There are several methods to get the server time:

Via presets of attributes

Attributes = Author, Event time, ...

Preset Event time = $utcdate

which gives you actually the UTC time.

Via the editor

The editor toolbar contains a little clock. If you click on it, you insert the current server time (but localized, not UTC).

Hope one of the two methods work for you.

The problem with the conditional attributes in the find page is I believe fixed in the current version.

I'm also having issues with conditional entries in the Find page. If a conditional statement is used to hide attributes or change displayed attributes in the entry page then the attribute that is used in the conditional statement is not permanently selectable in the 'Find' page. It is available as a choice but as soon as selected the conditional action removes it? Is it possible to make conditional options/actions in the 'Find' page optional?

Hope that makes a little sense?

Many thanks

Is there a way to distribute e-mail based on the consideration of several attributes and values?  A simple example:  attributes type and category have several different values, say, routine and problem for type and hardware and software for category, but one would only like messages sent when there's a problem to different sets of hardware or software types.  Thus:

Email

type routine   category hardware = no message

                        category software = no message

type problem  category hardware = a@bcd.efg, h@ijk.lmn

                         category software = 1@opq.rst, 2@uvw.xyz

I have Split Elog to Two Top Group [Check the Config Below].

Problem = 

After Staff01 login successfully to http://127.0.0.1/Staff and if he/she fill the url http://127.0.0.1/Administrator and choose any elog topic, it will direct registration form.

[global]
port = 8080
Self register = 0
Show top groups = 1
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
Restrict edit = 1

Top group Staff = Website, Notes
Top group Administrator = Website Update, Admin Notes, Ticketing

[global Staff]
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config
Password file = staff.pwd
Admin user = sylpid
Login user = staff01

[global Administrator]
Password file = admin.pwd
Admin user = sylpid
Login user = admin01

It would be new to me if elog would support independent [global] sections for each logbook.
I thought you can only have one [global] section. Whatever is defined in that section will be valid for all logbooks.

If you need to have different user files, you'll need to run different elogd services with independent config files (and Password files).
