| Louis de Leseleuc | louis.deleseleuc@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca | Request | Linux | 2.8.1 | Working Ubuntu 10.10 ELOG binaries | Hello,
Can anyone please send me, or publicly provide, working Ubuntu 10.10 binaries (64-bit) for ELOG?
I have compiled and installed the program. While the core functionalities are OK, I have run into irritating bugs in filtering and config editing that are not present in the online demo (but are in my local demo and logbook).
Hence I suspect compilation to be the cause.
For the curious:
- Saving the config within ELOG scrambles the elog.conf file
Theme = default
Comment = Louis's Lab Book
Attributes = Project, Type, Category, Subject
after saving becomes
Them = defaultt
Commnt = Louiss's Lab Book
Attribute = Prroject, Type, Category, Subject
- In the Find page, drop-down filters for attributes are ignored, but text is searched
- In the threaded view, Quick filters "dissociate" posts and replies, so that all rows are now in reverse chronological order
Cheers!
Louis

| Behdad D | behdad@inbox.com | Question | Windows | latest | Edit Mode - Icons | Hi all,
Is there a way to add more icons to the currently available icons when you are in the edit mode. For example instead of having this icon if I want to add a different icon that is not in the list.
The reason I ask is that I want for example to have an icon of a bug(for software bugs) or something different.
I looked in the elog's installation directory and I could find all of the available icons but couldn't see any place where I could modify the installation to allow me access to the extra icons.
Thanks in advance.
Behdad. |

Hadn't realised the standard was written that way.
What you propose seems fine to me.

What about defining an additional option "unspecified". So you have
Roptions attr = option1, option2, option3, none
Whenever you click on "none", the selection is removed from the other options. The HTML standard unfortunately does
not foresee radio buttons not being selected, so I would have to tweak it somehow to get exactly what you want. |

| David Pilgram | David.Pilgram@epost.org.uk | Request | Linux | 2.8.1-2353 | Wishlist: Roption | Hi Stefan,
Roptions, or Radio Buttons. Do you recall that on old
radios, if you gently pressed a button you could release whichever
button was already in, without selecting the new button; in other
words no selection made.
I'd like this same facility with elog. Now I know that it can be
done by (for example) in the config file preselecting one of the
selections on reply- or indeed one that does not exist to "clear" it,
but in this case that is not the route I'd want to take every time.
What I'd like is a (optional) button along with all the others, which
if you click on it, it will clear any selection for that particular Roption.
At present, once an Roption has been selected, it will persist in all
replies unless or until an alternative choice is made. Alternatively, if
no selection has been made, then there is no selection on the reply, either.
[Unless something in the elog.cfg file].
Regards,
David.

I prefer to use the elog.cfg for change my config.
But, How do you do for restar the elogd ? with Unregister ELOG server service ?
Anyway, thanks for yours answers !

When running as a windows service, you open a Command Prompt and enter:
net stop elogd
net start elogd
that will restart the service. |

Let me report when I see this behaviour.
If I use a text editor on elog.cfg directly, while elog is running, then when I save the file, the new elog.cfg is in place,
but the running elog is still running with the old configuration. You have to restart elog for it to read the new config file and
use the new settings.
This does not apply if you edit elog.cfg via the "config" option in the menu command, where elog will read the new elog.cfg
just after it has been saved.
The reason I sometimes edit the file directly is if I want to create a new logbook, but with all the configuration of another logbook,
and it's quickest to cut-and-paste, change the heading, create a new directory and restart elog.
This may be completely off what is being reported.

Minor changes you do externally to the elogd.cfg file are reflected immediately under Windows (under Linux you have to send a HUP signal to the process to re-read the configuration). But if you make major changes like adding a new logbook, you have to restart elogd.

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Bug report | All | 2.8.0 | Re: New entries are not visible from other logbooks based on the same logbook dir through Subdir |

Hi,
I have two logbooks based on the same data directory through "Subdir" option and when I add new entry in one logbook, then that entry is not visible in other logbook.
I suppose it is a bug in el_submit function, where I think the new message should be added to message index of every logbook based on the same data directory as the one, where the message was physically created.
There is a piece of code, which I think should do this automatically
/* if other logbook has same index, update pointers */
but it seems the other logbooks does not have the same index.
I'm new to elog and the sources are also new to me, so my guess to the ground of the problem may be wrong.
Let me know is this bug possible to fix in near future.
Best regards,
Jacek

Well, having two logbooks in the same subdirectory was initially a planned feature but really never worked. I re-visited this issue and made it working in the current SVN version. So the next release will contain the fix. |
