icon5.gif   Menu command = doesn't list, posted by PJ Meyer on Wed Jan 12 23:53:27 2005 
Have tried to use "Menu commands =" to list menu commands available as per:
"Menu commands = List, Back, New, Edit, Delete, Find, Config, HELP, Logout"

but it does not seem to work; with command above I get default menu 
structure.

Using:
"Find Menu commands = List, Back, New, Edit, Find, Delete, Config, Logout, 
HELP"

I get the menu I want.
Q what's the difference?????
icon5.gif   How do I Export the 'Date' and 'Text' fields., posted by Rashid Ali on Mon Jan 17 01:13:27 2005 
I can export the Attributes I define easily and the Subject. Can't seem to 
export the Entry Date and the Text fields.

Help.

The XML export contains both the Entry Date and Text fields. In CSV format,
it's hard to export the Text field since it can span several lines, which would
break the CSV format (one line per entry). Or do you know how multi-line
entries can be encoded in CSV?

I added at least the date and message ID to the CSV export. New version under CVS.

"Find menu commands" apply to the LIST of entries, while "Menu commands" apply
to the page where a SINGLE entry is shown. I know that "Find menu commands" is
a misleading name, but it's historical, I should change it to "Menu commands"
and change the other to "Entry menu commands", does that make more sense?

I tried to reproduce your problem, but without success. I only have to login once. 

So can you please check how your cookies are set? Under Mozilla Firefox, enable
prompting for cookies (Tools/Options/Privacy/Cookies/Keep kookies=ask me every
time, IE must have similar switch). Each cookie contains a path, for which it
will be sent to the elogd in the future. Since you have your password files in
the [global] sections, they are valid for the whole set of logbooks and the path
is therefre "/". This means of course that the browser also tries to send the
cookies to the logbooks in the other top groups, since in the URL path they are
all next to each other (like "/Work+Requests", "/Completed+Work+Requests").

With the cookie prompting enabled, you can check which cookie gets set for which
directory. You should see a cookie "unm" for username, "upwd" for the encrypted
password and "urem" for the "Remember me" button. If the cookie contents is
empty, the cookie will be removed.

So carefully check the sequence of setting and resetting of cookies, trying to
figure out what goes wrong. It is a good idea for a starting point to delete all
your cookies.

icon6.gif   Including the text in the CSV export, posted by Gary Mercier on Mon Feb 28 21:35:57 2005 
Is there any way to include the text of a log message in the CSV export? 
Anyway to include a pointer to the attachment?
