Any suggestion?

Dear Steve,

thanks a lot. Sorry but I am not expert of elog. I "inherited" from a colleague and wanted to see if I can keep it alive but to do it I would need to move to UTC. Should this command affect the "INSERT CURRENT TIME/DATE" button? It does not seem to change.

How do you believe that you can preset a Submission item? Preset only works for attributes, so you have to define an attribute like "Submission UTC" or similar and preset this attribute with

Preset Submission UTC = $utcdate

Dear all,

I am trying to have the elog timestamp in UTC time instead of local time using the following config file but without success. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

The INSERT CURRENT TIME/DATE button is not affected by this setting.

Hi Luca,

if you want to change all datetime properties to UTC time, then you'll just need to set the timezone on the server to UTC, before elogd is started.

Cheers, Andreas

"No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file"

Hi,

I started re-using after a month an elog on my linux machine and, without any apparent reason since I did not used the machine at all in the last month, every time I try to submit a post I get the following error

"No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file".

The weird thing is that today I created a new logbook using the previous one as a template and, on the new one, I can post without problem (although the configuration is identical).

Do you know what could be causing this?

Re: "No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file"

These problems usually come when you are using a different configuration file that the one you think you are using. Note that you explicitly can tell elogd to use a specific configuation file with the "-c" flag. Also make sure to restart elogd after major changes.

Opening a Local File using <a href="file:///../filename.doc">text</a>

I've created an elog where users can then enter links to a file: for example they would enter:

If they are running this on their desktops where everyones M drive is mapped to the same location, not a problem, the file opens perfectly.

The problem we have is some people work off of site and hence they run everything from a memory stick (USB drive), then once back in the office, copy the memory stick back on to the network.

Unfortunately when off of site the href link M: is no longer valid as the M drive doesn't exist.

Hence i've been trying to open a local file with the following syntax:

It just won't open

Hence in my frustration i basically copied the word file ABC123.doc into every single directory on the memory stick thinking surely this must work, it must find it somewhere, unfortunately not.

What am i doing wrong?

Re: Opening a Local File using <a href="file:///../filename.doc">text</a>

Linking to external files via "file:///..." is a bad idea, since only a pointer is stored in the elog. So if someone puts somehing on M: and the drive is removed, the file is physically gone. No way to retrieve it. Instead of puttting links to files, users should get trained to ATTACH the files to elog cntries (V3 of elog has a "Drop attachments here..." section. Only then the files are physically transferred into elog and accessible independed of your external memory stick.

Re: Opening a Local File using <a href="file:///../filename.doc">text</a>

Hi Stefan

Unfortunately this would become impractical for us as many of the test data files which we'd need to link too are Gb's in size, some over 100Gb, hence only the files needed to do a say an inspection of the equipment would be copied onto memory sticks. Currently we use an excel speadsheet to store hyperlinks to all of the files / directories we need - unfortunately some people forget to update this and it was asked could we do it using elog as people are familiar with this wonderful peice of software.

Hence why i'm now investigating - so is it actually posible?

Kind regards

Terry
