Hello Elog Forum

There is i ELOG the function to edit multiple posts eg. to change the staus from "ongoing" to "finished" -> in danish translation "igangværende" and "afsluttet", see the attached pictures.

When I select multiple post and want to edit them to status "afsluttet" i get the "udklip_2.jpg" entry form and change only the status to "afsluttet" (Finished)

The result is a error informing that the attribut "gem oprindelige værdier" does not exist. As a test i changed the text in the translation file from "Keep origianl values = gem oprindelige værdier" to "Keep origianl values = Keep origianl values" but the result is the same error: Attribut Keep original values does not exist.

Is there a solution to this or is or is mutiple editing of post not allowed?

Kind Regards Finn

I use editing of multiple entries frequently and it works fine for me.

To understand your problem I would suggest that you try a minimal configuration. If you have a test logbook with just one or two fields and it still does not work, then post the config here that people can reproduce your problem - and hopefully find a fix.

Hello Andreas

OK, I did install a version of ELOG with a minimum of settings and the edit of multiple settings works fine. I've tracked the issue to "Locked Attributes = Bruger".

If one or more of the attributes are locked i get the error "Error: Attribute option - keep original values - not existing". I'm not trying to change the locked attribute, but it seems when one is locked multiple editing is not possible.

Is that intended to work this way?

Kind Regards Finn

Hi Finn,

Hello Andreas

Show Attributes Edit = xxx, limits the attributes shown when editing but when you submit you get the error

Error: Attribute Bruger not supplied.

Please go back and enter the Bruger field.

If I save instead of submitting it looks like it does change the attribute as intented in my test Elog system. Unfortunately i've disabled save with "Save drafts = 0" in my live system - to only use submit, and enabling drafts only causes other issues. My configuration is attached

Kind Regards Finn 

Greetings!

We've been successfully running nearly a dozen separate logbooks on independent laptops -- all of them are running elogd as a Windows service. This works well, since I've also set up auto recovery options in the event that the service inadvertently stops.

Now, I have a need to place the value of an attribute of the latest log entry into a basic text file.  Of course, this works just fine if I have launched elogd -x as a normal executable, using Execute new = echo $Status > Last_status.log in my CFG file.  However, I would like to be able to do this using the Windows service which is running in the background. 

Is there another way to write the value of an attribute into a separate file?  If not, do I have to have a special build of ELOG in order to be able to enable the Windows service to execute shell commands?  For the record, these logbooks are running on secure laptops that are isolated onto their own network, and the user is unable to edit the CFG file.

In case you're wondering about the reason for the separate text file -- I've written a separate program which illuminates one of 4 different color signal lamps (mounted on a test station), based on the latest "Status" of the test station. (Running, Idle, Broken, Other).

I appreciate any guidance here -- this is a "big deal" here, as one glance over the floor gives us an idea of what's running (or not).

Thanks!
Frank
