icon5.gif   Upgrading to 2.9, posted by Maureen Kular on Mon May 2 22:39:24 2011 

I am in the process of upgrading from 2.6.0 to 2.9.0.  I am installing it on a windows 2008 r2 server which is 64 bit.  I am having a few issues and am just wondering if Windows 2008 R2 is support with version 2.9.0.  Is there anything I need to know about the installation other than just run the exe file?  So far I have run the exe file and installed the software, the service is running, however I cannot get into the application.  I do not have IIS installed, it does mention it in the installation documentation, is this a requirement?  Any hints or ideas at this point would be appreciated.  I am close I just need that last tweek.  Thanks

icon5.gif   Unwanted faux DST date shifts to time stamps in mirror transactions, posted by Andreas Warburton on Tue May 3 20:05:29 2011 

 Hi,

I have a MacOSX 10.6.7 laptop that periodically synchronizes my logbook with that on a Debian linux web server.  Both instances of ELOG are 2.9.0-2396.

When I create a new entry on the laptop, the indicated time stamp is correct.  When I click Synchronize on the laptop, the entry that gets mirrored to the Debian server has a time stamp exactly one hour earlier (in the past) on the Debian side.

Likewise, when I create a new entry on the Debian server, the indicated time stamp is correct.  When I click Synchronize on the laptop, the entry that gets mirrored from the Debian machine to the laptop has a time stamp that is exactly one hour in the future on the laptop.

This appears to be due to an incorrect handling of times with regard to "summer" (daylight savings) and "standard" time when mirroring between these two different machines.

Is there a straightforward workaround to immunize against this sensitivity?

Thanks!

Andreas

Does anyone know whether ELOG has limit number of entries or it can create new entries as many as it can go?  Thanks.

icon5.gif   editor dosn't work, posted by Sara Vanini on Thu Jun 2 12:52:10 2011 

Hi,

when I try to edit an entry of my ELOG, the display shows the editor window blank, without all the previous content of the entry, and it is not possibile to write in it. It worked since yesterday, when ELOG tried to save a new entry but the disk was full. ELOG was srewed up. I deleted the buggy entry and now I can display all the previuos entries, but I cannot edit anymore... Please help!

icon5.gif   Attachments in a different logbook to the entry logbook, posted by David Pilgram on Wed Jul 6 12:45:19 2011 

Is it possible to have an attachment to an entry in a different directory to the working directory of the logbook being used?

By which I mean, if you have in logbook hidden the attachment files

../logbooks/hidden/110705_235520_whatthis-0.png
../logbooks/hidden/110705_235520_whatthis.pdf

that an entry in another logbook, public, can use the entries in hidden to show them (and do everything that you can do with an attachment)
without making another copy in public?

I see that if, working in public, you attach the .pdf file in hidden, the files get copied across as

../logbooks/public/110705_235520_whatthis-0.png
../logbooks/public/110705_235520_whatthis.pdf

that is, with the original (hidden) timestamp, and no second time stamp superimposed.  From which you can gather I've been playing around, manually editing a yymmdda.log file to try and get the result I want, even if for the moment it cannot be done via elog; but without success, although there were some bizarre interpretations by the elog program of the edited yymmdda.log file, depending upon what I tried.

For one entry, it is of course no big deal, copying the files into the public directory, but if you are dealing with multiple huge entries, it does seem wasteful of HD space

But my reason for this is that hidden has restricted access, whereas public has general access.  The attachments themselves are not restricted, but comments, history etc around them in the restricted access logbook should not become available to the general viewer.

icon5.gif   changing raw style when empty attribute value, posted by Zbigniew Reszela on Thu Jul 14 19:53:13 2011 

Dear all,

I wonder if anyone of you already tried to  change raw style in case of empty attribute value.

In my configuration file I have defined attribute "End date" (without quotation marks) and it's type is datetime.

How should I configure extra style for entries where this attribute doesn't have value.

My tries were:

Style End date = background-color:red

Style End date "" = background-color:red

Style End date " " = background-color:red

Style End date - = background-color:red

But they didn't work.

Any ideas?

icon5.gif   List page displays internal 'Text' attribute header with some alias, posted by Zbigniew Reszela on Wed Jul 20 16:52:06 2011 

I would like to have different header for 'Text' internal attribute: e.g. an alias "Notes". So on the list page header of Text attribute column is Notes.

Is it already possible? I couldn't find it in Administrator's Guide. 

If not is it possible to add this feature?

icon5.gif   Elog client usage, posted by Alan Grant on Fri Jul 22 00:05:02 2011 

I have searched the Elog forum and docs at length for actual examples of how to use the Elog client and I apologize if I missed it somehwere but could someone please provide some actual examples of how the parmeters are used? I haven't had much success setting it up just going by the Elog command syntax quide.

What I intend to do is load a raw text file into an active logbook directly, either one line at at time or batched from a text file ("m" option).

Also, I saw a Perl script contribution somewhere on the site which appears to offer the same functionality as the above util. Just wondering why there would be two methods, and which might be the best for me to use?

Thank you.
