Hi,

I am new to eLog, trying to make a logbook tool.  This is probably a question with a simple answer, but here it is...  I need to be able to edit the entry time for an entry as it is being made and also in Edit mode later.  We have field staff who use a paper log in the field and then come back to the computer later and create the log entries, and they need to be time stamped to reflect when an event happened, not when the entry is put into the log.

I'm guessing I'm missing something easy in my Config file, I've looked through the config examples and searched the forum but I couldn't come up with an example of how to make this work.

Thanks in advance!

Jay

 Steve, just a word of thanks for "butting in" ... my next thought was how could I schedule an export to feed the other database so it wouldn't have to be done manually each day. Your question took care of that for me!  :)

Good community. Thanks.

Is there any documentation I can go through that explains how to remove the Certificate Error I am getting as shown in the attachment.  I have tried creating my own certificate and putting it in the elog ssl folder but that just prevented the elog service from starting.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

I am testing Elog for personal and group use. I am starting with a Windows install on a PC. (I came across Elog when doing a shift on ATLAS at CERN.)

It took me some time to discover how to access a local logbook and create a new one. I suggest adding short sections in a prominent place in the guides:

User guide:

"Accessing a logbook: To access a logbook, point your Web browser at the appropriate URL. The default for a local Elog is http://localhost:8080/logbookname. Logbook files are stored in directory logbookname which is a sub-directory of the logbook root directory, defined by the administrator. See the administrator guide on how to create a new logbook."

Admin guide:

"Creating a logbook: A logbook is created in three steps: 1) The logbook root directory is defined as an option of the elogd start command; 2) A sub-directory, of the logbook root directory, named logbookname is created; and 3) The elogd.cfg file is edited to define the logbook's attributes and options. No files are created in the sub-directory; that is done when entries are made."

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

When entering data for a new log entry some folks always type in an attribute and then the "Enter" key which automatically

submits the entry. Is there a way to prevent this so the only way a new entry is submitted is with the Submit button. Also

is there a way to setup the main text box as a required attribute?

Thanks

Gary

 Thank you Stefan, it works now

Best regards
