icon5.gif   Display Revisions field in single entry but not in list view, posted by Dan C. on Wed Dec 17 19:43:25 2008 
Hello,

   Thank you for such a great software package!

   I would like to ask how I can display the Revisions field in the single entry view but not in the list view. I followed the FAQ instructions and added the following to my elodg.cfg:

   Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Revisions
   Locked attributes = Revisions
   Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions
$date by $long_name This configuration shows the Revisions field in both the list view and the single entry view. This was a problem because certain entries are changed a lot so they took up a lot of horizontal space in the list view. I tried to remove the Revisions field in the list view but keep them in the single entry view with the following: Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject Show Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Revisions Locked attributes = Revisions Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions
$date by $long_name This took the Revisions field out of the list view and also the single entry view. However, the fields that were shown in the single entry view ended up as Author, Type, Category, Subject, Author (again). The last attempt were with the following configuration lines: Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject Show Attributes = Revisions Locked attributes = Revisions Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions
$date by $long_name This showed Author, Type, Category, Subject in the list view but only the Author field in the single entry view. How can I configure Elog to show the Revisions field in the single entry view but no the list view? Thanks, - Dan

Hello Stefan,

Thanks for your reply.

Maybe it was the way that I worded my original post but to reiterate, I wanted to have ID, Date, Author, Type, Category, Subject in the list display and Author, Type, Category, Subject, and Revision in the single entry view.

To get the desired results, I had to use the following:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Revisions
Show Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Revisions
Locked attributes = Revisions
Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions $date by $long_name
List Display = ID, Date, Author, Type, Category, Subject

Thank you again for your help and the great software package!
- Dan

The "Show Attributes" option is for the single entry view, while the "List Display" option is for the list view. So what you need is:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Show Attributes = Revisions
Locked attributes = Revisions
Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions $date by $long_name
List Display = ID, Date, Author, Type, Category, Subject
icon5.gif   Howto Set Default Fonts in Editor Window?, posted by Gregory M. Caughey on Sun Apr 10 07:35:09 2005 
Hello,
I have been running Elog for a long time on a variety of RedHat releases,
(this is a terrific project by the way). Currently running Elog v2.5.7 on 
RedHat (Fedora Core-II) and most is working great excepting being able to 
modify the default fonts being used by Elog when trying to write and save 
in text mode while in Elog's main editing screen. 

On my setup the font size is way too small and to work around this problem 
I write and save everything in HTML mode. I've browsed the Elog css file 
but don't yet see where or how to properly set the default font style or 
size for the main screen in the editor. Can you shed some light on this for 
me?

icon13.gif   Elog v2.6.2-1722 appears to have broken "Suppress default [0|1|2|3]" option on Windows XP box, posted by Gregory M. Caughey on Wed Oct 11 11:37:03 2006 
Hi Stefan!

Been running Elog-2.6.2-1714 successfully for a while and yesterday decided to download and experiment with the latest Elog-2.6.2-1722 build. I want to report a possible bug involving the "Suppress default" option when running build 2.6.2-1722 on a Windows XP laptop. I installed 2.6.2-1722 into a development folder and copied my current production 'elogd.cfg' file and other custom files to the development folder. Test postings produced the following results:

1.) The "Suppress default [0|1|2|3]" option causes the [] Suppress Email notification to display or not display as expected.

2.) However, email notifications will be sent under all circumstances regardless of which parameter selected.

3.) Downgrading to Elog-2.6.2-1714 produces the expected behavior.

I am running Windows XP with all current upgrades and security patches and Internet Explorer 7 - version: 7.0.5700.6

Regards, Greg

Thanks for reporting that problem. I just implemented Suppress email on edit and this could have had some side effect. I tried however to reproduce your problem and was not able to. Trying the "minimal" configuration file, the email notifications were suppressed if the check box was checked, or if Suppress default = 3. Can you check if it works with a minimal config file, and if yes, what option in your "full" config file causes this effect?

OK, you're absolutely correct. When I run Elog-2.6.2-1722 with a minimal 'elogd.cfg' the "Suppress default [0|1|2|3]" flag does appear to behave as expected. Taking your advice I went through my local 'elogd.cfg' evaluating items to see where the problem starts and I found a problem. In my local config file I use conditional attributes to modify the "category" and "type" fields (in the posting form) and here is what I'm finding wrong. For this example I have set "Suppress default = 3" and the following actions take place:

1.) Select "New" to begin a post and the form displays correctly with NO "[] Suppress Email notification" checkbox showing.

2.) When selecting "Category" an choosing an appropriate menu item the form is then redrawn and now there is a problem, the "[] Suppress Email notification" checkbox is displaying. The checkbox does work correctly but the behavior I'm expecting is for no checkbox to display during the composition of this posting. Am I misunderstanding the behavior of the "Suppress default = 3" flag?

3.) Each of the other flag parameters appear to work as expected as used in the above example.

I have attached screenshots that demonstrate this behavior as well as a snippet of the 'elogd.cfg' file.

Hope this helps a little...

Thanks, Greg

Yepp it helped. I could reproduce your problem and fix it. Can you try elog262-4.exe (Revision 1729)?

Hi Stefan!
Just installed elog-2.6.2-1729 and it's working perfectly. I haven't had enough time to test it thoroughly yet but will report any problems I might find. As always thanks for your excellent work, I appreciate it.

Regards, Greg

Hi

I want to display an image on the title page and have put the following code into the elogd.cfg:

Welcome Title = <img src="pictures/ln2.jpg"><p><font size = 5 color=white>Welcome to My Project Log</font>

I have put the picture "ln2.jpg" in a pictures folder I have created in the root ELOG directory however the image does not show up. Any assistance would be great :)

Thanks in advance

Adam

 

 

Hi Adam,

You might double check your file names vs. HTML tags. It appears in your example above that your HTML tag is requesting a file named: "1n2.jpg" and your image file name is "In2.jpg". Please note that in the first case the file name starts with (1) a numeral one and in the second case the file name start with a capital (I) a capital I.

icon5.gif   Login issue , posted by Heinzmann on Thu Mar 5 23:20:13 2009 

Hello,

I have installed the latest elog version from your web site.

My Admin user and my Login user are set in the elog.cfg to use the Self register process within the first login.

The issue is that I get only one time access to my log on the server (XP) and that is direct after the Selfregister process.

If I log out and login to test my admin and user account I will not get access to my server anymore.

My login page stays without any error message.

1 Notebook  XP Client internet explorer http://host ip:8080/demo------> 2nd Notebook XP Server

I have the deleted the cookies after each try.

I have retested later the accounts several times (login/logout) successful with the internet explorer http://host ip:8080/ on the server itself.

 Please could you help me to identify the issue?
