I want to extend the usage of ELOG and have 2 Questions:

1. Is it possible to have Fields which only appears if another selection is done? e.g. I create a new entry. This new entry has a type field. If I chose the Type "ABC" another field appears where the departemnt could be choosen. If I select Type "DEF" the Department field does not appear.

2. I have a field Status. This is a predefined field with 3 entries (New,  under progress, closed). If i change the status field time, date old and new status should be logged or written in the text field. I can log this with the answer field with a new ID. But is there any other way to log it in the text field or log it with no new ID? 

Can i implement the wishes above? If yes how does it work?

Thanks for your help

Michael

1. is simple, just use conditional attributes like:

Attributes = Author, Type, Status, Revisions, Department
Options Type = ABD{1}, DEF{2}
Show Attributes Edit = Author, Type, Status, Revisions
{1}Show Attributes Edit = Author, Type, Status, Revisions, Department
{2}Show Attributes Edit = Author, Type, Status, Revisions

2. is more complicated. Have a look at FAQ # 11. Try something like:

Options Status = New, Under progress, Closed
Subst Revisions = $date status $status
Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions<br>$date status $status

But when testing this, I realized that there is a bug in elog and the subsitution is done before the submission, not after. I fixed that in SVN revision 2263, so it will be contained in the next Windows release.
 

 Hello,

i tried

Options Status = New, Under progress, Closed
Subst Revisions = $date status $status
Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions<br>$date status $status

but it won't work. When I change the status i saw an information in the status bar of Internet Explorer like "Entry has changed" (Eintrag wurde verändert) but it is not written in the notes field. Or is it written to another field?  

Do I have to update first to the latest Windows Version? You wrote something about SVN revision 2263. When do you expect the windows version where this problem is fixed is available to download?

 Hello,

it now works with the revisions. When do you expect that the new Windos version, which corrects the error you described, is available for download?

You can download version 2.7.8 already since a while from  https://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/windows/

I installed the latest windows Version but have massive Problems with it. I can create a new entry and the revisions filed is updated. If I want to change the status field from "new" to e.g. "under progress" the elogd service at the server crashes every time i want to save the changes so i switched back to 2.7.5-2130 and it works without any service crashes.

Can you try elog278-2. It should fix that problem.

Hello,

We use ELOG for many years and enjoy it's functions every day!

Lately, we see errors whenever we add an entry in elog: 554 MailTransferAgentServer ESMTP not accepting messages

We see this from various ELOG servers. Other (non ELOG) servers using the same MailTransferAgentServer do not heve this error.

We are able to send mail messages from the ELOG machines manually via TELNET. So, from a functional point of view, all works well.

We had this error in the past and found out that the cause of this error lies in (network) time-outs.

Questions:
1) Has anyone seen this error before?
2) Is it possible to increase the timeout value used by ELOG?
3) Are the emails that could not be sent stored in a queue/resent later or are they lost?
4) is there a fix?

Any replies are highly appreciated!

T I A !

Just my 2 cent: did you try to reproduce the problem with the latest ELOG version 2.9.2?

Kind Regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Thank you very much for your reply. Thsi problem occurs also with the latest ELOG version 2.9.2

It would be nice if the timeout value(s) can be edited via the elogd.cfg file. Maybe this can be added in a new 
version.

Best regards,
Ron

Could you run elogd interactively with the "-v" flag to log the communication between elogd and the ESMTP server and send me the traffic log?

Hello Stefan,

Thanks you for entering this thread !

Fortunately, we were able to solve the problem. A reboot of the DNS server used by the MTA (Mail Transfer Agent Server) to check the from and to address did the trick.

This server now responds within the timeout period in ELOG.

It still would be handy if you could add a parameter to the config file that allows us to fiddle with the timeout value. The DNS server used by the MTA has to deal with heavy load.

Best regards,
Ron

 

 

 

 

  66116   Wed Dec 17 19:43:25 2008 Question Dan C.chaospry@gmail.comQuestionLinux2.7.5-1Display Revisions field in single entry but not in list view
Hello,

   Thank you for such a great software package!

   I would like to ask how I can display the Revisions field in the single entry view but not in the list view. I followed the FAQ instructions and added the following to my elodg.cfg:

   Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Revisions
   Locked attributes = Revisions
   Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions
$date by $long_name This configuration shows the Revisions field in both the list view and the single entry view. This was a problem because certain entries are changed a lot so they took up a lot of horizontal space in the list view. I tried to remove the Revisions field in the list view but keep them in the single entry view with the following: Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject Show Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Revisions Locked attributes = Revisions Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions
$date by $long_name This took the Revisions field out of the list view and also the single entry view. However, the fields that were shown in the single entry view ended up as Author, Type, Category, Subject, Author (again). The last attempt were with the following configuration lines: Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject Show Attributes = Revisions Locked attributes = Revisions Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions
$date by $long_name This showed Author, Type, Category, Subject in the list view but only the Author field in the single entry view. How can I configure Elog to show the Revisions field in the single entry view but no the list view? Thanks, - Dan

The "Show Attributes" option is for the single entry view, while the "List Display" option is for the list view. So what you need is:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Show Attributes = Revisions
Locked attributes = Revisions
Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions $date by $long_name
List Display = ID, Date, Author, Type, Category, Subject
