Then you have to install elog there from the RPM. See http://midas.psi.ch/elog/adminguide.html
icon5.gif   Hiding attributes in Detail view?, posted by Justin Ellison on Fri Mar 2 16:39:22 2007 
First off, thanks so much for this product. It works excellent for us as a server activity log. I have a question, which depending on the answer, might be a feature request Wink

As I mentioned, we use elog as a serverlog. Sometimes, but not always, we will have a Bugzilla bug # that is associated with the log entry. We then take that bug #, and build a link to our bugzilla server displaying the bug. Here's the relevant config entries:
Attributes = Author, Classification, Subject, Bug Number, Environment, Server, Bugzilla
...
#Make the list table narrow enough to fit in the browser
List display = ID, Date, Author, Subject, Server, Bugzilla
...
#We take in a Bug Number from the user, then calculate a Bugzilla link from that
Change Bugzilla = <a href="http://bugz:4545/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$Bug Number">$Bug Number</a>
List Change Bugzilla = <a href="http://bugz:4545/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$Bug Number">$Bug Number</a>
Hidden Attributes = Bugzilla

So, on new entry, the user has the option to enter a Bug Number. Bugzilla is not displayed because it is derived. In list view, Bug Number is not displayed, but Bugzilla is, providing a handy link to the bug on a different server.

The only thing that isn't working as I'd like is when someone views a log entry. Both Bug Number and Bugzilla show up in the attributes. This isn't a huge deal, it's just showing redundant data.

Is there a way to hide Bug Number on the view page?

Any takers?

In revision 1809 I implemented the options
Show attributes = ...
Show attributed edit = ...

The first one is for the log entry page, the second for the entry form. This way you can distinguish between the bug number and the link. The old option Hidden attributes has been dropped, since it has the same effect now as Show attributes edit.
icon1.gif   Hardcoded Path in Makefile, posted by Martin Killenberg on Tue Feb 20 18:41:31 2007 
I tried to compile ELOG on Scientific Linux Cern 4.4 and found that make quits because uname is not located in /usr/bin (like it is hardcoded in the makefile) but in /bin.
Later I found that this is only the case in the svn version, in the "latest.tar.gz" from 2007/02/20 the path is /bin.
Why do you have the absolute path in the Makefile? uname should be in the default path on any system. (The same applies to "rm")

I also was confused that you only provide one rpm Package (except for debian) without mentioning for which distribution. You try to avoid dependencies, but the elogd is linked against the basic libraries libc and ld-linux, which might vary.

Ups. The hard-coded /usr/uname somehow sneaked in from some temporary test. I removed it in the current SVN.

Indeed the RPM package I provide is built under Scientific Linux. The Debian port is done by someone else. Unfortunately I don't have ten boxes with all possible distributions laying around, so my possibilities are quite limited and I depend on third party help. If you want to contribute additional RPMs you are welcome.
icon13.gif   Upgrade to 2.6.4 broke quick search, posted by T. Ribbrock on Tue Mar 6 16:59:13 2007 
Hi!

I just went from 2.6.1 to 2.6.4 and since the upgrade, the quick search drop-down menus no longer work. I can select an attribute, but when I do so, I only get an empty page with the following message:
Attachment #0 of entry #0 not found
Please use your browser's back button to go back

When I do go back, the attribute I selected is still selected, but all entries are listed. With 2.6.1, this worked like a charm.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Apparently, this must have been some session-oddity - I just logged out and got an error message about a bad URL. I then went to the base URL of the logbook (i.e. http://server:8080), chose the correct logbook and logged in again. Things work fine since. No idea what went wrong the first time round... Frown
