ELOG Forum

Hi, I'd like to upgrade from an old version of elog 2.3.8 to 2.6.0. I installed the new version, and it runs fine, but it doesn't seem to see my old logbooks (the path in the conf file is correct). Do I have to upgrade my logbooks somehow?

No. The last change in the logbook format was for version 2.0.0. So something else must be wrong. Just creat one entry with your new elog, and see where it's created on the hard disk. Put your old logbooks there. If you start elogd manually with the "-v" flag, you will see it indexing all logbooks. Check that you see all your entries there.

Yes. The 2.6.0-beta1,2,3,4 have some problems, but the latest beta5 is pretty stable.

Usually only new options get added, and I keep the old ones, so there should not be any problem, although I do not record carefully what changes between any arbitray versions, so just read the changelogs

The changelog is located at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/ChangeLog

I have not put in the new stuff from 2.6.0, because it's still in beta.

Re: "Logkook dir" in top group [global] section ineffective

OK, I found the note about "Logbook dir" in Stephen Wood's entry (http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1101) Wink

"Logkook dir" in top group [global] section ineffective

Hi, it's me again!

I have found one possible bug. We have declared top groups for our logbooks; one for administration and one for the shift logbooks. In the [global]-section there is a "Logbook dir"-statement of the form

[global]
Top group Admin = <...>
Top group Shiftlogs = beamtime1,beamtime2,...

Logbook dir = /data/logbooks

Now, in the [global Shiftlogs] section there is another "Logbook dir"-statement to have all associated logbooks in one tree:

[global Shiftlogs]
Logbook dir = /data/logbooks/shift-logbooks

[beamtime1]
Subdir = beamtime1

The problem is, that the manually created subdirectories /data/logbooks/shift-logbooks/beamtimeN are ignored, and the elogd creates new "Subdir"-directories /data/logbooks/beamtimeN (as if the "Logbook dir" statement in the top group [global] section were ineffective). Is this a bug or configuration error from our side?

There are also one question/request (you see that we use the elog extensively now Wink

):
When searching for a particular event in our shift log using the "Find" function, it would often be useful not to go to the single entry, but to the page where that entry resides. This way we can see the whole context of the event. When clicking onto an entry in the "Find" result page, this takes us of course to the single entry, but could you add a function to go to the page instead. Alternatively, is it possible to include a button "Go to page" in the single entry view (it need not even be exactly +/-N entries around, the usual page partition would do)?

Thanks in advance.

What is the Email Format flag that I need to use ?
Is there something else that I have to configure ? ?)

The email notification is under revision right now, that's why 2.6.0 is still in beta. It will change again before the final release. I want to make a multipart/alternative encoding, where plain text and HTML are sent in the same email, and the user can select on the email client which part to view.

In the 2.6.0-beta5, you can select the eamil format with

Email encoding = 4

which then produces the same notifications as the forum.
