icon5.gif   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.

icon3.gif   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,
Stefan

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:

icon5.gif   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).

icon1.gif   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. 

icon5.gif   Record Proliferation, posted by Paraic Fahey on Mon Mar 5 16:19:24 2012 

Saving, using Submit sees recently updated fields cleared after hitting SUBMIT.

MOre significantly this then leads to a proliferation of instances of the same record being generated in the logfile and consequently on the logbook.

Has anybody a fix or advice on this?

I have not heard of that problem before.

The key to fix is to reproduce it, then teach me how to reproduce it. Only errors I can reproduce on my computer I am able to fix.

Stefan

 Does this occur if you are adding an attachment?  As I am blessed with forever using ancient systems, I've seen fields and indeed text  being cleared  because they were entered between clicking on 'Upload' for an attachment and the .png files being generated and displayed.  Answer here is patience - I use all too much of mine up in this exercise, sadly.
