Good Afternoon

Im trying to automatically post an entry using information saved in a text file. I have followed the example in the users guide but i always seem to get a error message saying transmission failed. Lets say for instance I have a user named John and his password is Blue and he wants to log into a logbook called home from a textfile the command im using to log a message from the file is

elog -h localhost -p 8080 -u John Blue -l home -a Author=John -m textfile

I cant seem to figure out why i keep getting this error message. I even tried deleting the password file because i thought it might be an authentication issue.

Can anybody assist me please it would be much appreciated.

Hi

Im just curious is it possible to run more then one command using Execute new = <command> or will i have to run a script to run muliple commands.

I tried using '&&' to seperate more then one command but it seems that the first one only gets executed and the rest are just ignored.

Dear all,

Is it possible to have a dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed?

I would like to switch the template file depending on the attribute value (Type). 

If user already started editing the text body, on change (Type) he could lose this data. 

I'm using this example code :
Attributes = Type, Subject
Options Type = One{1}, Two{2}, Three{3}
Show text = 0

{1} Preset text = text1
{2} Preset text = text2
{3} Preset text = text3
{1,2,3} Show text = 1

I the attribute type change the user lost the data, because the text has been replaced.

Any idea about how to solve it?

Thanks!
Cheers

Hi there

Okay so let me explain what im trying to do. I have a table in a logbook (lets call it home) that the user fills
out. This information in the table is related to other logbooks (8 of them to be exact).
I want to propogate information from the table in the home logbook into the other logbooks. To do this I used
Execute new which runs my scripts. One of the scripts makes a call to the elog
client to submit the message. The problem is that this call to elog client never finishes because its hanging
waiting for the initial submit (one which triggered Execute new) to finish. The documentation
explained that only one submit can be processed at a time so i expected whats happening at the moment.

My question is are there any other ways to do what im trying to do?? In a nutshell how to propogate information
from one logbook to another autonomously.

Any advice and suggestions will be appreciate.

After submitting a new post, if the page is left completely alone,, it will after a few minutes prompt that the page needs to resend information.

This is the same prompt you'd get if you attempt to refresh a page that had session variables passsed to it. Example is attached.

Is there something in my config that could cause this?   This is a fresh install of the latest verison however my elogd.cfg file has been migrated throuh many installs over many versions, so it's very possible this is something following along.

thanks.

Hi,

I'm having an issue with Elog 3.1.1 on windows 10 not displaying all log entries (after a certain date) in a logbook directory.

The logbook is saved in a Dropbox folder and the entries were created on a windows 8.1 PC with 3.1.1 also.

I created an entry in windows 10, this created a new log file (new day) with a duplicate ID, deleted the log file and then the windows 10 pc displayed all entries.

Is there any way to ensure Elogd picks up all log files ?

Thanks & Regards,

Mike
