 | Frank Baptista | caffeinejazz@gmail.com | Question | Windows | 3.1.2 | Re: Logbook architecture and availability |
Sorry -- dumb mistake. I moved the "theme" files to the resource folder. Works like a champ...life is good!

I've got things working - sort of. Ran into one strange problem that has me scratching my head. I have two different laptops, each running a local instance of their own logbook. Both are functional, but for some strange reason, one looks great, and the other is missing its graphic format. I've attached a screen capture of that logbook, and a copy of the config file. Do you see something that I've done wrong?
Thanks,
Frank

Thank you again -- very much appreciated!

I would call the laptops the "master" being responsible for pushing data to the central server which you can call "slave"

Thanks Stephan! I guess I was making it harder than it is. I'm still a little fuzzy -- in this instance, am I correct in saying that each laptop would be considered a "master", and the remote (network) server considered the "slave"? Also, I'm not sure quite sure -- which server should be assigned responsibility for performing periodic synchronization between the laptop and the central elog server?
Thanks again for all you do -- Happy Holidays!

Sure that's easy. Install elog on each laptop separately, so they run without network. Then, set up a central elog server, and use "mirroring" as explained in the documentation at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#mirroring
So when ever the entwork comes back, you execute a manual mirror operation, and your new entries will be pushed to the central elog server.
Best,
Stefan

I have a setting which makes ELOG a perfect solution, but there's a situation that I'm struggling to get my head around. We have 3 separate laboratories, each one containing a number of temperature chambers, which run almost constantly over a number of shifts. Each temperature chamber has it's own logbook (laptop). So far, pretty simple.
My dilemma is, our network goes down for maintenance/updates (more often than I'd like), but our operation cannot afford to stop during network interruptions.
With that said, I thought about whether I could run a "local" logbook on each laptop/chamber, and somehow mirror the local logbook to the main ELOG server.
Perhaps I'm over-thinking this...do you have any recommendations?

 | Finn Junker | fj@tvis.net | Question | Windows | 3.14 | Unwanted double entries eg. double clicking submit button |
I'm having a minor issue that were getting double entries due to the user is using the "submit" button more than once.
I seems like when there is a lag either on the machine or on the network it is possible to tap the "submit" button more than once resulting i a double or triple entry containing the same text and a almost identical timestamp.
Is there a way to aviod this?, my "solution" so far has been to select the entries and manually delete them. I'm using Elog version 3.14
Kind Regards Finn |

I too have this as an occasional issue, although in my case due to a dodgy pointer. I too manually delete the entries.
Interestingly, it gives double entries - and thus the start of a branch - even in logbooks were branches are not allowed.

I just committed some code which disables the "Submit" button after the first click and replaces the text with "Please wait...". So double submits should not be possible any more.

I'm also happy to see this change implemented as we've had to deal with the same issue at times as well. Will this change be incorporated into the latest version (314-2, aka elog-latest.exe), or will there be a new version release (that is not in Changelog yet)? If so, can you give any ETA on this new code availability?
Also I noticed that the Elog Home page still says "Current version is: 3.1.2". I assume that only means it hasn't been updated, not that it means it's the current STABLE version and subsequent releases are beta -- please correct me if I'm wrong. I just want to make sure I understand how the versions and releases work.
Endless thanks for this product and all your work Stefan.

 | Alan Grant | agrant@winnipeg.ca | Request | Windows | 3.1.2 | New feature request for Options list |
Is it possible to include an option in the next release to have the Options list reference a text file of attributes rather than explicity listing the attributes in the Config file directly?
This would make it much easier to maintain a particular list that is referenced in several log books. |

"I committed" means that the change is sent to the GIT repository. People who compile from the source code can pull and compile immediately. Windows users have to wait until I do the next release. I'm developing on a Mac and have to boot a special (old) Windows machine to compile the .exe which each time takes me about one hour including documenation updates, changelog updates, upload of zip files etc. Since my main job is heading a research group, I only can devote this hour once in a while, depending on my work load. Sometime even the weekends are too short.
