Hi,
One of my logbooks is a fault reporting system; it emails a group of people when a fault is reported. There is an MOption 'Technical Groups', and I want to have a tooltip for each checkbox which shows who is referred to by each group name. However, individual tooltips for each MOption attribute don't seem to work. I've looked at the HTML code, and there's no 'title' attribute for the checkboxes, so it's not a browser problem. I've attached my config file. Any idea what's going wrong?

The syntax for tooltips is
Tooltip <attribute option> = <tooltip>
but you have
Tooltip "<attribute>" "<attribute option>" = <tooltip>
which is not correct, but would make more sense, since you could have an attribut option being valid for several attributes. So I changed elogd to accept both syntax in revision 2158. Please note that you should not put "quotes" around attribute values or options. |

Thanks! I got rid of the quotes around everything, and it works now.

Is there a way to add a 'Tool Tips' to individual 'Options' similar to that currently available for Attributes? I have several checkboxes under an attribute for predefined email groups and would like to see if I can make the recipient list viewable via a mouse hover using the 'Tool tip' feature.
If not possible can it be added to the wishlist? |
Ok, I implemented this. It is in revision 1760 and will be contained in the next release. |

That's really great, thank you so much.
What will the configuration line be? |

If you have
MOptions item = value_1, value_2
you can do a
Tooltip value_1 = text |

Thanks Stefan,
When implemented there seems to be a finite number of characters that are visible under a tool tip, is this an OS defined limit or something that can be changed? |

ELOG itself has a limit of 256 characters, but that can be changed easily. I found that Mozilla Firefox only showed 70 characters and then three dots ("..."), while Internet Explorer showed all 256 characters, wrapping words if necessary. So it strongly depends on the browser. |

Thanks, we use Internet Explorer in service but I tested using Mozilla (hence above).
I'd really like to be able change the limit to more than 256 characters, is this simply a configuration parameter or a code change? |
