Tested SVN v 2147 and all looks OK

Could the "Copyright:" line in the elog.spec file be changed to "License:" for the next release? Without this change an RPM can't be built on FC4 (RPM 4.4.1). With the change, rpms can still be built in Enterprise linux 3 (RPM 4.2.3).


Wow, the RPM build depends on that name? Interesting. I changed it in the SVN version, so it will be contained in the next release.

Thanks for reporting this. I fixed it in the current CVS version.

This is not possible at the moment, but I will add it to the wish list.

I am implementing ELOG for our Gas Control Centre.
Log entries sort ok when I click the ID or Date column title but not my custom attributes column headers???
Any suggestions?


Indeed that was a bug, thanks for reporting it. I fixed it in the intermediate release which you can download at

We use elog for (amongst other things) a simple change management log.  About two dozen users allowed to do updates and their email addresses are listed at the bottom of the page to allow any of them to be included on circulation for a change request.  The email addresses appear in the order that they were added (i.e. apparently random).  Is there any way to sort these, ideally by Last part of Full Name/First part of Full Name, but login name or email address would be OK?

 

Ok, I added sorting for "museremail" and "muserlist" type of attributes. Sorting is simply done by sorting the email addresses and first part of full name, respectively. The change is implemented in SVN revision #2115.

Hi

I've just upgraded to 2.7.5 mainly because I wanted to have Museremail sorted.  We use this to list contacts on an RFC form and it's much easier to find the ones you want when they are in a predictable sequence.  As an extension to this it would be great if they could be sorted by the last part of their real name - typical user, give him a sweetie and he wants jam on it!

cheers

 That's a bit hard since different groups enter their names differently. While for a human it's easy to figure out what the family name is (usually), this must not be true for a computer. So I would propose that you enter the real names in the sequence family name, given name like

Ritt, Stefan
Doe, John

then sorting will work as you like.
