Is there an inbuilt way to find the last entries changed in an elog?

I could add a "Last Mod" attribute and then config "Subst on edit Last Mod =
$date", but it occurred to me that this functionality might already be in
this wonderful tool somewhere, but I just haven't found it yet.

So, is it?

Best regards, Ralph.

No it isn't. Not everybody wants it. So you have to do it in the way you
outlined it. Also have a look at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/faq.html#11

God really STRANGE and problematic effect on 2.5.5-1 (can't remember it this
was with 2.5.5 or 2.5.4-X but i'm nearly sure it worked well):

Entering a date (Formate Bithday = date) may crash down the server:
Value is 22.2.2004: Everything is well
Value is 22.2.1962: Server crashes emmediatly (menas restarzing several
times, always the same problem)

I do not have time to check true all the years for finding out where the
problem may beginn, sorry. Also I was not able to check on other systems
right now. My system: Win XP Pro SP 1, IE 6 as well as Mozilla Calssic 1.7.3. 

Didn't check it under Linux right know in case of a lot work.

Clould you this fix please Stefan???  THANK'X!!!

'Date' attributes can only be between 1970 and 2037, since I use internally the
unix time format. I added a test so future versions will complain and not crash
when the date is outside that range.

If you need dates before 1970, don't use the 'Date' format, simply use strings.

Hi

I was just wondering if it is possible to define what logbooks you want
mirrored in the [Global] part of the elogd.conf file. I want to mirror the
logbooks that I use for work from my laptop to the work server but I have
set up other logbooks that I will use for uni and other non work projects. 

I have set the mirroring up in [Global] using the cron based settings but I
am guessing that is going to try and mirror all the logbooks. 

;The mirror settings
Mirror server = tanami:8080
;Mirror the contents of the elogd.conf file for individual logbooks but not
global settings
Mirror config = 1
;Mirror every hour between 07:00 and 20:00 during the week day
Mirror cron = 0 7-20 * * 1-5
Mirror user = john

I gather my personal logbooks won't sync across as I get an "error accessing
remote logbook" so that is fine but was just wondering if you can set it so
that you can define in global what logbooks you want to sync.

thank you
John

I added a new option

Mirror exclude = 1

which has to be put into the individual logbook section (not the [global] one).
The modification will be contained in the next release.

Thank you very much Stefan.

I implemented experimentally RSS feeds into Elog. Before releasing this new
addition, I would like to collect some experience with it. This forum now
supports RSS feeds, for which you can subscribe with a RSS feed reader like
Mozilla Firefox. Please give it a try and send me any feedback.

For an introduction to RSS feeds, please see 

http://www.webreference.com/authoring/languages/xml/rss/intro/

To subscribe to a logbook, enter following URL into your RSS reader:

http://<your-elog-host.domain>/<logbook>/elog.rdf

From the newest Mozilla Firefox browser, you can also click on the RSS box at
the lower right corner of the browser (see attachment).
