  Draft   Mon Dec 2 10:36:41 2024  Dr Marta Divallmarta.divall@epfl.chQuestion  Global change or links

Dear All, 

 We have been using the ELOG for several years and had inserted hyper-links instead of whole files in order to save storage space. From this months our server is moved to a new location with a new address. Is there a way for me to retrospectivelly replace all addresses with the new server file pass?

Thanks in advance, 

Best regards,

 Marta

Check elog/themes/default/elog.css and look for font-family.

If you just want the elog entries in monospaced font, you can swith to "plain" encoding at the bottom of the entry form. You can also make this a default (check the docu).

Dear All,

is there a way to choose the default "style" for the HTML encoding ? - I'd like to set it to "Typewriter" but couldn't find the corresponding option in the available docs/ sample config files...

is there any update on this bug? Has anyone else observed the same problem?

Hi!

I am not sure if this is a know issue: it seems that the equation editor does not work anymore. Is there any fix or alternative method to type latex formula in the log? 

Thank you!

Does this issue occur only on Ubuntu systems? as I've experienced the same on my Raspberry Pi 5 running Ubuntu too ...

We have observed the same issue. Did the CodeCogs api change? 

Thanks for the help.

I ran a test (using Windows) and you're correct about the subfolder and file naming. I don't think that'll be an issue, but it's good to be aware of. If we end up having to revert to 2.9.2 for whatever reason, I think it sould still work fine if what logs we have are just copied up a directory (i.e /home/logfiles/2023/23mmdda.log ==> /home/logfiles/23mmdda.log)

The difference in the directory structure doesn't matter for my purposes.

I use linux elog, and if you upgrade to v3.x.x, it's difficult to go back to v2.9.x.  This is because the log files get grouped in year sub directories at  v3.x.x.

In 2.9.x, the logfiles are store as (made up example)    /home/logfiles/yymmdda.log

In 3.x.x they are stored as /home/logfiles/2024/24mmdda.log   /home/logfiles/2023/23mmdda.log  etc.  I think I got the labelling of the subdirectories correct, Stefan will no doubt correct if I am wrong.

I assume the same is true for the Windows version as it would be weird for a split in the program by OS for something important but trivial to impliment for all OS. 

It's a bore to sort that out if you have to revert to 2.9.x - I know, I've done it -  but I don't recall any change in format in the individual yymmdda.log files with an early v3.x.x version I tried.  There may be additions to the log files made in much more recent v3.1.x or so versions, but I guess you are ok with whatever they may be as you've checked the change log.

Thanks. I did eveuntaully find the change log and made the decision to upgrade the at-sea machines. So far the configuration file we update for each mission still works. I have a copy of the 2.9.2 installer that if something catostrophic happens I can remove the new version and take it back, but I don't think it'll be a problem. We archive logbooks at the end of a mission, but each mission basically starts from a fresh install like state anyway.

On the other hand you don't really need a new system if your old installation works fine and you don't need any of hte new features.

The machines I currently have (we have several backup machines) are running elog version 2.9.2 and I'm looking for a change log, or feature list to determine if it's safe to update the at-sea laptops to the latest version of elog.

On one hand, I could leave things as they are and I'm sure it will just work, on the other hand, I hate seeing things get out of date to the point that something just stops working some day and there's no ability to get support for old software.

I'm already running elog 3.1.4 on my personal machine I use for configuration development and testing and it seems to work well. The config file is pretty simple and seems to work with 2.9.2 on the at-sea machines, but I don't want to run into any suprises if there ends up being a compatibility issue at sea.
