Hi,

I've been exploring elog. I find when using IE 11, the text editor formatting buttons don't work with HTML encoding selected. The entire toolbar is grayed out. It appears to work fine with Chrome. Any ideas or direction to look? elog v3.1.1 is running on RedHat EL5. I've tried the rpm installation, and source code compilation and installation with no change.

Any input would be greatly apriciated!

This reply has been written with IE 11 using the embedded HTML editor of ELOG. Therefore it is obviously not a problem of ELOG 3.1.1 with IE 11.

It could be a problem with your ELOG installation or it could be a problem with you IE 11 configuration. Can you use the HTML editor of this forum with IE11? Did you install ELOG 3.1.1 on top of an existing ELOG installation?

There was a recent post in the forum about IE11 and the HTML editor in the Forum. Did you read it?

Cheers, Andreas

Also make sure you don't have "Compatibility Mode" turned on in IE11.

See here for example: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-enable-compatibility-view-in-internet-explorer-11-ie11/

I need some guidedance on how to access the logbook from another computer. I installed the logbook on a Windows server machine and started the logbook using port 81.

I can connect to the logbook on the same machine, but I can not access it from another machine on the same network.

I already confirm that the windows firewall is not enable.

I have a street address attribute called Ticket Location which I would like to hyperlink to google maps so I can see a map representation of the actual value. For example, the value "654 Pembina" on the List page shoud be inserted into the url such that it  displays http://maps.google.com/?q=654 Pembina, winnipeg when the browser window opens. This url works fine when I manually type it directly into the address bar, however I cannot get it to work properly as a link originating from Elog.

This is what I have done so far: I added the following to my cfg file: Change Ticket Location = <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=$Ticket Location,%20winnipeg">$Ticket Location</a> ... but the resulting link does not end up contiguous on the single entry page, ie: <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=72217864 Location,%20winnipeg">72217864 Location</a>  .I also tried several variations in the cfg file without any better success (ie: double quotes; resorting to 1 word variable name; concatenating with +; etc).

Having this map link would be a tremendous help to our operation. Does anyone know of any way to make this work?

There's also two spin-off issues I'm having with the above approach that you may have noticed: 1) I also have another separate variable called Ticket (rep the actual ticket #) which Elog assumes I want in the url, hence the reason 72217864 shows up on the single entry opage; 2) Secondly, I prefer the single entry to retain the original value as the link (in this case, 654 Pembina), as opposed to <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=72217864 Location,%20winnipeg">72217864 Location</a>.

Any suggestions on resolving these issues is greatly appreciated.

Hello

Want a hyperlink in one of the attributes like this : http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl#subject

In this way I should be able to redirect to a certain part of the html that the perl script is generating. When I setup this manually it works. ( typing directly the html link into the attribute )

 
When I put the html link into elog config file it will never show up the correct format : everything after the '#' is translated into the digit 1. ( So you get  http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl1 . ) 

I tried to escape with \# used quoting " and '. No luck.  Tried to use the &#97; , No luck. 

I've tested with several versions of elog but it seems that it has never worked. 

Allow HTML = 1 dit not work for me.

Has it to do with the autoincrement  ? ( Subst Number = XYZ-##### ) I think so because of the 1 that is returned if i use a http link . When I use the same link  http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl#subject a second time i'll get back :
http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl2 . So it seems that the auto increment feature plays a role in this one. 

Can this be done in the attributes of elog.? Can I have a # in a hyperlink ?
