Thanks! I put that into revision #2207.

 This is a major improvement. The only issue now is when we embed an image in the body of the message elog makes a nice thumbnail. When you move the message to another logbook the thumbnail doesn't work and instead it shows the MASSIVE full size version of the picture instead. Is that possible to fix?

 

Thanks Stefan!

Mike

Can you try revision #2206? 

 

 Stefan,

Works perfectly, thanks for the fix you rock!

I need some guidedance on how to access the logbook from another computer. I installed the logbook on a Windows server machine and started the logbook using port 81.

I can connect to the logbook on the same machine, but I can not access it from another machine on the same network.

I already confirm that the windows firewall is not enable.

 

Are your sure about the firewall, because this is the usual reason for that problem. Can you "ping" your server machine from the other machine (like "ping <server>"), maybe you have some network problems.

This rings a bell: it's probably related to some internal stack overflow, since the entries are copied 
recursively. I have an idea on how to fix that, but I need time for that.

Greetings,

I was wondering, is it possible to wrap lines in the config file ?

I have to add a dropdown lost which is kinda long and typing everything on one line will make ik kinda unreadable.
Somehow wrapping the line so each entry will get on a separate line would make it much better readable. (which
makes less errors).


What I do is to use an editor with automatic wrapping functions, like the free PSPad editor. It nicely wraps line and indicates that:

Hello

I have the following in elog.cfg :

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server, Subject ,  Change Window Begin , Change Window End
List display = ID,Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server,  Subject , 
Change Window Begin , Change Window End

Type Change Window Begin = datetime
Type Change Window End = datetime

So I want to be able to give a start and end date to the user.  However : If I open a find/Search I see this :

  Clipboard01.jpg

There are for each  Change Window <item>   we get  Start: and End: time entries. Was expecting only one date entrie .

Why is this ? Seems to be a feature of datetime  or am i missing something.

 

 

Right, that's a feature. Many people want to specify a range when doing a query on a date. Like Change Window Begin after Jan 1st, 2009 and before Jan 5th, 2009. If you just want a single date, set both Start: and End: to the same date, or actually the End: to Start+1 Day to cover all 24 hours of the Start: date. Otherwise when you have data + time, you would have to match the exact second to retrieve a certain entry. So having a range there is more powerful.

Hmmm... I have to use vi and was hoping an \ at the end of the line (before the LF) would be supported.
