Howto subscribe to ELOG RSS feeds in Mozilla Thunderbird, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Apr 8 14:35:19 2005 
|
So subscribe to ELOG RSS feeds, do the following:
- In Thunderbird, click "Tools/Account setting", then click "Add account",
"RSS News & Blogs", "Next", "Finish", "Ok".
- Select "News & Blogs" in the "Folders" pane, right-click and select
"Properties"
- Click on "Manage Subscriptions..."
- Click on "Add"
- Enter the Feed URL of elog. Use your logbook URL and add "elog.rdf". For
this forum for example, enter
http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/elog.rdf
- Click OK. That's all.
See how the RSS feed shows up in the attached image. Please note that you
need public read access to your logbook for this to work (via "Guest menu
commands"), since the RSS mechanism does not support authentication. |

Howto insert screen dumps into an elog entry, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Dec 20 11:17:17 2005
|
With the new ELCode tags, one can insert screen dumps pretty easy into elog entries. I personally use HoverSnap 0.8 under Windows, there are similar tools under Linux. HoverSnap puts a "Capture.jpg" file in a selectable directoy when you press PrintScreen, then you can instert this file with the  button. Here is such a screendump example:

Howto force users to supply an email address when registering?, posted by Johan Nyberg on Thu Oct 20 14:15:14 2005
|
Hi,
Today I noticed that a user had registered without supplying an email address. I am using Self Register = 3, which means I recieve an email from elogd when a new user wants to register. Apparently, I forgot to check that the users email field was empty. This empty email field led to a situation in which no email notifications were sent to the users. The elogd log file looks like this for a user with a registered email address:
20-Oct-2005 12:20:21 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} RCPT TO: <johan.nyberg@tsl.uu.se>
20-Oct-2005 12:20:21 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} 250 Ok
while it looks like this for a user with an epmty email address:
20-Oct-2005 12:20:22 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} RCPT TO: <>
20-Oct-2005 12:20:22 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} 501 Bad address syntax
When elogd hits this error it stops the process of sending emails, which means that no emails
at all are sent to any of the users. After manually adding the email address of the user with an empty address,
automatic email notification work again.
Is there a way to force the users to supply an email address when they register?

Howto Set Default Fonts in Editor Window?, posted by Gregory M. Caughey on Sun Apr 10 07:35:09 2005
|
Hello,
I have been running Elog for a long time on a variety of RedHat releases,
(this is a terrific project by the way). Currently running Elog v2.5.7 on
RedHat (Fedora Core-II) and most is working great excepting being able to
modify the default fonts being used by Elog when trying to write and save
in text mode while in Elog's main editing screen.
On my setup the font size is way too small and to work around this problem
I write and save everything in HTML mode. I've browsed the Elog css file
but don't yet see where or how to properly set the default font style or
size for the main screen in the editor. Can you shed some light on this for
me?

How to update date fields so 'alarms' work correctly., posted by John on Sat Feb 29 06:04:57 2020
|
Hi Stefan!
In the user manual under misc it says this: "The elog program makes it possible to submit logbook entries automatically by the system or from scripts. In some shift logbooks this feature is used to enter alarm messages automatically into the logbook. "
Ok what am trying to do is have all messages update (somehow) without the user entering each record. I want my alarm system to be able to keep-up2-date on the expirations, by simply updating the 'date' fields I have in the logbooks (JS). I am getting used to JavaScript, and have all of that working as far as the actual 'alarms' are concerned. But they are useless if the dates are stagnent (ie. not updateing at least once per day).
So can you refer me to the 'shift books' you reference above, so I can understand how to write the code necessary? I've spend much time searching the net on this and experimenting, so I did try to find out before I posted. I believe using a combination of the Elog Utility, with a dedicated 'start page' that is mostly JS, will be part of the solution...
Thanks soo much for your help and awesome creation! :)

How to sort on any field?, posted by John on Tue Apr 30 05:52:44 2019
|
Hi, I was wondering if this is possible. I've tried to sort on anything other than the first few fields and although the screen refreshes like it is 'doing something', it does NOT sort. Sometimes it will take me to the last page of my data, but still no sorting. I use Debian Linux verson of Elog. There have been no other issues. I need to figure out how to do this without parsing it to another program first. Thanks again for this wonderful program :)
