hello ELOG developers,

i think that i found a problem in the find function of ELOG  version 2.6.1. i can reproduce it on the forum ELOG website on midas.psi.ch:

go to: http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Contributions/?cmd=Find
and enter under author 'ritt' and check the 'search all logbooks' checkmark, then search

the returned list has all your postings on all three ELOG sections, but if you look at the links that are returned, they point to the 'Contributions' 
portion of the ELOG and not the 'Forum' portion as they should. this means that the wrong posting is returned when you click on the link (or in 
this case, no posting at all).

for example, the HTML of the first link is
[...]
<tr>
<td class="list2" nowrap><a href="1723">Forum</a></td>
<td class="list2">
<a href="1723">&nbsp;&nbsp;1723&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>
</td>

<td class="list2" nowrap><a href="1723">Thu Feb 23 15:50:20 2006</a></td>
<td class="list2"><a href="1723">Stefan <B style="color:black;background-color:#ffff66">Ritt</B></a></td><td class="list2"><a 
href="1723"><a href="stefan.ritt@psi.ch">stefan.ritt@psi.ch</a></a></td><td class="list2"><a href="1723">Question</a></td><td 
class="list2"><a href="1723">Re: Protect Selection page</a></td><td class="list2"><a href="1723"></a>&nbsp;</td><td class="list2"><a 
href="1723"></a>&nbsp;</td><tr>
[...]

i.e., it is missing '../Forum' in front of all the links.

regards,
patrick.

Want to use the find function from ELOG to search for empty fields ( Attributes that are not defined ) 
How to do that ? 
Could not find it in the Forum.
 

Greetings Arno Teunisse
 

For demonstration, I created https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/8

The Find search for category aaa(bb) does not give results.
A quick filter corrects the value to aaa\(bb) and delivers results.

I made a simple fix and submitted it as PR to the bitbucket repository.

Is it a time zone issue or a setting issue related to the FIND by date / time issue?

It seems to add an hour to each of the time selections once you select SEARCH. see attached pics

When you do a find in elog, records per page (some crazy large number - for 
your forum logbook, display 57 entries seem to cause the problem, then 
select last year (1 years worth of logs),(don't select printable)

the results appear way off the screen (the message body looks fine, but the 
title, etc extend way off the screen).

Printable doesn't have this problem.

Hi,

is there a trick to get "Filtered browsing" working?

If i am on the first entry and i checked the checkbox of one Attribute, the next entry is still the second one and not the next with the same Attribute.

Hello Stefan,

I have an question for you :o). Is there any solution to use the filtering 
system with an match case solution ? Add a parameter or something else to 
add a solution ? 
I gave you an picture for the explaination.
Wenn I select GA for example, I just want to habe GA in my array and not 
CofoGAr.
Thanks for answer

Hello @all,

for a logbook I have also to set up a guest access. As I want to have a login page first opening the logbook,  I created a second logbook entry in the elog.cfg that points to the same subdir as the original logbook. The idea of this guest access is, that users who have no login rights can read selected items with selected attributes. Therefor I restricted the guest account with all available "Guest"-commands in the elog.cfg.

But this is not sufficient. Let's suppose I have an attribute called 'Accessibility' with options 'public' and 'private'. What I am searching for is a filter command for the list display, i.e. if an entry has the accessibility flag 'public', a guest sees this entry in the list and can access it. But if the entry has the accessibility flag private, the entry should not be displayed for guests but for users, that are logged in.

I read the administrator guide carefully, but I didn't found a command that provides for that. Does such a filtering command for the list exist? If not, is it possible to implement one?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Bayer
