT,HMC_MEDIA,HMC_DOCUMENT
{5} Options Topic = CL_DEEPCOMPUTING,CL_SYSMGMT,CL_GPFS,CL_LOADLEVELER,CL_ESSL,CL_PARALLEL_ESSL,CL_SWITCH,CL_RSCT,CL_PENV,CL_INIFINI
{6} Options Topic = PLM,VIOS_PM,VESS,VIOS,VIOS_WPM
{7} Options Topic = 2104-XU3,7017-S80,7017-S70,7020-40P,7025-F50,7025-F40,7025-F80,7026-B80,7026-H80,7026-M80,7028-6C4,7028-6E1,7029-6E3,7025-H50,702X-H70,7038-6M2,7039-651,7040-6X1,7043-140,7043-240,7043-260,7044-170,7248-43P,7043-150,704X-270,8203-E4A,8204-E8A,8844-3AZ,9076-SP,9110-510,9110-51A,9111-285,9111-520,9112-265,9113-550,9114-275,9115-505,9116-561,9117-570,9117-MMA,9118-575,9119-590,9119-595,9123-XXX,9124-XXX,9131-52A,9133-55A,9406-MMA,7037-A50,7047-185,ADAPTERS,DASD,DRIVES,CERTIFIED,OTHER
{8} Options Topic = BG_RELEASES,BG_FIXES,BG_COMPILERS,BG_REDBOOKS,BG_GPFS,BG_ESSL,BG_LOADLEVELER,BG_CSM

All is working fine when creating new entries. But when i use the  find command window,  i only see the Head options and selecting one of them,

the Topic options will not show up like they do when creating new entries.

I've installed the latest elog on Fedora ( version ELOG V2.7.3-2058 ) , but it's the same as the window version i'm using .

Would be nice if the user can search with the same items he used entering the data into the form.

Thanks for you're time.

greetings Arno Teunisse

I finally found some time to implement conditional attributes in the find form. This new feature is contained in SVN revision 2104 and in the Windows version 2.7.3-3.

Hello Stefan

Just downloaded the windows version. It is working great !! Thanks, for this quick solution.. and you're time..

Just like elog more and more...
