I don't feel comfortable allowing the elog daemon to execute random shell scripts. Is there no other way?

If you define a field as "datetime" then you'll get the standard ELOG input field for datetime. It will be stored as seconds of the epoch (seconds since 1.1.1970).

You can define a field as a default string input, then it is stored as a string. But you can convert that string by a shell scripts into seconds of the epoch. See "subst" command in the documentation of the elog syntax:

One other way would be to do the conversion on the client-side using javascript.
Overwrite the complete datetime input cell and add an event listener to either onChange of this input or the submit event, to trigger the conversion before submitting, so elog would get the converted time.

In out elog some entries get additional information added in this way.

Do you actually need to convert the date into the internal format? Why not keeping simply the full string YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM. If the use is disciplined enough to always use the correct format, there should be no issue. I invented the datetime format to "force" all date/time inputs to have the correct format. If you have a proper YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM format, even sorting (now by string) should work correctly.

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how ELOG works and I have a problem.

I have one datetime attribute, where I want the user to be able to enter the time in ISO8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM) instead of the buttons.

How do I manage that this input is converted correctly into the internal format?

I tried adding a hidden locked Attribute called IntDate and use "Subst IntDate = $start" but the result is dates in 1970, even though I have set the Time Format to "%F %H:%M"

Hi Stefan,
I am searching for a solution in order to have a date automatically generated by another one.

For example I want 1 month more :
I input the first date in "Date publication" : 01/01/2006 and the "Date validation" took automatically the 01/02/2006 value from themselve.

Can I do that with ELOG ?
Thanks for answer.


No, this is not implemented right now.

I downloaded the latest source (ELOG V2.6.5-1946) to solve another problem. But now I get:

Error: "Attribute "Date" for quick filter not found", see attachment.

In the configfile I have: Quick filter = Date

A bug?


Yep. Fixed in V2.6.5-1951.

Unfortunately not. But your request is on the wishlist since some time, I added
your vote.

Stefan,

I am using the Database Like - ELOG format and on the list page, the the last two columns (on the right side) are, "Text" and "Attachments (the paperclip)".

Both of which I have deleted from the input page.

Is there anyway to remove them from the List page?

Thanks,      Mike

You need:

Show text = 0

Enable Attachments = 0

to supress the text entry box and the attachment field.

Display search = ID, Type, Location, Status

to show only the attributs of interest in the list display (your attributes could be different)

Summary lines = 0

to supress the text in the list display. At the moment, this still shows the paperclip colum, but I want to fix this in the next version.
