Hi Stefan,

Is there a way to add a 'Tool Tips' to individual 'Options' similar to that currently available for Attributes? I have several checkboxes under an attribute for predefined email groups and would like to see if I can make the recipient list viewable via a mouse hover using the 'Tool tip' feature.
If not possible can it be added to the wishlist?


Ok, I implemented this. It is in revision 1760 and will be contained in the next release.

Greetings~

First, the problem. Fairly regularly (at least once a week, perhaps more), our elog daemon seems to quietly die. The process is still running but anyone attempting to access the server gets "connection refused." The elog log doesn't show anything and the apache logs just show "proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by [path]". Calling a daemon restart doesn't seem to kill the daemon -- I get a "could not bind to port" error. Using kill and then starting the daemon again fixes the problem for a few days and then we start over.

The particulars:
We are running elog on an Ubuntu (6.06 Dapper Drake LTS) web server.
It's currently version 2.6.1+r1642 pulled via apt-get from the Debian repositories.
elog is hiding behind an apache2+SSL proxy.

Any thoughts? Has anyone else seen this behavior? My next step is probably to compile 2.6.2 and remove the packaged flavor but I wanted to see if this was a known bug...

Thanks,
-Peter

Hello,

I am running two ELOG installations: one on my Windows laptop; the other on a Debian linux web server. I have mirroring set up between the two installations. This has worked well for over a year. I am hoping that someone can help me regarding the following odd behaviour.

1. I edit (create) an entry on my Windows laptop. This entry gets mirrored or synchronized to the Linux machine.

2. I can view the entry fine both on the Windows side and on the Linux side.

3. I then edit the entry on the Linux side. After saving, the revised entry is visible on the Linux side.

4. I then have the same entry number available on both installations, but the two have different content due to my edit.

5. If I then synchronize, the original (unedited) entry is preserved along with the new entry, so both the Windows and Linux installations now have TWO entries each, representing the unedited and edited versions. The time stamps are identical, but the edited version is given a new ID number.

As a check, I explicitly added the line "Resubmit default = 0", which I know refers to editing and not synchronization, to my config file. The weird thing is that the synchronize/mirror operation seems to be acting with a "Resubmit default = 2" kind of behaviour.

Has anyone observed this happening?

Thanks for any comments or insights.

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi,

I'm new to elog and I was wondering if it is possible to do some presets on MOptions attributes when displaying a new form ? I've read the elogd config page but couldn't find how to do it.

Thanks for your help,

stephane

Hi,

I am an apache ignoramus who has been trying to follow these instructions on a Debian 3.1 box.  I got hung up for
the following reason.  I had to explicitly enable some apache features, which was a simple matter of making the
following symlinks in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled: 

	proxy.conf -> ../mods-available/proxy.conf
	proxy.load -> ../mods-available/proxy.load
	rewrite.load -> ../mods-available/rewrite.load
	headers.load -> ../mods-available/headers.load
	ssl.conf -> ../mods-available/ssl.conf
	ssl.load -> ../mods-available/ssl.load

Easy enough.  The default proxy.conf has sensible-looking warnings about not running your server as an open proxy.
 However, I wasn't able to tweak it to encrypted port forwarding from :443 to :8079.

What I've done that works is to add a local proxy section to the /etc/apache2/conf.d/elogredirect.conf by Damon
Nettles:

	<VirtualHost *:443>
		### ... everything else

		<Proxy *>
			Allow from all
		</Proxy>
	</VirtualHost>

I think, since this is in a subsection, that it only affects that virtual host.  But it'd be nice if someone who
actually understands this language would reassure me that I'm not setting myself up for some security hole.  At
any rate it took me long enough to figure this out that I thought I'd post a note in public, and this seems like
the forum to do so.

Thanks.

Rob

Hi,

Is there a way of having $long_name in 'Moptions'?

We use ELOG (amongst other things!) to allocate work out to Developers (who are all configured as ELOG users) I would like to use 'checkbox' functionality to allocate out a task to more than one developer. Currently only a single developer is chosen from a drop down list.


This was not possible until now, so I implemented the option
Type <attribute> = muserlist

which gives you checkboxes (= multi-userlist) for all users instead of a drop down list. This feature is implemented starting from revision 1758 and it will be contained in the next release of elog.



Hi Stefan, apologies if I am being a bit dense (!) When I download the latest windows binary it extracts to ELOG V2.6.2-1749. Where could I get revision 1758 >

Thanks in advance
