Hi!

I am not sure if this is a know issue: it seems that the equation editor does not work anymore. Is there any fix or alternative method to type latex formula in the log? 

Thank you!

We have observed the same issue. Did the CodeCogs api change? 

Thanks for the help.

I've inherited a position that includes deploying elog for an at-sea mission. Once at sea there's no gauntee of internet connection so I have to be sure things are going to work before hand. The machines I currently have (we have several backup machines) are running elog version 2.9.2 and I'm looking for a change log, or feature list to determine if it's safe to update the at-sea laptops to the latest version of elog.

On one hand, I could leave things as they are and I'm sure it will just work, on the other hand, I hate seeing things get out of date to the point that something just stops working some day and there's no ability to get support for old software.

I'm already running elog 3.1.4 on my personal machine I use for configuration development and testing and it seems to work well. The config file is pretty simple and seems to work with 2.9.2 on the at-sea machines, but I don't want to run into any suprises if there ends up being a compatibility issue at sea.

If 3.1.4 runs safely on your laptop, there should be no problem to update the 2.9.2 one. But first do it on a copy of your logbooks from the at-sea. The get converted automatically into a newer format but that should be transparent.

On the other hand you don't really need a new system if your old installation works fine and you don't need any of hte new features.

The changelog ist here: https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/ChangeLog

Thanks. I did eveuntaully find the change log and made the decision to upgrade the at-sea machines. So far the configuration file we update for each mission still works. I have a copy of the 2.9.2 installer that if something catostrophic happens I can remove the new version and take it back, but I don't think it'll be a problem. We archive logbooks at the end of a mission, but each mission basically starts from a fresh install like state anyway.

I use linux elog, and if you upgrade to v3.x.x, it's difficult to go back to v2.9.x.  This is because the log files get grouped in year sub directories at  v3.x.x.

In 2.9.x, the logfiles are store as (made up example)    /home/logfiles/yymmdda.log

In 3.x.x they are stored as /home/logfiles/2024/24mmdda.log   /home/logfiles/2023/23mmdda.log  etc.  I think I got the labelling of the subdirectories correct, Stefan will no doubt correct if I am wrong.

I assume the same is true for the Windows version as it would be weird for a split in the program by OS for something important but trivial to impliment for all OS. 

It's a bore to sort that out if you have to revert to 2.9.x - I know, I've done it -  but I don't recall any change in format in the individual yymmdda.log files with an early v3.x.x version I tried.  There may be additions to the log files made in much more recent v3.1.x or so versions, but I guess you are ok with whatever they may be as you've checked the change log.  

I ran a test (using Windows) and you're correct about the subfolder and file naming. I don't think that'll be an issue, but it's good to be aware of. If we end up having to revert to 2.9.2 for whatever reason, I think it sould still work fine if what logs we have are just copied up a directory (i.e /home/logfiles/2023/23mmdda.log ==> /home/logfiles/23mmdda.log)

The difference in the directory structure doesn't matter for my purposes.

I get the following compiler warnings about sprintf() buffer overflows. I suggest sprintf() should be replaced by std::string msprintf() from

I started to convert some sprintf() to snprintf(), but I still have 824 cases to go... Ideally, all should be converted to std::string. Will be some job for my retirement ;-)

Currently have multiple logbooks hosted with elogd. One book is having an issue with Categories. The user regulary uses the category filtering to see one subject for the whole month. This past week it hasn't been working properly. When choosing a drop down category to filter there are not logs found. I've notice the fields under the categories change randomly. Sometimes it would add a % sign where there should be --. Some other fields go from displaying -- Subject -- to just the dashes, thats when the filtered eLogs do not show. Clearing out the erroneous characters can eventually load the specified logs. Has anyone else seen this? Should I just upgrade the system and hope for the best?

PS. while writing this I was able to mitigate the issue by removing the troubled fields from the quick filter section. I'm pretty sure this will not be an issue for my end user but any input is appreciated.

Hi all,

Quick question -- I was wondering if the current Windows Binary/Installer is now compiled for compatibility for Windows 11?  

I did look through the Forum, but the the answer wasn't really clear.  

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm trying to create config file for simple incident logbook. It should has 3 attributes:

1. source (source of incident) with options: 
   1. email
   2. jira_id
   3. ezd_id
2. Tactics (from MITRE but for simplicity I wrote only this):
   1. aaa,
   2. bbb,
3. Technics (also from MITRE but also for simplicity I wrote only this):
   1. tactics1, tactics2,
   2. tactics3, tactics4

And this is not working.

For me it looks that choosing first attribute - Source - causes problems, because after that I cannot choose third - Technics - attribute.

When I will start filling attributes from the second - Tactics - then Technics options are avaiable. 

Below is config file:

Theme = default
Page Title = ELOG - $Theme

Attributes = Source, Technics, Tactics

Options Source = Email{a}, Jira{b}, EZD{c}
{a} Attributes = Source, Adres_email, Technics, Tactics
{b} Attributes = Source, JIRA_ID, Technics, Tactics
{c} Attributes = Source, EZD_ID, Technics, Tactics

Options Technics = aaa{1}, bbb{2}
{1} Options Tactics = tactics1, tactics2
{2} Options Tactics = tactics3, tactics4

Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Source, Technics, Tactics

I will appreciate any help.

Best Regards

Hi!

I like to format an Elog "directory" such that all entries make/occur as a table. Say: 5 columns and a large number of rows. In a sense, make an excel spreadsheet in Elog. Is this possible? How can this be done? Is there perhaps a template?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do, but there are two options in elog:

1) Insert directly a table like this one:

2) Use one ELOG entry as a row in a table. You can try this by clicking on "List" here in the Forum should you not already see the list display, then on "Summary" which give you a spreadsheet like display, where you can specify in the config file which columns of the ELOG entries you want to see. See also the demo here: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/

Best,

Stefan
