You guessed right. I give it a try soon as I get a chance. Thanks.

I have had this installed for about two weeks now and it seems to be working
fine. I haven't seen any problems at all and none of the other users have
reported any.

Thanks.  This is very helpful.

icon5.gif   moving eLog to another computer, posted by Ekaterina Korobkina on Wed Sep 30 18:57:44 2020 

Our Unix server died, so we decided to move our old eLog to the new server, running Mac OSX. Elog version is earlier then 2013, I can not say

I read that on OSX  eLog must be intalled through "make" command

if I need to install eLog first, how to add all old information later?

  • you need to copy your logbooks into the "logbooks" directory.
  • you need to copy your elog.cfg logbook config file to the new elog folder and reference it at start-up (something like "elogd -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg ...")

Some people modify other stuff (CSS, java scripts) but if you had you would know what you did.

If the old ELOG was a 2.x version and the new is 3.x, then on the first start-up all logbook data files are copied into sub-folders for each year.
This is only done (automatically) during the first start-up, afterwards you can not use a 2.x version anymore (you won't want that anyway).

icon1.gif   [BUG] attach=1 and inline imgs, posted by Emiliano Gabrielli on Mon Jul 4 18:46:25 2005 elog-showattach_bug.jpg
There is a little difference in the way elog treats attachment's display in list and single message view...
It has to be, but some beaviours can be seen as bugs:

  • this is a real bug (see attachment).. if a file is referred inside the text (as shown in elcode docs) it is correctly not shown when in single message view, but it remains visible both inline and as attachment in the full list view
  • it would be nice for the user having, as in the single message view, the possibility of show or hide a single or all the attachements of a single message ..

I removed attachment displays for all views if the image is referenced inline. A potential problem is that it might confuse people. During submission (and later during editing), they see an attachment at the bottom, but the link at the botton is not visible in normal display. If they want to extract an inline image into a file, they have to know that there is a "Save image as..." in their browser. So let's see how many people complain.
icon5.gif   Cross references within ELOG, posted by Richard Hardwick on Wed Jan 30 10:28:50 2008 

How can I make a cross reference from one entry to another entry in the same ELOG logbook?

Have a look at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html, under the section "Adding stuff to a logbook". Basically you can write elog:<id>. At the moment, this works however only in the "plain" or "ELCode" encoding. For HTML encoding, I will add this functionality soon.
