<h3>Interim rigging guide</h3>
<p>The logbook is the place where we record the rigging of caves as we discover them.
<p>When a cave is derigged,
a good way of getting the rope lengths for your rigging guide is to
leave the knots in ropes removed so they can
be <b>measured</b>, but these days our caves are a bit deep
and complicated for this to be feasible.
Although a good survey and details of the belays
can be used to estimate the length of rope needed, this is no substitute for
measuring how much rope it actually took to rig.</p>
<h3>The online logbook file</h3>

<h3 id="history">Historical logbooks</h3>
<p>Older logbooks (prior to 2007) were stored as logbook.txt with just a bit of consistent markup to allow troggle parsing.</p>
<p>The formatting was largely freeform, with a bit of markup ('===' around header, bars separating date, <place> - <description>, and who) which allows the troggle import script to read it correctly. The underlines show who wrote the entry. There is also a format for time-underground info so it can be automagically tabulated.</p>
<p>So the format should be:</p>

<h3 id="import">Importing the logbook into troggle</a></h3>
<p>This is usually done after expo but it is in excellent idea to have a nerd do this a couple of times during expo to discover problems while the people are still around to ask.
<p>The nerd needs to login to the expo server using <em>their own userid</em>, not the 'expo' userid. The nerd also needs to be in the group that is allowed to do 'sudo'.
<p>The nerd needs to do this:
<ol>
<li>Look at the list of pre-existing old import errors at </br> <a href="http://expo.survex.com/admin/core/dataissue/">http://expo.survex.com/admin/core/dataissue/</a> </br>
The nerd will have to login to the troggle management console to do this, not just the usual troggle login.
<li>You need to get the list of people on expo sorted out first. </br>
This is documented in the <a href="computing/folkupdate.html">Folk Update</a> process.
<li>Log in to the expo server and run the update script (see below for details)
<li>Watch the error messages scroll by, they are more detailed than the messages archived in the old import errors list
<li>Edit the logbook.html file to fix the errors. These are usually typos, non-unique tripdate ids or unrecognised people. Some unrecognised people will mean that you have to fix them using the <a href="computing/folkupdate.html">Folk Update</a> process first.
<li>Re-run the import script until you have got rid of all the import errors.
<li>Pat self on back. Future data managers and people trying to find missing surveys will worship you.
</ol>
<p>The procedure is like this. It will be familiar to you because
you will have already done most of this for the <a href="computing/folkupdate.html">Folk Update</a> process.
<pre><code>ssh {youruserid}@expo.survex.com
cd ~expo
cd troggle
sudo python databaseReset.py logbooks
</code></pre>
<p>It will produce a list of errors like this, starting with the most recent logbook which will be the one for the expo you are working on.
You can abort the script (Ctrl-C) when you have got the errors for the current expo that you are going to fix
