The intermediate elog version 2.7.0-3 had a bug which truncated some entries (just like the one where I reply to). This has been fixed in release 2.7.0-4. So please everybody who uses 2.7.0-3 do an update.

icon5.gif   Audit Trail?, posted by Javier A. Ortiz on Fri Jan 18 13:57:31 2008 

First thanks for the great software! My only question would be how to implement audit trail feature. I know you can control who edits and that's great but in regulated environments like mine there's a requirement that the original record, the one edited, is not deleted or overwritten. If not possible right now the only thing I could think of is a mechanism, maybe possible thru configuration, that when the record is edited it is copied to an audit trail logbook (i.e. if logbook name is 'test' it's audit logbook will be named 'test-audit' which is read only) and have a link to the audit trail of the record (show only changes of the current record).

 

I'm more than aware that it's possible thru configuration but I'm short on that dept. Any help/idea?

 

Thanks in advance!

You can achieve this via replies. First you disable any edits on the original message by removing the Edit command via 'Menu commands' or by using 'Restrict edit time' appropriately. If someone wants to edit an entry, she or he makes a reply. If the original entry is formatted with ELCode, it will be enclosed by a [quote] tag, which can be easily removed. Then the text can be edited and submitted. This way you get the history of an entry in a chain of replies. That's the only way I see to accomplish this functionality.

 

icon5.gif   Converting dates from an Excel import into ELOG, posted by Fergus Lynch on Thu Jan 24 13:50:10 2008 

Hi,

I'm importing an Excel spreadsheet into ELOG through CSV format.  All working fine apart from dates.

Dates are exporting from Excel in the format "day/month/year" so 1st January 2008 is exported as 01/01/2008 in the CSV.

However all dates are displayed in ELOG as "01/01/1970" regardless of the field content, and looking at the raw ELOG data file dates are displayed as numeric's - so for example 01/01/2008 is "1199188800"

Can you tell me how dates are computed/stored in ELOG so that I can do the necessary conversion.

Many Thanks

Fergus

S'ok - looked up the documentation  and have converted Excel dates to ELOG 'seconds since 01/01/1970' and all has come over fine!

 

Thanks

icon5.gif   'Deactivate' Options, posted by Uwe on Mon Feb 11 19:22:25 2008 

Hello,

one question regard Options: For e. g. I am using the following command: Options Categories = NT, 2000, XP, Linux
Now I would like to delete the entry NT. But that would cause, that NT is no longer available in the search function. So I wonder if there is a way to deactivate an attribute?

Thanks!

Uwe

A deactivate option is not implemented. The only possibility you have is to enter the search string drictly in the url, like

http://<host>/<logbook>/?Category=NT
