Well, the other thing is that the previous page is till in the cache of 
Netscape. You have to hit "Reload" in order to properly update the page.

Besides these two things - browser cache and not stopping the old versoin - 
there is no possibility how you could see the old version at the bottom of 
the page, I update this very carefully on each distribution.

Ooops, I just realized that the Windows 2.2.3 distribution contained the old 
(2.2.2) executable for elogd.exe. I apologize for that. I have updated the 
elog223.exe distribution just now, so please download it again in order to 
get the new file.

Hi Tim,
starting with ELOG version 3 all entries are moved into sub-directories for each year.
If you move the files back from the sub-directories and restart elogd, then the entries should appear again in the logbook with ELOG 2.9.2.
 
I don't know how to solve your other problem. Maybe you should talk to someone locally who can administer your windows server?
Cheers, Andreas

Hello there,

After several years of great ELOG usage I decided to upgrade our ELOG server.  I am using it to keep 
a logbook of my students.

ELOG runs as a windows service but since I cannot access or change windows services (only have access to the
ELOG directory) I upgraded by installing the executable to my laptop then copying the new ELOG version over the server installation.  

Tried this first on my laptop going from V2.9.2-2475  to the last version 3.1.1 and this worked without a problem.

When I tried to reproduce this on the server  all the data is there but ELOG displays it as if no theme was installed. (using the default
by the way)  No colors, no formatting
... at first I thougt this was because the copy was not complete but a second try reproduced the same result???

Tried going back to the old version but then ALL data was gone (structure and all logbooks still there, but data in logbooks gone) ....
Used -v switch to debug and the logging displayed an MD5 hash mismatch, so the logbooks could not be opened.  A restore fixed this ....
I guess upgrading means changing the logbook structure?

Anyway does anyone have any idea why the upgrade loses formatting ??  Tips are welcome

 Hi, 

One question, is possible activate auto-save while write a new "ticket"?

Thanks very much.

It is not clear to me, what you mean by "activate auto-save".
Do you mean that you want to have the typed in data in your forms temporarily saved, to be restored e.g. after a crash of the browser?
This functionality has to be provided by the browser. I use the add-on "Lazarus: form recovery" for firefox, that works fine for me.

Great that you pointed out this possibility. I saw that Lazarus Form Recovery is even available for Google Chrome and it works fine. It however works only for the "EL Code" and "plain" encodings. In the "HTML" edit box it does not work (probably some collision with the FCKEditor). If anybody has an idea about this, please post it.

Hi Stefan,

that reminds me of something: you've wanted to upgrade from the obsolete FCKEditor to the successor CKEditor. That would allow to use the cool editor for math formulas: http://www.fmath.info/plugins/CKEditor/demo.jsp

This feature has been added in Version 2.2.4 which has been released today. 
Use the "collase" button.

easier to click on the message if you run your montior on a high resolution...

This feature has been added in Version 2.2.4 as well. Use "line as link = 1" 
in elogd.cfg
