SVN1723-overiding logbook directory causes eLog to bomb when going into daemon mode (was SVN1714 will not run in 'daemon" mode on Solaris8)

Steve Jones wrote:

BUG: In the initial comment section of elogd_fancy.cfg the line

# This [global] section contains settings common to all logbooks

is not parsed correctly as a comment and the embedded [global] is picked up and confuses elogd, eg., elogd will not pickup the port=8080 option. Taking "[global]" out of the comment restores fucntionality. I recommend checking to make sure that the config file checking routine ignores *entire* lines starting with a comment char;

Acknowledged. The problem was that the section between the line

# This [global] section contains settings common to all logbooks

and the real

 [global]

section was interpreted as the global section, and thus the "real" one was omitted. I changed the code now such that all lines starting with a '#' or ';' are completely skipped, that fixes the problem. The fix is contained in revision 1745.

ISSUE: The option

Logbook dir =

causes an enormous amount of problems, and this may be limited to elog installs that exist in NFS space (as opposed to local disk). If the default is left alone elogd appears to work fine; Try and override and the fun begins. The previous attached traces show that once going into daemon mode none of the logbook dirs can be found nor indexed. The workaround is to use the default "logbooks" dir. Perhaps the routine that creates the default (if not found) should be the same as the one that creates the override (?).

That's weird. Have you tried to specify a full path for the logbook, like /nfs/some/directory ? The only difference of the daemon mode compared to the normal mode is that elogd does a cd to the root ('/'). If you specify logbook dir relative to the starting directory, like 'some/subdir', elogd will the try to access it under '/some/subdir', where it might not have read/write privileges.

I found a small Bug when I create an entry. I activate a checkbox (attachement1) but when I upload a file, the activation disappears (attachement 2). I have to activate again the checkbox.
Is it something I can do?

I tried with V2.6.2-1741 and the problem was not there. It was fixed some time ago, so it should have worked in 1723 as well. Can you try the minimal example coming with the distribution, just by adding one MOptions attribute, like:

[global]
port = 8080

[demo]
Attributes = Author, Type
MOptions Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other

and see if it work there? If it works correctly there but not with your config file, please send me your config file and I will try to reproduce the problem.

Re: Bug? Password file location changed

David Spindler wrote:

Thanks. I checked the changelog and the documentation for any such changes but did not see them. I just looked again, and still do not see them. Anyway, I know what to expect, now, and will adjust. Again, thanks!

That change was actually made in SVN revision 1708 on Aug. 1st, 2006, which was after the release of 2.6.2. So it will be made official in 2.6.3 and documented accordingly.

Re: Push button for Menue Command

An Thai wrote:

Dear Stefan,

in your documentation: ELOG - Syntax of elog.cfg I see two screenshots in the Themes section. The left one shows a layout with Push buttons on the Menue Command. I would like this layout and try to find information on W3C consortium how i can redesign the CSS file to realise the push button for hyperlink, but I cannot get an success there. Can you give more information how you made it?

Thank you in advance

The push buttons in the menu were very old and have been removed long time ago. It is not possible to change this back via CSS, sorry. I updated the screen shots to more recent pictures.

Re: XML, CSV and Raw export produces 'last' page only

Brian Marshall wrote:

The Find command page provides an option, 'Display n entries per page' which is useful when the result of the search is to be viewed on-screen.

However this value is also applied to CSV, XML and Raw export and only the 'last' page of data is exported.
For example, if there are 17 matching entries and n is set to 8, only one entry will appear in the exported file.

In my opinion, this option should be ignored for XML, CSV and Raw export and all matching entries should be exported.

This is indeed right. I fixed it in the current SVN revision #1741.

Option to require new user registration to subscribe to ALL logbooks

Stefan, any chance of having an option that eliminates the ability of new users to pick the logbooks they can register with? I would like to limit this to the "admin" user to pick per individual.

Also, any thoughts to adding a management panel that will the admin user to make global changes to the password file? I do this by bringing it into a text editor and making changes, but it would be nice to do it from the application.

Question

Re: Spell check

David Egolf wrote:

Sorry if this has been asked.

Is there a spell check that can be implemented in Elog or any recommended add on spell check?

Thanks,

David Egolf

I find that the Google spell checker works very well in IE6.
