Passing html code for table using elog command, posted by Remington Tyler Thornton on Thu May 22 21:39:55 2014

Hey,
I am testing out automated entries using elog on the command line. The file I pass has html code for a table; the resulting entry shows the html
code for the table instead of generating the table. Is there a way to make elog parse the code to show a formatted table? |

I've created an elog where users can then enter links to a file: for example they would enter:
<a href="file:///M:/Data/Inspection%20Reports/ABC123.doc">ABC123</a>
If they are running this on their desktops where everyones M drive is mapped to the same location, not a problem, the file opens perfectly. |

Linking to external files via "file:///..." is a bad idea, since only a pointer is stored in the elog. So if someone puts somehing on M: and
the drive is removed, the file is physically gone. No way to retrieve it. Instead of puttting links to files, users should get trained to ATTACH the files
to elog cntries (V3 of elog has a "Drop attachments here..." section. Only then the files are physically transferred into elog and accessible |

Hi Stefan
Unfortunately this would become impractical for us as many of the test data files which we'd need to link too are Gb's in size, some
over 100Gb, hence only the files needed to do a say an inspection of the equipment would be copied onto memory sticks. Currently we use an excel speadsheet |

If a file is on a memorystick and the memorystick is gone, how could elog bring it back? What you ask for is magic, sorry for that. Also if you move
files outiside elog from one folder (drive) to anohter. How shoudl elog keep track of these files if they are outside? If your colleague moves some piece
of equipment from A to B, without telling you, how can you guess where B is? |

Hi Terry,
I'm not really sure I understand the question; I'll try to rephrase how I understood it.
You have loads of measurement
data. All this data is stored not in ELOG but in a common drive M:.
When people work off-site, they copy the ELOG data and all the measurement |

Hi Stefan,
Obviously it's not magic but my inability to explain. I've attached a quick jpg of the file structure we use. So for every project we
just repeat the file structure. It then becomes a browser based interface for our engineers, inspectors, project managers etc. so via the network they |
