Hi,

Is there a way of having $long_name in 'Moptions'?

We use ELOG (amongst other things!) to allocate work out to Developers (who are all configured as ELOG users) I would like to use 'checkbox' functionality to allocate out a task to more than one developer. Currently only a single developer is chosen from a drop down list.


This was not possible until now, so I implemented the option
Type <attribute> = muserlist

which gives you checkboxes (= multi-userlist) for all users instead of a drop down list. This feature is implemented starting from revision 1758 and it will be contained in the next release of elog.



Hi Stefan, apologies if I am being a bit dense (!) When I download the latest windows binary it extracts to ELOG V2.6.2-1749. Where could I get revision 1758 >

Thanks in advance
Fergus

Hi Stefan,

Is there a way to add a 'Tool Tips' to individual 'Options' similar to that currently available for Attributes? I have several checkboxes under an attribute for predefined email groups and would like to see if I can make the recipient list viewable via a mouse hover using the 'Tool tip' feature.
If not possible can it be added to the wishlist?

Many thx.

Ok, I implemented this. It is in revision 1760 and will be contained in the next release.

That's really great, thank you so much.
What will the configuration line be?

If you have
MOptions item = value_1, value_2

you can do a
Tooltip value_1 = text

Thanks Stefan,

When implemented there seems to be a finite number of characters that are visible under a tool tip, is this an OS defined limit or something that can be changed?

ELOG itself has a limit of 256 characters, but that can be changed easily. I found that Mozilla Firefox only showed 70 characters and then three dots ("..."), while Internet Explorer showed all 256 characters, wrapping words if necessary. So it strongly depends on the browser.

Thanks, we use Internet Explorer in service but I tested using Mozilla (hence above).
I'd really like to be able change the limit to more than 256 characters, is this simply a configuration parameter or a code change?
