Drafts are not shown in the list page, but you can browse directly to them, if you know their idea. They are also shown if you hit "new". Then a box comes up "You have unfished drafts, do you want to edit them?". This is the new draft feature introduced recently and a feature of elog.
But I guess you have a more general problem. You run two elogd severs, and you transfer information between the two servers via Dropbox. Elog is not made for that. Elog is a web server, so you don't have to transfer data via a could service (except maybe for backup). You can access your one and only elog instance from everywhere. Everything else will give you trouble.

Hi, I have noticed that if an entry is not submitted it is saved in a sub-folder (name is current ID number) eg http://localhost:8090/mike/23, while draft it doesn't appear in list page but you can browse directly to it.
When you update an entry on one server instance, if you then browse to the entry ID on the 2nd server instance it is draft. If you edit then submit the entry then appears in list page on 2nd server instance.
Thanks again.

Ah, I see another problem. The pre 3.1 version had all logbook files in one directory, and the 3.1 puts the files in one subdirectoy per year. On transition from 3.0 to 3.1, an automatic conversion is made, but only once. If you later add files into the root logbook directory, they will not be seen. So you have to move them manually into the right subdirectory.

Thanks very much for your comments. I will take a look at the mirror server functionality.
I have only been running one elogd at a time, restarting elogd (on Windows 10) doesn't seem to pick up the changes made on Windows 8.1 PC (stopped elogd after changes made and log file updated)

Besides the commen Andrea made I would like to add that you can convince elog to show all files if you simply restart it, then it will re-scan all files. But as Andreas said, if two elogd instances write to the same directory, you will get a mess with double IDs of entries.

Hi,
I'm having an issue with Elog 3.1.1 on windows 10 not displaying all log entries (after a certain date) in a logbook directory.
The logbook is saved in a Dropbox folder and the entries were created on a windows 8.1 PC with 3.1.1 also.
I created an entry in windows 10, this created a new log file (new day) with a duplicate ID, deleted the log file and then the windows 10 pc displayed all entries.
Is there any way to ensure Elogd picks up all log files ?
Thanks & Regards,
Mike

We have multiple users for a single elog. Aside from making an entry only editable by the author, is there a way to secure the entry if it is being edited so that only one user may edit a particular entry at one time?
Also, is there a way to auto-submit entries after x minutes?
Your help and support are appreciated.

You can use
use lock = 1
as described in the documentation. Auto-submission is on the wishlist and will be implemented in the not-so-far future. |

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | | V2.6.0 | Re: localhost definition problem | Hi Jason, how is going? Long time no hear!
What you need is following line in your config file:
URL = http://localhost:8080/
This is because elog does not know its "own" address, and therefore tries to figure this out over the network. Your laptop probably has the name "syslvester", and you run it inside columbia.edu, so it "thinks" it can reach itself via http://sylvester.columbioa.edu:8080. The URL statement above overrides this "guess".
Best regards,
Stefan |

Hello again,
I love to use elog, but I don't need any other accessing it for the moment. So, it is possible to run elog locally on my PC, and make it not accessible from outside?
Moreover, I installed elog on a linux virtual machine running with Virtual Box on Windows 10. Is it possible to open/edit my elog both from the linux VM and from the Windows system? without any accessibility from outside my PC?
Many many thanks
Sara

I found the linux IP address with ifconfig, type it on my windows machine with the port number, but it doesn't work, the error is "website not found"... what else could I try?

Sure, that's a feature :D
It was requested by several people that the view mode is stored in a cookie. So if you switch modes, it should be
persistent. If I now add additional default flags, people will have hard time to understand what this is all
about, since there might then be conflicting settings between the flags and the cookies. So for what exact purpose
do you want what you requested? Why does it bother you that you have to click "Summary" again to get the summary
view? Of course you can delete the local cookies and get the default behaviour (they are named [b]elmode[/b] and
[b]elattach[/b]), but that might be a bit cumbersome. |

| chris williams wrote: | | How can I have my list accept over 500 entries? I tried increasing the elogd.c (max_n_list)file as stated but the compiler gives me errors. Please help |
No way to get so many entries. If you just increase the value and recompile, you will get stack and heap overflows in the program. Why do you need so many entries? Can you explain? Maybe there is another way to achieve this. |
