Hi

Im currently experimenting with Elog to see if we can use it to track maintenance work. But Ive come up against a problem, When I export the data to a csv file,

the date has a comma inserted between the day of the week and the rest of the date. This means that all the fields are then shifted to the right after the date.

This looks like a bug to me, the test records included in the demo does not exhibit this problem, until a new record is added.

cheers Richard

  What about exporting record separated by a semicolong ";" ?

I fixed that in SVN revision #2040, the comma is simply replaced by a space in the date string.

Hi Stefan

Thanks for the quick reply.

We seem to be running 2012 - Which may explain the problem - I will see with our system administrator why we are not running 2040. By the way I also had this problem when running the windows version.

Cheers.. Richard

Hi Stefan

Our IT administrator has just downloaded and installed the latest source code from the site and installed it. We still now have version 2012?

Where do we get version 2041 ?

Cheers,  Richard

The bleeding edge version you get always from our SVN server, but you have to recompile it yourself. For your convenience, I just made you a version 2.7.2-3 containing the latest source code.

Thanks Stefan

Everything works now.

Hello,

one question regard Options: For e. g. I am using the following command: Options Categories = NT, 2000, XP, Linux
Now I would like to delete the entry NT. But that would cause, that NT is no longer available in the search function. So I wonder if there is a way to deactivate an attribute?

Thanks!

Uwe

A deactivate option is not implemented. The only possibility you have is to enter the search string drictly in the url, like

http://<host>/<logbook>/?Category=NT

Thanks for the quick answer!

best regards,

Uwe

How can I make a cross reference from one entry to another entry in the same ELOG logbook?

Have a look at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html, under the section "Adding stuff to a logbook". Basically you can write elog:<id>. At the moment, this works however only in the "plain" or "ELCode" encoding. For HTML encoding, I will add this functionality soon.

Thank you! The HTML functionality will be v. useful

I implemented this in SVN revision #2036.

Hello,

How do I proceed to have spell check in fck editor under linux / firefox ?

Kind regards

Stéphane

You have to talk to the FCKeditor guys about that. On their website they mention IEspell, but this works only for MS Internet Explorer. On their demo site, I see the spell check icon, but it's greyed out. In this forum, spell checking works for me using Firefox 2.0 under Windows after I installed the Firefox extension "United States English Dictionary" from here. Maybe this works for you also under Linux. There is however one problem: I get wrong words underlined in red, but I cannot get suggestions by clicking at the wrong words. For FCKeditro version 2.6+ however it was announced that there will be a new spell checker, so maybe you have to wait for their update.

Hello,

I would like to make several attachement at the same time. I would be great cause I have lot of attachements to do every day. I try wiht CTRL or SHIFT key but I failed in.

Is it possible at this moment ?

Kind regards

Stéphane

Unfortunately this is a limitation of HTML and your browser. Most photograph printing services have the same problem, you can only upload one photo at a time, so they come up with some Java programs you have to run locally to upload sets of photos. Or they have standalone programs, but they only work under Windows. So the only way to ease your pain is if you put your attachments into a single zip file.

Thank's for your answer.

Stéphane

Diogo Alves found a possibility, at least for firefox. Have a look here.

Between the ELOG versions 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 the internal HTML editor FCKedit has been upgraded from version 2.4.3 to 2.5beta. The new version has a few more options and supports more browsers. People however reported some errors popping up like Unknown toolbar item "ELOGSubmit". This happens because some browsers cache the JavaScript from the old version of the editor in their cache. To fix this problem, simple clear the browser's cache. In Firefox, do a Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Cache -> Clear now. Other browsers have similar ways to clear the cache.

Hi,

I'm importing an Excel spreadsheet into ELOG through CSV format.  All working fine apart from dates.

Dates are exporting from Excel in the format "day/month/year" so 1st January 2008 is exported as 01/01/2008 in the CSV.

However all dates are displayed in ELOG as "01/01/1970" regardless of the field content, and looking at the raw ELOG data file dates are displayed as numeric's - so for example 01/01/2008 is "1199188800"

Can you tell me how dates are computed/stored in ELOG so that I can do the necessary conversion.

Many Thanks

Fergus

S'ok - looked up the documentation  and have converted Excel dates to ELOG 'seconds since 01/01/1970' and all has come over fine!

Thanks

Fergus

Hello,

In elog version 2.7.1.2004, when I want to upload an image, after browsing I obtain a error message like < Upload command not unauthorized>. That is strange is the file is right uploaded in the logbook directory but not appear in the entry.

Thank you for your help.

Stéphane

Thank you for reporting this problem. I found that it was related with switching ELOG to French (in the English version it always worked). I fixed this in revision #2006 and re-made the 2.7.1 distribution with the bug fix.

Hello,

I made the test and it's really switching english to french. Another problem I observe by switching in french is when I want to create / edit an entry in html, the tool bar is hide ! Does the #2006 will corret this too ?

Regards

Stéphane

 This seems to be a problem with the FCKeditor which is used inside ELOG. If you upgrade from a previous version of elog, make sure not to only update the executable, but the whole scripts directory tree. When you start elogd manually, you will see FCKedit detected if the installation is correct.

Thank you for the #2006 which correct the upload problem in french.

The problem with the toolbar when creating / edting entry in html mode still exist. I try in french, it fails. I try in english, it works. I ran manually elogd and FCKedit detected is printed during elogd starting.

Kind regards

Stéphane

Ok, I guess I found it. Can you try with #2007 again?

It works... Thank you very much for correcting so quickly

Best regards

Stéphane
