Hi,

how can i make the author field read only on new postings? It should take the value from $long_name after login and without login there is no way to make new postings.

This is a part of my elogd.cfg

[global]
.......

Logfile = elogd.log
Logging level = 3
Login expiration = 24
Password file = ./passwd
.......

[Informations]
.......

Logout to main = 1
Logbook tabs = 1
Guest menu commands = Back, Find, Login, Help
Guest find menu commands = Find, Select, Login, Help


Preset Author = $long_name
Attributes = Author, Subject
Required Attributes = Author, Subject
........

Thanks Brassmann

Hi 
I followed copied the example config provide to run on my server .
Apparently , the author field was blank when i do a reply .
I was hoping to get it to be the actual reply author.
Just like the way the forum is done up.
Please help ..

Are you using Remove on reply option ? 

regards

I am handling several ELOGs for medium-sized collaborations (scientific experiments) with a large number of authors (~250) and chose to have single-user access and entries for every author - in the config file, the "Options Author"-List contains ~150 name for now.

However, the Author drop-down menu stops after ~100 names - is that a ELOG-webserver hard limit? I checked there is nothing strange in the author names following (no strange character, etc.).

I tested it on Firefox, Chrome, Safari - it does not seem to be a browser issue.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

When ELOG is configured for Self-Register=3, is it still possible
to use the Author attribute as a Quick Filter? 

When I try it, the Author drop down box doesn't display anything.

Thanks,
Eric

Is it possible to make the author and pwd check case in-sensitive??  I 
noticed that unless you type your userid and password in the same case each 
time, the system doesn't recognize your or thinks the info is invalid.

thanks,

Hello,

I'm not able to authenticate to a logbook using my text based browser links, so I've started investigating with wget hoping solving the problem one will lead to a solution for the other.  I've seen some examples on how to use wget to parse logbook entries in this forum, but my attempts keep returning the login page.  Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.  Here are a couple of the command line arguments I've tried:

wget --save-cookies cookie.txt --keep-session-cookies -d "http://hostname/LOGBOOK?unamee=YYY&upassword=XXX" -O elog.txt

wget --save-cookies cookie.txt --keep-session-cookies -d --post-data="redit=&uname=YYY&upassword=XXX&remember=1" -e robots=off "http://hostname/LOGBOOK" -O elog.txt

After these executions, my cookies.txt file remains empty.  Running subsequent command with "--load-cookies=cookies.txt" still points me to the login page.

Many Thanks,

Chris 

It is very good to have Kerberos authentication available. It is just the error message which is a bit cryptic.

If you enter your Kerberos password once, and later fail to authenticate with a wrong password, you get:

Kerberos error:
Decrypt integrity check failed.
Please check your Kerberos configuration

That is not really urgent!

First thanks for the great software! My only question would be how to implement audit trail feature. I know you can control who edits and that's great but in regulated environments like mine there's a requirement that the original record, the one edited, is not deleted or overwritten. If not possible right now the only thing I could think of is a mechanism, maybe possible thru configuration, that when the record is edited it is copied to an audit trail logbook (i.e. if logbook name is 'test' it's audit logbook will be named 'test-audit' which is read only) and have a link to the audit trail of the record (show only changes of the current record).

I'm more than aware that it's possible thru configuration but I'm short on that dept. Any help/idea?

Thanks in advance!
