Is there any way I might be able to initiate the 'copy to' function by selecting a 'tick box' (boolean) or conditional attribute choice in an entry page when submitting that page? We have a requirement where we run a main 'Operations' log and have another log with some entries needing to be in both (for additional actions etc). I understand the Operator can always manually use the 'Copy To' function after submitting the original entry but was wondering if there was some way a shell script (execute function?) or similar may be activated by a boolean or even a 'conditional' choice?
Thx |
I put your request on the whishlist. |
Thanks Stefan. |

| Grant Jeffcote | grant@jeffcote.org | Question | Windows | 2.7.5 | Server derived time | Hi Stefan,
Is it possible to derive the time in a 'date/time' attribute from the Elog server?
We would like all our entries in GMT/UTC time and unfortunately as the time is currently derived from the client machines there are often entry descrepancies if the regional settings are not set correctly.
The '$entry time' variable can be used but seems to put a 1970 date in the field so bears no relevancy to an 'Event' time?
I'm also having issues with conditional entries in the Find page. If a conditional statement is used to hide attributes or change displayed attributes in the entry page then the attribute that is used in the conditional statement is not permanently selectable in the 'Find' page. It is available as a choice but as soon as selected the conditional action removes it? Is it possible to make conditional options/actions in the 'Find' page optional?
Hope that makes a little sense?
Many thanks |

There are several methods to get the server time:
Via presets of attributes
Attributes = Author, Event time, ...
Preset Event time = $utcdate
which gives you actually the UTC time.
Via the editor
The editor toolbar contains a little clock. If you click on it, you insert the current server time (but localized, not UTC).
Hope one of the two methods work for you.
The problem with the conditional attributes in the find page is I believe fixed in the current version.

Thanks Stefan, the preset UTC date works well. RTFM on my part perhaps. 
I'm running version 2.7.5.2127 and am still having the issue with conditional attributes in the find area as mentioned above though.
Is it the latest SVN **.2135 that addresses this?
Many thanks |

We have two logbooks, each with a different list of users.
The logbooks are open to all network users for read only.
A user with Write permisions logs into his designated logbook.
He then decides to view the other logbook, the one he does not have write permissions to by clicking on the tab to the other logbook.
He is immediately logged out of the logbook he has write permissions to.
He did not close his browser session, only clicked on the other logbook tab.
Is there Any way to keep that person logged into the logbook he has rights to without having the "keep me logged in Checkbox"?
Just like this site has Forum, Config Examples, etc.
Once you select another tab they are logged out of their logbook they just logged in to.

Have a look at this thread Hal, worked well for me: Link |

Hello,
I tried to update our ELOG installation 2.7.8 to 2.9.0. If I try to start the service i get the error:
Error 193: %1 is not a valid win32 application.
I uninstalled the old version an installed the new one.
Do you have any Idea? The OS is windows 2000 Server.
Best regards
Michael
Could not start the elogd service on local Computer

Can you start elogd.exe manually in a DOS box? If you get the same error there, the download file might be corrupted and you should try to re-load it again.
Best regards,
Stefan

Michael,
I had this problem with the service/elogd.exe not starting on the later versions of ELog and with Stefan's help we tracked it down to some missing Microsoft C runtime library files.
In my case it was a fresh install of Win2k3.
Try installing one the following and see if it helps (mine was solved with the middle option).

| Grant Jeffcote | grant@jeffcote.org | Request | All | 3.1.2 | Re: Cancel button missing when editing an entry | Andreas,
Doesn't using the Save Drafts = 0 option result in the old 'Back' button returning (replacing the Delete option) meaning you can revert back to your old (unmodified) version without saving, sure it doesn't save a draft but I'd rather be able to return back and lose the changes I didn't want then mess up an old entry, I guess the back button on the browser could also do what you want?
The issue I had was that entries were being deleted accidently by persons other than those that created them, I reduced the edit time to try and mitigate it but ended up going back to what we had in Ver 2.9.2, a 'Back' button.

The problem is that the elog database does not allow for a copy of an entry before you make modifications (and therefore get a "draft"). This is actually very simila to other note taking programs. I use Evernote, which constantly synchronizes between devices, and there I also cannot go back to the version before I started making modification. What one would need is a version system (and Evernote has one), so you can go back to the previous verison, the pre-previous version and so on. But this requires a complete redesign of the elog database.
A quick and dirty solution would be to store the origianal entry inside the browser (using JavaScript). You could then restore the initial version with a "cancel" button. But this mechanism relies then on the browser. If you just leave the page, there is no way the browser can put back the old version.

If I edit an old entry, and do some mistake while editing, then there is currently no way to savely discard the changes.
The problem is that the entry will become a draft: if I close the window without saving, then the whole entry is gone: it will be converted into a draft entry. But the draft does contain my changes, it is not the originally saved entry!
The draft mechanism should keep a copy of the entry before I opened it in edit mode, and allow to go back to that copy. The edit form has currently the buttons "Submit", "Save", "Preview" and "Delete"; it should have in addition the button "Cancel", that just closes the edit window without saving the entry and even deleting the draft that was saved while the entry was modified. This should bring you back to the previous list view.
Is anyone out there in favour of this change?

| Grant Jeffcote | grant@jeffcote.org | Question | Windows | 2.92.2 | Re: Tool Tips | Stefan, I know this request was a long time ago on an older version of E-Log (which we are still using) but can you tell me if Tooltips on Radio Buttons was ever implemented, it's not working on our version (2.92.2)?
Working as it should on MOptions?

Grant Jeffcote wrote: | I can't seem to get the Tooltips to show up using the 'ROptions' (radio buttons) though? Could you check if it is available for this please? |
Did I tell that it also works with 'ROptions' ??? It does not! I implemented this just now in revision 1788. The fix will be contained in the next release. |

Hi
I am trying to add "Extendable options" for some attribute as below example. However button to add new item for list appears only for the first "Extendable options", if disable the first with (;), button appears for the second. It means elog add new item button only the first line "Extendable options" not for other?
Is this a limitation or bug or am I doing something wrong?
Options Require = N/A, Camera{1}, Lens{2}, Other{3}
{1} MOptions Require Model= XNB-6001, PNM-7000VD, PNM-9000VQ, PNM-9320VQ
