Hello Stephan,

the fckeditor is not running.

I have installed elog 2.7.7 rev. 2246 on windows xp.

I have not changed the default config after the installation:

Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type

 

I have started the elog server manually to see if the editor will start, below you will find the output:

elogd 2.7.7 built Jul 31 2009, 13:01:20 revision 2246
Indexing logbooks ... done
Server listening on port 8080 ...

 

How can I activate the editor?

 

Thanks,

 

 



 

 

 

I have found the problem:

the fckeditor folder contains not all necessary files after installation of Elog version 2.7.7.

I have downloaded the fckeditior manually from:

http://www.fckeditor.net/.

and replaced the faulty one with the new one.

Now the editor is running fine and I see the menu bar when I choose Encoding HTML:

elogd 2.7.7 built Jul 31 2009, 13:01:20 revision 2246
FCKedit detected
Indexing logbooks ... done
Server listening on port 8080 ...

 

Stefan could you please ckeck if some files are missing in the fckeditor folder within the elog version 2.7.7 rev. 2246.

 

Thanks

I have "Summary lines = 1" in the config file. The first line visualized in the summary list, in the Text column, is truncated. I'm using the default style.

Which is the way to set the number of character displayed?

I added a new parameter

Summary line length = x

for you. This is included in SVN revision 2262 (if you can compile it yourself) and will be contained in the next release.

I have already tested your patch backporting the change to 2.7.7.1. It works like a charm.

Thank you very much!

 Ah, now this is humorous, when the client first came to me, that was almost exactly the work around I gave him, open it, CTRL-A to highlight it all, CTRL-C to copy it, Move to the excel spreadsheet, CTRL-V to paste it into Excel. Select Data, Text to Columns, and you have an Excel Spreadsheet.   They wanted me to post the change in function anyway, though I told Vamsi, "just watch, someone will post the same workaround that I already gave to the clients".  So you see why I find it amusing.  I would say Great Minds Think Alike, but that would be giving myself a bit too much credit (grin).  First, thank you for proving me right on my prediction and if you should happen to make a change that would get around this SSL change in behavior, it would make a group of manufacturing types that are not quite as comfortable with computers as we are, very happy.   Please let us know.

I can easily remove the "no-cache" from the header, but as I wrote you, people can then shoot themselves into the foot by getting an old document, and I guess they become even less happy then. So you tell me which way you prefer. 

 Trust me, I don't want them getting old data either.. that would be a nightmare..

of course, the little voice at the back of my head (note, not IN the back of my head) has offered up this tidbit for you to consider.

Stefan, would it be possible to make the following change so that the document is not cached and at the same time it is possible to save it.

The change would entail replacing the "Pragma: no-cache" directive with an "Expires: " <HTTP-date> where <HTTP-date> is the same as Date header value. Please see section 14.21 of http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html

Hopefully there are no other side effects to this change.

Hi,

I am using the # character to generate automatically incrementing numbers for new messages.

My issue is that # is evaluated when you hit "New" but E-log is only aware of the new value being used when you hit "Submit".

So, two E-logs can have the same value substituted for # if two E-logs are being edited in parallel.

Maybe someone has a solution to this ?

Soren Poulsen

 

 

The solution is to use "Subst" instead of "Preset".

 This is not really resolved, since "Subst" creates a new number on both "New" and "Reply". I would like "Subst" to create a new number only on "New" and preserve this number through replies throughout the thread. I would like to be able to say "Subst thread = #" to make a new number for the thread and combine it with "Subst on reply thread = $thread" to preserve the number on replies, but this does not work. Maybe someone has already done this ?

Soren

 This can be solved with something like "Subst <attr> = $shell(cmd...) where cmd calculates a new value of attr, as a function of #, when attr does not already have a value. This thread is closed.

I installed ELOG on a Linux server (CentOS 5.2) and a WinXP laptop.

- If I set one to ssl and the other non-ssl, synchronization fails with "Remote server is not an ELOG server"

Is anyone synchronizing or mirroring two ELOG servers with SSL? When either or both servers are set to use SSL, I can use either site. but I can't synchronize.

 

Synchronization with SSL does not yet work. I have to find some time to implement it. Since you are already the second one mentioning this, it slipped higher on my to-do list  

 Count me also in for the to-do list climbing :-D

Hello,

A CSV file is by definition one line per entry. So if you have several lines in your Text Field, how will you be able to squeeze this into one line?

Alternatively you can export to XML, which contains the Text Field, then do a manual conversion to something else.
