I am trying to import a CSV file in to a logbook. The Attributes seem to import fine but it kicks out the first 2 columns of data and shifts the data over to the left by 2 columns. Has anyone tried to do this?

The CSV file must be wrongly formatted. But I don't see it I can't tell you what's wrong.

Here is an example of the CSV I am trying to import.

Attachment 1: _Universal_SIM_tracker-test.csv

SIM #,Mobile #,Type,Activated,Supported in S/W,Location,Login,Administration ,Access Point Name (APN),Username/password

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.

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.

I just checked with Chromium and can see the icon:

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

Re: create "front page" for a logbook

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
