Anyway if I have to wipe out ELOG and start over to have admin capabilities again, do all of my logbooks have to be rewritten? Can I import existing logbooks into a new ELOG?

If you start over, you can just copy the xxyyzza.log files into the new logbook directory and it should be fine. You can also change the config file in your current logbook without starting over.

Can you tell me how to stop elogd? I've edited that file several times however when I open ELOG in my browser the elogd is back like it was before the edits.

Best is if you edit elgod.cfg or the user configuration from inside the web browser (Click on 'config' on the elog page), then you don't have to restart elogd. If you do have to restart it, go to My Computer/Manage/Services, select elogd, then stop and start the service.

After setting up email addresses for notifications I noticed that the "Full Name" has part of an email address in it. I've tried several ways to correct this however it keeps sending me to a page that says "Password may not contain blanks" and I've not done anything with the password.

Can you tell me how to correct this issue?

I certainly appreciate your help!!

 Have you tried deleting and re-creating the account? Otherwise you could stop elogd, edit the password file with a text editor, and restart elogd.

You will not loose your logbook data if you have access rights to the file system where the "elogd" program writes it's data.

The easiest way is to edit there password file directly and then restart "elogd".

But even if you do not dare to edit the files directly, you still can solve the issue from the web interface:

  • Create a new account, e.g. user "admin2"
  • While logged in as "admin", make this user an administrator: go to "Change config file", add "Admin user = admin, admin2"
  • Now log off and then login as "admin2"
  • Check that you can do administration, then remove user "admin"
  • Create a new user "admin" with proper "Full name" and "Email"
  • Now log off and then login as "admin"
  • Check that you can do administration, then remove user "admin2"

That should work. Good luck!

 Fantastic! That worked great. Thanks so much for the help guys!!

 Hi

I just want to know if there is a way to upload a bunch of images at once. I need to upload ~50 images per day and of course it is really tedious. 

Thanks!!

The "standard" HTML protocol does not allow multiple selection of images. You can use the "elog" command-line utility to upload images from the terminal window. We plan in the summer this year a switch to HTML5, which does allow upload of multiple images plus a drag-and-drop functionality.

  67222   Thu Mar 29 17:30:28 2012 Question Rex Tayloertayloe@indiana.eduQuestionLinuxV2.9.0-243create "front page" for a logbook

Is there a way to create a "front page" or "table of contents" for a logbook?

While chronological entries are good and what elog was designed for, I find myself wanting a page to summarize important things
and/or link to important files that are somewhere in that logbook.  And, I would like to use the features of the elog editor to do (not just point
to another www page that points to the various elog entries).  For example, in an analysis logbook, you would like to have one page that
may summarize latest on analysis and point to best/latest plot/drawing of something and not have to re-search for it every time.

I think that start page with cmd to go to entry 1 (how do I do that?) may work.  Then I just keep editing entry 1 to point to latest info or
entries.  Will this work?  Will I run into a size limitiation if I attach too many files to that?   Is there a better way?

One could imaging using a wiki to do this, however, I never seem to get to updating our wikis... maybe I should just figure how to
get elog to do it.

Thanks.

Well, if you never get to update your wiki, you will you get to update your summary page? As you know there is no free lunch.

For my analysis logbooks, I do it such that I create an arbitrary entry in the logbook, where I put references to other entries. Using the syntax "elog:<id>" this is very simple like here: elog:67222. Then I put a link to that special page in my browser bookmarks. This puts me one mouse click away from accessing this page. You can link to other elog pages but also to page attachments this way, so no need to put too many attachments into a single page, although there is no limit on that.

Best regards,
Stefan

Thanks for suggestion... it gave me idea for slightly different way to do it.  The method you suggest doesnt work that well to share in group (everyone would have to add that link in their bookmarks).. So I added this in config file:
Title image = <img border=0 height=25 src="bulb.png" alt="Summary/TOC entry">
Title image URL = <http:link to my specific elog page/entry num>

That replaces elog help icon with a link to TOC entry which can be any entry number.  One could make a custom icon and perhaps play around with adding more than one link (?).

Another thing that could do same thing and maybe more consistent with elog philiosophy would be to add a command that goes to a specific link or entry.... but this current solution works...
