Searching Logbooks, posted by David Pilgram on Thu Sep 2 12:40:03 2010

Hi Stefan,
I'm starting to get a similar problem to Lance's ("SQL Database"). Searching is beginning to take time.
In searching, I either can search one logbook (still relatively quick), or all of them.
I have my logbooks in groups, and often I know which group I want to search, and it would make the searching
much quicker were the search confined to just that group. I don't think I've missed anything in the
documentation on this matter.
If not a change to the elog program, is there another way of (say) arranging the logbooks that will achieve this? |

You can't do that right now. I would have to extend the functionality to allow searching in groups. Also have a look
at https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/66901. Maybe that helps a bit in meantime. |

Hi Stefan,
I was rather hoping that was *not* going to be your answer.
I much prefer the plain ascii file format, for it allows me to edit it for "mistakes" post submission,
shall we say.

| 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.
Best regards,

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:
