icon5.gif   Escape emoticons in ELCODE, posted by Gernot Buselmeier on Fri Mar 20 14:33:53 2009 

Hi,

I want to write a text like "John:Doe" in ELCODE. However the ":D" is converted to a LOL emoticon. I tried various ways to escape this. One solution I found was entering "John\:Doe". However, the upper-case D is converted to lower-case: the result reads "John:doe".

 

Thanks for an answer and many thanks for providing ELOG.

icon5.gif   Storing Elog database files in version control (CVS/SVN/GIT)?, posted by Brett Viren on Mon Mar 23 19:30:09 2009 
Hi,

Is it possible to store ELOG back-end database files in version control so as to synchronize multiple ELOG
instances?

Has anyone tried it? Any obvious show stoppers to such an approach?

Cheers,
-Brett.

> Synchronization with SSL does not yet work. I have to find some time to implement it. Since you are already the second one mentioning this, it slipped higher on my to-do list

Please make this 3. We (Daya Bay experiment) are just starting to set up Elog and will really want this feature!

Thanks.
-Brett.

I asked this before learning about mirroring which sounds like a good thing if we can make it work with SSL.

I acknowledge that mirroring through SSL is highly requested, I will try to do my best to implement it. Doing it with version control on the back-end files is not such a good idea. After each synchronization you would have to restart the elogd servers, since they don't realize if the files got changed "under their feet". Furthermore, if you have changes on both sides on different entries for the same day, you have a conflict which you have to solve manually with an editor on the raw files. The elog synchronization works on the entry level, not on the file level. So if two different entries for the same day are changed on both servers, they are combined properly without conflict. Only if the same message got modified on both sides, elog reports a conflict and you have to choose one version or the other.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it in revision #2180.

I have a logbook I use to capture machine settings. There are many (~30) different attributes defined. I've defined the "Summary" view via "List display" in such a way that not all the attributes are displayed in the summary list, because there's no practical way to fit the 30 different attributes in 30 rows across the screen, and there's no need to have every attribute shown in the summary view. I would like to define something for the "Full" view that lets me put one (or more, but not all) attributes per line; much like the single-entry view does now, just with multiple entries. So a "Full" listing would look like

ID: 1
Attribute1: Value1
Attribute2: Value2
Attribute3: Value3
Text...

ID: 2
Attribute1: Value1
Attribute2: Value2
Attribute3: Value3
Text...

rather than
ID Attribute1 Attribute2 Attribute3
1 Value1 Value2 Value3
Text...
2 Value1 Value2 Value3
Text...
etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks as always for a wonderful piece of software!


This is not implemented, but I will consider it for a future version.

Hello Stefan and Elog fans,

Is there a way to find entries with the words program and error when then are not contiguous in the text?

Thanks,

Please have a look at

does this help? 

 

 Hello Stefan,

I am looking for the same answer that Yoichi was looking for.  For instance, could the text keyword filtering be looped so that the first group of results is then filtered by the next keyword?

--Mike

 

No, that's not possible unfortunately.
