Is it possible to create a drop down menu for the last 3 days of log entries. Currently we have the last day, month, 3 month, etc.

Reason being, after a weekend most people would like to view the log entries for the last three days. Can anyone help me out here?

Hi again,

I was wondering if one could use a conditional statement on an IOption attribute? Indeed i try to do a visual logbook (a green check for OK result, a red cross for NOK result), unfortunately i cannot refer to the attributes value for conditional test, e.g:

IOptions Status= "Delete-icon.png" {1}, "Check-icon.png"{2}
Icon comment Delete-icon.png = Failed
Icon comment Check-icon.png = OK

{1} Show Attribute Edit = Attribute1, Attribute2

Thread Icon = Status

Attribute1 and 2 do not have any sense if the result was successful,

ELOG interprets the {1} and {2} as being part of the icon name!

thanks again for your help

Hi,

I have been trying to get the display mode into threaded by default, it does not work on any of my logbooks. I saw related threads in this forum but none gave me a solution (unless the 2.7.8-2282 is available for download).

Here is a simple example which i can not get working.

thanks for your help

Unfortunately not to my knowledge. The underlying editor FCKEdit has however certain styles etc., and one might maybe be able to tweak that, but I never figured out how.  

Hi,

is there a way to set default preferences for text in entry text window, as regards : font type, font size, line spacing, paragraph, etc...

Thanks

Since elog is only the web server providing (comfortable) access to the logbook database, it relies on the web browser (possibly enhanced by script code) for facilities to attach pictures and other files to entries. So unless your browser has such an extension or someone writes some sort of script that can do it, the only way is to use an external capturing program, save the picture and upload it in the usual way. Cf. also entry 66004.

Elog is excellent!

I apologize for the naive question, but is there a way to insert screenshots directly into elog entries?

There is a simple way. In your logbook directory you will find files of the format xxyyzza.log where xxyyzz is the year/month/day of the entries being submitted during that day. The attachments have a similar form, they have just the attachment name appended to the date. To back it up, just copy or tar all files of that directory. If you want to back up a certain year, you can select 2009 for example with 09*.*  To restore these files, simply untar them into the directory and restart the elogd daemon. The restart is necessary, since during start the daemon indexes all entries.
