do you know how I can default set the option "Search all logbooks" in the Find page selected/checked?


I added the option
Search all logbooks = 2

which lets you do that. It's in the SVN version and will be contained in the next release.

Well, you didn't realize, but you were my beta-tester for the keyboard shortcuts Big grin . I didn't yet publish it, so you must have gotten this brand new feature from SVN.

You should really have told me Wink . Actually, I found out about the <Ctrl-C> issue while using this logbook.

Did so, we are running now -1826. I think it is very usable, with maybe one exception (this might be a browser issue, however): When using the shortcuts and/or the ELCode buttons, sometimes the code is generated and the cursor in between the [XX] and [/XX] directive, but sometimes, the whole code directive is selected as if for editing

which prevents from immediately continuing to type (which, I guess, was the idea behind the shortcuts). The behaviour is not completely reproducible, and I have even seen it change during one and the same browser (=firefox) session while working on the same entry (*). I also had it once that the browser out of a sudden completely ignored the ELCode meaning, and instead used <Ctrl-I> for page info and <Ctrl-B> for the history.

(*) It just happened again!


BTW, there are (of course Big grin) two other issues. They are still present in -1826
- one bug was reported by a logbook user: when using the "find" function in a logbook, and selecting one value from the "Author" drop-down list and another from the "Category" drop-down list, the elogd reports no entries found, but when specifying only the "Author" and leaving "Category" blank, many entries are found, including those with the "Category" being looked for. When specifying only the "Category" and leaving the "Author" blank, the elogd also reports no entries found. Has anyone reported a similar behaviour?

- We have one logbook top group for the beamtimes. Under certain conditions, a preset text is to be displayed.
{2&a} Preset Text = resource/text_1.txt
{2&b} Preset Text = resource/text_2.txt
However, the definitions of these conditions have to be repeated for every logbook in the group (putting it only under [global beamtimes] doesn't do it), otherwise they are ignored.

Any idea on these?

I found at least that problem. If you select one or more words and press CTRL-B for example, your selection is surrounded by the [B]...[/B] tags. If you double click with your mouse on a word, usually the space between this word and the next word is selected as well. I modified the code such that if there is a blank at the end of a selection, it gets stipped off before placing the tags. This had the side-effect that if there was no selection at all, you got the reported mis-behaviour if there was a blank at your cursor position. I fixed that now in the updated elcode.js.

Your other problem of ignoring the control keys at all I could not reproduce. Try to reproduce it in a well-defined way and let me know.

I tried to reproduce this, but without success. I made a very simple config file like:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Quick filter = Type, Category

And produced some entries with various attribute values. But when selecting them from the quick filter, or selecting them from the find page, both gave correct results. Maybe you used a userlist attribute for the author?

I tried to reproduce with this code:
[global]
port = 8080
password file = passwd
SMTP host = mail.psi.ch

{1}Preset text = Routine
{2}Preset text = Other

[demo]
Attributes = Author, Type
Options Type = Routine{1}, Other{2}

but it worked fine. Maybe some other problem?

Possible, but I think it worked also on our server until the number of logbooks in the top group got larger than one. Can you try to see if your code still works when there is more than one logbook defined?

I tried with following config file:

port = 8080
password file = passwd

{1}Preset text = Routine
{2}Preset text = Other

[demo]
Attributes = Author, Type
Options Type = Routine{1}, Other{2}

[demo2]
Attributes = Author, Type
Options Type = Routine{1}, Other{2}

and it worked fine as well. So take you (big) config file, strip one item by one, until you arrive at the simple config file above and tell me the minimal config file which produces this problem.

Starting from SVN revision 1801, simple tables are supported in ELCode tags. One can now embed tables in elog entries like this:
[table border=3 cellpadding=10]
One | Two
|-
Three | Four
[/table]

which produces following table:

One Two
Three Four


The syntax is explained in the ELCode help page.
