icon5.gif   TIMEZONE modifier?, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Apr 10 05:34:40 2006 
We host eLog for a number of global sites. Our logbooks use datetime attributes but the timezones are wrong attributes that are either preset (like when a logentry is created) or if we fill in an attribute from an action (like when a logentry is closed). Any possibility of adding a timezone designator to FORMAT or does one already exist?

Thanks!
icon5.gif   Any way to move Replies from one logentry to another?, posted by Steve Jones on Fri Apr 14 16:30:56 2006 
Is there anyway to reattach a reply within a logbook from one logentry to another? I guess it would be "re-associate"?

No, this is not possible directly. You would have to make a new reply, and manually fill in the contents from the original reply. It is however possible by directly tampering the ELOG files, but that should be done only by experienced users.


Kind of what I thought but needed to ask. I think I'll leave things as they are. Thanks!
icon4.gif   Losing field 'focus' when using Conditional Attributes, posted by Steve Jones on Tue May 30 17:54:21 2006 
Stefan, any way to address this? It appears to only be applicable when one defines conditional Options - when javascript updates the conditional lists the input focus appears to shift to the HTML edit area. I am still running ELOG V2.6.1-1681 and this is under Windows (my test system).


With version 2.6.1 rev 1681 I believe this is when I started seeing the behavior such that when a conditional attribute value is selected the focus switches to the message entry window. It looks like when the javascript cond_submit() is called for some reason on returning focus defaults to the message window. This occurs under Windows (rev 1861) and Solaris (rev 1864). I can see in function chkform() that focus is returned for checking Required attributes, but I see nothing for conditional attributes.

Thanks

It was some new code used for inline images. If you upload an inline image, an extra window opens which lets you select the image file. After that operation, you want to have the focus back at the text box. Unfortunately this also happened now after the JavaScript update of conditional attributes. I fixed that in the new version 2.6.1-6.

Hello.

I think to test Elog in Mac G5 with OSX 10.4.6.

In the manual is following installationtext:

"Installation from the tarball:
Download the latest elog-x.x.x.tar.gz package.
Expand the compressed TAR file with tar -xzvf elog-x.x.x.tar.gz. This creates a subdirectory elog-x.x.x where x.x.x is the version number. In that directory execute make, which creates the executables elogd, elog and elconv."

The problem is when i try to run the command "make" in ~/elog-2.6.1 subdirectory. I get following message:
-bash: make: command not found

Now, Im not an "UNIX-hacker" so I will be glad if anyone maybe can help me?



Best regardīs

Typically one would install the Gnu compiler series and with that come 'gmake'. Barring that, and not knowing anything about OSx, if OSx comes with its own compiler series then make might be somewhere on the system but not in your path. Go to http://gcc.gnu.org/ and see if you an find a pre-built version of gcc -- all I found mentioned "darwin". Perhaps Apple has something in the way of a development colleciton?

Couldn't a small bit of javascript be added that would accomplish this? Me saying this and I have no idea what I am talking about!!
