I have installed Elog in a Windows-environment. It's working fine, but i get a new logbookfile each day. Is it possible to have all entries in 1 logbookfile?

No. The standard database engine inside ELOG works this way. It allows you to backup then every month or year easily just on the file system by copying all 10????a.log files for example. If you would have just one file (which could become very large), there is no easy way to do that.

Hello @all,

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but after upgradeing from 2.7.0 to 2.7.7 the Change <attribute> and List Change <attribute> doesn't work anymore. In my .cfg file I've:

Quote:
Change RIB-http = <a href="https://$RIB-Hostname/" target="_new">RIB-Board</a>
List Change RIB-http = <a href="https://$RIB-Hostname/" target="_new">RIB-Board</a>


In the old ELOG version I've "RIB-Board" as text in the page and the link works well. But now there is the following code generated:

Quote:
<tr><td nowrap class="attribname">RIB-http:</td><td class="attribvalue">
&lt;a href="<a href="https://RIB-COMPUTER/">https://RIB-COMPUTER/</a>" target="_new"&gt;RIB-Board&lt;/a&gt;&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

Is the syntax changed from 2.7.0 to 2.7.7? What's the correct syntax for 2.7.7?


For security reasons (XSS or cross site scripting) , HTML code in attributes is not allowed by default. To turn it on (and if you know what you are doing), add following line to your configuration
Allow HTML = 1



I know this is an old, old thread, but I am trying to use this feature in a recent version of elog (3.1.3). Is there any chance this will ever get fixed, or at least made workable? I tried "Allow HTML = 1", but that did not work. I'd like to be able to use this to link directly to carriers to track packages.

Also, the documentation seemed a bit confusing to me:

Quote:
Change <attribute> = <string>
Instead of subsituting an attribute, the original attribute can be kept and just the output formatting can be changed. This can be very handy for constructing HTML links out of attributes. Presume that a company has a telephone book reachable under

http://any.company.com/telbook.cgi?search=<name>

where <name> has to be replaced by a search string. Now one can construct an automatic telephonebook lookup with following options:

Attributes = Name, Telephone, ...
Display Telephone = <a href="http://any.company.com/telbook.cgi?search=$Name">$Name's telephone number</a>

The attribute Telephone is now automatically constructed from the attribute Name and consists of a link to the company's telephonebook. The advantage of this system is if the URL of the telephonebook changes one day, only one statement in the config file has to be changed, while otherways (like with the Subst Telephone = ... option) all entries would have to be changed manually.


The example seems to be using a different syntax ("Display Telephone") rather than the syntax described by the section header ("Change <attribute>...").

Any update to this information would be greatly appreciated. I'm just looking for a workable solution of any kind. Thank you for your continuing fine work.

I am able to make it work by passing just a plain string constructing the URL. Strange though... before I posted the previous log entry, it didn't work no matter what I tried! Bizarre.

However, it would still be a good idea to update the documentation to clarify things somewhat and bring it up to date with actual usage today.

You are referring here to a Forum entry for an old ELOG version: this will not be changed, since it was for that old version.
If you want some documentation to be updated, then you should show the documentation part that should be updated.

I have been looking at the documentation at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#attrib. (See the quoted portion, above.) If there is newer documentation, please post a link for it here. Thank you!

Yepp, the documentation was wrong. I fixed it.

  66530   Fri Sep 4 20:44:32 2009 Question Dandanlei.chao@noaa.govQuestionLinux2.7.7-1ELcode in Summary Text
Hello,

   Thank you for such a great piece of software!

   When displaying the entries in a log book with Summary view, ELCode is not processed in 'Text'. I know there
is an option called 'Allow HTML", but is there something similar for decoding ELCode in the Summary 'Text' field?

Thank you again,
   - Dan
