I just ran into this little bug: I had defined a new logbook in my config file and suddenly got the message Attribute "Date" not allowed. While I did have several attributes starting with the word "Date" (e.g. "Date In Service", "Date Retired") I had no attribute "Date" in there. After some pondering and wildly commenting out lines, it finally dawned on me: I had used an attribute "ID" - which is also not allowed. However, it would be very helpful if the error message actually reflected that...

Oops, just a typo. The message Attribute "Date" not allowed should read Attribute "ID" not allowed. Fixed in the current SVN version. |

Just to say that this bug was fixed some time ago - I don't remember when (a senior moment).
I know because I reported it to Stefan (along with the rest of the universe), as it was appearing
on this forum when it was running on that particular SVN version.
If you update to the latest version of elog, all will be fine.
David.

When replying on a reply, the author is set to the author on the original reply? Othervice it workes great!
part of code:
...
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
Subst on reply author = $long_name
...
|
I use:
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name

What you need is an entry in the elogd.cfg file:
Manu commands = Back, New, Reply, Find, Config, Logout, Help
As you see, the "Edit" and "Delete" commands are missing here and therefore
do not get displayed. So you can enter a message with "New", but you cannot
change it afterwards. |

Does this truly disable the edit command or just hide it?

You're right! In some earlier versions, it did disable it, but in 2.2.5 it
just hides it. I fixed that bug and from 2.3.0 on it will really disable
that command again, such that if someone enters manually
http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Forum/202?cmd=Edit
will produce and error if the command is not in the menu list. |

Re: Write by a .dll instead of the elog.exe, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue May 21 17:20:19 2019

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/

Re: Working Ubuntu 10.10 ELOG binaries, posted by Louis de Leseleuc on Wed Jan 26 19:38:58 2011

Hello,
Can anyone please send me, or publicly provide, working Ubuntu 10.10 binaries (64-bit) for ELOG?
I have compiled and installed the program. While the core functionalities are OK, I have run into irritating bugs in filtering and config editing that are not present in the online demo (but are in my local demo and logbook).
Hence I suspect compilation to be the cause.
For the curious:
- Saving the config within ELOG scrambles the elog.conf file
Theme = default
Comment = Louis's Lab Book
Attributes = Project, Type, Category, Subject
after saving becomes
Them = defaultt
Commnt = Louiss's Lab Book
Attribute = Prroject, Type, Category, Subject
- In the Find page, drop-down filters for attributes are ignored, but text is searched
- In the threaded view, Quick filters "dissociate" posts and replies, so that all rows are now in reverse chronological order
Cheers!
Louis

Hmm actually that last bug is also present in the demo. Any hope of fixing that?
True, some posts may not match the filters, leaving replies "orphan". I suggest that any orphan reply be either attached to the nearest upper level, or if not possible, be styled as a post instead of a reply (no arrow or indent) so as not to mistake it for a reply to the message above.
The benefit would be to be able to follow threads matching certain categories. |
