Hi there, In the "Find" page, I changed the default of the "Show last" drop down box in the Entry Date section from the (unstated) "All time" to "Day", and added back in an "All Time" option at the very bottom.  This gives a default of searching the last day, and one has to think and select the period of time to search back on.

I did this on my 2.9.2-2475 version, recompiled and it works.  Two lines of code changed and even my cr*ppy coding was up to the task.  I don't know if Stefan would want to put this into the Master copy (I'll forward the changes if you want Stefan, but it's pretty easy if I can do it), but if you can edit and recompile (Eoin) I can tell you which to lines for immediate functionality.  Back up everything first, though!

This is an announcement for the ELOG version 3.1.0 being released just now. Among several bug fixes and an improved Drag & Drop interface for attachments, it contains a long awaited "autosave" feature.

Let's assume that you write an ELOG entry, and keep the window open for a longer time (like to write some shift notes over several hours). If your browser crashes or closes for some reason, you will loose your entered text. To avoid that, ELOG starting from version 3.1.0 has an autosave feature. Whenever you enter some text, it is saved in the background as a draft message to the server. If your browser is closed by accident, you always can go back to the logbook, click "New" and ELOG will tell you that there is a draft message and asks you if you want to edit it. When you edit and regularly submit this message, it becomes a "normal" entry and the draft flas is removed. In addition to the background saving, there is now also a "Save" button so you can manually save your text to the draft entry.

I have tested this to some extent, but I might not have seen all browser/OS combinations, so in case there is a problem, please report it here.

Happy Easter,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I am happy to see that you include the webserver authentication.
So I can now login at some other page and then access elog.
However, I would also need some means of logging out some where else.

For this I propose a new Configuration option "Logout to page" which redirects to another page if set and "Logout to main" is 0.

See the attached patch (against git HEAD)

Does this make sense to you ?

Christof

PS: Many thanks for the autosave mode,  I already used it ;-)
 

Good day,

I'm populating 2 fields based on the Option set in a third one.
It works, but for some reason, sometimes when I change the entry from one value to another (from 3/01/2015 to 26/03/2016) , the field "# Volume" stays at the first position 
(149) and doesn't get updated... I tried both with Chrome and IE.

I did know that I've read it summarized somewhere!
The changes with the different releases are documented here:
http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/ChangeLog

It is actually not so difficult to find: 
it is linked on the "Download" section http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download.html

"News for each version can be seen in the changelog (->http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/ChangeLog)"

And for version 3.0.0 it states:
- Create one logbook subdirectory pear year

I admit that version 3.0 has never been announced and the changelog is not mentioned in the announcement of version 3.1.0
Maybe we'll do better in the future ;-)

Hi,

I just implemented a different way CSS files are handled in ELOG. Previously, we had the default.css, which could be adjusted for specific needs. Some people did that (like myself). So I changed a few colors etc. When I now implement a new feature in elog, it might need a new CSS class which I put in default.css. But this means that people who have modified this file get it either overwritten, or do not get the new styles.

In order to fix this, the default.css is now called elog.css and is always inluded in any ELOG page. If one specifies a CSS file with "CSS = <file.css>", then this CSS file is loaded in addition to elog.css. So one can put only the modifications into that file and inherits all the rest from elog.css. If new features come in elog.css, the installation with the personalized CSS file will then get the new features from the new elog.css automatically, and just overwrite a few settings in the personalized file. Here is an example:

elog.css:

td {
  color:black;
  font-size:12px;

}

Personalized file special.css, activated with "CSS = special.css" in the elogd.cfg file:

td {
  font-size:18px;
}

This personalized file now overwrites the font size from elog.css to 18 pixel, while maintaining all the rest from elogd.css.

The modification is committed to GIT and will be contained in the next release of elog.
