Hello,

I'm new to elog software and I could not find a solution to my configuration issue. I would like to setup a configuration file similar to MEG experiment's elog.

https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/meg/

I'm interested in creating similar to the structure: "General", "Collaboratoin", "Sub-groups (with sub-sub groups "Software", "Hardware" etc). I cannot tell if this was created by using Top Group feature.

Can someone explain how this design structure can be achieved?

Thanks,

Daniel

Ive got 2 issues which I cant see to resolve I was wondering if anyone can 
help.

Problem 1 - Since upgrading to version 2.3.0 I seem to have lost the some 
functionality explained below.  When i first log into my logbook (i only 
have a single one) it defaults to the summary view and the first field is 
one called Customer Name as opposed to # as i wanted the list sorted by 
this field, the link for that logbook entry is no longer available on the 
first field (being Customer Name) but only on the # field), however if you 
use Summary threaded view the whole line is a link.

Is there a flag or setting to the make the first field a link?


Problem 2 - no matter what i try in the config file i cannot get elogd to 
use stylesheets ive tried specifying and even editing and removing the 
default.css style sheet i downloaded but it just seems to ignore its there.

Any help or advice ??????

I was upgrading to the latest version and I wrote over my cfg file. I 
still have my database files. Is there a way to put the cfg file back 
together using the database files as a guide.  It did not seem to want to 
upgrade until I did this and I forgot to copy and then paste the cfg files 
back.  The latest version is now running. Before I did this I was still 
getting the old version number at the bottom of the main screen.  Also I 
have an RSS reader that can do user name and password, is this possible 
with Elog if the RSS reader has the ability?

Thanks

I guess this qualifies as two questions.

I've tried with elog-3.1.4-2 and git version, and I still have the same problem. 
If I compile with make debug, it works.

Is there anything I can do to help debug the problem?

thanks for your help

Hi,

Since few days I Notice that I've some data who disappear from ELOG (software).

I find them on ELog/Logbooks, but can't view them in the application ELOG !

Is there a solution ?

Thanks.
