Sure such a think can be implemented, but I have no time right now to do so. I will put it on the wish list.

Hi guys,

Is there any simple way to export the ELOG data in a more readable way, except copying the .log files????

Thank You in advance,

Urian.

 

Click on Find, then select Export to: ..., then click Search.  I know it's a bit hidden, but this way one can restrict the subset of entries to be exported.

I attempted to remove the text editor (like you did in "Demo of database-like elog") using  "Show text = 0".

In both your Demo and my logbook when you hit  "New"  - Explorer generates the folowing error message

        Error: The Textarea with id or name set to "text" was not found.

Is there a solution or do we just live with it.

Thanks,    Mike

 

Thanks for reporting that bug. I fixed it in SVN revision 2188, and the fix will be contained in the next release.

 but that method does not export all the data, only the subject lines and category etc.

it does not export the body of the threads.

 

The CSV option does not export the body, since in CSV, only single line items are allowed. But both the XML and the RAW option exports also the body text.

Sorry to bother you. I could see in past Forum entries that the question of  "Simple Math" has come up before, although the answers were not all that simple.

Can you do simple math (i.e. attribute A + attribute B = attribute C) in ELOG ?

Thank you for putting up with my questions.

Mike

 

No, you can't. The only way is to export a logbook to CSV, then import it in a spreadsheet program, then do the math there.

Actually your combination of "bottom text" with "protect selection page" caused the trouble. If fixed the bug in revision 2189.

How do you allow users to change password for a given logbook when the user keeps getting prompted for admin password to enter the change password feature?

I have Allow password change = 1 set global and at each logbook hoping that would work.

It allows them to change the password when and only when the user gets past the admin login when clicking CONFIG.

help

 

 

 Thats what we get for having two people working on the install and configuration.  LOL

When first creating and setting up the configs, we had  Admin Password = xxxxx  entered in each logbook config.  Once we created a password list we no longer needed that entry.

This was why each user who had login credentials was being asked to provide the admin password when trying to change their password. 

 

I didn't get your point completely, so is this issue now resolved?

Thank you

Can you give me some more information? Can you see attachments in the Demo Logbook like here ? What about other browsers? Can you try to start elogd without keep-alives (using the "-k" flag)?

 

 Hi. I have a same problem... It works well with other browsers, like firefox and internet explorer, but not with safari (with and without keep-alives). 

The demo logbook in the link works fine with safari, though. 

Thanks.

Tsuguo

 

Thanks for reporting this bug. I finally found the reason and fixed it in revision 2191. I made a new release 2.7.6 which contains all the collected bug fixes from the last few months.
