My config files are often large and use some shell scripting. In these shell scripting part I interact with files and execute scripts in specific folder.
It would be nice to have the ability to define for example a file path once and reuse it in different parts of the config file. It would help to make config files cleaner. For example:

Right now a Draft shows a red error indication, that the entry is currently a draft. For the CSS styling it uses the HTML class="errormsg". The same class is also used if an entry does not exist.

Would it be possible for the draft version to use a different HTML class (for example class="draftmsg")? It can also use the same visual style (or making it yellow would probably also work)

The reason is that the py_elog Interface uses the class="errormsg" to determine if an entry does not exist ( https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog/blob/master/elog/logbook.py#L394 ) and refuses to return the content for this entry. One could possibly fix that also on the py_elog part, but it would probably at least require parsing of actual text (which might make problems for translated pages). Alternativley one could also look for the edit button, but maybe a small change on the elog server side is the simplest solution to this problem?

Dear all, 

I would need your help with an incremental index with date information.

I want to have an incremental number made by the last two digits of the year, the two digits of the month and an incremental four digits number. 

Subst Number = %y%m####

The problem is that I don't want to have the incremental number reset to zero every new month, but rather only once a year. Is it something like this possible? 

Thanks for your help!

Hi,



We discussed on windows build some weeks ago and i tried to make one to check if it’s possible.

The result is in https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/69491

This could help you up to official new build.

Hi Laurent

I've found the attached zip files in post 69491. The one containing the ELOG probgram libary won't run on my test laptop - the service wont start
There is in the same thread a post from Just Keijser containing only the executables, and it won't start either. Starting the elog.exe though gives me that the exe is missing 2 dll files which can be downloaded seperately.
It is not easy cause there are several versions of the 2 dll files and only one working, but now my elog reports version ELOG V3.1.4-1ebfd06c

But this cant be the solution - if so the windows version is put to the grave

Kind Regards Finn

Hi Finn,

I've just tested the same archive on new laptop with Windows 11. 
I unzip it and double-click elogd.exe file, bypass defender warning and the server is running.
To test, i open localhost:8080 on web client and it displays the demo logbook.

Btw i didn't test it as a service. What are the 2 libs you said it misses ?
