Hello,

 
I want to change the language to German. But it does not work.
 
Here my config:
 
Theme = default
Resource dir = D:\Elog
Language = german
 
Where is the problem? Or is it not possible to change the language in Windows?
 
Best regards,
Markus

You put the "Language = german" statement into the logbook section, but it has to be placed in the [global] section as written in the documentation. Unfortunately this section of the configuration file cannot be accessed through the web interface, so you have to edit the elogd.cfg file manually, which might require admin rights.

Viele Grüsse nach Reken,
Stefan

Danke, hat funktioniert.

Gruß Markus

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

Hi Donald,
yes, the import function gave me some headache in the past, too.
 
English (auto-detected) » English
 
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 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?

I've seen exact;y this effect, even though I have branching = 0 in my config file - so ordinarily no chance to have two
 replies to an entry.  My pointer aka mouse (I'm on Linux) is a bit dodgy, and sometimes disconnects/reconnects, so in effect gives a very fast double click.  I've always assumed that was the cause of the problem.  The two replies have incremental IDs, and both those IDs are listed in the "Reply to" header section of the entry.  I'm not sure how this overcomes the branching = 0 detail, though.

That is what I have assumed, but if others see this on occasion, perhaps it's got a different cause.

Sorry to bother you with such a simple question, but I am not an IT professional. We just received word that our IT department has plans to update our system to Windows 10 in 2018. Was wondering if our current version of ELOG was compatable with Windows 10? Thank You Very Much For Your Help.

I find that I can reply to a message ("original" message, if you will) without doing anything to the reply message (the "copy" of the original message, if you will).  If I then submit it, it gets saved as a new message, identical to the one I replied to.

I read through the options at the end of the docs.  I did not see anything about a way to suppress identical messages, or a way to force the user to make some kind of change to make the reply different from the original.
