First thing we have been using the Elog for 2 yr for a shift carryover and it has works out great.

Now for the problem I have. I heave the message width set to 80.  It works for plain Encoding but it does not work for HTML or ELCode. The text does not wrap around when viewing using Explorer or Fire Fox or printing out the Elog.  Is this a problem or do I need to modify the Config file?

Thanks

A limited message width does not make sense for HTML or ELCode encoding since the text is laid out by the browser dynamically when displaying messages. For example have a look at this very message in your browser, and resize your window. You will see that the text flows dynamically, so the line breaks move with the window size. Furthermore the text entry uses a variable width font, so a fixed line length would not result in line breaks at the same vertical position. Therefore the message entry size scales automatically with the browser window. If you need lines with fixed length, you can only do that in plain encoding.

That is the the problem the text does not resize with the window or sending to the printer.

As I told you, if you need that feature, stick to plain encoding.

Hello,

In elog version 2.7.1.2004, when I want to upload an image, after browsing I obtain a error message like < Upload command not unauthorized>. That is strange is the file is right uploaded in the logbook directory but not appear in the entry.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for reporting this problem. I found that it was related with switching ELOG to French (in the English version it always worked). I fixed this in revision #2006 and re-made the 2.7.1 distribution with the bug fix.

I made the test and it's really switching english to french. Another problem I observe by switching in french is when I want to create / edit an entry in html, the tool bar is hide ! Does the #2006 will corret this too ?

 This seems to be a problem with the FCKeditor which is used inside ELOG. If you upgrade from a previous version of elog, make sure not to only update the executable, but the whole scripts directory tree. When you start elogd manually, you will see FCKedit detected if the installation is correct.

The problem with the toolbar when creating / edting entry in html mode still exist. I try in french, it fails. I try in english, it works. I ran manually elogd and FCKedit detected is printed during elogd starting.

Ok, I guess I found it. Can you try with #2007 again?

Hello,

I would like to make several attachement at the same time. I would be great cause I have lot of attachements to do every day. I try wiht CTRL or SHIFT key but I failed in.

Is it possible at this moment ?

Kind regards

Stéphane

Unfortunately this is a limitation of HTML and your browser. Most photograph printing services have the same problem, you can only upload one photo at a time, so they come up with some Java programs you have to run locally to upload sets of photos. Or they have standalone programs, but they only work under Windows. So the only way to ease your pain is if you put your attachments into a single zip file.

Between the ELOG versions 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 the internal HTML editor FCKedit has been upgraded from version 2.4.3 to 2.5beta. The new version has a few more options and supports more browsers. People however reported some errors popping up like Unknown toolbar item "ELOGSubmit". This happens because some browsers cache the JavaScript from the old version of the editor in their cache. To fix this problem, simple clear the browser's cache. In Firefox, do a Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Cache -> Clear now. Other browsers have similar ways to clear the cache.

You are missing:

Type Last Edit = datetime

which will tread the "Last Edit" attribute as a date/time combination. Actually it's stored 
internally in seconds since Jan 1st 1970, so sorting will work right. The only caveat is that
when you edit an entry, the "Last Edit" is displayed really in seconds since 1970, but I will
fix this in the next release.
