• you need to copy your logbooks into the "logbooks" directory.
• you need to copy your elog.cfg logbook config file to the new elog folder and reference it at start-up (something like "elogd -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg ...")

Some people modify other stuff (CSS, java scripts) but if you had you would know what you did.

If the old ELOG was a 2.x version and the new is 3.x, then on the first start-up all logbook data files are copied into sub-folders for each year.
This is only done (automatically) during the first start-up, afterwards you can not use a 2.x version anymore (you won't want that anyway).

Hello,

I'm working on new logbook and in one category I'll have many attributes (many more than in attached screenshot).

So here is my question. Is it possible to visually group such attributes with some border, or something like that?

In screenshot you can see what I want to achieve.

Best Regards

Daniel

Nope, this is not possible. Sorry.

Dear colleagues,
Can someone compile an up-to-date windows-version or write a manual how to do it in Windows without compiling errors?
Thank you.

All,

I would like to know if there is a way in elog to populate a field based on the value of another field. What I want to do is have a field with a few selections (a menu) and another text field that populates based on what I select from the menu.

Is this possible?

Look in the manual under "conditional attributes"

I'm running  Elog version V3.1.4-ba84827 on Red Hat Linux 7.9. As part of migrating from an older in-house logbook to Elog, I need to upload all the old logbook entries. However, when I attempt to do that with the "elog" command line tool, I'm getting the error "command Submit not  allowed.

I read through a similar report from 2015 (entry #68149), but none of the potential causes seem to be at play here. The logbook is using PAM authentication, and I can log in to the web interface using the same credentials I'm using from the command line. The other case mentioned a dis-allowed encoding format, but my logbook is configured to allow all formats.

This is the command line I'm using:

/usr/local/elog/bin/elog -v -h logbook.aps.anl.gov -p 8081 -l On_Call -x -n 2 -a Date='10/19/2020 01:02' Author="David Wallis" Title='Test Upload' Status='Open' System='On-Call' -u 'wallis' '*****'  "This is a test message"

Hello,

How can one add an attachment to a new or existing entry with py_elog?
E.g. if I want to upload an image.

Thanks for the help!
