thanks Andres for your response!

I was thinking that it cannot be possible, but , I had to try to ask in the forum.

for my question, I think that this could be left on user responsibility to take care about it, and add a comment the the text fied, explaining that will be erased the html text on change the text field.

Thanks four your time.

And it is not clear to me, how you would like it to work: I often use HTML tables in preset text, where the user should fill out columns (e.g. for checklists). I wouldn't want the tables just to append when switching to another checklist. You could rather add a comment to the Type field, explaining that the text field will be overwritten when you change the type.

The Firefox addon Lazarus does store whatever you've typed in an HTML form: at least you could then recover what you've typed.

Cheers, Andreas

Dear all,

I would like to switch the template file depending on the attribute value (Type). 

If user already started editing the text body, on change (Type) he could lose this data. 

I'm using this example code :
Attributes = Type, Subject
Options Type = One{1}, Two{2}, Three{3}
Show text = 0

{1} Preset text = text1
{2} Preset text = text2
{3} Preset text = text3
{1,2,3} Show text = 1


I the attribute type change the user lost the data, because the text has been replaced.

Any idea about how to solve it?

Thanks!
Cheers

Additional info:

"Time format = %Y" results in "2015" being pasted into the edit window when I hit the "time stamp" button.

"Time format = %m/%Y" results in the string "06/2015"

"TIme format = %m/%d/%Y" results in the string "06/04"

"Time format = %m/%d %H" results in the string "06/04 "

I just updated to the latest official release (V3.1.0-2411f95) and have these problems:

  1. The Time Stamp button pastes the logbook name when "Time format" is not specified in elogd.cfg, and when it is set to "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M", it adds the string "5/28/."
  2. Drag and drop for attachments dosn't work on either Chrome 37.0.2062.94 (64-bit) or FIrefox 31.5.3 (both on Linux). D&D works on the midas.psi.ch demo page. On my logbooks, the "drop attachements here" area does not have a dashed line border
  3. Auto-saving does not seem to be working.

The "Syntax of elogd.cfg" help file doesn't seem to reflect some of these features... it took me a while to find the settings for LDAP authentication. Am I just missing some settings for these features?

My users are loving the new functionality added in 3.1!

Just upload one attachment at a time by hitting the "Upload" button, your 
message text stays there. Once you are finished, hit "Submit". Sorry, I 
thought this would be obvious, since most providers use this for their mail 
web interface.

No need to say sorry.  It is probably obvious to pretty much everyone.  -- It
the story of my life.

Thanks

I added this possibility to the source code (->CVS), although it's not clear 
to me how this should work for you. If you don't have access to the server 
where elogd is running, how should elogd then redirect you to somewhere else?

Thank you Stefan,
It's not that we wouldn't have access to the ELOGD server, it's the fact that 
we're trying to create our own dynamic selection page (with a more detailed 
overview of the content of different logbooks - such as the date of last 
logbook entry, number of entries in last week, month etc.) based on the 
information we send from ELOG to our SQL server. 

So in this case the user logs on to ELOGD (currently run on Linux) then will 
be redirected to the selection page on a Windows machine (ASP getting all 
necessary information from a MS SQL DB) and the dynamically created links 
refer back to the ELOGD Linux server. May seem a little too complicated but 
works fine.

I replaced the "back" link with a "list" link, hope that this makes now more sense.
  67411   Wed Jan 2 15:38:19 2013 Question Barendoffice@amtc2.comQuestionWindows2.9Re-using IDs after move to another Logbook overwrite Entries

Hi Stefan,

I have observed following behavior when I move entries from one logbook to another:

  1. The first entry in "Open" get ID "1"
  2. When I move this Item to "Closed", it will keep ID "1" as I have used "Preserve IDs = 1"
  3. A new entry in "Open" gets ID "1" again
  4. When I move this item to "Closed" it will overwrite the previous ID "1" in "Closed"
  5. A new entry in "open" gets ID "1" again....

Every new entry in "Open" will get the next higher ID Number related to the highest available ID number/entry in "Open".

Upon "move to Closed", the previous entries in "Closed"will be overwritten.

Is there a way to prevent the usage of a previously used ID Number when entering a new ID?
I.e. If an entry with ID "1" has been used in "Open" and moved to "Closed", have the next entry in "Open" use ID "2"?

Kind regards,

Barend
