    It would be great to have a range of [H1][/H1], [H2][/H2], ... tags that map directly to their HTML counterparts (and have buttons, of course... Big grin ). That makes structuring an entry much easier in my opinion (and the output is easier to deal with for tools like html2ps) and I'm really missing those.
  • Tables
    This one is probably more difficult to add, but support for simple tables would be enough. But this is more a "nice to have"...


Yes, I missed tables myself already. The headings I just put into the current SVN version (see this forum for how it works). Tables are a bit harder to implement and will come later. Do you have a proposal for a possible syntax? A 1:1 relation to HTML would look like this:

[tr][th]heading1[/th][th]heading2[/th][/tr] [tr][td]data1[/td][td]data2[/td][/tr]


But that does not look very sexy to me. Maybe somehting like

heading 1 heading 2 heading 3
data 1 data 2 data 3


this looks a bit like the "pipe" mode from a Wiki

what do you think?

Very nice, thanks! I'm a bit torn as to whether I like the way I have to enter the level by keyboard or whether I'd rather see something like with the smileys (i.e. some "level menu" opens once "H" is pressed). The former is faster, while the latter doesn't require moving between the mouse and the keyboard. But that's just a detail - not really that important.

Yup, I remember using that kind of "pipe" structure in Wikis and I actually liked it. I think it's a lot easier to read in the "source" as well - and it reminds me remotely of LaTeX... Wink Also, it doesn't require much to just type it out instead of using buttons to make the cells. Definitely good enough for the simple type of tables I had in mind!

Well, some people want that!


Ok, fair enough. But maybe there could be an optional flag in the configuration that disables blank passwords... I wouldn't want some imposter to start entering stuff under the username of another user, so it would be nice if I could have some way of forcing them to have a password, even if it's a one-letter password.

Thanks,

Dimitris

Ok, I added an empty password check. If too many people will complain, I will make it a flag.

Hello Mr. Ritt,

I've changed the category to "Request" because I think it would be practical
if I can hide the attributes which are build on values of other attributes with
"Change".

Have you tried

Show Attributes = Admin, Hostname, IP-Adresse, Funktion, RIB Hostname, RIB IP

???

Does it bother you if then the attributes are also hidden in the detailed view?

No, I havn't tried it, because it's the only way where I can see ALL attributes, and
I belief, that it works to hide the attributes on all views.

Here an Example:

I have 5 attributes where I can enter values, and 5 addtitional attributes build on them.
I can't see all of them in list view, so the only way to see/use them is the detailed view.
But because there is no value to insert/change these attributes should be hidden in NEW/EDIT mode.
As an workaround I LOCK/FIX these attributes so I can't insert values, but there are now many empty lines.
So if you can implement this functionality it would be great, but if not it's not so bad, 
I can "live" with it ;)

Holger

I implemented a "Hide attributes = ..." option, with which you can do what you requested, but unfortunately I'm
sitting here in Siberia and have only limited internet access, so I can only submit the modification next weekend.
