icon5.gif   Office 2007 file attachments download as zip due to mime config, posted by Rich Sterling on Tue May 5 01:47:36 2009 TEST_IN_DOC_FORMAT.docTEST_IN_DOCX_FORMAT.docx

Submitted as a question because some folks may consider this a bug in IE (but not MS obviously because IE8 does the same).  When you upload a new open XML attachment (Office 2007 file extension, docx, ppts, xlsx, etc) the attachment is not recognized properly in IE and it tries to download as a zip file (since the OOXML is actually is a zipped set of XML docs).  This is something that is widely recognized on the Internet ( http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=docx+internet+explorer+zip&aq=1&oq=docx+internet ) but is typically resolved by adding the mime extensions at the web server level. 

Are there any plans to add the new mime extensions to the elogd.c source? (Instead of forcing users to use FireFox or Right click, save-as and rename?

 Ok, I added the MIME extensions in ELOG Rev. 2196. The forum runs already the updated version, so can you try with the demo attachments from your entry?

 It looks good from here!  Thanks!!

icon4.gif   BUG: lost entry data, posted by Rich Persaud on Wed Nov 24 00:17:45 2004 
After THREE tries to enter a long detailed list of questions, all have been 
replaced by just one:  why do ELOG textareas and entry forms lose all data 
if the browser goes back/forward?  Or if a submission causes an error?  
Other forms in other applications don't have this kind of data loss.

Submitting this now before I lose it again.  Will submit rest of questions 
as separate entries.

Is there any way to search for all attributes _except_ a certain value?
icon4.gif   Konqueror and Calendar widget, posted by Rich Persaud on Wed Nov 24 00:44:09 2004 
Date selection from the calendar widget does not work in Konqueror.  

Clicking on a date results in year being populated, but month and day are 
blank.
icon3.gif   Display links for multiple-option attributes, posted by Rich Persaud on Wed Nov 24 00:45:43 2004 
Can "Display" links work with multiple options? 

"ABC | DEF" is currently one link.

Ideally, it would be two links, each formatted per the "Display" string.
icon3.gif   Non-wildcard or numeric search for numeric attribute, posted by Rich Persaud on Wed Nov 24 00:48:17 2004 
Is there a way to disable wildcard matching in searches?

A search for "1" returns "1" and "10" and "11".  

Is there a way to perform an explict match?

Could there be a numeric match if the attribute type is numeric?
icon3.gif   Multi-parent relationships between logbook items, posted by Rich Persaud on Wed Nov 24 00:50:27 2004 
Could there be a multi-value option for free text fields, e.g. comma-
separated?  This would allow multi-parent relationships between log items. 

E.g. specifying 12, 15 as a value would create unique Display links 
for "12" and "15", based on the Display specification for that attribute.

This would be like "multiple fixed options", for the purpose of formatting.
