Hi,
I have a question regarding how to perform a multiple-keyword search.
For example, when I want to find entries which contain two keywords "abc" and "def" in the body text but in an unknown order,
one way I came up with was to use a regular expression like this.
(abc|def).*(abc|def)
But this will also match entries containing two "abc" or two "def".
The following one will eliminate this problem.
(abc.*def)|(def.*abc)
But when I use more than two keywords, this type of regular expressions becomes very long (because I have to list all the permutations of the keywords) and it may not fit in the search text field (there seems to be a limit on the length of the search text).

Is there any way to allow multiple-keyword search easily ?
It would be nice if I can just enter two or more keywords separated by white spaces and elog finds entries containing all the keywords.

Thanks,
Yoichi


Dear Yoichi,

well we are facing the same problem and I would like to ask you if you have been able finding another method searching for keywords in documents?

I am looking forward to getting feedback. Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Best Regards

The HTML layout produced by elogd is horrendous to deal with programmatically; I give up.

 


 

Hi,

I'm writing a greasemonkey script to slightly alter the look of the pages served by the ELOG server.  One difficulty that I'm struggling with is how to identify what type of page ELOG has created.  While I have several methods to determine the page type, such as a log entry vs. log entries summary, the solutions are not straight forward and not clean.  As far as I tell, there's no specific identification in HTML document currently that describes and identifies the type of page being served by the ELOG server.

So, I'm requesting that the pages created by ELOG be identified in some fashion with the META element, such as:

    <meta name="description" content="elog log entry" />

or

    <meta name="description" content="elog log summary" />

 

or even using the keywords attribute:

    <meta name="keywords" content="elog log summary" />

 

Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't yet have time to implement your request.

Have you considered to download an entry in plain text? Like this entry you can load with

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/66555?cmd=Download

which should be much easier to interprete. If you write your entries in ELCode or plain format, it should be even easier. 

icon5.gif   "Collapse to last = 1" problem when reply twice to the same entry, posted by Gabriele Sirri on Sat Oct 24 01:10:24 2009 
Hello.

Please look at the entry 66525 of this forum (just 5 thread before this one):

 ->  chain.crt, posted by Gerhard Schneider on Thu Sep 3 21:55:52 2009         (66525)
  |->    Re: chain.crt, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Sep 4 08:33:16 2009       (66526)
  |->    Re: chain.crt, posted by Gerhard Schneider on Wed Oct 7 07:56:52 2009 (66556)

When you collapse the thread, it is collapsed to the 66526 instead of the 66556 (more recent)

  +      Re: chain.crt, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Sep 4 08:33:16 2009  

I guess it is because both 66526 and 66556 replies to the first entry. 
I have the same problem with Elog v2.7.7-2246 and Windows. 

In general, it seems to work well only if you always reply to the last entry of a thread.

  Thank you.


b.t.w. : is there any tip to always force reply to the last entry of a thread?

As the person who suggested this concept, I have to admit I've yet to think of a good way around this issue. 
Preventing "branching" is all very well, but sometimes it is relivent to have a branch (although I usually try to
avoid them).  Unless elog scans every possible branch to find where the latest entry, I cannot think of a
foolproof, practical scheme.

I fixed that in revision 2269. So now elog scans a complete branch and searches for the last entry in the branch. 
You can check again the branch above on the forum, should work now.
icon5.gif   Any way to paste clipboard into entry?, posted by Erik Iverson on Thu Jan 7 21:41:43 2010 
Is there any way to directly paste an image from a Windows clipboard into an elog entry page?&nbsp; It's obvious
for uploading a file, but many of my users say that they never make a file, they just want to paste in an image
already onscreen.

This is a limitation of the FCKEditor used inside ELOG, and actually of the whole browser concept under Windows. 
There are some extensions to Firefox which let your paste an image as an attachment, but none for doing this right 
into the text body. For some discussion about this have a look at

http://forums.developer.mindtouch.com/showthread.php?t=188

for example.
