Retain original ELOG id when moving an entry to an archive weblog, posted by Fergus Lynch on Wed Aug 9 12:25:57 2006
|
Hi There,
We have a number of weblogs where we regular archive off 'completed' entries to a separate archive weblog:
Is it possible to retain the original ELOG id when moving an entry to an archive weblog, or have a locked field which holds the original id which we could subsequently reference in the archive?
Many Thanks

Is there a spell check that can be implemented in Elog or any recommended add on spell check?
Thanks,

I find that the Google spell checker works very well in IE6. |
$long_name in Moptions, posted by Fergus Lynch on Mon Nov 20 16:23:37 2006

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.
Thanks

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. |
WowThat was quick, I'll implement this morning. Many thanks for introducing this, ELOG is such a good tool.
Many Thanks

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

Global "MOptions", posted by Fergus Lynch on Mon Mar 26 11:45:07 2007

Hi,
We have ELOG configured for virtually every conceivable use in our IT Operation dept and it is fantastically useful and easy to use. One result of this - naturally! - is that we have quiet a few logbooks.
Many of these logbooks share the same attributes - especially Moptions for equipment lists - which is fine but requires manually copying and pasting Moption lists into multiple logbooks to keep everything synchronized.
Would it be an option to have Global "MOptions" - perhaps configured in the 'global options' file - which can be called up and referenced in all logbooks?
Just an idea -
Cheers

Sure, that's possible already with the current version. Just put your MOptions statement under [global] and it will be used in all logbooks. If a specific logbook uses different MOptions, put the a second MOptions list under that logbook's section and it will overwrite the global setting. |
Perfect! Works a treat (I promise to read the manual next time!)

Add date and time stamp to file upload, posted by Fergus Lynch on Thu Oct 4 12:03:30 2007

Hi,
Been using ELOG for a couple of years now and I am very impressed with its functionality.
I would like to request a new feature - add date and time stamp to file upload. We use ELOG (amongst other things!) as a change log and this would really allow allow more accurate records to be kept. For instance we upload router config files (to record changes)and having the exact upload date would be a big enhancement, especially when there are a lot of attachments.
Many Thanks in Advance
