Hi Stefan,
Is it possible to derive the time in a 'date/time' attribute from the Elog server?
We would like all our entries in GMT/UTC time and unfortunately as the time is currently derived from the client machines there are often entry descrepancies if the regional settings are not set correctly.
The '$entry time' variable can be used but seems to put a 1970 date in the field so bears no relevancy to an 'Event' time?
I'm also having issues with conditional entries in the Find page. If a conditional statement is used to hide attributes or change displayed attributes in the entry page then the attribute that is used in the conditional statement is not permanently selectable in the 'Find' page. It is available as a choice but as soon as selected the conditional action removes it? Is it possible to make conditional options/actions in the 'Find' page optional?
Hope that makes a little sense?
Many thanks

There are several methods to get the server time:
Via presets of attributes
Attributes = Author, Event time, ...
Preset Event time = $utcdate
which gives you actually the UTC time.
Via the editor
The editor toolbar contains a little clock. If you click on it, you insert the current server time (but localized, not UTC).
Hope one of the two methods work for you.
The problem with the conditional attributes in the find page is I believe fixed in the current version.
