Yes, there is a new feature called record splitting which causes the browser to send the "G" of the "GET ..." in a dedicated TCP package. This started in FF10, Chrome 17, and it will come in others as well. It only affects direct SSL connections (SSL=1). I fixed the bug in SVN revision #2435. Please update also MXML to revision #73. Let's hope that surprises like that will not happen too often.

In the summary view, it seems that the text is truncated at the first "<" character. See https://lblogbook.cern.ch/Shift/48812 for a simple entry, then use the 'list' command to see that only a very small part is displayed.

That's a feature

In the summary view, I cannot use any HTML code, since it will screw up the table layout. Therefore elog searches for any "<" and ">" pairs and removes the text in between. In principle one could do a better job, but I do not want to write a complete HTML interpreter just for that purpose.

Saving, using Submit sees recently updated fields cleared after hitting SUBMIT.

MOre significantly this then leads to a proliferation of instances of the same record being generated in the logfile and consequently on the logbook.

Has anybody a fix or advice on this?

I have not heard of that problem before.

The key to fix is to reproduce it, then teach me how to reproduce it. Only errors I can reproduce on my computer I am able to fix.

 Well, this is a choice. But if the encoding of the entry is 'plain', you could just avoid checking for embeded HTML. We use the summary view constantly for our main experiment logbook. Thanks anyway.

Ok, I fixed that in revision 2442.

Hi All,

Just a quick message in the hope of helping other find an answer to the question: How to reach the RSS Feed???
I spend hours trying to find out what the correct URL is to reach the feed. The documentation on this is non-existent - at least we could't find this anywhere in the docs.


Answer: Just add elog.rdf at the end of the URL of the logbook!!
eg. http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/elog.rdf

Actually the browser should show an RSS icon to help you subscribing to it. In Firefox 3 that was at least the case. Now they removed it. See here for a fix:

For other browsers it might be similar.

Is there a way to create a "front page" or "table of contents" for a logbook?

While chronological entries are good and what elog was designed for, I find myself wanting a page to summarize important things
and/or link to important files that are somewhere in that logbook.  And, I would like to use the features of the elog editor to do (not just point
to another www page that points to the various elog entries).  For example, in an analysis logbook, you would like to have one page that
may summarize latest on analysis and point to best/latest plot/drawing of something and not have to re-search for it every time.

I think that start page with cmd to go to entry 1 (how do I do that?) may work.  Then I just keep editing entry 1 to point to latest info or
entries.  Will this work?  Will I run into a size limitiation if I attach too many files to that?   Is there a better way?

One could imaging using a wiki to do this, however, I never seem to get to updating our wikis... maybe I should just figure how to
get elog to do it.

Thanks.

Well, if you never get to update your wiki, you will you get to update your summary page? As you know there is no free lunch.

For my analysis logbooks, I do it such that I create an arbitrary entry in the logbook, where I put references to other entries. Using the syntax "elog:<id>" this is very simple like here: elog:67222. Then I put a link to that special page in my browser bookmarks. This puts me one mouse click away from accessing this page. You can link to other elog pages but also to page attachments this way, so no need to put too many attachments into a single page, although there is no limit on that.

Best regards,
Stefan

I've just tested with Firefox, Chromium and IE, but no such icon appears. And for me this icon doesn't really help at all, as I'm using the feed to parse the logs

Besides, there is no mention of this Addon in the documentation, so the problem is still there: there is no easy way to find the feed URL.


Looks like the icon has disappeared in current versions of the browsers. I added a paragraph to the description:
