I tried to reproduce your problem, but could not. In my windows installation it looks fine. You only see the
(save and cancel) buttons only if you go to "Change [global]", otherwise you see the "Change [global]", "Delete
this logbook" etc. buttons. Have you tried with the default elogd.cfg which comes from the distribution?

how ca i set the date for the "show only new entries" button? maybe i missed somethin on the elog.cfg description?
thank's for hint! Smile


That button works as follows: When you are active browsing entries, your activity is recorded (only the time) in the password file. Now when you are inactive for more than one hour, you are considered "logged out", and your last activity is taken as a filter for new entries. That means you see new entries since your last activity in the logbook. If you want to see the last day/week/month etc. you can define a quick filter on the date instead.

Japp. I switched back to relative links for CSS again, seems to give less trouble. Pleased

Have you tried 2.6.1. I released it just recently, so I don't know when it will be available for Debian. Have you
checked that your "URL = xxx" statement in the config file is correct? I see above "myelog", while the proxy
passes requests to "elog".

Sorry my late reply, but now I have fixed this problem. The update is under SVN and will be contained in the next release.


Thanks for that. I am now using ver V2.6.1-1622. So I guess that doesn't qualify as a "next release". I wonder if there is anything I could do to work around the issue?

Mark

In fact now the dropdown seems to be working but when I 'tick' an entry, it is not being written to the ascii file.


Can you try V2.6.1-1634? I fixed several issues with ticking entries coming from "MOptions" lists.

However, there are two things I'm missing:
  • Headings
    It would be great to have a range of [H1][/H1], [H2][/H2], ... tags that map directly to their HTML counterparts (and have buttons, of course... Big grin ). That makes structuring an entry much easier in my opinion (and the output is easier to deal with for tools like html2ps) and I'm really missing those.
  • Tables
    This one is probably more difficult to add, but support for simple tables would be enough. But this is more a "nice to have"...


Yes, I missed tables myself already. The headings I just put into the current SVN version (see this forum for how it works). Tables are a bit harder to implement and will come later. Do you have a proposal for a possible syntax? A 1:1 relation to HTML would look like this:

[tr][th]heading1[/th][th]heading2[/th][/tr] [tr][td]data1[/td][td]data2[/td][/tr]


But that does not look very sexy to me. Maybe somehting like

heading 1 heading 2 heading 3
data 1 data 2 data 3


this looks a bit like the "pipe" mode from a Wiki

what do you think?

I tried again, using the configuration file from the distribution (elog:1627/1). Hitting "config", I see the picture
attached (elog:1627/2). So it's a mystery why it is different in your case...

That rings a bell. If you change user permissions (like password file/no password file/rename logbooks) you might be
fooled by old cookies. Just delete all cookies in your browser and try again.
