What happens if you execute the command manually, like

$ identify -format '%wx%h %c' '/home/elog/elog-2.9.2/logbooks/HardwareLog/140218_120423_2014-02-18_remod_(extended_II).png.png

The "identify" command just checks the size in pixels of your image and expects something like 800x600. Let me know if this command returns something completely different.

 G'day everyone.

Looking for some input on this idea.

I work for an organization which uses elog extensively for day to day operations.

In several of our logbooks we use a "location" attribute where we would enter an address or intersection.

I am working with the google places api and am able to create the auto complete form in a separate html page, but am interested if anyone has a good direction how i could change the input box into the google map autocomplete search box.

 

I have the code already for the api search box. but when i add it to the config it doesn't really do anything different.

Attached is the html file i setup with the api code.

the autocomplete works great, now i just want it to work in elog.

Any help is much appreciated!

And perhaps the Elog Powers that be might be interested in making it a function down the road? :)

Looks like a nice idea. You can sneak in any JavaScript code into elog pages with the "Top text" option. Like

Top text = <script>window.onload = function() {...}</script>

Then you parse the DOM tree to find your input field for the location, and attache your JS code to it. All the input fields have the "name" attribute in the HTML code set, so it should be easy to find the input field in the DOM tree.

Sorry for very late reply. I recently rebuilt our server. Elog 2-9-2, new machine, new OS (Ubuntu 14.04), new version of ImageMagick (6.7.7-10), but I'm having the same unresolved problem. identify -format from the command line returns 645x860 (as it should). Any ideas?

icon5.gif   New entries remotely?, posted by Daniel Roldan on Tue Jul 29 16:20:16 2014 

 Hi all,

I would like to create a new entry remotely.

I would like that when the macro run, the macro automatically create a new entry in my Elog.

I was searching, but i don't saw any thing about this.

Is possible to do a new entry remotely?

 

Thanks for all.

Use the "elog" command line utility as described here under tips & tricks: http://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html

icon5.gif   How to insert new entry between two entries., posted by Daniel Roldan on Mon Nov 3 15:28:41 2014 

 I would like to put between two entries a new entry.

My Users forgot to put a entry, and now they would like to put a new entry between olders entries.

For Example:

We have 10 entries order by Id:

300

301

302

...

 

They want to put between the entry 300 and 301 a new entry.

Is possible to do this feature?

 

Thanks!

There is nothing within elog itself to insert entry 310 between 300 and 301.  If you allow branching in your logbook. make a second reply to entry 300, and add in the missing details.  That entry will always be there as a reply to 300, but not obviously between 300 and 301.

From this point, any way to improve matters will require editing of the log files (default location /usr/local/elog/logbooks).  I should warn that editing these files can cause problems, including elog to crash, and spotting your error can take a lot of effort.  I speak from experience. I suggest that you have a look at a few entries, the layout of the entries etc first, and if you're still up for it I'll give a quick spin on how to improve the tidyness of how your entires look with 310 inserted between 300 and 301.

I should add what I would write only applies for certain for linux users, as it is my OS of choice.

You are using the entry ID to sort your entries: there is no good way to insert a new entry ID, like 300.5

But you could sort your entries by other means, that allows you to insert entries later between existing entries.

I use for example a "when" attribute of type datetime. Here's an excerpt from the relevant part of my config file:

Attributes  = ..., when
Start page  = ?rsort=when
Type when   = datetime
Preset when = $date
 
This sorts automatically all your entries according to the "when" attribute. "when" will be preset to the creation date, but you can change it if the entry belongs to the past between two other entries.
If you don't create entries every second, then you'll always find a date to add entries between two old entries.
 
Be aware that you should only add new Attributes only at the end of the list, otherwise old entries without the attribute may appear mixed up.

Andreas
