Hello Stefan,

the changes I asked for, are working as requested. The extandable options are 
inserted into the correct line of the conditional attributes. 

  Thanks.

PS: While testing on a new demo logbook, I first made the mistake to declare 
both options, the first one and the related one as extendable. But I can imagine 
that this was really never ment to be implemented.

i cannot view images in elog, either as attachments or as icons,

Thank you

I would like to create a paper waste logbook. I need to have a column that 
shows a weight in pounds and another column with a calculation from those 
pounds to dollars.  pounds x $4.00 = cost  I was wondering if this was 
possible? 

All other fields would be just Date, Batch#, Operator, Reason, Process 
Operator, Manager, Lbs, and Cost,  I would also like to total this cost if 
possible, on a search selected basis. Similar to Excel.

Thanks for any input

I was upgrading to the latest version and I wrote over my cfg file. I 
still have my database files. Is there a way to put the cfg file back 
together using the database files as a guide.  It did not seem to want to 
upgrade until I did this and I forgot to copy and then paste the cfg files 
back.  The latest version is now running. Before I did this I was still 
getting the old version number at the bottom of the main screen.  Also I 
have an RSS reader that can do user name and password, is this possible 
with Elog if the RSS reader has the ability?

Thanks

I guess this qualifies as two questions.

I have a question about sending emails. I have a customer service ELog 
currently running but I would like to have an option to be able to pick 
from a list of people, one or more than one to send emails to with the 
logbook entry as the body.  I am currently using the email option to send 
emails to a list if an emergency is used in a category but I would like to 
be able to send the entry to different people at different times.  I would 
have everyone pre-entered with their names and emails and you could check 
a box by the person or people you want the log entry sent.  I wasn't sure 
if this is possible with the current system. 

Thanks for any input.

PS. The emails are actually email enabled cell phones so the cs entries 
are going to drivers who pick up and drop off work for the company.

Hello,

Thank you so much for working with me on this.  The RSS reader I have been trying 
is at http://www.rssreader.com   and is version 1.0.88.0  It is a free RSS reader 
and seems to work very well.  It has a username and password system, but I am not 
sure what and how it will support with ELog. I have been successful in reading an 
open logbook with no passwords.  

Thanks again,

Hello,

I downloaded the latest file and installed but the version number stayed at 
2.5.8-2 and did not change to -3. I stopped and restarted the service and 
reinstalled a couple of times as this is just a demo experimental base I 
had it overwrite everything, but it stilled stayed the same.

Also is there a way to change the display of the default date. It uses 
allot of space in the date column.

Thanks
