Hello

Using windows7 and the elogd 2.7.7 built Jul 31 2009, 13:01:20 revision 2246.  I noticed a bug in the tables created with fckeditor. When on winxp there is no problem. So it seems windows7 related. 
Don't know if I should post here or somewhere else. When i Click the table icon i get : 
When I want to continue ( Pressing Yes) i get

So the OK button is removed, and i can only cancel. So it's impossible to create a new table in elog. ( yes , create it by hand, but that is not so nice )
Download the latest version of elog : elogd 2.8.0 built Aug  2 2010, 12:16:05 revision 2312 . Just to see if this helps. The result is the same.
Is there some solution/workaround for this ?

Thanks for elog : it's great.

Hello Stephan,

the fckeditor is not running.

I have installed elog 2.7.7 rev. 2246 on windows xp.

I have not changed the default config after the installation:

Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type

I have started the elog server manually to see if the editor will start, below you will find the output:

elogd 2.7.7 built Jul 31 2009, 13:01:20 revision 2246
Indexing logbooks ... done
Server listening on port 8080 ...

How can I activate the editor?

Thanks,

Michael

 

Hello

Just a few fckeditor related questions. How do elog versions and fckeditor versions relate. ?

Can I just drop another version of the fckeditor over an other version?  What things should I consider when doing so ?

thanks for you're time.

The HTML layout produced by elogd is horrendous to deal with programmatically; I give up.

Hi,

I'm writing a greasemonkey script to slightly alter the look of the pages served by the ELOG server.  One difficulty that I'm struggling with is how to identify what type of page ELOG has created.  While I have several methods to determine the page type, such as a log entry vs. log entries summary, the solutions are not straight forward and not clean.  As far as I tell, there's no specific identification in HTML document currently that describes and identifies the type of page being served by the ELOG server.

So, I'm requesting that the pages created by ELOG be identified in some fashion with the META element, such as:

    <meta name="description" content="elog log entry" />

or

    <meta name="description" content="elog log summary" />

or even using the keywords attribute:

    <meta name="keywords" content="elog log summary" />

Thanks!

All,

I am using elog as an observation log for amateur astronomy. I have a form configured, but I would like to know if it is possible to make certain fields persist across new entries.

What I mean is this:

When I make an new observation, I select a value for sky conditions (say.. "1"). When I make another observation, "1" is already selected.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks

1.I HAVE A ELOG BOOK WITH TWO ATTRIBUTE 'FROM' &'TO'. I WANT TO USE A FILTER WHICH WILL SEARCH FOR A VALUE  IN BOTH ATTRIBUTE .KINDLY HELP ME.

2. HOW TO CALCULATE THE TIME DURATION  AUTOMATICALLY BASED ON TWO ATTRIBUTES 'START TIME' AND 'STOP TIME' .

I am testing Elog for personal and group use. I am starting with a Windows install on a PC. (I came across Elog when doing a shift on ATLAS at CERN.)

It took me some time to discover how to access a local logbook and create a new one. I suggest adding short sections in a prominent place in the guides:

User guide:

"Accessing a logbook: To access a logbook, point your Web browser at the appropriate URL. The default for a local Elog is http://localhost:8080/logbookname. Logbook files are stored in directory logbookname which is a sub-directory of the logbook root directory, defined by the administrator. See the administrator guide on how to create a new logbook."

Admin guide:

"Creating a logbook: A logbook is created in three steps: 1) The logbook root directory is defined as an option of the elogd start command; 2) A sub-directory, of the logbook root directory, named logbookname is created; and 3) The elogd.cfg file is edited to define the logbook's attributes and options. No files are created in the sub-directory; that is done when entries are made."

hello, 

i need to use a perl script with LWP to automatically update our elog
entries. we use ELOG internally.

however, I am not sure what elog checks for when doing the post through
form. and the auto-submit script always failed and returns "200 EOF". i can
get to the login part and grab form entry. its only the submittion failed.

let me know if you need more info to help me solve the problem.

thanks.
