icon5.gif   How does SVN info get placed in source?, posted by Tim Thiel on Wed May 23 05:29:35 2012 

In the elogd.c file nearly at the very top is the following line:

char svn_revision[] = "$Id: elogd.c 2411 2011-04-01 14:39:35Z ritt $";

How does this information get into the source file?  Is it a script used when the svn changes are committed, or perhaps when they are checked out?  Any details or pointers to info on the web would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thank you all of you for your notes ...
Anyway I have no time at the present to debug this ... at the level of configuration file.
I discovered however that the Incognito Mode of Chrome does NOT seem to have this problem??
Chrome version is 41.0.2272.101

Don't know why ??? ... tried disabling all of the added extensions in chrome but to no avail.
Don't know what else can be different in both modes.

The (correct) display tells me that the colours are user-defined, probably by the configuration option

Style <attribute> <value> = <style>

which selects different styles for different rows. Now I do not know why your browser should change behaviour all over sudden, but I would double check the configuration. Like removing all style additions in the config file, then try again, then add one by one. There could also be a class defined with the "style" option which has not been added to the default style file themes directory of the elog installation.

Just my two cent:
the content of a particular entry can change the rendering. If you have an HTML end tag like </table> or </font> in your entry, then the display after that entry may be spoiled.
You could try to select the very same entries in both browsers, to see if it does depend on the specific entry content.
If the problem persists, then I would suggest that you post the following:
- a minimal configuration for a logbook that reproduces the problem; and
- the actual entries, exported in XML or RAW format; and
- screenshots on how it displays with IE (add version number) and with Chrome (add version number).

Cheers

icon5.gif   upgrade problem, posted by Tim Schelfhout on Tue Mar 15 19:53:55 2016 

Hello there,

After several years of great ELOG usage I decided to upgrade our ELOG server.  I am using it to keep 
a logbook of my students.

ELOG runs as a windows service but since I cannot access or change windows services (only have access to the
ELOG directory) I upgraded by installing the executable to my laptop then copying the new ELOG version over the server installation.  

Tried this first on my laptop going from V2.9.2-2475  to the last version 3.1.1 and this worked without a problem.

When I tried to reproduce this on the server  all the data is there but ELOG displays it as if no theme was installed. (using the default
by the way)  No colors, no formatting
... at first I thougt this was because the copy was not complete but a second try reproduced the same result???

Tried going back to the old version but then ALL data was gone (structure and all logbooks still there, but data in logbooks gone) ....
Used -v switch to debug and the logging displayed an MD5 hash mismatch, so the logbooks could not be opened.  A restore fixed this ....
I guess upgrading means changing the logbook structure?

Anyway does anyone have any idea why the upgrade loses formatting ??  Tips are welcome

Hello,

Is it possible to edit the entire elog config file via the elog frontend?  I see the config button 
on some screens but it only allows me to change user and password??

Thankx

icon5.gif   javascript?, posted by Tim Schelfhout on Mon Sep 4 11:56:47 2017 

Is there anyone out there who can help me get started using javascript in elog ?  Is there an example somewhere ... i suppose you put the code in the
scripts folder?

Basically I am trying to calculate age of an added person in the database and display it after the birthdate field.  I  want to do other stuff, but once I know how 
the interaction is done I can proceed.

Thankx heaps

Great job btw with this ELOG ... been using it for years now.  I see you can add forms with html also, this might interest me for the future.

 

icon5.gif   Format Form, posted by Tim Schelfhout on Mon Oct 2 12:55:18 2017 ELOG_Kandidaten.png

Hello there,

I am trying to format my entry form a little bit more practical and readable. I am struggling with the following:

  • Numbers should be standard fields of 3 characters and can only be 3 characters wide (doing this by Format Leeftijd=1, css, 3, 3)
  • Text Entry fields should be max. width of 15 characters ? 

Also struggling with mutliple fields on one line:

  • Can Spacing between fields be controlled?  Even vertical spacing?
  • When omitting the css in the Format syntax, the fieldname and field gets colored dark blue
    .. found via css inspection a part solution using "Format Leeftijd=1, attribname, 3, 3",  which solves the field title
    but then the value still gets colored dark blue

Also I see that when one formats the entry field in edit mode it shows differently in list mode. (for example set width is not enforced in list mode)

Anyone ?

Thankx 4 the quick reply Stefan.  The link you provided does  not work .... could you point me again in the 
right direction?  Where can I find more info on this ability?

Thankx

The way and entry form can be customized is kind of limited in elog. You can use "format <attribute> = ..." to request a certain width, number of allowed characters and special CSS class (which of course you have to define). If you want a complete custom entry form, have a look here: elog:66909 . This requires however writing your own HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
