If several people will ask for it, I will put it in. |

Well, maybe you didn't realize, but searching for boolean attributes never really worked. If you want to search for entries where a boolean is true (or 1), then you could check the tick box in the past. But if you wanted to search for all entries were an attribute was false (not true) you could not do it, because the system assumed you are not interested in an attribute if the tick box was not checked. With the new way, you could either specify 'unspecified' meaning you are not filtering on this attribute, or you can explicitly specify '0', to look for entries where the attribute is false. The best would be to have a three-state tick box, which can be on/off/grayed. Under Windows API this does exist, but not in HTML. So I had to go with the three radio buttons.
Now one could argue how to name boolean states. There are several options:
- 0 / 1
- no / yes
- false / true
- off /on
I have chosen the first one, but that's kind of arbitrary. If the community believes that another one is better, I'm willing to change. |

Thanks for the great explanation.
What are the chances of having a choice of the four options (as mentioned in your list) somehow so that when boolean-x is used (for example) in the configuration file the applicable option text is shown in the 'Find' page?
ie.
boolean-x = 0/1
boolean-y = no / yes
boolean-z = false / true
etc.
A long shot perhaps but don't know until you ask?

Stefan,
I've noticed in the latest release when using the 'Find' page that any boolean expression (tick box) is now shown as '0,1 or unspecified'. Is this intentional? My colleagues are finding it hard to get their heads around what to choose and preferred the old 'Tick Box' option. Have there been changes to the configuration arguments used for Boolean that I've missed?

I had a look and it just looks great. I will certainly add support for this editor, but I have to fix a few things, like inserting of images and the preview feature need modifications of FCKeditor. So stay tuned. |

Hi Stefan,
I have just found an open source for WYSIWYG text editor named FCKeditor at http://www.fckeditor.net/. It looks great. The download Zip-file for this tool is only 1 MB.
Dokumentation is here: http://wiki.fckeditor.net/
or TinyMSC
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/index.php
Have you an idea how to integrate them in elog?
Best regards,
An |

In that case it might help to run elog under your personal account. |
I finaly found how to do it.
Replacing Z: by \\server.com\ELOG\ and running the service with my personnal acount
cmd /K net stop elogd
regedit
change ImagePath of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\elogd to "\\server.com\ELOG\elogd.exe" -D -c "\\server.com\ELOG\elogd.cfg"
close regedit
cmd /k net start elogd |
