Hello there,

After several years of great ELOG usage I decided to upgrade our ELOG server.  I am using it to keep 
a logbook of my students.

ELOG runs as a windows service but since I cannot access or change windows services (only have access to the
ELOG directory) I upgraded by installing the executable to my laptop then copying the new ELOG version over the server installation.  

Tried this first on my laptop going from V2.9.2-2475  to the last version 3.1.1 and this worked without a problem.

When I tried to reproduce this on the server  all the data is there but ELOG displays it as if no theme was installed. (using the default
by the way)  No colors, no formatting
... at first I thougt this was because the copy was not complete but a second try reproduced the same result???

Tried going back to the old version but then ALL data was gone (structure and all logbooks still there, but data in logbooks gone) ....
Used -v switch to debug and the logging displayed an MD5 hash mismatch, so the logbooks could not be opened.  A restore fixed this ....
I guess upgrading means changing the logbook structure?

Anyway does anyone have any idea why the upgrade loses formatting ??  Tips are welcome

I use a elog which has a text field to show log entries:  https://classis01.roma1.infn.it/elog/calib/     In the "Summary" view there are only 3 lines of about 40 characters shown, so often the entry is cut off even though there is plenty of space in the text box for longer lines.   To see the full entry you must click on the ID number.   Is there any way to configure the Text box to show longer lines?   Thank you.

I'm trying to send an email based on an attribute, in other words, a lookup and not $user_email of the author.

For instance, if I set a an attribute "Assignee" with a valid user full name (i.e. John Smith), I'd like to look up John Smith's 
email address from the password file and send him an email. I can't seem to find it something like that in the docs, I can write 
a script to do that, but was looking for a less cumbersom way of doing it. Thanks in advance.

 I'm looking for config examples of a shift log book where operators have to check a box or select their name from a list to prove they have read the latest entries in the log, can anyone help.

  Thanks for your time.

Is it possible to use wget to log into elog and export all of a logbook's data into a CSV file?

I can accomplish this perfectly when authentication IS NOT required by using:  wget --no-check-certificate -O e:\export.csv http://localhost:8080/demo/?mode=CSV1

However, I cannot accomplish it when authentication IS required by using:  wget --no-check-certificate -O e:\export.csv "http://localhost:8080/demo/?mode=CSV1&uname=agrant&upassword=skipper"

The latter appears to show that I've logged in, but the export file only contains a bunch of HTML tags, not the actual data as in the former.

How should I construct the wget command?

We use ELOG for our accelerator operation logbooks. As part of the shift handover every shift prints out all
entries made during the shift and files the printouts. If one entry in the shift was plain text without
appropriate linebreaks (like this one), then this screws up the printout: the whole window is scaled to the width
of this line and either the printout is cut off at the right side, or the whole content is scaled down to very
tiny scale, which makes it unreadable.

Is there a way to enforce line breaks in plain text entries?

Hello,

Is it possible to remove the "active" checkbox a user sees when they click on "config"?  Alternatively, is it possible to have a new user arrive directly at the logbook they chose, rather than starting out at the config screen?

We are running elog-3.1.1 on SL6 with webserver authentication.  For the most part this works great, but somehow a few users become inactive after they login for the first time.  They claim they didn't un-check "active," but I can't think of any other way this would happen.

Many thanks,
Devin

Hello,

What is the procedure to delete a logbook (incl. attachments)?
