Importing dates from CSV files was not implemented for a good reason: There are dozens of date formats (such as "1/22/09", "Jan 1 2009", "Mon 1 January '09") and it is almost impossible to handle all formats. I changed now the code to catch at least some formats, such as the internal RFC2822 compliant date which is also used internall by elog. An example of this format is "Thu, 22 Jan 2009 09:26:00". This date format will also be used if you export a logbook via a CSV file. Another format I added is "1/22/09". So give a try to the new code (I made an intermediate release for windows V2.7.5-3) and see if it works for you.

 I could not produce this error here again, so I work on that:

There was a attribute with Type = Date, Preset = $Date.

This added following js code

  for (var i=0 ; i<document.form1.y0.value.length ; i++)
    if ((document.form1.y0.value.charAt(i) < "0" ||
         document.form1.y0.value.charAt(i) > "9")) { break }

This cause in following error 
Fehler: document.form1.y0 is undefined
Quelldatei: http://elog1.bkitech.de/Test-Maengelbericht/?cmd=Neu
Zeile: 16 
After that error none js will be executed.
After remarking the Type line, all work well.

  for (var i=0 ; i<document.form1.y0.value.length ; i++)
    if ((document.form1.y0.value.charAt(i) < "0" ||
         document.form1.y0.value.charAt(i) > "9")) { break }

This cause in following error

I tried with following minimal configuration file:

Attributes = D, Author, Subject
Type D = Date
Preset D = $Date

and it worked fine. The form contains a field:

Year: <input type="text" size=5 maxlength=5 name="y0">

which contains the name "y0" and therefore produced no error. Can you try with that configuration and see which difference to your configuration causes the error to appear?

I got this error message when trying to upload 17K text file as attachment.  Any idea why ? It's a fresh installed elog and not much configuration done yet.

Thanks

No, no idea. I usually put several MB attachments into elogs without problems. Can you try with the demo logbook https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/. Maybe you have an old version of elog? 

 No problem attaching big files on F10 or CentOS 4.7.   The one that is having issue was on JeOS-8.0.4 - Ubuntu ;-).  All tested with ELOG version 2.7.5 build 2130.

 Correction.  The OSes are OK.  But don't use Opera when uploading big files.

Hi Stefan,

In the past I have requested the "mark whole thread" feature, not yet implimented.  At present, I 
edit (in my case) the icon on the first entry to indicate current status of the thread.  I have 
had an idea connected to this.

If you view a page, in threaded form, and collapsed, the header of the first entry of each thread is 
shown.  The order, however, is that of the timed order of the latest entry in that thread.


As an option, under the same circumstances (threaded, collapsed), if the header of the most recent 
entry was shown, then that could also be an indicator of closed thread, or of "marking whole thread" 
option (maybe would be enough for those who desire those features).  It also gives an indication of 
the current status of the thread without having to edit the original entry of the thread to edit 
(for example) the icon. 

Just a thought on how to improve a wonderful program ;-)
