I hope this is the correct place for an apparent bug report. The display is incorrect except when displaying a particular entry. I just downloaded 2.6.0-beta thinking I was getting 2.5.9.

I will attach two screen captures for illustraton. Never mind, I guess not. It is not letting me upload the screen captures. On the main screen, for example, my field contents for "Route" appear in the "Text" field. But when on the specific entry screen, these field contents are in the correct field. I will be glad to eamil the screen captures, if anyone wants.

I am running Firefox 1.0.3 (same results with IE 6, BTW), on a WinXP OS (sorry fellows, but I am still in process of learning Linux, so I have not tried this version of elog on it, yet), on a Gateway 2.2 GHZ, 1 GB RAM PC.


BTW, I love elog and have it running at work. It is being used extensively.


I guess it did upload. Here is the other screen capture.

Never mind. I figured it out. I used two fields (date and time) that are automatically placed in elog. It messed up the spacing, altough what was puzzling was that it displayed correctly on the entry itself, but not the list. Anyway, I renamed the date and time to another name and it is ok.

Thanks, anyway. Keep up the good work.

Hello Alex and Stefan,

I know of only one way to "hide" the text of the status bar in a web browser;
use JavaScript - specifically the status method (as in the following example):

<!-- the following goes in the body of the document, perhaps in a link. -->

<!-- sample link -->
<a href="javascript://place link url here"
onMouseOver="window.status='Status Bar Text Goes Here'; return true">Link Text Here</a>

<!-- place the following script in the head of the document -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!--
window.defaultStatus="Default Status Bar Text Here";
--></script>

Of course the above only works in those browsers that support javascripting,
but it is one way to hide the actual text of links from the user.
Hopefully this helps you!

Hi Stefan,

I have found a little problem with elog. I'am using ELOG V2.5.8-6. When I'am on the logon page,
I type my Login and password and hit "submit", in the bottom of IE, we can show my password without encryption, it can be dangerous. I have made a screenshot to explain my problem better.
Could you fix it for the next release ?
Thanks a lot.
Alex

I don't have double checked .. but .. why we need to pass the sensible information in the Query String ??
Are you sure that putting it in an hidden field (and eventualli using a GET methon in the <form>-tag) can't be a solution?

Hidden means only these fields are not shown in the form, but they are added to the URL in the same way as non-hidden fields. But I got another idea: I will try to use a POST form instead of the GET form. Using the POST method, fields are attached to the request and not present in the URL. Hope this will work. When I find some time to work on it I will let you know.

  1168   Thu Jun 2 06:45:55 2005 Question Gary Claysong_clayson@sbcglobal.netInfoWindowslatestA comprehensive listing of all commands elog performs
Can someone please enter a comprehensive list of the commands eLog will honor. I'm trying to build a 'decent' start page and am not totally familiar with eLog just yet. Thanks Stefan for an awesome application. The documentation is really decent, too. I just have been unable to locate a list of all commands available.
Thanks in advance.

We just did the 2.60 beta upgrade, and now our pre-existing logbooks, with a
List Display = Name, Author, Date for example will only show the first two fields.

It seems like Elog is dropping the last attribute in the List Display line.

We can 'fix' it by making it say:
List Display = Name, Author, Date, Date
so that it drops the second Date, but that is a bad workaround.

Anyone else seeing this?

Elog 2.60 beta on Linux, Firefox 1.04 as the client. Or IE fully patched on WinXP SP2.

PS: Love Elog at work here too! Truly has made our documentation way better. And RSS feeds of the logbooks is just wonderful.
