On my linux box, every time I select a thread, or start a new entry etc, I see that one or many cookies are sent.

On a terminal, I get the message

Received unknown cookie "CalciumDisplayParams"

Now I do have a perl script called Calcium, (Calendar viewed through the browser) but it's definately not running now, not in any browser window, and in any case why should an action of ELOG trigger this?  I realise it may be due to an idiocyncratic set up of this box.  But in normal operation, I doubt the user would see these cookies being received.

Cookies are sent from your browser. ELOG has no influence on what the browser sends where. Probably you run your calender at the same machine where ELOG is running, so all the cookies your calender app stores in your browser are sent to ELOG as well. ELOG just complains about something it does not know, but otherwise this message can be simply ignored. Of course you can delete your cookies in your browser, but after the next call to your calendar app they will show up again.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the explanation.  I realised it was just an error message of no real import, but it can get irritating at times.

Good day,

I'm new to Elog and I find it really nice and straight foward...

I still have a few questions that I couldn't address reading the manuals.

-I'm creating a logbook with a lot of attributes. I would like to know if there is a way to name (display) my attribute differently then it's original name. That way I could program $attrib1; $attrib2, etc, and map a name to display the column accordingly... Is it something possible ? 

-Is it possible to hide the field "Entry Time" when creating or editing an entry ?

-I saw the Cell Style fonction to set Color (really nice...), My attribute1 is a worker name; Attribute2 is how the work is going on (stop, ready, in process) I would like to hide Atribute2 in list mode but change Attribute1 cell color based on Attribute2 status... is it possible to do so?

-When using "Show Text = 0" (i'm only using attributes), creating a new entry present the menu "Submit", "Save", "Preview" and "Back".... Pressing "Save" leaves the page, shows "OK with a number" and "Preview" is useless. Is it possible to tune what button should be present or not ? I would like to remove Save and Preview....

For the info, my config file

Thanks alot for your help :)

Hi Francois and Andreas,

On Francois' first question, I wonder if Francois is using attrib1, attrib2... as the actual attribute names in the config file.  If this is the case, Francois, you can name attributes with suitable names in the configuration file and dictate which ones appear in the List and Threaded display modes. In the List Display, those names appear along the top row at the top of each column, which I think is what you want. 

This example of three lines in a config file (made up).

Attributes = Worker, System, Organisation, Customer, Status, Ticket

List display = ID, Date, Organisation, Customer, Worker, System, Status, Ticket

Thread display = $Ticket: $Worker. $Organisation / $Customer, ($message id).

In list display, those words ("Organisation", "Customer" etc) are those that appear at the top of each column.  In Thread Display, note how you can use punctuation.  Also (not shown here) you can colour the line in Thread Display depending on the attribute System (which is akin to your question on cell style colouring) a feature not much used in this forum, and the Icon at the beginning of the line depending on the attribute Status. 

This is in the documentation, but perhaps it's not clear to all that - apart from the system defined attributes - any word can be used as an attribute name, and that "attrib1" "attrib2" is just shorthand for "any words you wish to use as attribute names".

Otherwise, if you want a different word along the top if the column in the List Display (and also in the form for making a new entry) for the attribute that appears in that column, why not just use that different word as the name for the attribute?

On the third point, about Cell Style, it would be good for having attrubute 2 able to dictate the colour of the cell of attribute 1, and no need to show attribute 2 in the List Display.  But take your point that it can be done in a shell script.

I only saw Andreas' edited version of the original enquiry, so I didn't see the orignal config file under discussion - so most of my previous entry is totally pointless.  Sorry about that.

Indeed there was a bug when you have "Show Text = 0". I fixed that in the current GIT version. I also hide the "Preview" button if "Show text = 0" since it really makes no sense there. I made a Windows Patch 3.1.0-3 which  ontains this fix.
