Hi everyone,
we have formerly used the DOOCS eLogBook from DESY for a couple of years for some application at our large
research facilities. Now we have standardized on ELOG and I've got a request to import the old DOOCS eLogBook
data into the new logbooks.
I've looked into it and the import appears to be fairly straight forward. I have two questions to the community,
before I start to program an import script:

1) Has anyone created such an import function already, and if the answer is yes, can I have it?

2) Would anyone else be interested in such a "cross logbook import", and if yes, what are your requirements?

Thanks
Andreas

Hello,

i have problems with importing csv files. What i want to do is the following:

Import a list of log entries from a csv file with another date like the actual date

I tried to do this but the only thing which happend was that all the entries have the actual date in elog. Then i created a seperate Date column in the csv file an tried to import this.

It worked but in the default date column i have the import date and in a second date column i have the date from the csv file.

Is there a chance to get the csv column imported in the standard Date field? 

Or is there a possibility to hide/supress the default date field and only display the imported date field?

Thanks

Michael

 I am trying to import a CSV file in to a logbook. The Attributes seem to import fine but it kicks out the first 2 columns of data and shifts the data over to the left by 2 columns. Has anyone tried to do this?

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).

Hello,

I am using Elog v3.1.1. When entries contain embedded images, these images are attached to the email notifications but are not properly displayed in the body of the email.
Is it expected?
For example, with an image file myimage.png the email source code contains <img alt="" height="150" src="190208_143305/myimage.png.png" width="200">
Maybe the email should make use of the Content-ID of the attached image?

Hi Team,

I have set up Elog on the Ubuntu server using the compile and install method. I have installed ImageMagick and GhostScript along with that.

You can find "ImageMagick detected" mentioned in the service status provided below:

However, the ImageMagick was found to be not working on my logbook. See the below error on the logbook.

Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation

I have attached a screenshot for reference.

Please could someone help me how to solve this?

Many thanks,
Scott
 

Dear all, sorry for asking you another question, but today after I finally recovered all my logbook entries, I updated to elog 3.1.1 and now I have a problem uploading images.

This is what I do:

• Click on the insert "Image" button in the editor toolbar
• In the popup window I select the picture I want to upload and then press "Send to server". I see the file appearing among the attachments at the bottom of the message.
• I click OK, but the popup complains that the Image Source URL is missing. Indeed when I switch to the other tab the URL field is open.

I have tried on your demo logbook and after the image is sent to the server, the URL field is automatically filled.

What am I doing wrong? With 2.9.2 it was working normally.

Thanks again and best regards

Antonio
