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

You cannot put the same logbook into two groups. All you can do is to define two logbooks C1 and C2, and force their data directories to be the same (via the "Subdir = ..." directive), so they will actually look at the same data.

I really appreciate your help and I hope that my questions warrant your time.

What I am trying to accomplish is two totally separate groups of logbooks that share a common logbook.

Three logbooks

Logbook A

Logbook B

Logbook C (just informational, write protected)

Two Groups

Top Group 1 = Logbook A, Logbook C

Top Group 2 = Logbook B, Logbook C

What is happening is everything looks good until you try to enter Logbook C from Group 1. You end up in Logbook C (the right logbook) but you are now in Group 2.

Actual Code:

;Groupings
Top Group Central = Centaur, On-LineHelps
Top Group Good Sam = GSH, On-LineHelps

 Thanks!

 Excellent! Thank you.

In the elogd.cfg file, you cannot have multi-line options. Either you put everything on a single line (I guess there is also some limit at a few hundred characters) or you call a batch file which then calls the mysql command. 

Hello all,

i have a question to mysql inexecute:

This works:

Execute new = mysql -h localhost -u root -D test1 -e "insert into `test1` (author, type) values ('$Author', '$Type')"

This doesn't work:

Execute new = mysql -h localhost -u root -D test1 -e "insert into `test2` (Autor, Adressat, Teil1, Teil2, Teil3,
Teil4, Teil5, Teil6, Teil7, Teil8 )  values ('$Autor', '$Adressat' ,  '$Teil1', '$Teil2', '$Teil3', '$Teil4', '$Teil5',
'$Teil6', '$Teil7', '$Teil8' )"

db is okay, i have all checked this. My question is: can the execute-command take a multiline argument? Or perhaps does somebody see a mistake i have made in the execute-line?

Thanks!

Steve

 Thanks for reporting that problem. It has been fixed in SVN revision 2156.
