Preset Text?, posted by Grant on Mon Apr 9 15:02:24 2012
|
Hi Stefan,
I'm having a problem with 'Preset Text' now behaving differently in the latest release (2.9.1)?
My config file for example has always had: 'Preset Text = This is a test.', previously 'This is a test' was put
verbatim into the text area, now it seems to think whatever follows 'Preset Text =' is always a file and I end
up with 'File <i> This is a test. <i> cannot be found'?
I did notice a 'Print warning if "preset text" file cannot be found' line in the latest release notes, does this
now mean wherever I have used the method above I will now need to make a text file to match?
I'm using them embedded in conditional attributes if that makes any difference?
Thanks for your help. |

Import a CSV, posted by Ben on Mon Apr 2 15:46:59 2012
|
I am trying to import a CSV file in to a logbook. The Attributes seem to import fine but it kicks out the first 2 columns of data and shifts the data over to the left by 2 columns. Has anyone tried to do this? |

The CSV file must be wrongly formatted. But I don't see it I can't tell you what's wrong. |

RSS Feed, posted by leen smit on Thu Mar 29 13:01:26 2012

Hi All,
Just a quick message in the hope of helping other find an answer to the question: How to reach the RSS Feed???
I spend hours trying to find out what the correct URL is to reach the feed. The documentation on this is non-existent - at least we could't find this anywhere in the docs.
Answer: Just add elog.rdf at the end of the URL of the logbook!!
eg. http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/elog.rdf

Actually the browser should show an RSS icon to help you subscribing to it. In Firefox 3 that was at least the case. Now they removed it. See here for a fix:

For other browsers it might be similar.
Best regards,

I've just tested with Firefox, Chromium and IE, but no such icon appears. And for me this icon doesn't really help at all, as I'm using the feed to parse the logs
Besides, there is no mention of this Addon in the documentation, so the problem is still there: there is no easy way to find the feed URL.

Looks like the icon has disappeared in current versions of the browsers. I added a paragraph to the description:

Elog on Windows Server 2008 R2, 64 bit, posted by Alan Grant on Fri Mar 16 23:59:10 2012
|
Any known issues running in Win Server 2008 R2, 64 bit environment? We sometimes lose connection with the Elog app (ssl) and wonder if due to 64bit or other factor in this set up. A forum search does not explicitly reveal any clues however I did find an entry from someone posting a similar question without a response yet (#67061). |
Truncation of the displayed text in Summary view of the list of entries, posted by Olivier Callot on Thu Mar 8 10:01:47 2012
|
In the summary view, it seems that the text is truncated at the first "<" character. See https://lblogbook.cern.ch/Shift/48812 for a simple entry, then use the 'list' command to see that only a very small part is displayed. |

That's a feature 
In the summary view, I cannot use any HTML code, since it will screw up the table layout. Therefore elog searches for any "<" and ">" pairs and removes the text in between. In principle one could do a better job, but I do not want to write a complete HTML interpreter just for that purpose. |

Well, this is a choice. But if the encoding of the entry is 'plain', you could just avoid checking for embeded HTML. We use the summary view constantly for our main experiment logbook. Thanks anyway. |

Ok, I fixed that in revision 2442. |
