Is it possible to have an attachment to an entry in a different directory to the working directory of the logbook being used?

By which I mean, if you have in logbook hidden the attachment files

../logbooks/hidden/110705_235520_whatthis-0.png
../logbooks/hidden/110705_235520_whatthis.pdf

that an entry in another logbook, public, can use the entries in hidden to show them (and do everything that you can do with an attachment)
without making another copy in public?

I see that if, working in public, you attach the .pdf file in hidden, the files get copied across as

../logbooks/public/110705_235520_whatthis-0.png
../logbooks/public/110705_235520_whatthis.pdf

that is, with the original (hidden) timestamp, and no second time stamp superimposed.  From which you can gather I've been playing around, manually editing a yymmdda.log file to try and get the result I want, even if for the moment it cannot be done via elog; but without success, although there were some bizarre interpretations by the elog program of the edited yymmdda.log file, depending upon what I tried.

For one entry, it is of course no big deal, copying the files into the public directory, but if you are dealing with multiple huge entries, it does seem wasteful of HD space

But my reason for this is that hidden has restricted access, whereas public has general access.  The attachments themselves are not restricted, but comments, history etc around them in the restricted access logbook should not become available to the general viewer.

Dear all,

I wonder if anyone of you already tried to  change raw style in case of empty attribute value.

In my configuration file I have defined attribute "End date" (without quotation marks) and it's type is datetime.

How should I configure extra style for entries where this attribute doesn't have value.

My tries were:

Style End date = background-color:red

Style End date "" = background-color:red

Style End date " " = background-color:red

Style End date - = background-color:red

But they didn't work.

Any ideas?

I would like to have different header for 'Text' internal attribute: e.g. an alias "Notes". So on the list page header of Text attribute column is Notes.

Is it already possible? I couldn't find it in Administrator's Guide. 

If not is it possible to add this feature?

I have searched the Elog forum and docs at length for actual examples of how to use the Elog client and I apologize if I missed it somehwere but could someone please provide some actual examples of how the parmeters are used? I haven't had much success setting it up just going by the Elog command syntax quide.

What I intend to do is load a raw text file into an active logbook directly, either one line at at time or batched from a text file ("m" option).

Also, I saw a Perl script contribution somewhere on the site which appears to offer the same functionality as the above util. Just wondering why there would be two methods, and which might be the best for me to use?

Thank you.

I have define a MOption  BACKUP = Server, Switch, Router any now i link to use the Status of the Backup Option to display diffrent html file in the Text field, i the a posible way to do this ?

sample:

MOption  BACKUP = Server, Switch, Router

{Server&Switch&Router} Present Text = file1

{Server&Switch} Present Text  = file2

I have a street address attribute called Ticket Location which I would like to hyperlink to google maps so I can see a map representation of the actual value. For example, the value "654 Pembina" on the List page shoud be inserted into the url such that it  displays http://maps.google.com/?q=654 Pembina, winnipeg when the browser window opens. This url works fine when I manually type it directly into the address bar, however I cannot get it to work properly as a link originating from Elog.

This is what I have done so far: I added the following to my cfg file: Change Ticket Location = <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=$Ticket Location,%20winnipeg">$Ticket Location</a> ... but the resulting link does not end up contiguous on the single entry page, ie: <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=72217864 Location,%20winnipeg">72217864 Location</a>  .I also tried several variations in the cfg file without any better success (ie: double quotes; resorting to 1 word variable name; concatenating with +; etc).

Having this map link would be a tremendous help to our operation. Does anyone know of any way to make this work?

There's also two spin-off issues I'm having with the above approach that you may have noticed: 1) I also have another separate variable called Ticket (rep the actual ticket #) which Elog assumes I want in the url, hence the reason 72217864 shows up on the single entry opage; 2) Secondly, I prefer the single entry to retain the original value as the link (in this case, 654 Pembina), as opposed to <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=72217864 Location,%20winnipeg">72217864 Location</a>.

Any suggestions on resolving these issues is greatly appreciated.

 Update: I checked through the forum some more (keying on "link" instead of "hyperlink") and found the answer to my main problem - I needed Allow HTML = 1.

So the only issue remaining is that so far I can only get it to work when I use a one word variable (please ref my point #1 in last paragraph above). When I use $Ticket Location vs just $Location, the HTML href sees it as two separate variables. Is there any way to ref $Ticket Location as a single variable in the href statement?

After setting up email addresses for notifications I noticed that the "Full Name" has part of an email address in it. I've tried several ways to correct this however it keeps sending me to a page that says "Password may not contain blanks" and I've not done anything with the password.

Can you tell me how to correct this issue?

I certainly appreciate your help!!
