Hello Kay,

I had to look it up in the source code: yes, you are right, it is hard-coded in elogd.h

You can of course change the limit and recompile.

As an alternative, you could have sub-menus with less than 100 entries  (disclaimer: the following is untested example):

Attributes = author_range, author, ...
options author_range = A-K{1}, L-Z{2}
{1} options author = Andi, Bob, Camilla, Dennis, ..., Kay
{2} options author = Lily, Max, Norbert, Oscar, ..., Zeta

Cheers

Hello Andreas,

thanks a lot for your quick reply - both options are valid and working. For simplicity (the author list is generated automatically from a shell script) I opted for the first one.

Best regards,

Kay

I am handling several ELOGs for medium-sized collaborations (scientific experiments) with a large number of authors (~250) and chose to have single-user access and entries for every author - in the config file, the "Options Author"-List contains ~150 name for now.

However, the Author drop-down menu stops after ~100 names - is that a ELOG-webserver hard limit? I checked there is nothing strange in the author names following (no strange character, etc.).

I tested it on Firefox, Chrome, Safari - it does not seem to be a browser issue.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

 Hi

I just want to know if there is a way to upload a bunch of images at once. I need to upload ~50 images per day and of course it is really tedious. 

Thanks!!

The "standard" HTML protocol does not allow multiple selection of images. You can use the "elog" command-line utility to upload images from the terminal window. We plan in the summer this year a switch to HTML5, which does allow upload of multiple images plus a drag-and-drop functionality.

Hi

 

I've written a powershell script parse a html table that contains old log book data that i would like to import to a elog book.  I've attached a example of the output.

When i attempt a import i get this error

"XML file does not contain <ENCODING> element"

The file does contain an encoding for utf-8  I've tried converting the xml to ANSI and ISO-8859-1 encodings but i get the same error.

is there something obvious that I'm missing?

here is the config of the log book:

 

[WLTST]
Theme = default
Comment = Test Logbook
Attributes = Author, Object, Action
Comment Author = Username
Comment Action = What
Comment Text = Why
Required Attributes = Author, Object, Action, Text
Page Title = Test Logbook
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type

Hi Donald,
yes, the import function gave me some headache in the past, too.

Here it appears that <ENCODING> </ENCODING> became somehow mandatory. But it has a different meaning then what you expect: it is the type of code in the text field, one out of HTML, ELCode or plain.
(Stefan: is this needed to be mandatory? Couldn't you just have some default ?)
In your case: you can just add the XML code "<ENCODING> </ENCODING>" before the <TEXT> token.
My problems were always related to the date format: elogd is very restrictive about what date format it is accepting. that will be your next pproblem ;-)

I hope this helps.

 Hi Andreas

That worked,  thank you so much. now I'm on to a new error. 

Now every time i try to do the import it crashed the elogd. 

OS is windows server 2008 R2.  I have the elogd installed as a service.

here is the even log:

Faulting application name: elogd.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51248707
Faulting module name: elogd.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51248707

Faulting module path: D:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\elogd.exe
Report Id: defc3f39-a3cb-11e3-9dd5-005056954c86

I have attached the Data file I'm using to generate the fault every time.  same config as before.   Any Ideas?
