Thanks Stefan,

I've properly set the firewall, and access is forbidden from outside. But when I don't have internet access, how could I open my database?

Furthermore: how it is possible to change the "demo" title ? and what's the procedure to open other databases?

Thanks again for helping

Sara

You can start the elogd daemon even when you don't have internet access, and access your database locally under http://localhost:8080. For changing the title of a logbook, please read the documentation. 

Hi, I've been using the ELOG software for about a year now. I love it! But as my ELOG becomes more valuable, I become more paranoid about potential data loss. (We've had numerous close-calls with disk failures, recently.) Is there a way to download a backup of my ELOG, all at once? Maybe a command that could create a tar.gz of all the entries and attachments? Further, is there also a command to restore from such a backup? Apologies if this question is answered elsewhere. I couldn't readily find it in the documentation. Regards, --Ed

There is a simple way. In your logbook directory you will find files of the format xxyyzza.log where xxyyzz is the year/month/day of the entries being submitted during that day. The attachments have a similar form, they have just the attachment name appended to the date. To back it up, just copy or tar all files of that directory. If you want to back up a certain year, you can select 2009 for example with 09*.*  To restore these files, simply untar them into the directory and restart the elogd daemon. The restart is necessary, since during start the daemon indexes all entries. 

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

Sara

Unfortunately not to my knowledge. The underlying editor FCKEdit has however certain styles etc., and one might maybe be able to tweak that, but I never figured out how.  

Hi,

This little logbook has a problem:

------------------------

Attributes = Author, Category, Type, Subject, Number

Type Number = numeric

Options Category = General{1}
{1} Options Type = Routine

------------------------

(it was of course more complicated to start with).

When creating a new entry and selecting the Category option, there is a problem with the JavaScript which will populate the Type option.

To avoid the problem, I just comment out the line "Type Number ... "

Is this a bug ?

Thanks for your time

Soren

(P.S. Using a reserved name as an attribute name is maybe not optimal, but it does not seem to be the  problem).

 To overcome this problem it is sufficient to switch language from "Language = french" to "Language = english"

It was a mistake not to include the "global" settings in this bug report.

What probably happens is that something in the French translation (accents ?) disturbs the java scripting.
