I attempted to install the newest version of elog on our site elog server from an old old version. Around 2008 I believe. I then received an application failed to initialize properly 0xc0150002 after installing the newest version. I then tried installing the Feb 2013 version and received the same message. Panicked, I rolled back our server to its state yesterday. I would like to update our elog software, anyone know why I am receiving this error??

Hi Norm. I have not much experience with windows, but I can give you my two cent on how to proceed:
- Check the old elogd version. It is shown at the bottom of your elog web page (this forum shows ELOG V2.9.2-2475).
- Copy your logbook data to a different PC, maybe your office PC.
- Then compile the latest elog on your office PC, run it with the copied data and access it as http://localhost:8080 (or whatever port number you are using)
- If it is still crashing: re-compile it using "make debug" and run it from a debugger (I don't know any C-debugger for Windows). Post the precise error message.

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

This is one of the rare cases where it helps to read the manual: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html#add  (You may need to upgrade to elog 2.9)
If you want to replace the old URLs with the new ones, you can edit the logbook files with the entries. The attached script allows you to do so easily. But be careful, try it on a copy of your data first.

Using:
regreplace "<old-url>" "<new-url>" *a.log
I hope this helps.

Hi Scott,
yes, every user can export entries using the "find" command.
Just select the export format in the first line

Detect language » English
I often use the XML Format, but CSV is fine if you just want to import the entries to some spreadsheet program.
I was shocked to find out that this feature has not yet made it into the documentation?!? But it is that simple to use that there is not much to document.
There is even an "Import" command, to reimport entries from a file. But this is tricky to use: if you have fields of type date or datetime, then you have to convert those fields in the proper format.
|
I tried EXPORTING logbooks as .csv but have not been fully successful. Elog seems to only export the data entered for various fields with the exception of the text field.
Here is an example export from my logbook (used to track simulator problems), I would like to also export the TEXT field so it can be used by my managers in excel...but as you can see there is no entry for "TEXT" fields...
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you're right: the text field is only exported in XML and Raw mode.
It is questionable how EXCEL should cope with HTML or ELCode output from the text fields.
But I admit that this would be a useful feature for logbooks that only use plain text entries. And it is simple to implement.
I've attached a patch to elogd.c from elog-2.9.2-2081 that adds a third CVS mode 'CSV (";" separated) + Text'.
(This string has not yet been added to the localization.)
As far as I've tested it works fine to import the text to OpenOffice and EXCEL, even with multiple text lines and HTML code in the text.
Of course the spreadsheet programs just display the HTML source.
Stefan, do you think this should be added to the official branch?

Andreas,
We do not have the current revision at the bottom of any of the pages. Is there another way I can find out the current revision I'm using?
Thanks!

Try:
/usr/local/sbin/elogd -h

This is the path for Linux, it is likely different on Windows. But you could just run "elogd -h" in the directory where you compile elogd.
It should print out the version in the first line. |

Hi there :)
I'm having a problem with the e-mail notification on my installation of elog. I'm testing the attachment upload with images, and it seems to work seamlessly. However upon posting, the e-mail notification sends a null attachment, instead of the image I would expect.
Is there an error log I can check for this? I started the elog process without the daemon option, but I can't see any error coming up.
Cheers,

This is one of the few exceptional cases where reading the documentation can actually help: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#global

You can turn on logging using the "Logfile=<filename>" command in the elogd.cfg configuration. With "Logging level=3" you see all elog access, but sending email is in the log anyway. |

One question, is possible activate auto-save while write a new "ticket"?

It is not clear to me, what you mean by "activate auto-save".
Do you mean that you want to have the typed in data in your forms temporarily saved, to be restored e.g. after a crash of the browser?
This functionality has to be provided by the browser. I use the add-on "Lazarus: form recovery" for firefox, that works fine for me.

Great that you pointed out this possibility. I saw that Lazarus Form Recovery is even available for Google Chrome and it works fine. It however works only for the "EL Code" and "plain" encodings. In the "HTML" edit box it does not work (probably some collision with the FCKEditor). If anybody has an idea about this, please post it.

Hi Stefan,
that reminds me of something: you've wanted to upgrade from the obsolete FCKEditor to the successor CKEditor. That would allow to use the cool editor for math formulas: http://www.fmath.info/plugins/CKEditor/demo.jsp

Hi Jim, can you confirm that this works for you? If so, I'm willing to incorporate the patch into the distribution.

Has this been added yet?
I don't have the means to create an executable for Windows, if someone does I can give it a try...it sounds/looks like it will work.
Thanks!

Hi Jim, I've incorporated the patch to our production server about a week ago.
I've agreed with Stefan that he'll add it, when it proved to run stable for a while.
Until now it appears to work fine. I think Stefan will add it to the distribution soon.
But I won't touch any Windows systems, you'll need to wait for someone else to compile it for you.
Maybe some skilled Windows user want to give it a try: i've attached the changes in the elogd.c file from v2.9.2-2481,
the modified file can be currently downloaded from http://people.web.psi.ch/luedeke/public/tmp/elogd.c
