Unfortunately no.

I may have missed it when reading the logs, if so, sorry about that, but I would like to know if there is a way to set a field, let us call it "process run"  Ok let me give you some details on this.

a process run may have several "work orders" or sets of parts/items in it, so it will have several separate entries in the log  such as:

date##, run123, part 1, quantity, comment

date##, run123, part2, quantity, comment

date##, run123, part3, quantity, comment

date##, run123, part4, quantity, comment

I thought perhaps to have them use the reply function to add the other 3 items of the same run, and that would work if I could find a way to set 'process run' to auto increment, say perhaps, when the next 'New' entry was entered.  Is there something in place that can already do this?  If this is possible, I thought I would see if I can change the button for 'New' to something like 'New Run' and reply to 'Add Workorder' or something along that line so there is no confusion when entering the data.

Any suggestions you might provide are greatfully accepted.

Well, I tinkered a bit with a journal entry display page and found that without having to suggest the flavor-of-the-month web design mantra of "replace table layout with CSS only",  just a few CSS tweaks can enable exactly what I am desiring.

For your consideration, here are the tweaks I made to get a fixed header and footer section with a scrollable journal entry section in the middle:

1. moved the journal entry content and footer line (elog version info) out of the layout table structure, into their own div sections;
2. in the style sheet, added attribute "position:fixed" to the "frame table" section;
3. in the style sheet, added attribute sections for journal entry content and footer div sections:
   1. #content: overflow:auto;position:fixed;top:230px;bottom:30px;width:100%;
   2. #footer:  text-align:center;bottom:0;position:fixed;width:100%;

Now as I'm not a web designer by trade and not intimately familiar with CSS nuances, I used the time honored method of documentation lookup with trial and error.

In any case, it worked and displays exactly the way I wanted; please do consider this for a future elog release.

i've updated to ELOG V2.7.3-2104

Well, then you should get German locale. I just tried with the same version and following elogd.cfg, so I don't know what you are doing wrong:

[global]
port = 8080
language = german

[demo]
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject

Have you tried the "RSS Title" option?

Ok, nevermind that one, Dumb Question I think, now that I have figured out that the field I was concerned with does not increment in a reply already.  So.. that only leaves my one question, is there somewhere that I can change the text, not the action, on the menu so that I can do a reply, but have the link list as something like "New Item".?
