Spec file change, posted by Stephen A. Wood on Mon May 8 18:23:17 2006

| Could the "Copyright:" line in the elog.spec file be changed to "License:" for the next release? Without this change an RPM can't be built on FC4 (RPM 4.4.1). With the change, rpms can still be built in Enterprise linux 3 (RPM 4.2.3). |

Wow, the RPM build depends on that name? Interesting. I changed it in the SVN version, so it will be contained in the next release. |

Date automatically generated by another one, posted by Alex H on Thu May 4 17:26:41 2006

Hi Stefan,
I am searching for a solution in order to have a date automatically generated by another one.
For example I want 1 month more :
I input the first date in "Date publication" : 01/01/2006 and the "Date validation" took automatically the 01/02/2006 value from themselve.
Can I do that with ELOG ?
Thanks for answer. |

No, this is not implemented right now. |

allow per-logfile attributes to be added/subtracted from the global settings, posted by Mark Bergman on Wed May 3 00:16:42 2006

I think it would be a big enhancement to allow per-logbook attributes to be additions or subtractions from the global attributes, rather than replacing the global settings.
For example, the [global] section of my elogd.cfg reads:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Severity, Subject, Entry ID, Status
Extendable Attributes = Type, Category, Severity, Subject, Status
Options Category = Hardware, Software (OS and utilities), Software (Application), Network, Security, Other
Options Severity = None, Low, Medium, High, Critical
Options Status = Open, Closed, In-Progress, Suspended
Options Type = To-Do, Problem Report, Problem Fixed, Informational Note, Software Installation, Configuration, Other
Required Attributes = Type, Category, Subject, Status
I've also got an logbook for each server for hardware issues. Within those logbooks, I'd like to keep all the fields except the software fields, and add fields for memory and storage.
Adding 7 definitions to each server logbook makes the config file huge and difficult to edit, and it means that a future change to the global settings wouldn't propagate to the individual log files. I'd really like to do something like:
[server47]
-Options Category = Software (OS and utilities), Software (Application)
+Options Category = Storage, Memory
-Options Type = Software Installation
+Options Type = RAM Installation, Drive upgrade
As I see it, the initial "-" sign in front of an attribute or option would indicate that the fields listed should be deleted from the global set (if the field name is an exact match), and a leading "+" indicates that the given fields would be added to the global attribute of the same name, for that specific logbook.
The current behavior--without a leading "+" or "-" would be unchanged, so that existing config files don't change.
Thanks,
Mark |

Sounds to me like a good idea. I will put it on the wishlist. |

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! |

User review..use case: implementing GTD, posted by Marco Calf on Sat Apr 15 00:37:48 2006
|
Playing with elog for a day made me very happy. I was looking for a webbased thingy to support list building for 'Getting Things Done' by David Allen ( David Allen's Getting Things Done ).
Elog is simple, intuitative and very powerfull!
Less informative is the fact that i found no bugs till now 
On usablitity..maybe some more control over the dialog..eg the 'in between' screens (eg after a move...the 'to which log i would like to resume' question)...or have an option to be in select mode by default.
Tnx |

Text Field color in Summary display, posted by Mike Jackson on Fri Apr 14 17:01:40 2006
|
| Is it possible to have the text field be the same color as the other attributes in the summary display? What I mean is how each line is a different color, but the text field is always white. I would like the text field to match the rest. I changed the .summary in the css file but it changes all the text fields, it doesn't allow them to alternate colors like the other fields on the summary display |

Can a field value be calculated during display?, posted by Sridhar Anandakrishnan on Wed Apr 12 19:22:34 2006
|
I have a logbook which is a Calendar/Appointment book with Attributes: "Appointment DateTime", Place, etc.
I would like another Attribute called "When" whose value is calculated from Today's Date - Appointment date (so for example I could display today's appointments in red...). This calculation has to take place each time the logbook is displayed...
Possible? Useful?
Thanks,
Sridhar. |

No.
ELOG is an electronic logbok and should not be used as a full calendar application. There are much better packages for that, like PHP groupware. Better use one of those packages. |
