Hi Stefan,

I'm experiencing problems importing XML (.csv is not working at all for me).

My logbook contains 3 date-attributes besides the system DATE (entry time), date-format is defined as %d %b %y.
The XML file hold the date format "DD.MM.YYYY"

- During "preview" I see that all entries are listed.

- During the import I get the "wrong date format" error.

- When I review the Summary, I see that only the first XML entry (all 3 date-attributes hold a date) was imported.

- When I try to re-import the XML from the second entry (after removing the 1st entry from XML - this second entry hold NO date-value on one of the date-attributes) the elogd.exe crashes and I get the "Service Temporarily Unavailable" error page.

- When I try to re-import the XML from the modified second entry (after removing the 1st entry from XML - this second entry holds date-value on all of the date-attributes) the elogd.exe crashes and I get the "Service Temporarily Unavailable" error page.

Any suggestion what could be wrong? Is it the missing date-value?

I was wondering if anyone out there has had any success with importing XML data into ELOG. Using the XML schema which I derive from the EXPORT data from ELOG into XML format or creating the file from scratch, I either blowup the system and have to restart elogd or it doesn't work and says, XML file doesn't contain ELOG_LIST element (which I create and it still doesn't work).

Basically, I am trying to take spreadsheet data, convert it into XML and upload it as a logbook so I don't have to perform lots of data entry. I also tried .CSV but have had no luck. 

Any thoughts or ideas? 

Dear ELOG users,

this is to announce an important security update. As proposed by Lukasz Olejnik (CERN/PSNC), ELOG has now switched to strong encryption of password. So everybody concerned in security is advised to update to the new version 2.8.0. Existing password files for Windows users and Linux users not using HAVE_CRYPT are automatically converted. Those installations which used HAVE_CRYPT in the past under Linux have to ask their users to re-enter their password (via the link "Forgot password") after the upgrade to version 2.8.0.

Best regards,

Hi everyone,
we have formerly used the DOOCS eLogBook from DESY for a couple of years for some application at our large
research facilities. Now we have standardized on ELOG and I've got a request to import the old DOOCS eLogBook
data into the new logbooks.
I've looked into it and the import appears to be fairly straight forward. I have two questions to the community,
before I start to program an import script:

1) Has anyone created such an import function already, and if the answer is yes, can I have it?

2) Would anyone else be interested in such a "cross logbook import", and if yes, what are your requirements?

Thanks
Andreas

Hello,

i have problems with importing csv files. What i want to do is the following:

Import a list of log entries from a csv file with another date like the actual date

I tried to do this but the only thing which happend was that all the entries have the actual date in elog. Then i created a seperate Date column in the csv file an tried to import this.

It worked but in the default date column i have the import date and in a second date column i have the date from the csv file.

Is there a chance to get the csv column imported in the standard Date field? 

Or is there a possibility to hide/supress the default date field and only display the imported date field?

Thanks

Michael

 I am trying to import a CSV file in to a logbook. The Attributes seem to import fine but it kicks out the first 2 columns of data and shifts the data over to the left by 2 columns. Has anyone tried to do this?

I implemented experimentally RSS feeds into Elog. Before releasing this new
addition, I would like to collect some experience with it. This forum now
supports RSS feeds, for which you can subscribe with a RSS feed reader like
Mozilla Firefox. Please give it a try and send me any feedback.
