Dear elog community,

I wonder whether there is a python3 api or lib to generate and append entries (and attachments) to the logbook using scripts.
However, so far I did not find anything...

At the moment I am thinking about wrapping the "elog" command line tool.

Is there something usable already out there?

Thanks and regards
Markus

Thanks Andreas!
This is more or less exactly what I was looking for...

Regards
Markus

I have defined a new field called "Record Date" to accept the dates from a
previous logging system. I am not too concerned with the timestamp
associated with these old imported entries. But for new entries...
There is no way I am able enter/edit the time into my new field. They all
show as having a time of 12:00. What am I doing wrong? Here is a portion of
my config

-----------------------------------------------------------

Attributes =   Record Date, Spacecraft, Author, SubSystem, Title

Required Attributes = Record Date, Spacecraft, Author, SubSystem, Title

Type Record Date = date
Time format = %A, %d %B, %Y, %H:%M
Date format = %A, %d %B, %Y, %H:%M

Preset Record date = $date
List Display = Record date, Spacecraft, Author, SubSystem, Title
Start page = ?rsort=Record date

Entries per page = 100
Message Height = 15
Page Title = ELOG - $title
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Spacecraft, SubSystem, Author

message comment = "Please make your log entry in the box BELOW."
Attachment Comment = "Please upload your attachment in the box BELOW."

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Help, Download, Last
Day, Move to, Copy to


Subst Author = $long_name from $remote_host
Subst Email = $user_email

RSS Title = $Title, by $author on $Record Date

Guest menu commands = Find, Last 10, Login, Help
Guest Find Menu commands = Find, Last 10, Login, Help

I would like to increase the spacing between 'MOptions' choices. I have
created a new theme and have been playing with the CSS stylesheet. But can't
find how to increase this spacing. Having lots of fun otherwise!

Tks,

mark

Stefan,

Oh. OK. I will keep tuned. It would be quite useful to have.
