icon5.gif   Backing up an entire eLog, posted by Ed Rogers on Tue Feb 2 21:52:00 2010 

Hi, I've been using the ELOG software for about a year now. I love it! But as my ELOG becomes more valuable, I become more paranoid about potential data loss. (We've had numerous close-calls with disk failures, recently.) Is there a way to download a backup of my ELOG, all at once? Maybe a command that could create a tar.gz of all the entries and attachments? Further, is there also a command to restore from such a backup? Apologies if this question is answered elsewhere. I couldn't readily find it in the documentation. Regards, --Ed

icon4.gif   BUG?: Preset text = causes replication of text when re-editing a logbook entry., posted by Steve Jones on Fri Jul 16 19:06:35 2004 
With the "Preset text = " specified, when re-editing a logbook entry (say to
correct a spelling error) the text of the "Message" is replicated and placed
directly below the original text.

Commenting out the "Preset text = " line prevents this behavior.  this
occurs under both FireFox and IE6.0 clients.
icon4.gif   BUG: lost entry data, posted by Rich Persaud on Wed Nov 24 00:17:45 2004 
After THREE tries to enter a long detailed list of questions, all have been 
replaced by just one:  why do ELOG textareas and entry forms lose all data 
if the browser goes back/forward?  Or if a submission causes an error?  
Other forms in other applications don't have this kind of data loss.

Submitting this now before I lose it again.  Will submit rest of questions 
as separate entries.

Hi,

I have been using elog for a few years and it is a wonderfull software and has been one that I can't go without. So thank you very much for making it. smiley

After about a year, I upgraded to the latest version. I noticed that it causes the system to crash. It doesn't seem to happen that often. 

I have installed this on 2 machines, one Windows 10 and one on Windows 7. Over the last week I got one BSOD on each OS. 

The elogs have different configs and logbooks. One is a simple elog that doesn't have any attachments or anything funky. Just straight text.

Please see attached a screenshot of the Memory.DMP which has happned seconds after an schedule restarted the elog service on my PC. 

I will keep monitoring and see if will happen again. But I thought I log it here anyway.

Thanks.

Cheers.

Ales.

icon5.gif   Automatically generated incrementing tags (#), posted by soren poulsen on Wed Oct 14 16:31:46 2009 

Hi,

I am using the # character to generate automatically incrementing numbers for new messages.

My issue is that # is evaluated when you hit "New" but E-log is only aware of the new value being used when you hit "Submit".

So, two E-logs can have the same value substituted for # if two E-logs are being edited in parallel.

Maybe someone has a solution to this ?

icon5.gif   Automatic creation of new entry in another logbook, posted by Carlos Mateo on Thu Nov 17 11:50:45 2005 
Hi

I am trying to create an entry in logbook2 when I submit a new entry in logbook1. The automatically created entry in logbook2 will have a reference to the entry that created it.

So far I have tried several ways:

1.- Using the "Execute new" I call elog to create the second entry. As the server is single-process, it locks: elog is waiting for elogd to be ready and elogd is waiting for elog to finish to accept new requests.
As my server is on a Windows machine I canīt execute elog on background.

2.- I tried to run 2 servers on different ports using the same elogd.cfd file, calling the second server from elog. This "almost" works: the logbook files are updated, but the original server must be restarted to "see" the changes.

3.- Using the "Menu text" option, I create a link to create the new entry. The problem is that attributes are not parsed: a link like this <a href="/logbook2/?cmd=New&pAttr=Value $ID">Test</a> wonīt substitute $ID

Is there a way to do what I want?

TIA,
Carlos

Is it possible to configure elog to copy a new entry from 1 logbook to another?
