Hello there,

After several years of great ELOG usage I decided to upgrade our ELOG server.  I am using it to keep 
a logbook of my students.

ELOG runs as a windows service but since I cannot access or change windows services (only have access to the
ELOG directory) I upgraded by installing the executable to my laptop then copying the new ELOG version over the server installation.  

Tried this first on my laptop going from V2.9.2-2475  to the last version 3.1.1 and this worked without a problem.

When I tried to reproduce this on the server  all the data is there but ELOG displays it as if no theme was installed. (using the default
by the way)  No colors, no formatting
... at first I thougt this was because the copy was not complete but a second try reproduced the same result???

Tried going back to the old version but then ALL data was gone (structure and all logbooks still there, but data in logbooks gone) ....
Used -v switch to debug and the logging displayed an MD5 hash mismatch, so the logbooks could not be opened.  A restore fixed this ....
I guess upgrading means changing the logbook structure?

Anyway does anyone have any idea why the upgrade loses formatting ??  Tips are welcome

Hello,

I am using ELOG V2.9.2-2475.  I added some groups and restarted ELOG and all of a sudden it 

Is there anyone out there who can help me get started using javascript in elog ?  Is there an example somewhere ... i suppose you put the code in the
scripts folder?

Basically I am trying to calculate age of an added person in the database and display it after the birthdate field.  I  want to do other stuff, but once I know how 
the interaction is done I can proceed.

Thankx heaps

Great job btw with this ELOG ... been using it for years now.  I see you can add forms with html also, this might interest me for the future.

Hello there,

I am trying to format my entry form a little bit more practical and readable. I am struggling with the following:

• Numbers should be standard fields of 3 characters and can only be 3 characters wide (doing this by Format Leeftijd=1, css, 3, 3)
• Text Entry fields should be max. width of 15 characters ? 

Also struggling with mutliple fields on one line:

• Can Spacing between fields be controlled?  Even vertical spacing?
• When omitting the css in the Format syntax, the fieldname and field gets colored dark blue
  .. found via css inspection a part solution using "Format Leeftijd=1, attribname, 3, 3",  which solves the field title
  but then the value still gets colored dark blue

Also I see that when one formats the entry field in edit mode it shows differently in list mode. (for example set width is not enforced in list mode)

Anyone ?

Thankx 4 the quick reply Stefan.  The link you provided does  not work .... could you point me again in the 
right direction?  Where can I find more info on this ability?

Thankx

 Hey there,

Trying to record birthdates in ELOG ... field type being date results in error:

Can this be avoided?  I like the fact that one can use the date picker to enter birthdate

Is it possible to create a Link To command (ala Copy To, Move To) that
would allow you to reference an entry in another log book without copying it?
This would be handy as the info would be kept current in both log books.
My thought is that it would create a psuedo entry in the other log
book that pointed back at the originating log book entry (similar to a 
UNIX soft link)
