Thanks, I added your patch to the distribution.

Here is a simple piece of JS code to accomplish a smart page reload.
We don't reload if in some kind of editing mode.

You can put the code everywhere you like in the elog html page, my suggestion is to put it in Bottom Text (or Top Text):

;auto-refresh
Bottom text = [I]<script language="JavaScript">if (null==window.location.href.match('/[0-9]+$|.*(cmd|select)=.*') ) { window.setTimeout("location.reload();", 2*60*1000); now=new Date(); document.write('<br/>Last reload at '+now.getFullYear()+'/'+(now.getMonth()+1)+'/'+now.getDate()+', '+( ((h=now.getHours())<10) ? '0'+h :h)+':'+( ((m=now.getMinutes())<10) ? '0'+m :m)+':'+( ((s=now.getSeconds())<10) ? '0'+s :s)) }</script>[/I]


the timer is a product of # of minutes, #of seconds and milliseconds... 2 minutes in the above example Smile

Starting with SVN revision 2422, there is a new config option

refresh = <seconds>


which lets you do the same thing.

Our server runs on local time, however, we require log entries to be in UTC (-0800hrs) - is there a command to achieve this?

Your assistance will be much appreciated

Thanks

Have you tried

 

Subst <attribute> = $utcdate

 

Probably you need a dedicated attribute of type "datetime" and have to play with the "Date format" options.

Unfortunately you made your changes against a pretty old version of elogd.c, so I can't see which changes you made (the diffs gives 100's of changes now). If you can apply your fix against the current elogd.cxx from the bitbucket repository, I would be happy to include the fix in the distribution.

  37   Tue Aug 23 19:45:16 2011 Stuart Wilkinsswilkins@bnl.govScriptELOG Mail ParserAlpha 

 Hi!

I have attached a small script which can process an e-mail and submit this e-mail as a log entry. This is alpha at the moment but if you have suggestions or find bugs please let me know. 

The easiest way to process this is to use the ".forward" file in unix. If this file contains the line:

| "/usr/bin/python /home/tardis/elogmail/process.py --log /home/tardis/elogmail/mail.log -r -u http://localhost:8080/TARDIS -a Category=email -a Type=Log"

This will pipe the incoming mail to the e-log running on the localhost with the experiment TARDIS. Attributes can be set using the "-a" switch like in the elog command line utility. To get help with all the options please run the script with the command:

python process.py -h

which will give help.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, and I will do my best to help.

Thanks again to Stefan for a great application.

Best wishes,

Stuart

The attached script was used by the Debian package (which is no longer maintained) to start/stop elogd. I have changed it based on some comments in the forum (see script) to add some more functionality. As there is no mainatined elog package for Debian anymore, I'm placing it here in the hope that it might come in handy for users who want to run elog under Debian.

This script needs to be placed in /etc/init.d and expects elogd to be installed as /usr/sbin/elogd (can be changed, of course).

Stefan Ritt wrote:

Dear ELOG users,

starting with SVN revision 2328, custom input forms are implemented. This allows application specific formats for check lists etc. In our specific case we had to implement a shift check list, which was quite long. Furthermore the check list should be optimized for an iPad, which we take in the field and record various checks and readings (in our case some gas pressure gauges at the PSI particle accelerator). Since the standard ELOG interface was too inflexible, a completely hand-written form was needed. The form can be activated by the new configuration options Custom New Form, Custom Edit Form and Custom Display Form, one for a new entry, an entry to edit and and entry to display. In our case we used the same form for all three cases. This is how the shift check list looks under the Safari Browser on a PC:

Capture.png 

And here is how it looks on the iPad:

IMAG0036.jpg

Each section can be collapsed and expanded (blue arrows at the left), and various internal checks are made before the check list can be submitted.

Implementing such forms is however more something for the advanced user, since you have to hand-write HTML with CSS and JavaScript code. It can then however be a powerful method for check lists. Please find in the attachments the elogd.cfg configuration for that logbook and the shiftcheck.html source code file. It is a bit complicated since the page is a static page, elogd just serves it from the file. This requires all the dynamic functions to be implemented inside the HTML file with JavaScript. To display an entry for example, the JavaScript loads the raw data with the "?cmd=Download" command and the populates the form fields. The collapsing and expanding is done by using CSS properties. The integrated style sheet was optimized for the rendering on an iPad. Rather large fonts were chosen so that the items can be checked easily with your finger tips. Various parameters are sent between the browser and the elogd program via hidden fields and cookies. So only something for experts! But if you go through the effort and hand-write the form, it can be very handy. Note that you have to upgrade to SVN revision 2328 for the three new options.

 

 

That's awesome!! Didn't know ELOG was still being developed!!  I was looking for this ...been trying this version now with
supplied example but there's files missing which are being referenced from the html file.

Anyway it would be nice to know a little more on how to use this and how it incorporates into ELOG.

Is some more work being done on this version ?

Thankx heaps for this great enhancement although now it's still needs a lot of figuring out on how to do this.
