  67411   Wed Jan 2 15:38:19 2013 Question Barendoffice@amtc2.comQuestionWindows2.9Re-using IDs after move to another Logbook overwrite Entries

Hi Stefan,

I have observed following behavior when I move entries from one logbook to another:

  1. The first entry in "Open" get ID "1"
  2. When I move this Item to "Closed", it will keep ID "1" as I have used "Preserve IDs = 1"
  3. A new entry in "Open" gets ID "1" again
  4. When I move this item to "Closed" it will overwrite the previous ID "1" in "Closed"
  5. A new entry in "open" gets ID "1" again....

Every new entry in "Open" will get the next higher ID Number related to the highest available ID number/entry in "Open".

Upon "move to Closed", the previous entries in "Closed"will be overwritten.

Is there a way to prevent the usage of a previously used ID Number when entering a new ID?
I.e. If an entry with ID "1" has been used in "Open" and moved to "Closed", have the next entry in "Open" use ID "2"?

Kind regards,

Barend

  67410   Wed Jan 2 14:04:41 2013 Question Barendoffice@amtc2.comQuestionWindows2.9.2Hide/Un-hide Commands based on Attribute Option value

Hi Stefan,

Happy New Year!

I ran several searches thru the forum but I could not detect a suitable entry on the following:

Is it possible to hide/un-hide the Commands, like "Edit", "Reply", "Duplicate", from the Menu based upon an Option of an Attribute?

E.g. Attributes = Status, .. | Options Status = Open, Closed

When Status = "Open"; the Menu Commands "Edit", "Reply" and "Duplicate" are available.

When Status = "Closed"; the Menu Commands "Edit", "Reply" and "Duplicate" are hidden/not available.

-or-

Can this only be accomplished using 2 Logbooks (Open / Closed) and move an entry from "Open" to "Closed" where the Logbook "Closed" is not using the Commands  "Edit", "Reply", "Duplicate".

 

Kind regards,

Barend

Hi there,

It seems that by default in a message created as "reply" of another message, the "quoted text" of the original entry is put at the _TOP_ of the new entry and not movable (Firefox 17, elog 2.92). I would strongly like to have it opposite, i.e. that one is able to create a new text first and only then has the "quoted text" since people are interested to see a new information and only then the previous messages as sort of "reminder". It was like this in older (2.6?) version but now I did not find how to change this default behavior. Did I miss something?

Cheers

I use plain encoding, cannot answer for the others but it should do the trick as it's in the documentation.  I'm using Firefox some large number and 2.9.2.-2475

I do what I believe you want, and get it by having the following line in my config file for that logbook (which is part of elog.cfg):

 Prepend on reply = \n

This gives a blank line at the "top" of the entries when you start a reply, and all the previous entries gain another "> " unless you've also altered that default behaviou (as in fact I have).  The result then looks like:

Latest line of text

> Previous entry

> > Previous entry to that

Hello,

Is there still a limit of 50 attachments per topic?  If so, is there or could there be a parameter to change this setting?

Thanks,

  67406   Tue Dec 18 23:03:57 2012 Question Hal Proctorhproctor2@gmail.comQuestionWindows2.91Main Logbook screen with Multi Grouped Logbooks with unique user permissions

I have a couple questions on how to configure multiple logbooks with groups.

  1. How can I have a user have permissions to a single logbook that is within a group and jump to it using tabs?
    1. Launching from main/home screen may work, but using tabs from one group to another where the single workbook resides in a group of others, it errors out or asks for login to a logbook you may not have rights to.(always the first book in the group)
  2. How can I force a main login to direct you to the MAIN logbook selection screen?

 

Example: (use images for reference)  A user has permissions to "Punch" and "Maintenance".  Maintenance is a single logbook and Punch is within the group "Dry Room". 

While the user is in Maintenance and without having to jump back to the MAIN selection screen, how can the user select the Tab "Dry Room" as seen in image, without throwing up or redirecting you?

I don't see any mistake in the configuration file. Did you switch the "Encoding" from HTML to plain? (Radio buttons at the bottom just below the text window). Is there a problem with your FCKEditor? Do you see the formatting menu bar? 

 I do not get the formatting menu with HTML.  I switched to plain and code still exists.  The only formatting menu I get is when I choose ELCode.   I have no problem with this forum seeing the formatting menu with HTML (although it does take some time to load). 

 Tested it in Chrome and acts the same as IE8 (just much slower)

 It's version issue!!   2.92 does not utilize FCKeditor correctly.  Backed off one version and it works fine!  2.91 is GOOD!

Actually I can confirm a similar issue with 2.9.2:

when I create a new entry with the default "HTML" encoding and then swap to "plain", the text area is cluttered with HTML code (see attachment new_entry.txt)

I did notice it, but I did not pay much attention to it. But I agree is should be fixed. But in my case it could be related to a firefox add-on "It's all text" that uses java script to modify the HTML code.
