  1565   Thu Dec 22 14:32:00 2005 Question Mikemlmoore@pella.comQuestion 2.6.0Maximum number of LogBooks? Bug?
Is there a Maximum number logbooks?

I have run into a problem but I'm not sure if to call it a Bug or not. We have started using Elog to keep a work log for each of our production servers. After a short trial I put generated a config file using groups for all of our servers which is 294 logbooks. Almost every thing works except the config screen. You get a list of all the logbooks with the checkboxes for the email notifications. If you click save (Doesn't make a difference if you make changes or not) you get the following.

Error: Too many parameters (> 120). Cannot perform operation.

I was able to recompile using cygwin under windows after changing MAX_PARAM from 120 to 400. That fixes the problem, but eventually you get a stack overflow.

Any suggestions? I have considered separate instances running 100 logbooks each but I would like to have a global search.

Thanks for a Great tool. I've been using it as a personal log for sometime and was finally able to convince my team we sould use it.

I'm just after installing 2.6.0 and marvelling at all the changes, especially ELCode (I was using 2.5.8 previously). However, I noticed that the "FONT" menu for ELCodes only offers Microsoft fonts Astonished - something I usually avoid like hell when publishing web content, as I cannot rely on those being installed on the clients. As far as I can see there is no easy way to change this, short of patching the source - or is there?
I'd want to add at least options like "serif" and "sans-serif" and maybe some standard (Unix\?) fonts like "Helvetica".

Another little issue I came across was this: I'm using "Menu commands" and "Guest Menu commands" in my configuration. When I logged in and started to create a new entry, clicking on the URL that is behind "ELCode" at the bottom of the screen (and accesses the help for the ELCodes) resulted in a "command denied". The only way to get around this was to add "HelpELCode" to "Menu commands" - but now it also shows up in the menus, which is not what I want. Is there any way around this?

When I import from a CSV file, dates formatted as mm/dd/yy always get imported as 12/31/1969

Here are the parameters I am using for dates:

Attributes = Ticket #, Status, Assigned To, Status Date, Install Date, Category, Activity, Environment, Component, TstTrk
Type Status Date = date
Type Install Date = date
Date format = %A, %d %B, %Y

Preset Status Date = $date


Thanks!

Is it possible to configure elog to copy a new entry from 1 logbook to another?
  1595   Tue Jan 17 01:01:05 2006 Question Jason Koglinkoglin@astro.columbia.eduQuestion V2.6.0localhost definition problem
I've been running elog on my laptop for about a year. I have had a problem several times now when I have had a bad crash of my computer that afterwards elog does not run correctly. The problem appears to be that "localhost" (e.g., http://localhost:8080/) gets changed to a domain name (http://sylvester.columbia.edu:8080/) which is not registered. I only want it to access this elog database locally on my machine and do not even want to set it up as a web server.

I freshly installed it and when I type in http://localhost:8080/ it sends me to http://localhost:8080/demo/ . If I click on the first and only entry it sends me to http://sylvester.columbia.edu:8080/demo/1 and an error occurs loading the page. However if I type in http://localhost:8080/demo/1 it brings up the first entry correctly, but with no formatting because presumably it is looking in the wrong place for the default theme.

How do I fix this since this time reinstalling and rebooting hasn't fixed the problem?

Thanks,

Jason.
  1597   Tue Jan 17 14:09:17 2006 Question Chris Warnerchristopher_warner@dcd.uscourts.govQuestionLinux Email based on not attribute value
Is it possible to send an email if an attribute is not equal to a specific value?

For instance, I have a server logbook that several people are able to write to. There is one person that is ultimately responsible for this server. I would like to generate an email any time that someone other than the System Administrator creates a new entry.

Thanks,

Chris Warner
