| Grant Jeffcote | grant@jeffcote.org | Question | Windows | 2.7.5 | Server derived time | Hi Stefan,
Is it possible to derive the time in a 'date/time' attribute from the Elog server?
We would like all our entries in GMT/UTC time and unfortunately as the time is currently derived from the client machines there are often entry descrepancies if the regional settings are not set correctly.
The '$entry time' variable can be used but seems to put a 1970 date in the field so bears no relevancy to an 'Event' time?
I'm also having issues with conditional entries in the Find page. If a conditional statement is used to hide attributes or change displayed attributes in the entry page then the attribute that is used in the conditional statement is not permanently selectable in the 'Find' page. It is available as a choice but as soon as selected the conditional action removes it? Is it possible to make conditional options/actions in the 'Find' page optional?
Hope that makes a little sense?
Many thanks |

By now, I'm one step further. List conditions = 1 does have some effect in some cases - the following works:
Options Type = Type1{10}, Type2{11}
Options StatusA = Status-A-red, Status-A-orange, Status-A
{10}Style StatusA Status-A-red = background-color:red
{11}Style StatusA Status-A-red = background-color:green
This seems to get evaluated "top-down", i.e. the value of "Type" in the first row in the list sets the handling of StatusA and the background-color, the second row for the third and so on. Unfortunately, this really only depends on the order of the rows on the screen - if I sort the list differently, I get a different result.
I am also quite certain that List conditions = 1 has no effect whatsover on List display - which is what I was hoping for.
Hence, I'd like to repeat my question: Is there any way to hide columns in List view (short of editing the conf file...) - and if so, how?
Regards,
Thomas |

Just wondering if there is still a maximum number of mail recipients? I saw a number of 112 floating around in old forum entries, and I need more, like currently 300. When I try it, the elogd hangs, not much output to speak of, but won't reply to Apache on its port. Any quick fix (like changing a def'd variable somewhere?)
|
No quick fix, sorry. It is also limited by a fixed number of characters per line in the configuration file and many more. I will try to increase it, but it will take time. Can you maybe set-up a mailing list at your email server? This way you send only email to one destination and it gets distributed to many people. |

I have there a problem with the error message at required attributes.
I have two logbooks with identical settings,
in one the errror message appears as Javascript Alert,
in the other one as html-page, and after using the back button the entered text disapear.
Same I have in this forum.

Can you describe what you exactly enter in this forum to produce the error so that I can reproduce it? |

Hi ,
i have a little problem with the guest access. There is no acces to the logbooks as a guest. Evereytime i see the loginbox after clicking the logbook.
[Informations] Guest menu commands = List, Back, Find, Login, Help Guest find menu commands = List, Find, Select, Login, Help Password file = ./passwd Self register = 1 Logfile = elogd.log Logging level = 3 Login expiration = 24 Admin user = testuser
Theme = default Preset Author = $long_name Attributes = Author, Subject Locked Attributes = Author Required Attributes = Author, Subject Page Title = ELOG - $subject Reverse sort = 1 Quick filter = Date, Subtext
Thanks for help, Brassmann

I tried your configuration and it worked as expected. Maybe you have edited the wrong configuration file, not restarted the server, or have an old page in your browser cache. |

There are several methods to get the server time:
Via presets of attributes
Attributes = Author, Event time, ...
Preset Event time = $utcdate
which gives you actually the UTC time.
Via the editor
The editor toolbar contains a little clock. If you click on it, you insert the current server time (but localized, not UTC).
Hope one of the two methods work for you.
The problem with the conditional attributes in the find page is I believe fixed in the current version. |

Originally, all information about our machines was stored in a spreadsheet with one sheet for the hardware of the machines and one for the software. By now, I've sucessfully moved the software part to an elog logbook and am now looking at transferring the hardware part as well.
As both lists are machine-name based, one of the options would be to merge both lists, as this would place all machine-related info into one logbook. The downside of this is that I get so many columns in list view that the result is quite unwieldy. Hence, I would like to hide some columns - ideally creating a "hardware view" and a "software view".
From the documentation, the only option I could find that seemed suitable was "List conditions". Unfortunately, I do not quite understand from the manual how this is supposed to work, so I'm quite possibly doing something wrong. I've tried this:
; General settings
List conditions = 1
; Attributes
Attributes = Type, Created, StatusA, StatusB, Archived
; Options & Tooltips
Options Type = Type1{10}, Type2{11}
; Conditionals
{10}List display = Edit, Type, Created, Status
{11}List display = Edit, Type, Created, StatusA, StatusB, Archived
but no matter how I set "Type", it does not seem to have any effect on the List display. One thing I don't understand for example is how does elog decide in List view which entry sets the condition? If all entries are set to the same value (in this example e.g. "Type1")? The first entry? Or am I missing something altogether?
Also, if there are alternative ways how I could accomplish my goal, I'd also be most grateful for suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Indeed you got something wrong. The conditional attributes are meant for the input form, so you can turn some attributes on and off or choose different options for an attribute depending on the value of another attribute.
The only way I see how you can achieve what you want is to define two separate logbooks, but serve them from the same directory (via the "Data dir" option). Both logbooks should share the same attribute definition, but use different "List display" options. |

Hi Stefan.
I have been "playing" around with this great tool and found an interesting "issue" ...
I use multiple logbooks and have both "Protect Selection page = 1" and "Expand Selection Page = 1".
When I open my elog, I get a Standard Login Screen with the Standard Bottom Text "ELOG V2.7.5-2130" which will link to your this website.
When I "Logout" and "Login" again from the Logbook page, I get another Login Screen with my own "Bottom text login" which will link to my own elog page.
How can I apply my own Bottom Text to the Standard Login Screen ?
Thanks & Regards, Barend
