Saving, using Submit sees recently updated fields cleared after hitting SUBMIT.
MOre significantly this then leads to a proliferation of instances of the same record being generated in the logfile and consequently on the logbook.
Has anybody a fix or advice on this?

I have not heard of that problem before.
The key to fix is to reproduce it, then teach me how to reproduce it. Only errors I can reproduce on my computer I am able to fix.
Best regards,

Does this occur if you are adding an attachment? As I am blessed with forever using ancient systems, I've seen fields and indeed text being cleared because they were entered between clicking on 'Upload' for an attachment and the .png files being generated and displayed. Answer here is patience - I use all too much of mine up in this exercise, sadly.

cannot add new logbooks to any of my logbook groups, posted by Paraic Fahey on Thu Oct 3 10:23:31 2013
|
Each time a attempt to CREATE A LOGBOOK on any of my logbook groups, I get an ELOG ERROR page presenting saying FORBIDDEN ATTRIBUTE DATE.
I have, up until recently been able to add new logbooks.
Can anybody help me on this.

Just modify your configuration file elogd.cfg manually with an editor and add your logbooks there, then restart elogd.

I cannot answer for Windoze, BUT there is more to this if you use Linux.
(Sorry for re-entry, I spotted a cut-and-paste error from first time around)
If you want to make a new logbook in linux manually, you need to do the following:
0. Stop the elogd daemon.
1. Edit elogd.cfg as Stefan said. This will be in two parts - at the top, and then a block of entries which is what you normally see when you go to the "config" section of any logbook. Easiest to copy and paste an existing block, only remember to put in a new header in the square brackets at the top - the name of your new logbook. While most of the elogd.cfg is the same as in the documentation, the additional headers etc are pretty self-explanatory, and you only see these because you're editing the file raw rather than through the elog interface. Once restarted, you can then edit the config for the new logbook in the usual way.
2. Create a new subdirectory in your logbooks directory *with the same name* as the name you added in when editing elogd.cfg.
3. Give that subdirectory the correct ownership and permissions.
4. Only then, start elogd again.
As a windows user, which of the above you need to do: create the subdirectory (I imagine so) and/or anything else (I don't know). I don't use Windows - apart from AutoCAD and one other javascript based program that non-the-less has windows dependancies (!).

David, Stefan,
Thanks for your help. Directly editing the elog.cfd file worked.

Upgrading Windows should not change the behavior of ELOG, unless you made a mistake during re-installation of ELOG. Can you post a picture on how your reply looks like, it's hard for me to understand what you write.
