Dear all, 

I have a question about my logbook. I have recently added a new attribute to my logbook and I would like to prefill all previous entries with a fixed value for this field. Is it possible? 

Thanks for your help and best regards,

toto

Find all entries which have this attribute empty. Then click on Select, then select all, then click on Edit, then change all values. There might be a limit how many entries you can select in one go, so you might have to do it in bunches.

Thanks, it worked great! 

Dear All,

is it possible to write to the elog instead of the Command line throug a .dll

I presume you want to write from another program. You can call a command line shell (done via the "system()" command under C) which then calls the elog executable. If you absolutely want a DLL, you can einter try to compile one yourself using the fuctions in elog.c, or use the curl DLL with which you can also submit elog entries. See elog:68597 for usage of curl. While curl is usually executed from the command line, there is also a curl library containing the same functionality. See https://curl.haxx.se/windows/

For demonstration, I created https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/8

The Find search for category aaa(bb) does not give results.
A quick filter corrects the value to aaa\(bb) and delivers results.

I made a simple fix and submitted it as PR to the bitbucket repository.

I‘m happy to merge the PR after a quick test next week.

Dear all, 

we have a running elog installation using SSL (with the self-signed certificate). Generally we use the web interface, but we have been asked if it was possible to automatically insert elog entries via command line. 

elog.exe should be the answer and so I gave it a try.

I was trying the following command line: 

elog.exe. -h server-ip-address -p 8080 -l demo -s -v -u username password -a "Mass=0" This is a test entry

Of course server-ip-address and username / password were proper fields. 

When I was doing this from the server itself, I got the following message:

Successfully connected to host server-ip-address, port 8080
Possibly invalid certificate, continue on your own risk!

and then the entry was inserted, but when I was typing the same from any other PC I got the error message:

Successfully connected to host server-ip-address, port 8080
elogd server does not run SSL protocol

The entry is of course not added and also the server (that is running in very verbose mode) reported a

SSL_accept failed

How can I fix it?  

Thanks for helping,

Antonio
