`elconv' is just a simple tool to convert pre 2.0 log files to the current
format. (Well, after all these confusions, dropping it from the future
releases won't be surprising -at least for me- ;) You might try some
well-known text-processing tools ie. preferably awk or perl to make the
required conversions. But I think using comma or tab as the delimiter is not
suitable due to the content of logs. If all you want is importing them to
excel/word, you should play with the delimiter options of mentioned programs
before trying a solution.

Hi Recai. I have several requests of this kind. "Want to import/export to 
comma separated text" or "XML". So one option is to extend elconv to handle 
all kind of conversions 1.x -> 2.x, 2.x -> CSV, 2.x -> XML. An alternative 
would be to write some awk/perl scripts as you noted. The disadvantage of 
this solution would be that they rely on the installation of awk/perl which 
is not given on windows systems. But nevertheless, if anyone volunteers to 
write a conversion tool, I would be happy to include it in the distribution. 
If not, I can put it into elconv.c, but that could take until June, given my 
current work load.

when I choose the Spanish language, the command Copy To isn't allowed. I have had to change the language file and  change the line:

Copy To = Copiar a

Copy To = Copy To

That's strange. I just tried (even with Spanish) and it worked for me. Which version of elog do you have installed? Can you send me your elogd.cfg file?

In Version 2.6.1-6 the link is corrupted and look always like "http://localhost:8080/logbook/pag"


Well, in this forum the link is fine, so it must have to do with your special configuration. Can you try with the demo logbook and find out which configuration option causes this problem?

In this version, the above is true. It also has corrupted entries when clicking : Full | Summary | Threaded.

On MSExplorer and Firefox only a part of the link is shown in the left-down corner of the browser :
http://localhost:8080/?mo

No matter what button you click.

It should be : http://localhost:8080/?mode=full
http://localhost:8080/?mode=Summary
http://localhost:8080/?mode=Attachments

I'v tested is with the default elogd.cfg file which comes with the installation.

Something is going wrong here.

When importing a csv text file the above is introduced also.

Just installed the previous version :
====================================
[C:\Program Files\ELOG]elogd -c elogd.cfg
elogd 2.6.1 built May 24 2006, 08:59:09 revision 1688
Indexing logbooks ... done
Server listening on port 8080 ...

And the problem is gone. !!!!

problem is in version :
==========================
[C:\Program Files\ELOG1]elogd -c elogd.cfg
elogd 2.6.1 built Jun 13 2006, 08:43:21 revision 1691
Indexing logbooks ... done
Server listening on port 8080 ...

I love elog , for it's simplicity,
but will not upgrade to the lastest release untill this is solved.

Thanks for your detailed information. The hint with the two different revisions heally helped. I fixed that in revision 1695, and made an intermediate release 2.6.1-7. This will fix the problem. Can you please check that this is working?

While playing with TOP GROUP I managed to get elog 2.6.1 1660 on Solaris 9 to coredump. Since I didn't really understand TOP GROUP I tried a URL where I had http://elog.server.com/topgroupname/logbookname. Putting that logbookname at the end caused elog to dump.

Can this be reproduced by others?


No. This forum has the "elog" as the top group, "Forum" as the logbook, so if I write

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/elog/Forum

it does not crash.
