Hi,
it is possible to import the file *.log of Elog towards another Elog?
thank you
Bob


There are three methods:

  • Copy over the *.log files from one Elog to the other. Make sure not to have entries with the same ID twice then.
  • Set-up mirroring between two servers. This ensures a 1:1 copy of the server
  • Export entries in CSV format (comma-separated-values) via 'Find', 'Mode = CSV', and do a 'CSV import' on the other side.

Dear all,

I use the freemail from provider Web.de and find that its web-email editor ist very nice.
All formated text will be displayed in the right way, WYSIWYG.

Has sombody an idea, how to improve the Elog like this?

Best regards


Well, all this is possible with ELCode tags, as you can see below. The advantage is that you can enter these tags with any browser, even with a text based browser. Have you tried to use the web.de page with a non-IE browser like Firefox? It doesn't work! They use very special JavaScript and AJAX with locks you to IE. And this is not the philosophy of ELOG. You should be able to do everything, even if JavaScript is switched off.

Dear BIG RED Smile,

Here is the bulleting:

  • First line
  • Second line
  • third line
Line numbering with under line:

  1. First line
  2. Second line
  3. Third line

thanks, It works but the order "?sort" seems to works only in summary view (attachment 1) and not in threaded (attachement 2) view.
Any idea?


Two ideas. First, you have following URL:
.../page?rsort=Date+Evenement

but your attribute is "Evenement" (without "Date"). Can you check that?

Second: In threaded mode, only the "thread heads" are sorted. If an entry has one or more replies, it does not make sense to tear apart these replies because of sorting, so threads are always kept together, independent of their attributes.

Log entries sort ok when I click the ID or Date column title but not my custom attributes column headers???
Any suggestions?


Indeed that was a bug, thanks for reporting it. I fixed it in the intermediate release which you can download at

Very good idea. The horizontal line
is already implemented via [LINE] and the anchor tag will soon follow.

This would be useful for long log messages in order to provide a table of contents and divide them into clear sections. If this support already exists, I'm afraid it is not obvious to me how to access it in ELCODE. If it does not yet exist, would you consider a patch for it?

As a related issue, to support <a name> usefully, it will also be necessary for ELCODE to support things like [url=#tag], which it currently converts to <a href = "http:///#tag"> instead the expected result of <a href = "#tag">.


I implemented anchor tags. You can write something like

[ANCHOR]top[/ANCHOR]

and you can then reference it either by directly entering

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/2223#top

or by entering simply

elog:2223#top

To make your table of contents, you can put a complete URL tag like

[URL=http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/2223#top]Goto top[/URL]

or inside the same entry simply

[URL=#top]Goto top[/URL]

which will be shown as

Goto top

I have added these link again at the bottom of this entry so you can try it with this entry directly.

  2224   Fri Apr 27 14:06:34 2007 Idea Stefan Rittstefan.ritt@psi.chInfoAllSVN 1857+How to make a table of contents
For those people who have not fully understood the discussion of elog:2218, here is an example table of contents.





First Chapter

The table of contents consists of a set of [url] tags like this:

[url=#first]First chapter[/url]
[url=#second]Second chapter[/url]
[url=#thirs]Third chapter[/url]


Then the chapter header contains a tag like this:

[ANCHOR]first[/ANCHOR]

to which the browser ups if you click the corresponding entry in the table of contents.

... empty lines to full up some space ...

Second chapter

You should jump here if you click on Second chapter at the table of contents.

Third chapter

You should jump here if you click on Third chapter at the table of contents.

The location of top.html has been changed from the ELOG root down into the loogbook directory. If you want to keep it in the original location, you have to specify the full path. See the documentation for where to put the file for "Top text".
