Re: Auto save?, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Jul 1 09:39:52 2013

Hi,

One question, is possible activate auto-save while write a new "ticket"?

Thanks very much.

It is not clear to me, what you mean by "activate auto-save".

Do you mean that you want to have the typed in data in your forms temporarily saved, to be restored e.g. after a crash of the browser?

This functionality has to be provided by the browser. I use the add-on "Lazarus: form recovery" for firefox, that works fine for me.

Regards Andreas

Great that you pointed out this possibility. I saw that Lazarus Form Recovery is even available for Google Chrome and it works fine. It however works only for the "EL Code" and "plain" encodings. In the "HTML" edit box it does not work (probably some collision with the FCKEditor). If anybody has an idea about this, please post it.

Hi Stefan,

that reminds me of something: you've wanted to upgrade from the obsolete FCKEditor to the successor CKEditor. That would allow to use the cool editor for math formulas: http://www.fmath.info/plugins/CKEditor/demo.jsp

Cheers, Andreas

Re: Export entries to XLS or CSV?, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Jul 4 15:27:13 2013

Yes, you're right: the text field is only exported in XML and Raw mode.

It is questionable how EXCEL should cope with HTML or ELCode output from the text fields.

But I admit that this would be a useful feature for logbooks that only use plain text entries. And it is simple to implement.

I've attached a patch to elogd.c from elog-2.9.2-2081 that adds a third CVS mode 'CSV (";" separated) + Text'.

(This string has not yet been added to the localization.)

As far as I've tested it works fine to import the text to OpenOffice and EXCEL, even with multiple text lines and HTML code in the text.

Of course the spreadsheet programs just display the HTML source.

Stefan, do you think this should be added to the official branch?

Hi Jim, can you confirm that this works for you? If so, I'm willing to incorporate the patch into the distribution.

Has this been added yet?

I don't have the means to create an executable for Windows, if someone does I can give it a try...it sounds/looks like it will work.

Thanks!

Hi Jim, I've incorporated the patch to our production server about a week ago.

I've agreed with Stefan that he'll add it, when it proved to run stable for a while.

Until now it appears to work fine. I think Stefan will add it to the distribution soon.

But I won't touch any Windows systems, you'll need to wait for someone else to compile it for you.

Maybe some skilled Windows user want to give it a try: i've attached the changes in the elogd.c file from v2.9.2-2481,

the modified file can be currently downloaded from http://people.web.psi.ch/luedeke/public/tmp/elogd.c

Re: elog's image manipulation of .png file generated from a pdf/jpg, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Jul 19 14:03:29 2013

Hi Stefan,

I've noted that you did your test with a PNG while he was reporting about a problem with a PDF. I'll give it a try with your server

It appears to work nicely.

I would suggest that the reporters of the issue add a little bit of information, like the version of the operating system, of ImageMagick and if the problem occurs with only a specific browser, etc.

Regards

Andreas

Cool: while it worked fine when I've created the entry, it stops working when I EDIT the entry that had been rotated! Actually it sometimes works and sometimes not.

As a workaround you can always go to "1:1" and then retry to rotate. That worked here.

Andreas

PS: I've noticed that the thumbnail PNG file only updated in the List view after I did a reload. I'm using Firefox 10.0.11 ESR on SL6.0.

Re: How to remove "Remove user" button ?, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Sep 5 11:20:41 2013

Is there a way to remove the "Remove user" button from non-Amin users config page?

BTW Stefan ELOG is a Great Solution!

Thanks Mark.

Hi Mark,

I've had a quick look in the code: currently it is not possible to remove the "Remove user" button.

But a non-admin user would only be able to remove his own user account. Shouldn't a user have the ability to remove his own account?

Re: Importing XML/CSV, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Oct 9 09:19:54 2013

Hi Stefan,

I'm experiencing problems importing XML (.csv is not working at all for me).

My logbook contains 3 date-attributes besides the system DATE (entry time), date-format is defined as %d %b %y.
The XML file hold the date format "DD.MM.YYYY"

- During "preview" I see that all entries are listed.

- During the import I get the "wrong date format" error.

- When I review the Summary, I see that only the first XML entry (all 3 date-attributes hold a date) was imported.

- When I try to re-import the XML from the second entry (after removing the 1st entry from XML - this second entry hold NO date-value on one of the date-attributes) the elogd.exe crashes and I get the "Service Temporarily Unavailable" error page.

- When I try to re-import the XML from the modified second entry (after removing the 1st entry from XML - this second entry holds date-value on all of the date-attributes) the elogd.exe crashes and I get the "Service Temporarily Unavailable" error page.

Any suggestion what could be wrong? Is it the missing date-value?

Can you post your elog configuration file (elog.cfg)?

Hi Andreas,

I had to filter-out some other logbook. Please find attached the configuration section for the affected logbook "UMOWY".

Looking forward to your review.

Regards, Barend

Hi Barend,

I can confirm that this is a bug of the ELOG import function: if you have a field that is defined as type "date" or "datetime", then elogd requires the value of the field to be of a matching format.

It is not even allowed to omit the time in "datetime" format. If the field is not required in an entry, then it is therefore possible to create an entry that cannot be imported.

I've attached a minimal example elogd.cfg and XML import file to reproduce the problem.

I'm afraid you'll either need to wait for a patch, or you can add dummy dates for all your empty date fields in the XML import file. Just do a "replace all" with your favourite editor; in my example you would e.g. replace all "<D></D>" strings with "<D>01-01-1970</D>" before the import.

Cheers, Andreas

Import of entries from DOOCS eLogBook to ELOG, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Oct 24 12:09:29 2013

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
