I am on an experiment that used ELOG for all documentation and meeting notes. In our meeting notes we link to elog posts that had been discussed during the meeting. We had done this by hyperlinking the URL to the entry. Recently we had to move our logbook to another machine and so none of our hyperlinks work since the URLs have changed. I noticed that when one creates a new entry in the subject they can reference another post. Is there a way to link another elog in the body of the elog by using its logbook name and id number without having to use a URL?

Thanks in advance

Hey,

I am testing out automated entries using elog on the command line. The file I pass has html code for a table; the resulting entry shows the html code for the table instead of generating the table. Is there a way to make elog parse the code to show a formatted table?

Thanks  in advance.

Greetings,

In table list mode, I would like to control how much width is given to "subject" column (my attribute).   Can't find any method to control in config file.  Problem is that the subject is often quite long and jammed into a small width, when the text is often empty and has more width than needed.

Thanks,

Is there a way to create a "front page" or "table of contents" for a logbook?

While chronological entries are good and what elog was designed for, I find myself wanting a page to summarize important things
and/or link to important files that are somewhere in that logbook.  And, I would like to use the features of the elog editor to do (not just point
to another www page that points to the various elog entries).  For example, in an analysis logbook, you would like to have one page that
may summarize latest on analysis and point to best/latest plot/drawing of something and not have to re-search for it every time.

I think that start page with cmd to go to entry 1 (how do I do that?) may work.  Then I just keep editing entry 1 to point to latest info or
entries.  Will this work?  Will I run into a size limitiation if I attach too many files to that?   Is there a better way?

One could imaging using a wiki to do this, however, I never seem to get to updating our wikis... maybe I should just figure how to
get elog to do it.

Thanks.

Thanks for suggestion... it gave me idea for slightly different way to do it.  The method you suggest doesnt work that well to share in group (everyone would have to add that link in their bookmarks).. So I added this in config file:
Title image = <img border=0 height=25 src="bulb.png" alt="Summary/TOC entry">
Title image URL = <http:link to my specific elog page/entry num>

That replaces elog help icon with a link to TOC entry which can be any entry number.  One could make a custom icon and perhaps play around with adding more than one link (?).

Another thing that could do same thing and maybe more consistent with elog philiosophy would be to add a command that goes to a specific link or entry.... but this current solution works...

Bonjour,

tout est dans le titre.

Merci

For those who speak strange languages, I asked how to get a french version of elog.

By the way, this is my second mail because I forgot to give an icon to the first mail, and when I hit Back to do so, my text was erased. Bug or normal obnoxious attitude of my browser ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance Philippe  ELOG comes "internationalised": you just need to set your desired language in the configuration files. Language = french in the configuration file elogd.cfg does the trick. If you are capable to read the English language (which I suppose ), then I would recommend reading the manual, e.g. https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#global Afrikaans Albanian Arabic Armenian Azerbaijani Basque Belarusian Bulgarian Catalan Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Croatian Czech Danish Detect language Dutch English Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician Georgian German Greek Haitian Creole Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Icelandic Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Korean Latin Latvian Lithuanian Macedonian Malay Maltese Norwegian Persian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swahili Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Urdu Vietnamese Welsh Yiddish ⇄ Afrikaans Albanian Arabic Armenian Azerbaijani Basque Belarusian Bulgarian Catalan Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Croatian Czech Danish Dutch English Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician Georgian German Greek Haitian Creole Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Icelandic Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Korean Latin Latvian Lithuanian Macedonian Malay Maltese Norwegian Persian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swahili Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Urdu Vietnamese Welsh Yiddish Detect language » English   PS: I happened to have the same problem (text erased after "back") when I had javascript disabled in the browser. If you have it enabled, you'll get a popup window that tells you what mandatory fields are missing in your post. Then you'll not need to use the back button.

 Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I tried this (directly from de setting menu in the demo account as well as from the onfig file) :

I modified of course the text that could be modified directly from there such as menus and submenus.

I added Language = french, I restarted the server, clear the cache of firefox (IE as well), but list, new and so on appear in english even they are in the locale file...

Indeed, the manual is very interesting

concerning javascript, it is activated ...

Thanks again

Philippe
