Hi Terry,
it is not exactly clear to me what you want.
You can define many different types of attributes to an entry.
Like this logbook has "Icon", "Author", "Author Email", "Category", ...
That automatically creates a form for the input.
Or you can have some pre-filled text in the text area, like a pre-defined table.
E.g. with the following line:
Preset Text = input-form.html
Every new entry will now contain the content of the file input-form.html
which could be some table or list, ...

 Thank you very much for your replies Stefan and Andreas!

I've played with the Preset Text = input-form.html however when I open a new form it just has text in there stating "input-form.html. I feel like I'm missing a way for the Configuration to find my html file.

I feel like I am close but I'm missing one piece of data. Here is what I'd like to have, when I click "New" I'd like this table to be automatically inserted in the body.

If you see only the file name it means that elogd cannot find the file, it's probably in the wrong directory. Have you put it into the "logbooks" directory? Like c:\Program Files\ELOG\logbooks\

 Yes thanks Stefan! It is working now.

Stefan,

Is there any way I might be able to initiate the 'copy to' function by selecting a 'tick box' (boolean) or conditional attribute choice in an entry page when submitting that page? We have a requirement where we run a main 'Operations' log and have another log with some entries needing to be in both (for additional actions etc). I understand the Operator can always manually use the 'Copy To' function after submitting the original entry but was wondering if there was some way a shell script (execute function?) or similar may be activated by a boolean or even a 'conditional' choice?

Thx


I put your request on the whishlist.


Thanks Stefan.


Hi Stefan,

Any progress on this whish?
We are evaluating Elog to use it as disaster management log so we need to be able to have several logs that merges into one big log where analytic people can see the whole picture/timeline of whats going on in one single logg.
It can very well be as easy as a elog command-line option that initiates the whole thing with the help of Cron/Sheduler but the best would of course be to copy the whole idea from the mirroring function also for the copy/move task.

....or if there is a possibility to write directly to other logs than the current one in the moment of saving the entry....

Best,

Pelle
icon5.gif   Options <...> vs ROptions <...>, posted by Wolfgang Bayer on Thu Apr 28 11:20:40 2011 

According to section "Syntax of elogd.cfg" of the "Administrator's Guide" Options <attribute> = <list> and  ROptions <attribute> = <list> should be the same. But there is a litle difference, because choosing an entry of the Options-pull-down menu causes a reload of the entry mask while choosing a ROption-radio-button the entry mask is not reloaded. This causes a problem using conditional attributes. The condition is only paid attention to in case of Options but not in case of ROptions. In my case I would like to use ROption, as it is faster to set a radio button than to choose an item in a pull-down menu, but I can't as I have also to use conditional attributes. Is there any solution?

icon5.gif   Filter on attribute value for list items, posted by Wolfgang Bayer on Fri Apr 29 11:20:50 2011 

Hello @all,

for a logbook I have also to set up a guest access. As I want to have a login page first opening the logbook,  I created a second logbook entry in the elog.cfg that points to the same subdir as the original logbook. The idea of this guest access is, that users who have no login rights can read selected items with selected attributes. Therefor I restricted the guest account with all available "Guest"-commands in the elog.cfg.

But this is not sufficient. Let's suppose I have an attribute called 'Accessibility' with options 'public' and 'private'. What I am searching for is a filter command for the list display, i.e. if an entry has the accessibility flag 'public', a guest sees this entry in the list and can access it. But if the entry has the accessibility flag private, the entry should not be displayed for guests but for users, that are logged in.

I read the administrator guide carefully, but I didn't found a command that provides for that. Does such a filtering command for the list exist? If not, is it possible to implement one?


 

Best regards,

Wolfgang Bayer

I am in the process of upgrading from 2.6.0 to 2.9.0.  I am installing it on a windows 2008 r2 server which is 64 bit.  I am having a few issues and am just wondering if Windows 2008 R2 is support with version 2.9.0.  Is there anything I need to know about the installation other than just run the exe file?  So far I have run the exe file and installed the software, the service is running, however I cannot get into the application.  I do not have IIS installed, it does mention it in the installation documentation, is this a requirement?  Any hints or ideas at this point would be appreciated.  I am close I just need that last tweek.  Thanks
