Hi Maureen,

You write "Upgrading from 2.6.0" Is that version working on the same computer?
If so then its strange. Else try with one of the demo config files and see what happens, try different ports etc.

If the service is running it should work the rest too. I'm running it on a Win7 64 bit so 64 bit is not the problem....

 Hi Stefan,

First : Compliments with your fine application !

The issue : A user wants to search the database. He selects one of the quick filters (e.g. "Show Last / Month"). Next he fills in the form and as long as text boxes are used there is no problem. But when he chooses a value from a populated drop-down list, the quick filter disappears. Other way round (first drop-down list and then the quick filter) no problem.

Kind regards,

Peter de Mol

Does anyone know whether ELOG has limit number of entries or it can create new entries as many as it can go?  Thanks.

The number of entries is not limited. But if there are very many entries, searching can get a bit slow. We have installations with ~100'000 entries and they work still fine. 

I have searched the Elog forum and docs at length for actual examples of how to use the Elog client and I apologize if I missed it somehwere but could someone please provide some actual examples of how the parmeters are used? I haven't had much success setting it up just going by the Elog command syntax quide.

What I intend to do is load a raw text file into an active logbook directly, either one line at at time or batched from a text file ("m" option).

Also, I saw a Perl script contribution somewhere on the site which appears to offer the same functionality as the above util. Just wondering why there would be two methods, and which might be the best for me to use?

Thank you.

I have a street address attribute called Ticket Location which I would like to hyperlink to google maps so I can see a map representation of the actual value. For example, the value "654 Pembina" on the List page shoud be inserted into the url such that it  displays http://maps.google.com/?q=654 Pembina, winnipeg when the browser window opens. This url works fine when I manually type it directly into the address bar, however I cannot get it to work properly as a link originating from Elog.

This is what I have done so far: I added the following to my cfg file: Change Ticket Location = <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=$Ticket Location,%20winnipeg">$Ticket Location</a> ... but the resulting link does not end up contiguous on the single entry page, ie: <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=72217864 Location,%20winnipeg">72217864 Location</a>  .I also tried several variations in the cfg file without any better success (ie: double quotes; resorting to 1 word variable name; concatenating with +; etc).

Having this map link would be a tremendous help to our operation. Does anyone know of any way to make this work?

There's also two spin-off issues I'm having with the above approach that you may have noticed: 1) I also have another separate variable called Ticket (rep the actual ticket #) which Elog assumes I want in the url, hence the reason 72217864 shows up on the single entry opage; 2) Secondly, I prefer the single entry to retain the original value as the link (in this case, 654 Pembina), as opposed to <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=72217864 Location,%20winnipeg">72217864 Location</a>.

Any suggestions on resolving these issues is greatly appreciated.

 Update: I checked through the forum some more (keying on "link" instead of "hyperlink") and found the answer to my main problem - I needed Allow HTML = 1.

So the only issue remaining is that so far I can only get it to work when I use a one word variable (please ref my point #1 in last paragraph above). When I use $Ticket Location vs just $Location, the HTML href sees it as two separate variables. Is there any way to ref $Ticket Location as a single variable in the href statement?

After setting up email addresses for notifications I noticed that the "Full Name" has part of an email address in it. I've tried several ways to correct this however it keeps sending me to a page that says "Password may not contain blanks" and I've not done anything with the password.

Can you tell me how to correct this issue?

I certainly appreciate your help!!

Terry
