Hi,

We've recently implemented the Copy To function and it works as advertised. The issue we're having is the original entry time is also copied, so if we take an old log and copy it to another log book the entry using reverse sort, preserve = 0 may not display as the newest id. It will receive the next message id, but not display in the correct order on the page. Is there an option or parameter that will force Copy To create a new entry time, so the message id will appear in the correct order?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi.

Is there any way that "Preset on duplicate" contain ID entry from which it was duplicated?

Cheers

Daniel.

Hello.

In Elog i have attribute called "Zmieniano" (eng. changed)  which should store how many times entry was edited. If entry was not edited it should have only preset value "oryginalny wpis" (eng. oryginal entry), but when I edit it, it should have also date, time, and person who make edit (this is made by "Subst on Edit Zmieniano = $Zmieniano<br>- Zmiana $date przez $long_name z $remote_host)". 

From version V3.1.1-3f311c5 I have problem with that. 

When I add entry, and entry is auto saved, then auto save is shown in the attribute "Zmieniano" (eng. changed) as an next edit, which I dont want. Entry from attached screenshot was not edited, but in "Zmieniano" (eng. changed) attributes it has two values:

• Oryginalny wpis (eng. oryginal entry),
• Zmiana 27.08.2015, 10:52 przez Daniel Sajdyk z serwerownia.sr.lez (eng. Changed 27.08.2015.... ) 

The second value is autosave time. 

Is this a bug?

Regards

Daniel. 

Hi Daniel,

this is an undesired side effect of a new feature. I wouldn't call it a bug ;-)

There is no straight forward way for elog to distinguish between a "Submit" and an automatic save. Therefore the "... on edit = ..." kicks in when an entry is saved automatically.

I guess Stefan can figure out a workaround, but for the moment I would sugest that you just switch off the auto save feature -- if you want to keep your save history:

Save drafts = 0

Hi Andreas and thank you very much for explanation ;)

So, we'll have to wait for new version which will correct this.

Cheers

Daniel.

Is there a way to distribute e-mail based on the consideration of several attributes and values?  A simple example:  attributes type and category have several different values, say, routine and problem for type and hardware and software for category, but one would only like messages sent when there's a problem to different sets of hardware or software types.  Thus:

Email

type routine   category hardware = no message

                        category software = no message

type problem  category hardware =  a@bcd.efg, h@ijk.lmn

                         category software = 1@opq.rst, 2@uvw.xyz

Yes, this can be done. See below for an example configuration.

Attributes = entrytype, category
Options entrytype = routine{1}, problem{2}
Options category = software, hardware

{1} Email category software =
{1} Email category hardware =
{2} Email category software = 1@opq.rst, 2@uvw.xyz
{2} Email category hardware = a@bcd.efg, h@ijk.lmn

Version 3.1.1, released August 4^th, 2015

• Updated CKEditor to version 4.5.1

• Implemented "Date/Time format <attribute> = ..."

• Implemented "Use Email Subject Edit = ..."

• Replaced "Back" by "Delete" button

• Fixed many issues with Draft Messages

• CSS file is now in *addition* to the default file elog.css

• Added LDAP documentation

• Added "Logout to URL = ..." option

• Added description of Apacher server authentication

There seems to be a small problem with the new "Date/Time format <attribute>" implementation. It works great for the detailed view of a single entry:

But fails to work on the list view (same entry, the Date column is formated as it should):

Relevant config part:

Time format Time Start = %H:%M:%S
Time format Time End = %H:%M:%S

Thanks for reportung that bug. I fixed it in revision f828049.

I am interested in using LDAP authentication for elogd on Windows for which it looks like I need to compile from source, enabling LDAP in the make file.

Does anyone have advice on build environments for Windows in which they have had success making elog?  Free ones preferably, such as Cygwin. 

Hello

I use Resolve host names = 1 in my config file, but I still get IP instead domain name.

I use elog in internal network with my own DNS.

Any sugesstions ?

Regards

Daniel. 

In elog I simplu use the function gethostbyaddr() to resolve the host name. If this does not work, the underlying OS does not know the hostname either. Probably you can test this with "nslookup a.b.c.d", to see any further error message.

I'm sorry... it was my mistake. I put Resolve host names in logbook config instead global.

Regards Daniel.
