icon5.gif   Maximum number of LogBooks? Bug?, posted by Mike on Thu Dec 22 14:32:00 2005 
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.
icon5.gif   MS Fonts only in ELCode options?, posted by T. Ribbrock on Wed Jan 4 12:05:21 2006 
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".
icon5.gif   HelpELCode needs to be present in "Menu commands"?, posted by T. Ribbrock on Wed Jan 4 12:26:31 2006 
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?
icon5.gif   Date imports from CSV incorrectly, posted by David Brody on Tue Jan 10 00:32:19 2006 
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!

icon5.gif   LDAP, posted by Carl Shirey on Thu Jan 12 16:53:30 2006 
I know you want to make ELOG a stand alone program. But is there a way to still make a stand alone but have the option work with LDAP?
FYI
Elog works great we us it for our shift carryover and we have about 25 people useing it and I have heard no complants with it.
Thanks

Is it possible to configure elog to copy a new entry from 1 logbook to another?
icon5.gif   localhost definition problem, posted by Jason Koglin on Tue Jan 17 01:01:05 2006 
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.
icon5.gif   Email based on not attribute value, posted by Chris Warner on Tue Jan 17 14:09:17 2006 
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
