Sorry to bother you. I could see in past Forum entries that the question of  "Simple Math" has come up before, although the answers were not all that simple.

Can you do simple math (i.e. attribute A + attribute B = attribute C) in ELOG ?

Thank you for putting up with my questions.

Mike

 

No, you can't. The only way is to export a logbook to CSV, then import it in a spreadsheet program, then do the math there. 

 You can pass numerical attributes to an external command via "Execute new =...".  This external command can then do the math and pass the result _back_ to the logbook either as a new entry or as an edit with the command-line client "elog".

For example, given a new entry with (numerical) attributes A and B, if you have

Execute new = add_them.pl $A $B $message id

in your elog.cfg file, then $A and $B will be passed to the add_them.pl perl script.  Now have the perl script (or bc, or whatever you want to use) do the appropriate math and submit the result.  For example, your perl script might include

$C=$A+$B

$D=$A*$B

elog -a C=$C ... -e "$message id" "Sum as edit"

elog -a D=$D ... "Product as new entry"

Is there a way to pre-populate the new entry window with one or more attachments? Per the documentation, this is easy to do with attributes, i.e., http://localhost:8070/demo/?cmd=New&pauthor=joe&ptype=Info as a URL or bookmark will do it. I'd like to do the same thing with attachments, for example http://localhost:8070/demo/?cmd=New&pauthor=joe&ptype=Photograph&attfile1=picture1.jpg&attfile2=picture2.jpg might prepopulate two attachments, giving me an edit window all ready to enter the brief description represented by the two pictures.

Is there any way to directly paste an image from a Windows clipboard into an elog entry page?  It's obvious
for uploading a file, but many of my users say that they never make a file, they just want to paste in an image
already onscreen.

Hmmm.  Well, does that mean that it is easier under Linux?  I have to confess I couldn't figure that out either.  But
I'd be delighted to have Yet Another Reason to tell the users that "it works under Linux, maybe you should switch...."

We just tested eLog and it works in Chrome but not in IE .. Is it a setting issue that we need to chnage on IE ?!

  66700   Tue Feb 2 21:52:00 2010 Question Ed Rogersedrogers@fnal.govQuestionLinuxV2.7.5-213Backing up an entire eLog

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
