FYI, I think there's a little bug in the datetime vs $date implementation.

Here's a section of my config file implementing a "Last Edit" field:

Type Last Edit = datetime
Preset Last Edit =$date
Locked Attributes = Last Edit
Subst on edit Last Edit = $date
Start page = ?rsort=Last Edit

I expected that "Preset Last Edit =$date" would set Last Edit to the current date when I create a new entry. In fact that leaves the field empty, or at least not in datetime format.

I found that using this instead works:
Preset Last Edit =$entry time

which seems contradictory since
Subst on edit Last Edit = $date
works fine.


Do you have an old version of elog? Using the current version with a configuration file:
Attributes = Author, Type, Last Edit
Type Last Edit = datetime
Preset Last Edit =$date
Locked Attributes = Last Edit
Start page = ?rsort=Last Edit

I get the correct behavior:

Yes, I'm using 2.7.3 - I'll try upgrading, sorry. I'll reply with the outcome.

I would like to export several entries out of a logbook I have with a specific subject. 

I need to send these entries to someone who does not have elog nor can they install it.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

 Yes. Go to the "find" page, select your subject, check "CSV", "XML" or "RAW" and click on search.

 Thanks for the information, looks like the csv options don't export the actual entry.  I'll have to play with the other formats they look like html.

I am tring to sort  the attribute, subject, but it sorts with Z on top and A on the bottom. Is there anyway to reverse sort?

 Sorry, to bother you. Solved my own problem   " Reverse sort = 0"

Sorry, I haven't fully documented it yet, will do on Monday next week. For 
now, see the configuration file for this forum which is attached.

I want to know if there were some way to insert a screen shot directly into the log book instead of going through the "save-attach" procedure. i.e. add some plug in button to do this under Linux?

Or, can I just make a plain log file "xxxx.log" and put it into the directory? Will that work?

Thanks

You cannot directly paste a screen shot into an elog entry. Use HoverSnap (Windows) or ksnapshot (linux) to produce directly an image file, then you need only two mouse clicks (browse and select file). There is also an Add-On for FireFox called "dragdropupload" which can be used for drag-and-drop a file into the attachment file selector.
