I can confirm this bug in V2.9.2. Also after submitting the entry, the orginal image is being displayed, with no rotation, resizing etc...

I've attached a patch to elogd.c from elog-2.9.2-2081 that adds a third CVS mode 'CSV (";" separated) + Text'.
(This string has not yet been added to the localization.)
As far as I've tested it works fine to import the text to OpenOffice and EXCEL, even with multiple text lines and HTML code in the text.
Of course the spreadsheet programs just display the HTML source.
 
Stefan, do you think this should be added to the official branch?

Hi Jim, can you confirm that this works for you? If so, I'm willing to incorporate the patch into the distribution. 

 Has this been added yet?

I don't have the means to create an executable for Windows, if someone does I can give it a try...it sounds/looks like it will work.

Thanks!

Hi Jim, I've incorporated the patch to our production server about a week ago.
I've agreed with Stefan that he'll add it, when it proved to run stable for a while.
Until now it appears to work fine. I think Stefan will add it to the distribution soon.
But I won't touch any Windows systems, you'll need to wait for someone else to compile it for you.
Maybe some skilled Windows user want to give it a try: i've attached the changes in the elogd.c file from v2.9.2-2481,
the modified file can be currently downloaded from http://people.web.psi.ch/luedeke/public/tmp/elogd.c

Hi Scott,

yes, every user can export entries using the "find" command.
Just select the export format in the first line

I often use the XML Format, but CSV is fine if you just want to import the entries to some spreadsheet program.

I was shocked to find out that this feature has not yet made it into the documentation?!? But it is that simple to use that there is not much to document.

There is even an "Import" command, to reimport entries from a file. But this is tricky to use: if you have fields of type date or datetime, then you have to convert those fields in the proper format.

I tried EXPORTING logbooks as .csv but have not been fully successful.  Elog seems to only export the data entered for various fields with the exception of the text field.

Here is an example export from my logbook (used to track simulator problems), I would like to also export the TEXT field so it can be used by my managers in excel...but as you can see there is no entry for "TEXT" fields...

Thanks in advance!

Thanks very much.

It is not clear to me, what you mean by "activate auto-save".
Do you mean that you want to have the typed in data in your forms temporarily saved, to be restored e.g. after a crash of the browser?
This functionality has to be provided by the browser. I use the add-on "Lazarus: form recovery" for firefox, that works fine for me.

Great that you pointed out this possibility. I saw that Lazarus Form Recovery is even available for Google Chrome and it works fine. It however works only for the "EL Code" and "plain" encodings. In the "HTML" edit box it does not work (probably some collision with the FCKEditor). If anybody has an idea about this, please post it.

/Stefan 

Hi Stefan,

that reminds me of something: you've wanted to upgrade from the obsolete FCKEditor to the successor CKEditor. That would allow to use the cool editor for math formulas: http://www.fmath.info/plugins/CKEditor/demo.jsp

 Hi there :)

I'm having a problem with the e-mail notification on my installation of elog. I'm testing the attachment upload with images, and it seems to work seamlessly. However upon posting, the e-mail notification sends a null attachment, instead of the image I would expect.

Is there an error log I can check for this? I started the elog process without the daemon option, but I can't see any error coming up.

Cheers,
 

Some people reported that there is a problem if you don't have ImageMagick installed. So please install that package and try again.
