Hi Stefan,
yes, I know that a plain text "elog:1" works in the HTML editor, too.
But if you put "elog:1" in the URL field of the link dialog, then ELOG screws up: you get the text
and the link points to link type "URL", protocol "<other>", URL "1".
Or more precisely, the HTML source looks like the following:
   <a href="1">elog.1</a>&quot;&gt;<a href="1">elog.1</a>
(I've replaced ":" by "." here in the source, to avoid another iteration of links by ELOG).
That is not what I would have expected:
either it should have been remained unchanged, or it should point to the right URL of the entry elog:1 (the latter case preferred :-).
 
Cheers, Andreas

Right, spaces won't work. But others work. Andreas, if you just put elog:1 without any link etc. just as plain text, it will be converted automatically into a link.

A workaround is to explicitly specify a link to an elog entry. Press the link button from the editor toolbar, enter a name and copy the full URL from the browser address bar, like here: https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68129. If you switch to "Source" (Top left editor toolbar, you can changed the link name manually, like here.

I can confirm this bug.

But I don't think this has to work as you've described it, when using the HTML editor: if you use HTML, you can use the link feature of the editor.
But that link feature does currently not work at all with internal elog references, not even a simple elog:1">elog:1 (as you can see here). I suppose there is some more work to do for Stefan on that ;-)
 
Cheers, Andreas

Hey,

the syntax for creating links to other elog entries has a small issue in the HTML editor. The link will not be created properly if there are whitespaces in the name of the logbook. Using ELCode (or in a simple attribute field) the whitespaces can be replaced by "+", but this does not work in the HTML editor. The work-around would be to use ELCode mark-up instead of HTML.

Example 1 (this should work): elog:Contributions/47

Example 2 (this will not work): elog:Config+Examples/11

Example 3 (will also not work): elog:Config%20Examples/11

Is there a way to open a form or table when clicking on New rather than going to a text field? Thanks, TS!

 

 The HTML editor contains a table editor such as this:

this is
a table
   

Just click on the menu with the little table icon Capture018.png

Hi Terry,
it is not exactly clear to me what you want.
You can define many different types of attributes to an entry.
Like this logbook has "Icon", "Author", "Author Email", "Category", ...
That automatically creates a form for the input.
Or you can have some pre-filled text in the text area, like a pre-defined table.
E.g. with the following line:
Preset Text = input-form.html
Every new entry will now contain the content of the file input-form.html
which could be some table or list, ...

 Thank you very much for your replies Stefan and Andreas!

I've played with the Preset Text = input-form.html however when I open a new form it just has text in there stating "input-form.html. I feel like I'm missing a way for the Configuration to find my html file.

I feel like I am close but I'm missing one piece of data. Here is what I'd like to have, when I click "New" I'd like this table to be automatically inserted in the body.

If you see only the file name it means that elogd cannot find the file, it's probably in the wrong directory. Have you put it into the "logbooks" directory? Like c:\Program Files\ELOG\logbooks\

I (hopefully) fixed that bug. The fix will be included in 2.6.0-beta4.

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.
