icon5.gif   Bottom text = <file> not displayed in every screen?, posted by R. Beekman on Tue Jul 22 16:21:51 2003 
I tried to add a file with the  "Bottom text = <file>" option.

Although one would suggest that the bottom text file is included in every 
page, I only saw the file appear in the page that appears when you issue 
the "cmd=Edit" command.

Resolving this would enhance the ability to create skin.
icon5.gif   Need fault-tolerance recommendations for using ELOG for Server Logs, posted by Shawn Larson on Fri Jul 25 23:56:12 2003 
   I would like to implement ELOG as a logbook for our Windows 2000 
servers.  After making the recommendation, my supervisor replied: 

"The problem and perhaps the only problem is what happens when the server 
is down. Electronic log books should be able to replicate from more than 
one source so you can document let’s say from your laptop – and upload to 
the server later."

   Can anyone help me out here with some scenarios to improve fault-
tolerance?  

   Perhaps installing it on multiple servers and synchronizing the data 
and config folders with the NT File Replication Service?  

   Or installing it on one server and each administrator's laptop and 
using Offline Files to synchronize the data?

Any feedback would be appreciated,

Shawn Larson
icon5.gif   using = or <> or AND as part of a filter ??, posted by eric wooten on Sat Jul 26 20:11:01 2003 
Is this possible?  If so, could you provide an example:

I'm trying to find a way that when you do a search, that you can filter 
entries using ( = , <>, AND) on one or more attributes.
ex:  Find all workstations for this subnet, but exclude a particular one.
Thats the basic idea.

Can it be done? If so, how?

Thanks,
Eric
icon5.gif   How to get a list of registered users assigned to an attribute?, posted by Kishore Masand on Thu Jul 31 06:39:40 2003 
Hi,

I am trying to create an issues logbook where I have defined an attribute 
so I can track who this issue is assigned to. In order to get a drop-down 
list of users of the system to show up for that attribute (when creating a 
new issue), I have to type in the whole list of users in the config file. 
The problem is that whenever a user self-registers, I have to go into the 
config file and add that user to the list. Is there a way to write 
something like this:

Options Assigned To = $user_list

I am a new user, and am thoroughly enjoying working with ELog. Thanks for 
such a neat product. I have not been able to go through all the logs yet 
to figure out if this question has been asked/answered before.

Forgive me if I've missed it, but I've looked in the forum, on-line cfg docs 
and downloaded docs.  I cannot find details on how to the used 
the "Execute ..." command.  What is passed on command line, etc.

thanks in advance

Dear Friend!,

Only mistake in your file .cfg is   spell mistake "Passwort" in "Passwort 
file = c:\elog\passwd.txt" line. It should "Password file" t=d. 

try some thing like below,

[Log]
Theme = default
Comment = Financial Accounting Bug posting 
Attributes = Resource, Project Name, Task Desc, SDT, EEDT, ACDT, Percent WC, 
Status 
Options Type = Masters, Transactions, Reports
Options Category = Bug, New Feature, Client Requirement, Change
Required Attributes = Author, Type, Bug
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
Password file =D:\Program Files\ELOG\logpwd.txt
;Self register = 0
Self register = 1

Admin user =sridhar
Menu commands = Back, Login, New, Edit, config, Delete, Reply, Find, Help, 
Logout
Guest user commands = config, admin, Login, logout
ELOG V3.1.5-3fb85fa6
