Hello

I have the following in elog.cfg :

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server, Subject ,  Change Window Begin , Change Window End
List display = ID,Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server,  Subject , 
Change Window Begin , Change Window End

Type Change Window Begin = datetime
Type Change Window End = datetime

So I want to be able to give a start and end date to the user.  However : If I open a find/Search I see this :

  Clipboard01.jpg

There are for each  Change Window <item>   we get  Start: and End: time entries. Was expecting only one date entrie .

Why is this ? Seems to be a feature of datetime  or am i missing something.

 

 

Right, that's a feature. Many people want to specify a range when doing a query on a date. Like Change Window Begin after Jan 1st, 2009 and before Jan 5th, 2009. If you just want a single date, set both Start: and End: to the same date, or actually the End: to Start+1 Day to cover all 24 hours of the Start: date. Otherwise when you have data + time, you would have to match the exact second to retrieve a certain entry. So having a range there is more powerful.

What I do is to use an editor with automatic wrapping functions, like the free PSPad editor. It nicely wraps line and indicates that:



Hmmm... I have to use vi and was hoping an \ at the end of the line (before the LF) would be supported.


Use a real editor Wink

I seem to remember that Emacs can be configured for automatic line wrapping.

Hello

I have a config file  :

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server,HPSD_ID, Cust_ID ,Subject ,  Change Window
; which fields will be shown !!
List display = ID,Author, Category, Customer, server, HPSD_ID, Cust_ID,Subject ,  Change Window

Type Change Window  = datetime
# Type Change Window End = datetime
Options Category = Network , Server ,
Options Customer = Arag{A}, Frieslandbank{B}, Super de Boer{C}, NRE{D}

{A} Options server = arag-lin1,arag-lin2,arag-lin3,arag-lin4, arag-lin5, arag-lin6, arag-lin7
{B} Options server = rc1upas02, rc1upas22,rc1upas03,rc1upas04,rc1uptsm01,rc1upas07,rc1upas08
{C} Options server = xia61031,xia61032 ,xia61033,xia61034,xia61035,xia61036,xia61037,xia61038,xia61039,xia61040,xia61032 ,xia61033,xia61034,xia61035,xia61036,xia61037,xia61038,xia61039,xia61040
{D} Options server = server27,server32,server34 ,server37,server38,server40
Extendable options = Category , Customer,server
Required Attributes = server , customer, Subject, Change window Begin , Change Window End
 

This works OK, However when I change the {A} Options  to {A} Moptions in the above code i get an error which tells me that a required field is not selected. So, with the pull down it works, with Moptions ( select boxes )  it will say that a required field is not selected.  Any hints ?

regards Arno

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it in SVN revisoin 2213.

A few days after I create entries in my logbooks, they are being deleted. Has this happened to anyone before?

Never as far as I know. Try to do logging on your elog server ("Log file = ..."), then you will see all write/delete accesses. So if someone deletes your entries, you will see a trace.

We are currently having problems with Elog, I never had a problem installing it before but with my last 3 install I can't get it to work. We are running under Windows XP, the installation works perfectly but when I try to use the shortcut pointing to the localhost 8080, I get an error page from Internet Explorer telling me that the server cannot be found. I've rebootied the computer to make sure the server was running but still the same problem. Is there a basic requirement I should look at (Dotnet versionX or specific DLL required)?

No, there is no Dotnet or DLL required. Just start the ELOG server manually by clickin on Start/Programs/ELOG Server/Start ELOG server manually and watch if you can spot any error. One person reported that downloading again the package solved a similar problem.

This must be related to the unknown cookie "style". There was some work recently on elog to make it robust against unknonw cookies. The latest modification was on version 2192, and you probably have an older version. I made a release elog276-2.exe for you. Try it and let me know. You can also just delete your cookies in Firefor and it should be fine, but it's better not being able to crash elog.

Sure I will try, but I cannot find the version you are talking about in the download section. Should I find it there or any other place? Thanks for quick feedback

It's here

Yes, this is the right one, it searches all entries to have the same date than the current one, and then looks for the 
largest index which will be stored in old_index and later incremented by one. I committed your patch to the 
repository. Thanks a lot.
