Count me also in for the to-do list climbing :-D

Hello,

is it possible to export the Text Field and the entries in this field to a csv file? If yes, what are the settings to do this?

Regards

Michael

A CSV file is by definition one line per entry. So if you have several lines in your Text Field, how will you be able to squeeze this into one line?

Alternatively you can export to XML, which contains the Text Field, then do a manual conversion to something else. 

 Thanks for your fast answer.

I want to extend the usage of ELOG and have 2 Questions:

1. Is it possible to have Fields which only appears if another selection is done? e.g. I create a new entry. This new entry has a type field. If I chose the Type "ABC" another field appears where the departemnt could be choosen. If I select Type "DEF" the Department field does not appear.

2. I have a field Status. This is a predefined field with 3 entries (New,  under progress, closed). If i change the status field time, date old and new status should be logged or written in the text field. I can log this with the answer field with a new ID. But is there any other way to log it in the text field or log it with no new ID? 

Can i implement the wishes above? If yes how does it work?

Thanks for your help

Michael

1. is simple, just use conditional attributes like:

Attributes = Author, Type, Status, Revisions, Department
Options Type = ABD{1}, DEF{2}
Show Attributes Edit = Author, Type, Status, Revisions
{1}Show Attributes Edit = Author, Type, Status, Revisions, Department
{2}Show Attributes Edit = Author, Type, Status, Revisions

2. is more complicated. Have a look at FAQ # 11. Try something like:

Options Status = New, Under progress, Closed
Subst Revisions = $date status $status
Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions<br>$date status $status

But when testing this, I realized that there is a bug in elog and the subsitution is done before the submission, not after. I fixed that in SVN revision 2263, so it will be contained in the next Windows release.

I just reworked the "Subst" command to make it more consistently. Now "Subst on Edit" and "Subst on Reply" are executed after the entry submission,  and they are mutually exclusive. So all you need right now is

Subst Tag = #

and it will not increment when editing or replying to an existing entry. The fix is in SVN revision 2264.

ok, so I removed the "Pragma: no-cache". With IE it looks fine now, and if I repeat it two times it always gets is from elog and not from the cache due to the "Expires:" statement. The "no-cache" came from old days when some browsers did not yet support the "Expires" tag. I hope that this is better now, so let's see when we get the first complaints. The modification is in SVN revision 2265.
