Starting from version 2.2.4 which has been released today, the 
option "quick filter" has been added. A "quick filter" is a drop down box 
on the message display page. By selecting a value from the drop down box, 
only messages of that type are displayed. See this forum which uses "Quick 
filter = Date, Category".

This new option adresses a couple of installations which require a large 
number of logbooks. Instead of using many similar logbooks, the old logbook 
name can now be defined as an attribute. All messages get now mixed, but by 
defining the logbook attribute as a quick filter, one can display the 
messages belonging to the individual logbooks separately with a single 
click.

Hi everybody,

I am trying to setup my personal ELog, defining attributes and stuff like that. I just tried to make some nested commands but I really could not achieve that. 

The idea is something like this:

Attributes = Author

Options Author = Tizio{1}, Caio{2}, Sempronio{3}

{1} Attributes = Author, Project

{1} Options Project = Proj1{a}, Proj2{b}, Proj3{c}

{a} Attributes = Author, Project, Year

{a} Options Year = 2017, 2019

Anyway, when I select Proj1 nothing really happens. So, is there any way to set up nested commands like in the reported example?

Many thanks in advance!

P.S. Is there any documentation in which are reported all the possible commands that can be used?   

Hi there,

our host running ELOG crashed. I installed ELOG at another host with copying backup files / folders to new installation. New installation looks fine and seems to be working. But one big problem occurs I only can see some of former existing logbooks. Are there any suggestions how to build an new ELOG with old data?

Many thanks Mario

Hi,

We've made changes in our network and now we have to use port 587 instead of port 25, how can i edit that parameter?

Thanks

Hello,

I have just installed elog onto an ubuntu focal server using <sudo make install> and I am unable to create new entries.

When I access the log via a windows PC connected to the local network, I can see the demo logbook with the 1 test post, but I cannot create or edit anything.

Attempting to post throws the error:

New entry cannot be written to directory "/usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/"

Please check that it exists and elogd has write access and disk is not full.

Please point me in the right direction to correctly set permissions and create aditional log books.

Thanks,

Dan

How can I skip the need for an email address when registering and logging in? Our IT dept will not give an email address to each guy I want on the log.
