Thanks a lot

Using the command line tool to edit, posted by T. Ribbrock on Thu Aug 7 10:12:25 2008

I intend to create a script that updates one of our elog logbooks based on mails it receives. I was hoping to be able to do this using the "elog" command line tool. Adding a new entry works fine, as does "replying" to an existing entry. The only thing I cannot get to work is editing an existing entry. All entries ahve several attributes and I intend not to use the "message" itself. I tried the following (on the machine this elogd is running on):

Create a new entry with Attribute1 set to "value":

elog -a 'Attribute1=value' -x -h localhost -l 'LOGBOOK' -p 8080 -u USER PASSWD
This works - the entry gets created and is displayed properly. NOTE: I found that this does not work if LOGBOOK has any spaces in it - I would get error messages where the logbook was not found.


Edit this entry to set a second attribute:
elog -e 1 -a 'Attribute2=something' -x -h localhost -l 'LOGBOOK' -p 8080 -u USER PASSWD 

The result was: Error transmitting message. Running the same command with -v gives me a whole bunch of text with at the end this message (I've stripped the HTML): "This entry has in meantime been modified by someone else. Submitting it now would overwrite the other modification and is therefore prohibited." However, I know for certain that this entry is not being editied by anyone at that moment, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong here...



Also, I have a second, related question: Editing by the ID of the entry seems to be the only way of editing an entry - this makes it a bit difficult for me, as all entries already have a unique ID (which is defined as one of the attributes) that is non-numerical and not sequential. What is the easiest way to retrieve an ID from the command line (basically something like: "What ID has the entry with Attribute1==NAME?")? Is it possible at all? Otherwise, I would not be able to automatically edit the entries, as I don't know which is which... :-}

Using select menu option to move multiple logbook entries to another logbook, posted by Robin Peterson on Fri Jun 4 22:40:44 2004

I'm trying to configure this thing to be able to filter on a set of 
criteria, choose select, choose toggle all, and then choose "Move to 
Complete Work Requests".

I've been able to select a specific logbook entry and move it, and I've 
been able to filter and select and toggle, but I can't figure out how to 
get the Move To option to show up on the main logbook menu....

what am I missing?

Using preset text files , posted by soren poulsen on Mon May 4 11:22:40 2009

Hi,

I am trying the Preset text option from the documentation: like:

Attributes = Author, Type
Options Type = Network check{1}, System check{2}

{1} Preset text = network.txt
{2} Preset text = system.txt

I have two questions:

1. Where are the preset text files searched from ? I guess I could put them in the logbook (and specify a relative path like in this example) but it appeared only to work when I specifiy an abcolute path. That is even better in my case.

2. How do I specify line feeds in the file ? I tried Linux and Windows new line characters - but I always end up with just one line in my e-log. I would really like a multi-line form.

Using date and subst date, posted by nait tauh on Fri May 14 06:19:40 2004

I'm trying capture any edit/modified entry with the following, Using the
real date format instead of text string so that I could do a quick filter on it.

Type modified = date
Subst on Edit modified = $date

Problem: It seem that the Subst on Edit always default to 1 Jan 1970 instead
of current date on edit screen. 

Could it be $date is a string and not compatible with tape date? or is there
a variable or function to convert $date to date format?
 
Thanks,
nait

Using curl to post new entries, posted by Florian Feldbauer on Wed Sep 2 10:24:58 2020

Hey,

i'm trying to use curl to post new entries to our logbook as described here: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68597.
The Elog is installed via the Deban package on Buster.
I created a test logbook with attributes Author, Type, Category and Subject.

curl -u florian:foobaa -F cmd=Submit -F Author=Florian -F Type=Diary -F Category=General -F Subject="testing curl" -F Text="foo baa" http://localhost:8080/test <!DOCTYPE html> <html><head> <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> <title>ELOG Login</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="elog.css"> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" /> <link rel="icon" href="favicon.png" type="image/png" /> </head> <body OnLoad="document.form1.uname.focus();"> <form name=form1 method="POST" action="./" enctype="multipart/form-data">

<input type=hidden name=redir value=""> <table class="login_frame" cellspacing=0 align=center><tr><td class="login_title">Please login</td></tr> <tr><td class="login_form"> <span class="overlay_wrapper"> <label for="uname" id="uname" class="overlabel">Username</label> <input type="text" class="login_input" name="uname" value="" title="Username" onInput="document.getElementById('uname').style.display='none';"> </span></td></tr> <tr><td class="login_form"> <span class="overlay_wrapper"> <label for="upassword" id="upassword" class="overlabel">Password</label> <input type="password" class="login_input" name="upassword" onInput="document.getElementById('upassword').style.display='none';"> </span></td></tr> <tr><td align=center class="login_form"><input type=checkbox checked name=remember value=1> Keep me logged in on this computer for the next 31 days or until I log out</td></tr> <tr><td align=center class="login_form"> <a href="?cmd=Forgot">Forgot password?</a></td></tr> <tr><td align=center class="login_form_bottom"><input type="submit" class="login_submit" value="Submit"></td></tr></table> <center><a class="bottomlink" title="Goto ELOG home page" href="https://midas.psi.ch/elog/">ELOG V3.1.3-7933898</a></center></form></body></html>

As you can see, curl only prints the login page of the logbook and no new entry has been created. Any suggestions what might go worng here?

Regards,
Florian

Using conditional attributes, posted by Adam Blandford on Sat Jul 18 10:38:00 2009

I have a logbook including the attributes: Author, Topic Date, Phase, Reference, Subject, Start Time, End Time, Duration

The Phase attribute has a number of MOptions including: Design, Manufacture, Testing, Results, Transport

I only want the attributes Start Time, End Time, and Duration to be shown if the Transport Phase is selected. I have tried using the conditional attributes

MOptions Phase = Design{1}, Manufacture{1}, Testing{1}, Results{1}, Transport{2}

and

{1} Show Attributes Edit = Author, Topic Date, Phase, Subject, Start Time, End Time, Duration
{2} Show Attributes Edit = Author, Topic Date, Phase, Subject

This works to show the attributes when the relevant Phase is selected but the Edit page shows the Phase options including the {1}/{2}. Is there are way that these conditionals are not displayed?

Also, I would like the "Duration" Atrribute to be a calculated value showing the time difference between Start Time and End Time. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Adam
