Hi Stefan,

I was rather hoping that was *not* going to be your answer.

I much prefer the plain ascii file format, for it allows me to edit it for "mistakes" post submission, 
shall we say.

icon5.gif   Action after message submission, posted by Mike Zuber on Wed Sep 15 22:40:52 2010 

Is it possible to automatically go back to the list view in summary mode after submitting a new message instead of displaying the new message?

I know it's possible to display a page from a file after submitting a new message  by using "Submit Page = <file>". 
It would be nice to be able to use a command like "Submit Page = <command>" where I could insert "?cmd=Back" as in the "Start page" command.

Thanks,

Mike

I just implemented a new flag "List after submit = 1" which does exactly this. It brings you to the summary page after the submission of a new entry. I needed the function myself. The change is SVN revision 2327 and will be contained in the next release.

I attempted to remove the text editor (like you did in "Demo of database-like elog") using  "Show text = 0".

In both your Demo and my logbook when you hit  "New"  - Explorer generates the folowing error message

        Error: The Textarea with id or name set to "text" was not found.

Is there a solution or do we just live with it.

Thanks,    Mike

 

Thanks for reporting that bug. I fixed it in SVN revision 2188, and the fix will be contained in the next release. 

 I am getting the same message in the current version (V2.8.0-2312), if the "Preset text"  text body contains the equal sign '='. Then this message pops up and the HTML-editor dosn't show its menu bars, with the elog- or plain text editor this does not happen. It happens as well with firefox as with internet explorer.

 

best regards

Robert

I found a bug there, but am not 100% sure if it fixed your problem. Can you please try the current SVN version 2331? I made a new intermediate release elog280-4.exe for you.

What about using something like MySQLfs to get a db backend transparently to ELOG?  I use ENCFS, (a FUSE backend), currently to achieve encrypted logbooks and it works fine -- ELOG never knows anything other than reading and writing to logbook files.  From what I've read, the MySQLfs backend would work the same, and you likely would gain some of the caching benefits of MySQL, which might help with your read/search times, given the memory requirements of the database of course.

We have been running elog for a few years now and its solid. The only thing is we are getting to 140k entries over a few books and its starting to slow down whist searching. My questions is can we go to an SQL type database rather than a flat file? Is it worth it? Is anyone running this type of configuration?

There is currently no easy possibility to change this except manually changing the CSS file. But that requires some CSS and HTML knowledge. You would have to change the CSS class "listtitle2" and "summary".
