Hi all,

first off all let me say, that I realy like this great tool. That is a lot of help for keeping our server documentation up-to-date. Thanks to all contributors for that.

I right here, because I actually have an issue with saving entries working with IE11 (but also in IE9). When ever I enter an entry, and click the save button, the page open a page with the text: "OK 1"   or the second attemp: "OK 2"   3rd  "OK 3" and so on. To get back to my Item list, I have to click the back button in the internet explorer. I also opens a lot of draft entries in my databases.  When I submit my entry, I don't have an issue, and the entry is saved correctly.

This issue doesn't happen when using Google Chrome.

Had anyone an simlar issue using elog with IE?  It would be great to have some help with that issue.

Thanks

Torsten

The original theme is from Francois Cukier but I have change a some color 
and font.

Francois Cukier  said : "Uncompress "Bubble.zip" in your Elog default 
folder if you want to replace the original elog theme. Otherwise, if you 
decompress it in another folder, you will need to modify your elogd.cfg 
file as described at this adress: http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html"

Do it at the same ;o)

I want to thanks Francois Cukier and Stephan Ritt for their works, so 
THANKS a lot !

I wait your comments :o).

2005/08/1 : Alexander Sheremet correct CSS bug thanks to it, archive re-uploaded

Hello,

I am using ELOG 2.5.2. I had a real need for a simplified almost text-only version of the application.  For me 
personally, I like simple, minimalist and text-only as much as possible for the tools I use.  I personally found 
the layout with all the colors to be distracting from the content of each log entry.  Again this is ONLY my 
personal preference, NO offense meant. :-)

I took the default.css and modified it to achieve what I needed.  I am uploading here, the .css file.  It uses 
"blue" for some of the things such as attribute fields on single page view, etc.  but overall it's all clean, 
plain-text.

I don't know if this css will work on newer versions of ELOG (since I know i'm using an old one.)  But it's my 
hope that others like me, will find this modification very useful.

Thank you Stefan, and community -- this is an awesome tool, that I use in my business.  It's amazing how simple 
tools are always the most powerful and scale-able!  Fantastic, excellent job on this app.

I`ve edited-prepared new default.css
It`s very simple but maybe will for someone useful.

Have a nice day.

regards
Branislav

Hello. 

I did simple theme for ELOG called "dansaj". 

This is verision which I did for my ELOG, and if you have troubles in other configurations, please let me know, and we will correct it. 

Vectors versions of icons you can find in oryginals folder (if you want to transform it). 

The most current version you can download from my blog - Elog theme, czyli skórka, albo temat.

Regards

Daniel.

Hello all,

I became aware of the usefulness of Elog while working at Brookhaven National Lab. Since that time, I have developed a version of Elog that can be used as a log book for observations in Astronomy (my longtime hobby). Attached is my default.css theme and replacement icon files that match the theme. The color scheme is chosen to minimize bright lights and preserve night vision

To install, just place the default.css file in the default theme directory and copy over the icon files into the default theme directory and replace the default ones. 

Comments and suggestions welcome!

Thank you

I have created a javascript to be used as a browser link that allows a one
step cut and paste from a web browser into a elog logbook. 

The intended application is allow a user to do a text selection in a web
browser, then click on a bookmark that automagically pastes the selected
text, the current browser page url, and the current browser page title into
a pre-defined elog logbook.   I do some research where I would like to save
some text from a webpage, but also have a record of where the webpage came
from.  However, you should find that you can extend this script in a varity
of ways for your own application.  

The script is a simple one: it uses javascript in a saved bookmark to get
your selected text, title, and url, and then creates a new browser window
with a elog form, and print the document variables into the form, and then
submits the form to elog.   The key advantage to this approach is that you
can use the "post" command, rather than "get", to submit to the text section
of an elog logbook.  The only way I found now to submit to elog via a
bookmark is using the "get" command, and it doesn't allow entry of the
"text" field, only attribute fields.    

The second major advantage to using POST is that you can submit a much 
large quanity of information ; However, some checking on this leads me to 
believe that the limit is browser and server depended, so YMMV.  However, a 
great discussion on the limits of browsers can be found here: 
http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/browsers.html .

One of the major limits is that IE6.0 browsers have a maxium of 508 bytes
per bookmark - This book runs over 800 bytes, so I suspect tha IE6+ will 
not allow it. I tested the link with Mozilla and Firebird 0.7.

This script will need to edited for you to use with your elog logbook.
The script should be fairly self-explainitory, if you are used to html 
forms and have some exposure to javascript.

You will need to modifiy the following fields:

1) in form action = http://<your_domain.com>/elog/<logbook>/?cmd=New
   
   change the link to point to your specific logbook to be used for entry.

2) the attribute fields need match up with the ones in your logbook.

   The ones listed in the template are Author, Email, Title, and URL.

   If you have fixed fields (like Author and Email), then you can
   predefine these fields as shown.  

   I have the page title used as the entry for Title, and the page url is
   use as the URL attribute.

   Finally, I have the text selection used as the entry for the Text field.

   You can add additional fields by creating a new <input ...>  segment
   in the script.  For those more clever than me, you can concatinate the
   title, url and selection to paste into the Text area as well.  

3) once you have a edited version of the script (make sure you keep it as a
single line), you can then create a new bookmark in your browser, and then
paste the script into the properties->location field (for Mozilla/Firebird)
or the properites->url field (IE). Give it a good name like "post to elog"

4) once saved, you can then go a web page, select some text, and then go to
your bookmarks and click on the bookmark. It should then create a new
window in elog with a completed logbook entry.


some notes:

1) again, this may not work on IE6+ browsers due to M$ limitations.

2) You may have to be logged in already to elog for this work - I have not
tested the interaction using a password protected elog

3) You can only post to a single elog logbook - You'll need to have 
multiple bookmarks for multiple logbooks.

Note added by Stefan Ritt:

I zipped the attached JavaScript, since our email router does not allow .js 
file name extensions.

The elogd.init script that ships in the elog distribution is Linux centric.
 This script is written to work in a generic Unix environment under 'sh' -
no frills!

Takes one or more files from the command line that contain MIME
messages, and explodes their contents out into /tmp.  The parts
are sent to elog as attachments.
