Since 2.7.8, however, it does not appear while editing, but shows up only after the user submits their entry. We would prefer that this appears while the user is editing, because in some cases we want the users to have the option to modify this text. Was this intentional? Is there a way to restore the previous functionality?

Thank you!

honor "user" field in the Apache SSL request object or environment variables in SSL process groups?

Will elog defer user identification and authorization to the ssl engine of a *local* Apache proxy? I'd like to try elog in a site that requires the service port positively authenticate and identify users via smartcard certificate ID. Per SOP they have Apache+mod_ssl setting SSLUserName=SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN which sets both the SSL request object's "user" field and the REMOTE_USER environment var relative to the mod_ssl's session's process group leader. Users auth with Apache's mod_ssl as a single-signon replacement for web apps which have traditional native, internal user accounts/passwords, but those passwords are subsumed by the Apache/smartcard/mod_ssl setup. The web apps define internal accounts matching the users' cert IDs but do not allow any management of the [unused] passwords. Can elog do this?

How to make Subst run?

Dear colleagues,

I tried to get an Subst <attrib> = $shell(<command>) to work and put this into a Preset text line, like e.g.:

Attributes = subject, ... 
Options <name> = test{1}, ...  

Subst myvar = $shell(dir) 
{1} Preset subject = Test 
{1} Preset text = $myvar

Which results in an ELOG-entry having printed "$myvar" in its body instead of the expected substitution. Changing the Subst command to: "Subst myvar = $host" or even to "Subst myvar = Test" also resulted in printing just the string "$myvar" into the submitted Elog-entry. - What am I doing wrong?

Best whishes

Robert

We have been running elog for a few years now and its solid. The only thing is we are getting to 140k entries over a few books and its starting to slow down whist searching. My questions is can we go to an SQL type database rather than a flat file? Is it worth it? Is anyone running this type of configuration?

Hi Stefan,

I'm starting to get a similar problem to Lance's ("SQL Database").  Searching is beginning to take time.

In searching, I either can search one logbook (still relatively quick), or all of them.

I have my logbooks in groups, and often I know which group I want to search, and it would make the searching
much quicker were the search confined to just that group.  I don't think I've missed anything in the
documentation on this matter.  

If not a change to the elog program, is there another way of (say) arranging the logbooks that will achieve this?

fckedit and creating tables

Hello

Using windows7 and the elogd 2.7.7 built Jul 31 2009, 13:01:20 revision 2246. I noticed a bug in the tables created with fckeditor. When on winxp there is no problem. So it seems windows7 related.
Don't know if I should post here or somewhere else. When i Click the table icon i get :
When I want to continue ( Pressing Yes) i get

So the OK button is removed, and i can only cancel. So it's impossible to create a new table in elog. ( yes , create it by hand, but that is not so nice )
Download the latest version of elog : elogd 2.8.0 built Aug 2 2010, 12:16:05 revision 2312 . Just to see if this helps. The result is the same.
Is there some solution/workaround for this ?

Thanks for elog : it's great.
