csv import timestamp, posted by Ferdinand Gassauer on Wed May 13 22:03:37 2015
|
I have to import a csv with a date field, which represents the creation date
this date should be used as "date" timestamp which is set automatically, otherwise all entries get the current datetime as timestamp

Hi Ferdinand,
and that is exactly what happens when you import a csv file with a date field:
the creation date ($entry
time) of the imported entries will be used from the "Date" column in the file.
I've just tried it and it works like a charm.
Did you have any problems doing it?
Cheers
Andreas

Thanks
what is the format of the Date field in the csv file ?
My Date is date and not datetime. |

Hi Ferdinand,
"import" is meant to be used for files that have been exported with "find". Therefore it is not very
flexible with the date format.
Todays date should look like that: "Thu 14 May 2015 22:12:00 +0200".
You have
to convert your file that the date matches this format (BTW: I found this out by using the find - export feature; it may depend on a local configuration.)
Cheers

I came accross the admin guide and I was reading / searching for a way to sync logbooks across sites...
elogd mention "-m" and "-M" ... not elog but elogd... with that description :

"Leave Page" pop-up when "Submit" entry, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Tue May 12 03:25:45 2015

I have a little problem with elogd 3.1.0. The problem persists up to the latest ELOG version, even in the
development branch (V3.1.0-8196b81):

Thanks for the "boiling-down" of your config file. That helped me to reproduce the error quickly. It only occurs if you have a date/time attribute which
is hidden as a conditional attribute. This is a unusual combination, that's why I haven't seen that bug before. Actually some
JavaScript code checks the validity of the date attribute, but since it is conditionally not there, the JavaScript code crashes, which triggers the dialog |

Remote entries with empty messages possible?, posted by Edmund Hertle on Fri May 8 17:45:24 2015

Hey,
I want to submit an entry to elog remotley using the "elog" command. For example:

The "command does not respond" means that the program starts reading in the main message text from the console. You can type several lines
of text, and finish it off by hitting Ctrl-D (Ctrl-Z under Windows).
I see your point of having empty texts. Indeed the "" on the command line does not work presently, so you have to add a space as a |

Hi Edmund,
Stefan already supplied a fix, but you could as well use a workaround: provide an empty file as text. The following works for Linux:
elog -h elog-server-adress -l EO -a Fill=111 -m /dev/null |
Problem with autosave functionality when combined with no 'edit' button, posted by Thomas Lindner on Tue May 5 07:33:50 2015
|
We recently tried upgrading the ND280 elog instance to elog 3.1.0. [1] We seem to have some problems with this 'auto-save' functionality.
Specifically, it doesn't seem to play nice with the fact that we prefer to disable user's ability to edit old messages. So we have (up to
now), had the following set of commands specified in elogd.ccfg |

Hi Thomas,
just my two cent: as a quick workaround (for now) you could restrict editing messages to a short time range, like 30 minutes. That would cover
most cases of draft messages.
Restrict edit time = 0.5
But I agree that |

Arghhhh! Guess how many people asked me for the autosave feature! I worked really hard on it (including an airplane flight to Japan!), not the next guy
comes "can we disable that feature?". |

Re: Problem with autosave functionality when combined with no 'edit' button, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue May 5 12:05:47 2015

I changed the code such that editing of draft messages is always possible, even if the "edit" command is not allowed otherwise. Update is in
GIT. Please check if that works at ND280.

Subst Attributes..., posted by Francois Cloutier on Fri May 1 21:19:18 2015

Good day,
I'm new to Elog and I find it really nice and straight foward...
I still have a few questions that I couldn't address reading the manuals. |

Hi Francois,
welcome to the community! I'll try to answer your questions inline (Numbering them would have been a good idea ;-):
-
I'm creating a logbook with a lot of attributes. I would like to know if there is a way to name (display) my attribute differently then it's original
name. That way I could program $attrib1; $attrib2, etc, and map a name to display the column accordingly... Is it something possible ? |

Re: Subst Attributes..., posted by David Pilgram on Mon May 4 14:10:08 2015

Hi Francois and Andreas,
On Francois' first question, I wonder if Francois is using attrib1, attrib2... as the actual attribute names in the config file. If
this is the case, Francois, you can name attributes with suitable names in the configuration file and dictate which ones appear in the List and Threaded |

I only saw Andreas' edited version of the original enquiry, so I didn't see the orignal config file under discussion - so most of my previous
entry is totally pointless. Sorry about that.

Indeed there was a bug when you have "Show Text = 0". I fixed that in the current GIT version. I also hide the "Preview" button if
"Show text = 0" since it really makes no sense there. I made a Windows Patch 3.1.0-3 which
ontains this fix. |

elogd lost entry database without restart during file system trouble, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Apr 30 09:54:17 2015

I'm running ELOG since several years with rather heavy usage.
Last week I've upgrades from 3.0.0 to 3.1.0 and this week I had twice the same problem:
elogd lost the index for old entries and showed empty logbooks, without having restarted.

First, I can only fix problems which are reproducible. Can we do another power outage at PSI again?
But seriously, I guess what happened is that elog sees an empty directory when the AFS server
