Is there a way to merge existing entries from several logbooks into a single logbook? 

Only manually: Add "Move to" to you set of commands via "Menu commands = ...", then select one or more entries, and move them to your target logbook.

1. When an entry is submitted is it possible to have it return to the submit page instead of a summary of the entry. In the ELog.cfg syntax on the site it mentions something about this. However It says something about a file being present in the resource directory. I am not sure what to do here.


You can hand-write a HTML file which gets displayed after submission, but that's probably not what you want. Unfortunately there is no option to go back to the submit page, so you have to click New again. If you want to enter a bulk of data, you can also do a CSV import. Maybe that's easier for you. Just write a comma-separated-value file, and import it via "CSV Import".

2. When you submit an entry is it possible for the fields to stay set to the value that was selected on submission of the last entry. You would need to still be able to change them though.


The Duplicate command was made for that. Just select an entry which is close to your new one (might be the last one entered), and click Duplicate. This gets you to what you want.

The message is not lost, but becomes a "draft". This works similar in most email systems. When you edit an email and son't send it, it stays in your "draft" email folder and does not show up in your "sent" folder. Same here. You are suppost to "submit" you entry, the "save" is just a temporary safety backup. If you do not submit (if you press BACK or your browser crashes), the entry is not submitted to the system, but stays around as a draft. If you create a new message, the system asks you to edit and finish your draft, so that it does not get lost. So always hit "submit" if you are finished editing a message, not just "save". 

If you want to see the draft message, they are rendered in red in the normal message list if you have

List drafts = 1

in your config file. No ide where your cluttering comes from.

I found a sequence which hides the message from the list.
In addition this sequence corrupts UTF encoding of the text.

  1. create new message
  2. submit it
  3. Edit this message again
  4. click SAVE and then exit the editor (click Logbook name in the header or BACK in the browser)
  5. message disappeared from the list!
  6. by clicking NEW message I found my lost one in the drafts, but all text was corrupted.

I've made small GIF presentation on this issue (attached, open in new window), may be this helps.

Dear Stefan,

Thanks for quick reply.
I checked List drafts = 1 in config file - it does not show drafts in the list in my case.
Can it be blocked by any other option?
I have these options enabled:

Use Lock = 1
Save drafts = 1
List drafts = 1
 

Peter.

You might have to update to the current elog version. This feature was implemented in Dec. 2016.

We installed our elog from .apk in November 2017.

Version V3.1.2-bd75964

I suppose it already contains List drafts feature.

The -bd... number must be from the .apk package, which I don't have control over. You have to check the elog git hash code. You see it at the bottom of each elog web page. For this forum server, it's ELOG V3.1.2-7933898 with 7 digit number at the end.
