If an attribute uses MOptions and is also extendable, clicking "Add 
<attribute name>" and entering a value adds the value to the MOptions, but 
does not put the value into the log entry. The log record has that 
attribute blank.
You have to go back into the record and edit it to put the new value in.

Hi,

I am very much interested in using elog as a shift logbook for SOLEIL
accelerators.

I tested most of the options. Every thing works well except the conditional
attributs when French language is selected. In this case, I lost the
selected list option in the Field Equipement.

Here a simple exemple for testing.
NB: tests were done using the last and before last elog version.

I switched the language from English to French in Global options

Attributes = Accelerateur, Equipement
Options Accelerateur= Linac{1}, LT1{2}
{1}Options Equipement= cannon, section1
{2}ROptions Equipement= Alimentation, Diagnostics

I guess this is a simple bug since this problem does not exist for other
languages.

Best Regards,

Laurent Nadolski

here is a piece of my current config:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Required Attributes = Author, Type, Subject

Options Type = Deposition{1}, Arc Studies{1}, Conditioning{1}, Vacuum{2},
Other{3}
Show Attributes = Author, Subject, Type

{1}ROptions Category = Nb, NbN, W, cavity system
{2}ROptions Category = pump, leak, mounting

{1}Show Attributes = Author, Subject, Type, Category
{2}Show Attributes = Author, Subject, Type, Category
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

this is an escamotage I use to have the option to be displyed.
I mean that something like the following:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Required Attributes = Author, Type, Subject
Options Type = Deposition{1}, Arc Studies{1}, Conditioning{1}, Vacuum{2},
Other{3}
Preset Type = Deposition

{1}ROptions Category = Nb, NbN, W, cavity system
{2}ROptions Category = pump, leak, mounting

{3}Show Attributes = Author, Subject, Type
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

rises a bug: the select input correctly shows "Deposition" as preselected
value, BUT the attributes shown are not those identified by the "{3}".
re-selecting by hand the "deposition" Type option everything goes right.

sorry for my bad english

the following should do the job:

<table><TR><TD width="200">
<img src="IMG_3133.jpg" width="100%">
</TD></TR></table>

or (better I think)

<div style="width: 200px">
<img src="IMG_3133.jpg" style="width: 100%" />
</div>

the configurable parameter should be with obviously :-)

elog sends wrong HTTP headers, charset is empty and not separed from the
next one "Connection: Keep-Alive ... this bug tells the browser that the
encoding is "connection:" ... that is wrong.

this is the problem from validator point of viev:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmidas.psi.ch%2Felogs%2FForum%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=%28detect+automatically%29&ss=1&verbose=1

> as this url shows http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp


> it should be used an HTML entity instead of the ampersand sign.<p>

another problem with validation:
required attribute "ALT" not specified  in every <img> tag used in the elog (icons)

here is an example of the validator results:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmidas.psi.ch%2Felogs%2FLinux+Demo%2F&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29&verbose=1

Unfortunately not. Please find attached the screen dump from such a try, together with the HTML code.
As you can see, the little elog icon is stretched to the same width as the upper (large) picture.
