How do I preset a drop-down box entry which contains a % character?


The problem was that '%' is used in auto-generated preset tags like XYZ-%Y-%b-### (see documentation). I made the auto-generation a bit more clever such that it only tries to interprete any '%' if there is any '#'. The fix is in elog version 2.6.4.

For simple configuration files, that should work. If I have for example:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine{r}, Software Installation{s}, Problem Fixed{p}, Configuration, Other

{r} Required Attributes = Author

Then the attributes "Author" is only required if "Type" equals "Routine".



you are right, I try to re-examine my configuration and I will say to you

Dear All,

I have got very good feedback from my colleagues about Elog logbook which I have made at my work since October 2006. The tool is going to use improving.

At moment, I don't let Elog start as a service (deamon), but as an application (start from a *.bat file). Because I just want to enable of "elogd -x" for reading of email list in an external file. But this cause that Elog cannot be set to automatically restart after a crash. (As a service in Windows, you can set it restart immediatly after crash)

I don't find anywhere in the administrator's guide how I can set the option 'elogd -x' while installing Elog to get a service with '-x' option.

Do you know it?


Dear Stefan,
could you enable it for the install download file for Windows?

Hi all,
My config file (a part of it) looks like this:

Options Locatie = Intern{a}, Extern{b}, Demo/Ontwikkel{c}, Hardware{d}, ---------------------, Anders

{a}Options Sessies = p-zis-pr1{1}, p-szh-pro{2}, p-dia-pro{3}, a-zis-ac1{1}, a-zis-ac2{2}, a-dia-acc{3}, ---------------------, Anders
{b} Options Sessies = FSC Pro{4}, FSC Acc{4}, Risc/Bus/Sms Pro{5}, Risc/Bus/Sms Acc{5}, ---------------------, Anders
{c} Options Sessies = BAO, BEH, BAOMPSO, BEHMPSO, Demonstrator, AFS, PTG, BSN, ---------------------, Anders
{d} Options Sessies = Wijziging, Storing

{1} Options Orgus = AZS, IZR, HPZ, iSOFT
{2} Options Orgus = VZL, Trombo, iSOFT
{3} Options Orgus = Diac, iSOFT
{4} Options Orgus = AMG, ZHH/Tergooi, ZNB
{5} Options Orgus = GOZL, MCA, MZG, SEH, SJD, ZGN


This is my question: when i use the "search/find" page and select the first drop down menu "Locatie", the next field "Sessies" will not be displayed (and all following fields either). On the other hand, when i create a new entry, it works perfect, select "Locatie", field "Sessies" displays his content and so on. I hope that someone can help me with this.

I tried, but it does not work. A windows service does not let you start a internal command line shell. No way. Use Linux Wink

This was never meant to work like that. On the find page, conditional attributes are not evaluated for following reason: Assume you want to search for Orgus = ZGN. Currently you simply type ZGN in the Orgus field and you're done. With drop down lists, you first would have to select Locatie = extern, then Sessies = Risc/Bus/Sms Pro, and only then you could select Orgus = ZGN. That would require three steps. Technically it's however possible to implement what you want, but I would wait until more people request this.

Hi Stefan,

  2153   Fri Mar 2 16:39:22 2007 Question Justin Ellisonjustin@techadvise.comQuestion 2.6.4-179Hiding attributes in Detail view?
First off, thanks so much for this product. It works excellent for us as a server activity log. I have a question, which depending on the answer, might be a feature request Wink

As I mentioned, we use elog as a serverlog. Sometimes, but not always, we will have a Bugzilla bug # that is associated with the log entry. We then take that bug #, and build a link to our bugzilla server displaying the bug. Here's the relevant config entries:
Attributes = Author, Classification, Subject, Bug Number, Environment, Server, Bugzilla
...
#Make the list table narrow enough to fit in the browser
List display = ID, Date, Author, Subject, Server, Bugzilla
...
#We take in a Bug Number from the user, then calculate a Bugzilla link from that
Change Bugzilla = <a href="http://bugz:4545/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$Bug Number">$Bug Number</a>
List Change Bugzilla = <a href="http://bugz:4545/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$Bug Number">$Bug Number</a>
Hidden Attributes = Bugzilla

So, on new entry, the user has the option to enter a Bug Number. Bugzilla is not displayed because it is derived. In list view, Bug Number is not displayed, but Bugzilla is, providing a handy link to the bug on a different server.

The only thing that isn't working as I'd like is when someone views a log entry. Both Bug Number and Bugzilla show up in the attributes. This isn't a huge deal, it's just showing redundant data.

Is there a way to hide Bug Number on the view page?
