Dear All, 

 We have been using the ELOG for several years and had inserted hyper-links instead of whole files in order to save storage space. From this month our server is moved to a new location with a new address. Is there a way for me to retrospectivelly replace all addresses with the new server file pass?

Thanks in advance, 

Best regards,

 Marta

Hello,
I like the ELcode feature that lets you easily make an internal link to an attachment in the same post. However, I wasn't able to get this to work in the html editor, even though it's possible to use the ELcode format to link to another post in the logbook. When I type in elog :/1 in the html editor (without the space) and submit (even with an attachment present), it weirdly gets changed and shows up as 61/1 in the submitted elog, without any hyperlink. As far as I know we're using the standard elog code and only modified css parameters. Is there another syntax to link to attachments in html?
Testing it out here: 69699/1  (elog :/1 without the space turned into 69699/1)

You can always insert the full link to the attachment like this one: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/231009_104933/SCR14.PNG

But you can also use elog:69699/1 as shown here. Unfortunately you can do that only after the entry has been submitted, so you know the ID number of that entry. Once you have it, edit the entry and put it in.

thank you!

Hello,

I've noticed that many times, I start an elog and continue editing adding to a few hours later, then I submit and it deletes everything I entered after the last time a draft was saved. I paid more attention and saw that it saves a draft after about a few minutes, and if I wait too long before submitting, it doesn't let me re-save the draft. My workaround is to copy all text before I submit, so if it ignores whatever I entered after the last saved version, I can edit it and paste it back in. Is there a setting someplace that I can change to fix this problem?

Thanks!

Hello,

I started using the record date feature in one logbook, since we plan to copy over old entries Joplin/Onenote. When starting a new entry, I see that the record date is automatically set to the current date, but when I reply to an elog, the record date is automatically set to the record date of the elog I'm replying to. Is there a way to fix this?

Have you tried the config option "Preset on reply <attribute> = $date". On a reply, the <attribute> will be preset with the current date.

That's strange. If you edit a message, indeed a draft is saved every ten seconds or so when you keep typing. In our installations we keep an elog entry typically open for eight hours, then save it at the end of the shift, and everything works fine. Have you tried playing aournd with your config file, like "Restrict edit time" or so? Please also make sure you have the current elog version. I sse you have 3.1.3 which is quit old.
