  65677   Mon Dec 17 02:17:20 2007 Question Val Schmidtvschmidt@ccom.unh.eduQuestionMac OSX2.6.1Moving a logbook from one installation to another

I've attempted to move a logbook from an old elog installation to a new one on another system. The version of elog is the same (2.6.1) in both. Both systems have the same name and the logbooks are and installation are going in the same place. So all paths are identical. Also, for the new installation, I've simply recompiled the same sources used to install the original one. The only difference is an upgrade in the OS.
 
I've rsync'd the directory and contents from the old installation to the logbooks/ directory for the new one. I then over-wrote the standard config file with the new one. I then started elogd in the new place.
 
What I find is 
 
a) The default entry from the demo logbook is inserted into my logbook. This I can live with but it was unexpected.
b) The dates for all my entries as shown in my browser have years starting in 1946, rather than 2006. This is particularly odd since all of the actual log files have the correct dates. 
c) The numbering of entries has been reset to 1.
 
 
Can anyone explain what I've done to mucky this up and how to fix it?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Val

We have used ELog for some time now (within the IT industry) for several things (on-call tracking, after-hours work, knowledge base and a few other uses in development).  Now that we have a good base of data, we would like to do some trending analysis.  We have used Excel in the past for this, but it is rather time consuming.  Does anyone have recommendations for tools (hopefully open source) they have used?  I know nearly anything will since ELog uses flat files, but I'm looking for recommendations that you all know works well.

P.S. Thankyou for the response in elog:65671

This is possible since the beginning: Click on Find, then check Display full entries and Printable output and hit Search. You get then a single page containing all entries from the logbook which you can easily print to get a hardcopy.

I implemented this request in SVN revision #1974.

 

Thank you!

 Hi

I want to display an image on the title page and have put the following code into the elogd.cfg:

Welcome Title = <img src="pictures/ln2.jpg"><p><font size = 5 color=white>Welcome to My Project Log</font>

I have put the picture "ln2.jpg" in a pictures folder I have created in the root ELOG directory however the image does not show up. Any assistance would be great :)

Thanks in advance

Adam

You cannot put the images into a subdirectory. The above link "pictures/ln2.jpg" will translate into a URL

http://<your server/pictures/ln2.jpg

and there the path pictures will be taken as a logbook name, and the server will complain that this logbook does not exist. Unfortunately you cannot see this error message since it happens during the loading of the picture, and the browser just displays a broken picture link. So put your image into the root of the elogd server and it will be fine.

Hi Adam,

You might double check your file names vs. HTML tags. It appears in your example above that your HTML tag is requesting a file named: "1n2.jpg" and your image file name is "In2.jpg". Please note that in the first case the file name starts with (1) a numeral one and in the second case the file name start with a capital (I) a capital I.
