Please tell me how to share my elog with people.

Dear colleagues,

I am trying to use the elogd as a service with activated shell-execution. Invoking 'elogd -x' on the command line works fine, as well as 'elogd -install'. The option 'elogd -x -install' does not seem to be implemented, so I followed two ways to get this to work:

1) creating my own service with instsrv/srvany and registry editing: starting 'elogd -x' does not work (error 1053), the -D option has to be added, to start the service without time out. But then shell execution seems to be not working, because no input to the elog is generated, but also no message saying shell execution was not enabled!

2) using 'elogd -install' and modifying the registry entry by adding the -x option to the command line in the 'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\elogd\ImagePath': This enables shell execution, but instead of piping the output to the logbook, some DOS boxes pop up executing the shell command and terminate. No entries are generated.

Has anyone an idea?

Best regards

Hello @all,

because I've got a very quick response on my 1st question regarding
"Change attributes" here is anonther one:
I've defined 2 attributes with "Change attribute" / "List Change attribute" (see configuration).
Because this values are build on other attributes I want to hide these attributes in 
NEW / EDIT mode. How is this possible?

Regards
Holger
---
CONFIGURATION:
Comment = DEMO
Attributes = Admin, Hostname, IP-Adresse, Funktion, RIB Hostname, RIB IP, RIB http, ELOGs http
Change RIB http = <a href="https://$RIB Hostname/" target="_new">RIB-Board</a>
List Change RIB http = <a href="https://$RIB Hostname/" target="_new">RIB-Board</a>

Change ELOGs http = <a href="http://elogs/$Hostname/">ELOG</a>
List Change ELOGs http = <a href="http://elogs/$Hostname/">ELOG</a>

Preset Admin = DEMO
Locked Attributes = Admin, RIB http, ELOGs http
Fixed Attributes Edit = RIB http, ELOGs http
Display search = ID, Date, Admin, Hostname, RIB http, ELOGs http
List Display = ID, Date, Admin, Hostname, RIB http, ELOGs http
Link Display = ID

I think I know what the answer(s) will be already.. that I will need to address this in JS. I don't want each screen to run/show the same code, other than the ones I want to.  AND I do not want to have to create a custom form for each 'menu option' to achieve this (if possible).

Thanx,

John

Hi,

I would like to have the author email addresses listed only for users which
have logged in, but not for guest users. In the elogd.cfg file I have:

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Subject
Guest Display = Author, Category, Subject, Text

But these attributes

  ID Date Author Author Email Category Subject Text

are shown also when visting the logbook as a guest. For the guests I would
like to show only these attributes

  ID Date Author Category Subject Text

Any ideas what I am doing wrong or why this does not work?

Johan

Is there a way to remove the "Remove user" button from non-Amin users config page?

BTW Stefan ELOG is a Great Solution!

Thanks

Mark. 

Hi there,

It seems that by default in a message created as "reply" of another message, the "quoted text" of the original entry is put at the _TOP_ of the new entry and not movable (Firefox 17, elog 2.92). I would strongly like to have it opposite, i.e. that one is able to create a new text first and only then has the "quoted text" since people are interested to see a new information and only then the previous messages as sort of "reminder". It was like this in older (2.6?) version but now I did not find how to change this default behavior. Did I miss something?

Cheers

Valentin

 Hello,

I have followed the very simple steps on the Download page for checking out and compiling from GIT.  That works perfect and there is no issue.  

The problem I have is-- it is not clear to me where to put the 'elog' dir that I have after I 'make' and 'make install'.  Or, is there an installer script afterwards that I run? I'm installing on Debian 7 and trying to upgrade from 2.5.2 (which was installed using apt-get.)
