Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Nov 16 13:48:33 2016
|
If I edit an old entry, and do some mistake while editing, then there is currently no way to savely discard the changes.
The problem is that the entry will become a draft: if I close the window without saving, then the whole entry is gone: it will be converted into
a draft entry. But the draft does contain my changes, it is not the originally saved entry! |

The problem is that the elog database does not allow for a copy of an entry before you make modifications (and therefore get a "draft"). This
is actually very simila to other note taking programs. I use Evernote, which constantly synchronizes between devices, and there I also cannot go back to
the version before I started making modification. What one would need is a version system (and Evernote has one), so you can go back to the previous verison, |

Andreas,
Doesn't using the Save Drafts = 0 option result in the old 'Back' button returning (replacing the Delete option) meaning
you can revert back to your old (unmodified) version without saving, sure it doesn't save a draft but I'd rather be able to return back and lose |

Yes, "Save Drafts = 0" does the trick. But it is the "zero-option": trivial, but not satisfying ;-)
Warning: the "back" button of the browser has a very undesired effect: the entry
is then converted into a draft and not shown anymore in list view! |

Well, the "undesired effect" you describe is exactly the reason for having drafts. Somebody works on a lengthy message, then the browser dies,
or the user by accident hits the "back" button and (by accidnt, ehem...) confirms the dialog popping up which says "changes will be lost".
In that case the draft mechanism should take care of that the lengthy message is not lost. That's where it is for. If one does not like it, one can |

Hello,
In my opinion, there should be a "close/return" button (discard changes), even with the drafts enabled, but effectively there will
have to be several saves made (at least before/after). |

Hi Stefan,
actually what you refer to as the "quick and dirty" solution is probably the only feasible one: to store a copy
of the entry in the browser and restore that copy with a "cancel" button.
Otherwise you would need a full-fledged revision management,
to deal with multiple copies of the same entry open in several browsers.
Yet, that does not solve the "problem" |

But as a first step, it might be worthwhile to document this behaviour

Hi,
I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with the stunel. I came across email sending problem before. I created a email server in my own PC called
postfix. Elog can use this email server to send email. Finally, I could use the email server from our institution. Maybe Luedeke or Stefan can |

Datetime format with elog client, posted by Alan Grant on Wed Oct 26 16:39:38 2016

What is the input format expected by the elog client for a required Datetime defined field when inserting a record? (Eg: October 26, 2016 = ? in the
field's data parameter).
I have read some prior posts on this and the indication is that the input needs to use epoch time, however even when I enter 1477493161 or 0 |

I attempt a record insert is listed as a Required attribute. However, when I just remove it from the Required list the record including |

Hi Alan,
I have no idea if this helps but the Date and Time formats in the config file internally interconnect, as I discovered in trying to define them
separately. Define one, and the other is defined. |

I really appreciate your reply David.
There's only one Datetime defined field that I'm working with so I'm not sure what you mean, if you don't mind elaborating?
It sounds interesting. |

Just incase anyone's interested, we went ahead and wrote a python script to act as an email gateway for ELOG. If anyone's interested, we'd be happy to
