| Fergus Lynch | flynch@alternativenetworks.com | Request | | ELOG V2.6. | Add date and time stamp to file upload |
Hi,
Been using ELOG for a couple of years now and I am very impressed with its functionality.
I would like to request a new feature - add date and time stamp to file upload. We use ELOG (amongst other things!) as a change log and this would really allow allow more accurate records to be kept. For instance we upload router config files (to record changes)and having the exact upload date would be a big enhancement, especially when there are a lot of attachments.
Many Thanks in Advance

There is already a time and a date stamp. If you look in the logbook directory, you see attachments preceded with the date and time when they were submitted. You can see this date/time when you click on the attachment, such as in
http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Config+Examples/040519_000348/elogd.cfg
where you will see it even in the URL (May 19th, 2004, 0:03:48) in the above case. I agree that this is not so obvious. If you make a proposal where this date/time should be displayed, I can easily add it. |
Hi, I think this would be great new functionality, so I would propose the date/time stamp for an uploaded file was placed just after the file size text that appears at the far right hand side of all attachments.
Many Thanks

| Fergus Lynch | flynch@alternativenetworks.com | Question | Windows | V2.7.1-200 | Converting dates from an Excel import into ELOG |
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

| Finn Junker | fj@tvis.net | Question | Windows | 3.14 | Unwanted double entries eg. double clicking submit button |
I'm having a minor issue that were getting double entries due to the user is using the "submit" button more than once.
I seems like when there is a lag either on the machine or on the network it is possible to tap the "submit" button more than once resulting i a double or triple entry containing the same text and a almost identical timestamp.
Is there a way to aviod this?, my "solution" so far has been to select the entries and manually delete them. I'm using Elog version 3.14
Kind Regards Finn |

Thank your very much for your work on this - as i mentioned this is a minor issue.
Kind Regards Finn

"I committed" means that the change is sent to the GIT repository. People who compile from the source code can pull and compile immediately. Windows users have to wait until I do the next release. I'm developing on a Mac and have to boot a special (old) Windows machine to compile the .exe which each time takes me about one hour including documenation updates, changelog updates, upload of zip files etc. Since my main job is heading a research group, I only can devote this hour once in a while, depending on my work load. Sometime even the weekends are too short.

I'm also happy to see this change implemented as we've had to deal with the same issue at times as well. Will this change be incorporated into the latest version (314-2, aka elog-latest.exe), or will there be a new version release (that is not in Changelog yet)? If so, can you give any ETA on this new code availability?
Also I noticed that the Elog Home page still says "Current version is: 3.1.2". I assume that only means it hasn't been updated, not that it means it's the current STABLE version and subsequent releases are beta -- please correct me if I'm wrong. I just want to make sure I understand how the versions and releases work.
Endless thanks for this product and all your work Stefan.

I just committed some code which disables the "Submit" button after the first click and replaces the text with "Please wait...". So double submits should not be possible any more.

I too have this as an occasional issue, although in my case due to a dodgy pointer. I too manually delete the entries.
Interestingly, it gives double entries - and thus the start of a branch - even in logbooks were branches are not allowed.

| Finn Junker | fj@tvis.net | Question | Linux | Windows | 3.1.3 | Re: Pinned entry |
Hello Stefan
Works great and very usefull - but not when you use reverse sort = 1?.
Is there a way to get both. Pinned first and then the rest i reversed order (highest ID on page 1)
Kind Regards Finn

This is not directly possible, but you can configure it with a trick. Create an attribute "pinned", make it of type "boolean", and set the start page such that it sorts using the "pinned" attribute:
Atributes = ..., Pinned
Options Pinned = boolean
Start page = ?rsort=Pinned
This move all entries where "Pinned" is true to the top of the list.

Hi everybody,
sorry if this question has already been posed (I did a quick search but I didn't found anything): elog sorts entry by ID, I wonder if it is possible to pin an entry in order to be always on top of the page independently on its ID.
Thanks
Giuseppe

My Configuration looks like this but dosn't work:
Attributes = Bruger, Station, Emne, Status, PM5
