icon4.gif   Quicklink does not work for one field, posted by mark james on Mon Oct 24 12:00:51 2005 
I am not so bold as to log this as a bug but one of my Quicklink fields just do not work. It is the "Spacecraft" field. When I select any 'Spacecraft' quicklink, the no. of records stays exactly the same (i.e. no. in full recordset). If I select F1, then I see F1 highlight in yellow in the string "4F1". But strangely the "F1" entries are not highlight. Very strange.

icon1.gif   ELOG v2.6.0-beta5 (Windows) crashes while using " Forgot password?", posted by Edmundo T Rodriguez on Thu Nov 3 23:39:46 2005 
The following ELOG behavior seems to be like a bug ...

-> Anybody click on "Forgot password?" in the login screen, to have the system
send him the forgotten password, and after a little while trying, (possibly doing
resolution) the ELOG application crashes.

The ELOG service have to registered again.

The SMPT host may not be right, but ELOG should not crash just for that.

It should says something like "Can not find SMTP server", etc.

Have anybody got into this problem?, or
What else could be causing this behavior?

I have fixed that in SVN revision 1541.
icon5.gif   Automatic creation of new entry in another logbook, posted by Carlos Mateo on Thu Nov 17 11:50:45 2005 
Hi

I am trying to create an entry in logbook2 when I submit a new entry in logbook1. The automatically created entry in logbook2 will have a reference to the entry that created it.

So far I have tried several ways:

1.- Using the "Execute new" I call elog to create the second entry. As the server is single-process, it locks: elog is waiting for elogd to be ready and elogd is waiting for elog to finish to accept new requests.
As my server is on a Windows machine I can´t execute elog on background.

2.- I tried to run 2 servers on different ports using the same elogd.cfd file, calling the second server from elog. This "almost" works: the logbook files are updated, but the original server must be restarted to "see" the changes.

3.- Using the "Menu text" option, I create a link to create the new entry. The problem is that attributes are not parsed: a link like this <a href="/logbook2/?cmd=New&pAttr=Value $ID">Test</a> won´t substitute $ID

Is there a way to do what I want?

TIA,
Carlos
icon5.gif   Send a email to E-log?, posted by Dinesh Bapat on Fri Nov 18 08:40:13 2005 
Is it possible to send an email to Elog and record an entry automatically?We have situations where endusers have very narrow bandwidth email access. But no broadband to update E-log. Is there some mechanism so that they can send a email and it update Elog automatically?Thanks in advance.
icon5.gif   Changing width in entry mode, posted by Ulrich Trüssel on Fri Nov 18 10:53:26 2005 Eingabe.jpgAnzeige.jpg
I'd like to change the width of the display when entering a new record. But I didn't find the right way after trying some time:Problem: see pic "Eingabe.jpg", if thre are more MOptions to select in entry mode, I have to scroll from right to left all the time. Ti s isn't really comfortable.Is there any option to fix the widht of the entry screen to a fix width in pixels or to the screen width? "Ausgabe.jpg" as ex., so multiple moptions would be arranged on multiple lines like in the display mode for the record.I checked the flags as well as the CSS but didn't find a solution. But maybe anybody has the right idea?To have a flag or someting to switch between the two entry modes would be fantastic and give a lot more of flexiblity for adaption to different sizes of screens.Thank's a lot for any idea!

Please tell me for what purpose you need two identical logbooks. Maybe what you want can be achieved in a simpler way.

Have you tried to start your elog with the start command under Widnows, like start elog .... This is the equivalent of starting a process in the background under linux.

This is because you use the same data directory for both servers. If one server writes a new entry to a file, the other server does not realize this. Only when you restart it, it rescans the whole data directory and gets aware of the new entry. Try using separate data directories for the two servers.

Parsing attributes is not implemented and therefore will not work.
