Hello,
I'm having some difficulties in having a tasks manager up and running.
The total attributes list is:
 
- Attributes = List, Project, SubProject, SubSubProject, Title, Priority, Context, Status, Due Date, Start Date, Alarm, Repeat
 
I would like to have the interface display the following attribute when I click "New":
 
- List (Options = Personal, Work)
 
After choosing a List "Personal" I would like to have the following attributes available for edit:
 
- List (Options = Personal, Work)
- Project (Options = Dummy1)
- Title
- Priority (Options = ...)
- Context (Options = ...)
- Status (Options = ...)
- Due Date (datetime)
- Start Date (datetime)
- Alarm (datetime)
- Repeat (Options = ...)
 
After choosing the Project "Dummy1" I would like to have the following attributes available for edit:
 
- List (Options = Personal, Work)
- Project (Options = Dummy1)
- SubProject (Options = Dummy2)
- Title
- Priority (Options = ...)
- Context (Options = ...)
- Status (Options = ...)
- Due Date (datetime)
- Start Date (datetime)
- Alarm (datetime)
- Repeat (Options = ...)
 
where Dummy2 is an option of the SubProject attribute only because Dummy1 was the chosen option of attribute Project.
 
What happens is that when I choose Dummy1 from the Project attribute, the SubProject attribute is not displayed in order to be editable.
 
Is there a way around this?
 
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Diogo
 
Here's the configuration file relative to the "Tasks" logbook:
================================================
Password file = passwords.pwd
Self register = 0
Admin user = someuser
Login user = someuser
Allow password change = 1
Theme = default
Comment = Task Manager

Attributes = List, Project, SubProject, Title, Priority, Context, Status, Due Date, Start Date, Alarm, Repeat
List display = ID, Date, Author, List, Title, Priority
Show Attributes Edit = List

Options List = Personal{1}, Work{2}
Options Priority = High, Medium, Low, None
Options Context = @ Home, @ Work - IST
Options Status = Not Started, Start Delayed, Started, Started - On Hold, 1/4 Done, 1/4 Done - On Hold, 1/2 Done, 1/2 Done - On Hold, 3/4 Done, 3/4 Done - On Hold, Done
Options Repeat = Hourly, Daily, Weekdays, Weekend days, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly

{1} Show Attributes Edit = List, Project, Title, Priority, Context, Status, Due Date, Start Date, Alarm, Repeat
{1} Options Project = Dummy1{11}
{11} Show Attributes Edit = List, Project, SubProject, Title, Priority, Context, Status, Due Date, Start Date, Alarm, Repeat
{11} Options SubProject = DummyChild1

Extendable options = List, Project, SubProject, SubSubProject
Type Due Date = datetime
Type Start Date = datetime
Type Alarm = datetime
Required Attributes = List, Title
Reverse sort = 1
Default encoding = 0 ; ELcode
Thumbnail size = 500
 

There is one "feature" which causes this not to work. If an option is present several times (in your case "Show Attributes Edit"), the first one is taken which fulfills the current condition(s). So what happens is you select List=Personal, which triggers condition "1". Then you select "Dummy1", which triggers condition "11". Now elog goes top down, finds that List=Personal, so sets condition "1", then continues, finds {1} Show Attributes Edit = ... and takes this one. What I propose is to do the following:

 

Options List = Personal{1}, Work{2}
...
{3} Show Attributes Edit = List, Project, SubProject, Title, Priority, Context, Status, Due Date, Start Date, Alarm, Repeat
{3} Options SubProject = DummyChild1
{1} Show Attributes Edit = List, Project, Title, Priority, Context, Status, Due Date, Start Date, Alarm, Repeat
{1} Options Project = Dummy1{3}

Note that {3} Show Attributed Edit come before {1} Show Attributes Edit, so as soon as you select "Dummy1", the first "Show Attributes Edit" gets 
activated which contains "SubProject".

 

 

 Thank you ... good to know about these elog features. Works fine now!!!

Hello Stefan,

how can I activate the part like: Subscribe to logbooks: Linux Demo, Database, etc.. regarding enable automatic email notifications

Just check the check boxes:

Isn't that obvious?

 

Sorry wrong question, I meant how can I configure this part?

There is nothing to activate. As soon as you have some logbooks defined and you are using user level access ("password file = ..."), this page will show up. 

 Sorry,

was my mistake, may I,m a little bit stressed.

cheers,

Michael

Hi Stefan,

I'm interested in the current configuration file for this discussion forum. Could you please post it to the
'config examples' logbook?

Thanks,
Bertram

icon1.gif   elogd keeps crashing, any thoughts?, posted by Allen on Thu Dec 3 20:25:50 2009 

We are trying to track down an issue where elogd just stops, and I cannot seem to find a cause.

 

In the logs, I see:
Dec  3 14:01:23 nissrv18a kernel: [419738.139675] elogd[32003]: segfault at 4 ip 00007f183b19b560 sp 00007fff79f5e278 error 4

Any thoughts?

 I need more information about that. Please have a look at Faq #19.

Fantastic. I forgot the icon and when I resent nothing was left. 

Here goes again!

I have been running Elog for years on a Win2K machine with no email problems. I have been forced to move it to a WinXP machine and I always get this message under WinXP: "Error sending Email via "netsvr10.prod.company.com": Cannot connect to server"

 

I noticed this a long time ago but was not concerned until I wqas forced to use WinXP. We have years of data in the Elog and to lose the use of it would hinder our operation a lot.

 

Here is an entry from the elog.log file when it worked under Win2K:

28-Oct-2009 18:28:38 [609144@199.82.127.9] {Generals} NEW entry #0
28-Oct-2009 18:28:38 [609144@199.82.127.9] {Generals} Email from <christophermeyer@fedex.com> to david.spindler@company.com, SMTP host smtp.mail.company.com
28-Oct-2009 18:28:42 [609144@199.82.127.9] {Generals} 220 netsvr10.prod.company.com -- Server ESMTP (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-8.01 (built Dec 16 2008; 32bit))

 

Here is an entry from today's elog.log under WinXP that does not work.

06-Mar-2010 11:48:23 [117361@127.0.0.1] {Gbld} NEW entry #0
06-Mar-2010 11:48:23 [117361@127.0.0.1] {Gbld} Email from <david.spindler@company.com> to david.spindler@company.com, SMTP host smtp.mail.company.com
06-Mar-2010 11:48:23 [117361@127.0.0.1] {Gbld} READ entry #1612

We use an SMTP server without authentication.
