How to upload several images at once, posted by Alejandro Gomez on Wed Mar 5 03:58:51 2014

I just want to know if there is a way to upload a bunch of images at once. I need to upload ~50 images per day and of course it is really tedious.

Thanks!!

The "standard" HTML protocol does not allow multiple selection of images. You can use the "elog" command-line utility to upload images from the terminal window. We plan in the summer this year a switch to HTML5, which does allow upload of multiple images plus a drag-and-drop functionality.

Author drop-down menu length, posted by Kay Graf on Mon Mar 10 12:15:07 2014

I am handling several ELOGs for medium-sized collaborations (scientific experiments) with a large number of authors (~250) and chose to have single-user access and entries for every author - in the config file, the "Options Author"-List contains ~150 name for now.

However, the Author drop-down menu stops after ~100 names - is that a ELOG-webserver hard limit? I checked there is nothing strange in the author names following (no strange character, etc.).

I tested it on Firefox, Chrome, Safari - it does not seem to be a browser issue.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello Kay,

I had to look it up in the source code: yes, you are right, it is hard-coded in elogd.h

elogd.h:#define MAX_N_LIST 100

You can of course change the limit and recompile.

As an alternative, you could have sub-menus with less than 100 entries (disclaimer: the following is untested example):

Attributes = author_range, author, ...

options author_range = A-K{1}, L-Z{2}

{1} options author = Andi, Bob, Camilla, Dennis, ..., Kay

{2} options author = Lily, Max, Norbert, Oscar, ..., Zeta

Cheers

Andreas

Hello Andreas,

thanks a lot for your quick reply - both options are valid and working. For simplicity (the author list is generated automatically from a shell script) I opted for the first one.

Best regards,

Kay

I've written a powershell script parse a html table that contains old log book data that i would like to import to a elog book. I've attached a example of the output.

When i attempt a import i get this error

"XML file does not contain <ENCODING> element"

The file does contain an encoding for utf-8 I've tried converting the xml to ANSI and ISO-8859-1 encodings but i get the same error.

is there something obvious that I'm missing?

here is the config of the log book:

[WLTST]
Theme = default
Comment = Test Logbook
Attributes = Author, Object, Action
Comment Author = Username
Comment Action = What
Comment Text = Why
Required Attributes = Author, Object, Action, Text
Page Title = Test Logbook
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type

Hi Donald,

yes, the import function gave me some headache in the past, too.

Here it appears that <ENCODING> </ENCODING> became somehow mandatory. But it has a different meaning then what you expect: it is the type of code in the text field, one out of HTML, ELCode or plain.

(Stefan: is this needed to be mandatory? Couldn't you just have some default ?)

In your case: you can just add the XML code "<ENCODING> </ENCODING>" before the <TEXT> token.

My problems were always related to the date format: elogd is very restrictive about what date format it is accepting. that will be your next pproblem ;-)

I hope this helps.

Hi Andreas

That worked, thank you so much. now I'm on to a new error.

Now every time i try to do the import it crashed the elogd.

OS is windows server 2008 R2. I have the elogd installed as a service.

here is the even log:

Faulting application name: elogd.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51248707
Faulting module name: elogd.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51248707

Faulting module path: D:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\elogd.exe
Report Id: defc3f39-a3cb-11e3-9dd5-005056954c86

I have attached the Data file I'm using to generate the fault every time. same config as before. Any Ideas?

Anyone have any luck reproducing the error? or have suggestions on how to fix it?
