Agreed - that would be nice

If I have a logbook that will let both registered users Anonymous users post. I would like the author attribute to default to the value in $long_name but if the post is Anonymous display a default text string "Anonymous". Is it possible to do this?


I added that functionality into the intermediate release 2.6.1-4 which you can download from the ELOG site.

I comes from using the lock. If you remove that, you won't get this dialog box any more.

OK, it seems, that the last part of the Use Lock documentation is the explanation:
----
If someone edits an entry, but then goes away from that page or closes the browser without submitting the 
changes, a pop-up window appears asking the user to submit the changed entry. Although this works for most 
browsers in most cases, it could be that Javascript has been turned off in a browser, in which case the stale 
locks still might appear.
---
So if I switch the encoding the whole entry is reloaded, and the JS take it as leaving.
Is it possible to change this behavior? Changing encoding should be handled different as
"regular" leaving.

Additional information:
If you have set Use Lock = 1 you can't switch the encoding on a NEW entry.
The new entry is closed w/o saving. To prevent this you must input any data,
after them you can save the NEW entry with the PopUp-OK. But there can't be 
anyone else on a new entry?

Stefan, I have several issues/questions that I am still hoping to get an answer on. Any chance? If you would rather you can send email to me directly.


I'm pretty busy these days, since we have a deadline on April 18th. I started already working weekends, so not much time is left for ELOG. But I hope it will get better by the end of this month.

BTW, Stefan, unless you can make the most recent version of a Windows eLog available I cannot test the most recent -- I do not have access to a Windows development environment. Solaris-Yes, Linux-Yes, Windoze-No.


There is a 2.6.1-4 version for Windows for download, which contains the most recent code.

This may sound a little strange but I am trying to determine if it is possible to create a series of attributes that may be assigned an integer value via OPTIONS, and then take the selected values and perform some simple math and display the result.


This item is already on the wishlist, so I added your vote there. But due to my workload, it will certainly not be implemented in the next few weeks.

I fixed that in the current SVN version.
